Standing Still

Indigo trusted that if Cosette wished to tell him what might be bothering her, he didn’t feel like it was his place to press. The Fatalis man did hope that she was aware that she could tell him anything, he didn’t judge and he would be there for her through whatever she needed him to. He leaned against her slightly as she looked up to him with her bright eyes, which looked incredibly tired. He didn’t have an idea about what had called her away from him but Indigo smiled softly as she asked him to stay with her. Her request was open ended, but he thought he could see in her eyes that she needed him for longer than a few moments.

”I’ll stay with you as long as you want,” Honestly Indigo felt himself worrying for her nightly while she kept herself away from the group, he should have come out to find her sooner and spend time with her like this. He promised not to leave her behind, and he would do his best to rectify their relationship. She deserved it and his attention. ”I know what you mean,” he agreed softly. The world seemed to whirlwind around him and he had to run to keep up.

Indigo’s bright sapphire eyes gazed into Cosette’s light seafoam gaze. She looked exhausted, not so much physically but he could see the strain in her beautiful eyes. His heart clenched and Indigo leaned forward tentatively. With careful gentle movements he lowered himself to the ground beside her. Hesitantly, so she could easily rebuke him if he pressed her too hard, he aimed to wrap one massive arm around her delicate shoulders to bring her closer to his chest. If she moved with him Indigo would aim to hug her tightly to his chest. He would remain here like this with her as long as she wanted. With gentle movements Indigo shifted slightly, aiming to press an innocent kiss against her forehead.
