i met you in the dark

Indy felt like they had known each other forever, but the reality was they hadn’t even known each other a day. However new they were to each other the two wolves held to one another tightly, like they needed one another. Indigo held back his curious feelings of desire, even if Segin wanted that attention he didn’t think it was right. This was too new, and Indigo didn’t want to add any hurt to the mottled man’s list. He’d suffered enough and Indigo refused to add to that by rushing into intimate affections. No matter how tempting. They were alone and so close. The thoughts were dangerous to allow to linger in his mind, but the warmth of Segin and the subte hints of his musky scent made the return every time they were chased off.

Segin’s soft answer made another wash of excitement race down his spine and Indy ignored it. That task became increasingly more difficult as Segin played with the fur at his chest. The question he gave distracted him, but beneath thick violet fur Indigo felt himself becoming too warm for comfort. This reaction wasn’t something he was unfamiliar with, Duchess easily brought him to this state, and the precious moments he had with Aslatiel. How had Segin done this to him without even trying?

To release nervous energy one huge paw began to caress Segin’s scruff and shoulders rhythmically as he answered softly. ”I have two (three?) with me now.” Rue’s face flashed in his mind’s eye and he grit his teeth and curled a little tighter around Segin for a moment. ”I failed one of my friends before them, and she died.” Indigo admitted softly, feeling like he could and should tell Segin what he felt and went through. ”I was too slow. I wasn’t there for her. She died because of me.” He’d never gotten over his failure, he could never forget her screams. Tears threatened to well up into his eyes as he held Segin tighter and nuzzled against his neck desperately.
