He grinned at Void's vote of confidence as he declared that his opponent didn't stand a chance and chuckled as he returned the bump Void gave his shoulder. He had no doubt that Hela would give him a fight for the rank he desired, but he honestly wouldn't have it any other way. He didn't want to just be handed a position - he wanted to work for it. He wanted to prove that all the time he put into his training since he was very young had finally paid off. In a way he mostly just wanted to prove to himself that taking the time away from his family to focus on his skills had been worth it in the end, but the more he thought about it the more he felt that he had grown exponentially stronger since he reunited with them... and since he met Void. Just as the thought crossed his mind, he noticed Void stop so he did so as well, turning his gaze to his love and seeing the grin that the starry man wore. It was infectious and Plague found himself grinning in return as he turned to face Void properly. He never grinned as much as he did when he was with the Destruction man that made him feel more in the short time they had been together than he had felt in his entire life. Void's words echoed the ones he had spoken the night on the cliffs when he had begun the hard fall into love and it made him chuckle as he leaned forward to press a kiss onto the lips of the man he adored. Unlike that night, there was no hesitation, no regret, and no confusion in this kiss. He was sure of his feelings now and confident in his love for Void. There was a long road ahead of them, but he was ready and willing to face whatever it brought. As he pulled back again after a long, lingering moment of affection, his eyes found Void's again. "What is it about you?" he repeated back quietly, a grin lingering on his lips. Of course he knew that they would have to separate again once this trip came to an end, but he refused to let himself think about that. He only wanted to think about the possibility that they would find his missing family during this search and they would never need to separate again. He could help Void return his family back to Abaven and then they could be together. That was the only possibility and future he was willing to consider right now - no matter how difficult that might be to accomplish. |
