Carried Away

No matter what, Indigo had promised Cosette that he was going to look after her. The boy truly adored the tiny girl, he cared about her and wanted nothing besides her happiness and to see her blossom into the beautiful butterfly that she was. To his own more selfish desire Indy wanted to keep her safe, he couldn’t live with himself if something happened to her. The relief he felt when he saw her unharmed was indescribable, but he could see the emotions on her face. Indy could see the turmoil behind her smile and feel the uncertainty within her. Bright blue eyes caught the lavender bunch as she dropped the bundle and brought her gaze to him.

Something was bothering her, Indigo couldn’t guess himself but he tried to perk slightly as her sad voice lifted to the air. She hadn’t wanted to bother him, but Indy would have stopped the world for her if she needed it. She went on, hoping that she hadn’t worried him more than she needed to. Indigo could see the shame in her as she looked down at the bundle of flowers.

Indigo didn’t say anything at first, he stepped forward slowly. To give her plenty of time to deny him if she wished. The yearling aimed to curl his much bigger form around her tiny body, with a gentle touch to her cheek as he tried to comfort her. For a moment he was unsure if there were any words to speak to her. His blue eyes lowered to the lavender on the ground. ”You know, lavender is my favorite flower.” Indy told her softly. ”You’ve received a special gift.” Indigo hadn’t been able to find the flowers in a long time. Indigo grew quiet, aiming to squeeze her lightly, so glad to have found her safe and sound. If she wished to tell him about her deeper thoughts he would listen, but he would push her if she did not want to.
