Go Get Good

Papa… the whisper seemed to reach into his very soul. He had always been close to Asla. always fought to relate to her, to be there with her, to raise her up. She, in turn, had matured into a clever leader and an accomplished fighter. It was not right for the father to lean on the child, but his broken heart couldn’t seem to put itself back together again.

Not even her softly spoken word could repair him, through it shot pain through his heart. “Love them or not, you would chase them into adulthood in one piece.” He said with conviction.

...Which was more than Sirius could say.

Days

Azure had been days from his second birthday. The thought stilled him, wrenching into his heart as he thought of their first birthday. They would never have a second, not with a grumpy Azure, juggling Hana and Venom between his paws.

He lost a few moments of time as that horror sliced into him. Sweat broke out on his skin, but he was here again. Here and with Asla, and catching most of her words. He leaned forward, and kissed her forehead again. Needed the contact, even if he could not voice it. Needed the closeness of pack to keep him steady. “I love you too, My Star.” he said softly, understanding that was what her words were saying. She would be steady for him, because she loved him, and she needed him to find his way back to them again.
