You Were Right For Me

The young Fatalis man slept a lot, his body was recovering but the strength was sapped from him. Coupled with the recent loss of Resin the young violet pelted man was a mess. Physically he was recovering with a swiftness but mentally he had regressed. He couldn’t even do anything to alleviate the thoughts that plagued his mind, loss, guilt, and sorrow weighed heavily on him, and Indigo was thankful for how much he was expected to sleep. If he didn’t wish to be bothered or couldn’t handle being social he just closed his eyes and acted like sleep had him in its clutches. He wasn’t often alone even after that, but even if he didn’t want to talk about any of it there was always a warm presence close by to take comfort in. Even if it was only their presence.

He was well and truly sleeping when Duchess walked in, undisturbed as he lowered herself beside him. He began to drift upwards when the warm touch of her toes rested over his. He took in a deep breath, finally able to do that task without cringing in pain, and sleepily blinked opened brilliant sapphire eyes. The floral scent of her bouquet pulled him from his sleep as his gaze fell to her before he was even full aware of the flowers. Indy smiled freely, feeling every other emotion melt away under Duch’s care.

”Good morning,” He mumbled softly, leaning forward slightly to kiss her forehead shyly. Duchess had a talent for being a brightness in the darkness that haunted him. He pressed his nose to hers and took in a deep breath, happy to breath her in and have her close like this.
