i met you in the dark

Moments passed and with each one Segin relaxed more fully against his side. Indigo also felt grateful to have someone beside him to weather the storm that raged beyond the tiny moss cave. He didn’t have to dwell on the loss that he struggled through while he was here focused on trying to help this near stranger. Maybe it was selfish in a way, he wanted the feeling of accomplishment, mending a wound or warming someone up. Indigo could see as Segin buried his features into plush purple fur. He tried not to shiver himself at the cold touch of the other man. As Segin tried to get closer Indigo slowly tried to accommodate. He shifted his weight slightly so Segin had more fluffy fur to use for warmth and drying.

Indy curled around him slightly, not quite as well as he could with Duchess, but they fit together better than anticipated. Indy found himself smiling softly, an expression he hadn’t expected to linger for very long, but seeing the life breathed back into this wolf helped to soothe his own soul. He never balked at physical touch or closeness, especially in a wolf in the state of Segin’s condition. Broken, inside and out.

One dark ear flicked forward as Indigo spoke his question, but it seemed like it took Segin a long time to decide if he wished to answer. Indigo was patient, he hadn’t expected an answer, but Indigo couldn’t have left his attention anywhere but those sad silvery eyes. Segin shook his head, confirming he was alone. He hadn’t been with anyone in a long time, and there was no one to go back to. ”You can stay with me, if you want.” He offered quietly. The lightning seemed to settle down, but the rain continued to pour. ”Or come with me, rather. I won't be staying in this cave.” He kind of chuckled lightly, almost uncertain of his words. Talking to Gypsy, or Duchess, that was easy. Segin was shattered differently from the girls in Indigo’s life. He didn’t know why but felt like he should take extra care with the mottled man he held.
