A Long Time Coming but it's Bittersweet~

There was nothing to compare this moment to, everything they had been through together and apart was worth the high he experienced with her right now. Electricity raced through him even still as he recovered and returned to full consciousness. All he wanted to know was Aslatiel but even now, moments after, a return to the real world pulled at the both of them. His breathing calmed with the rhythmic motions of claws through mane, and Indigo relaxed fully against her. He breathed her in and held her tight while he could as she questioned him. She curled into him as he wrapped his body around her. He remembered their dwindling time together, and he was reminded of the uncertain and bleak future ahead of him.

He felt the bubble burst as she lowered her gaze from those tempting kisses against his chin. What she told him next hurt more than he would ever allow himself to let on. Indigo’s cat like claws trailed the fur at the back of her neck as she went on, the only sign of his nervous energy. Everything she said put him on edge despite his efforts to refuse the feeling. He knew the path ahead of them, but hadn’t expected to hear what she said about Naiche. She talked about her desire to quickly have her children and move on with her life. He wanted to focus on the latter part and how much he wanted that as well but he was struck by the consequences of his actions.

"Would this… Would you… Could you...?" He couldn’t finish the sentence, couldn’t let the possibility fall from his lips. "He loves you." He kept the emotion from his voice as he reflected, still holding onto her as tight as he could. "Whenever we can manage, I never want to let you go." Indigo could hardly think about his own future beyond just wanting her right here against his chest. Indigo tried to clear his mind and reached down to kiss Aslatiel again. This. This was what he wanted.

Reluctantly he pulled away, knowing he should be as honest with her as she had been with him. How much courage had it taken for her to say that? Not that she had ever hid anything from him. "I met a couple of girls who needed my help, I think I want to take them and lead a band." He nuzzled into her again, he hadn’t realized how hard this conversation would be. "I’m not ready for a family, there’s so much I don’t know yet." He was far from ready to be a father, but she spoke of Fatalis duty as well. One day he’d have his duty to uphold but Indigo felt like he was so far away from that goal when his sister was here, eager to be over with the ordeal. "I’ve always felt like the odd one out except for when i’m with you, the longer I’m apart from you the more I find lost ones like me."
