and your shade dappled smile

Indigo was looking forward to the day that they were part of a band, they could stop and stay wherever they wanted for as long as they wanted. There would be no urgency to return to set in stone borders. These little vacations into the wild could very well be their new everyday. Indigo was infatuated with the thought and more so than ever he felt an eager anticipation for his band of misfits. He didn’t want to let go of Duch’s soft form, but duty called. He didn’t hesitate too much, she was his. Indigo ould indulge whenever they wished, the pair of them had broken down a barrier. Her kisses, her body, and her love, was all his to drink in and enjoy.

Even as he sorted through the familiar blooms he couldn’t help but steal glances at her as the sun danced through her fur. Indigo wore an easy smile, maybe it was because he couldn’t help the expression when he was surrounded by such beauty, or maybe it was the thrill of being with Duchess only a short time before. Indigo gathered a few common flowers, they weren’t the most beautiful but they would be the most useful to the Hallows. As he gathered his collection his companion similarly finished her own.

Indigo looked up to find her in his blue gaze, her petite form surrounded by the field of flowers as she carried a perfect bouquet between her jaws. Indigo felt a deep warmth surge through him and he found himself grinning up at her. He needed this. Indigo needed these moment to remember that life was worth living, that sorrow was not the only emotion he could feel. Some days it felt like just that, especially when he had to be separate from Aslatiel. But Duchess kept him sane, she gave him hope, and she was here in this beautiful field of flowers with him. There wasn’t much more Indigo could ask for.

Duchess looked up to him, but instead of the warm smile he wore there were tears in her eyes. Indigo’s features fell like the flowers in his grasp as he stepped forward to kiss away the tears from her eyes. He breathed in the scent of her with the perfume of the fragrant flowers that surrounded them, but he said nothing. Blue eyes slid closed and for a moment it was just the two of them in the whole world.
