Strides in the right direction

There was no doubt that Plague was in for a difficult fight, a rank that lofty wouldn’t have just anyone in that position. Void tried not to entertain the thought that Plague could be seriously hurt in this challenge. He pushed the thought from his mind, the ivory man was capable as he was intelligent. Void put his faith in him and knew he would come out victorious. He’d take comfort in the thought, especially because he couldn’t be there to support him and witness the event unfold. One day soon, he hoped. Void wouldn’t be able to take searching forever, he knew one day soon they would need to make their return to Abaven. He just prayed they would have Eulogy and Desolate alongside them.

Having Plague beside him helped to chase away those dark thoughts, his bright smile chased away Void’s fears. The way he loved him so easily gave him hope, life was so difficult sometimes but even through their struggles the pair could smile together. The star spangled Destruction felt his heart beat faster in his chest as Plague leaned forward with a loving kiss. Void could so easily get lost in that easy and exciting affection. For a moment he wondered if he wanted to return to camp, but Plague pulled away slightly and Void blinked open blue and lavender eyes to meet his verdant gaze.

Void was smitten, and Plague admitted himself as well. He couldn’t say what it was, fate, or destiny, but he knew it was love. He cared deeply and in such a different way about Plague than th either wolves in his life. Not that he cared any less about his family, the opposite in fact. Since finding Plague he loved them more completely. ”Sometimes I’m not sure,” he had his own self doubts he struggled with, and the distance that lay between them was difficult to ignore. Yet here the man was, taking time from his own pack to search for wolves he hadn’t ever met. ”But there’s no one I love like you.” He added and savored the words as he said them. One day they would no longer be separated by family or duty, he knew it despite the uphill battle they seemed to face.
