Where There Is Desire

Indigo wasn’t one to sleep in, he had a schedule that he kept closely to with little variation. He fell asleep at the same time and woke at the same time most every day. This morning was a bit different, he’d slept far past when he usually rose with the sun. Not that you could really tell where it was in the sky, clouds continued to hide anything but a dreary infinity. Maybe it was the warm presence at his side that kept him asleep for so long, not that Duchess company was new.

The girl was making her place known in the Hallows, she was pulling her weight and more. Indigo appreciated her calming presence when he was falling sleep. The warmth of her and the subtle sweet scents that hung in her fur. The soothing allure of her put him in a trance that he wouldn’t admit to, maybe that was why he slept so late today. The boy wasn’t often so fully at ease and the change was enough to let him fully rest and more. He breathed in softly as he instinctively curled around Duchess sleepily as she wrapped her arm around his.

Indigo shifted his hips so he could better fit around the dainty girl, he lowered his head over his arm so his red marked blue eye could sleepily find Duchess' soft features. He sighed contentedly and his eyes fluttered closed, as though he could easily return to sleep while he had her there.
