the distance from me to where you'd be

He barely lowered himself to the earth a pace or two away from the sleeping roll and Aslatiel was on her feet, turning on his with a scoff as she created more distance between their bodies. Indigo was exhausted, he’d never gone this long without sleep before and the intense emotions of the last twenty-four hour took their toll on him. He was truly nearing the end of is rope, and yet he remained stoic and expressionless as the one e loved scowled at him. This was far from the beautiful nights they shared together before. There couldn’t have been a bigger gap and he didn’t even know how to begin to fix this sudden rift. He hadn’t even seen it appear or start to grow. He was blind, but he was realizing left and right he had been far too careless.

Aslatiel was furious when she spoke. Indigo’s red marked ears lowered to his skull as she questioned him, looking like she had gotten nearly as much sleep as he had. Had she been waiting up for him the whole time? He’d been with Duchess for less than a half hour and the rest of the night had been spent alone with his own thoughts as he tried to accept everything going on.

"I’m sorry, I meant to come back." He explained softly while he tried to arrange his words, he was numb. "I didn’t want to disturb you, I couldn’t sleep after..." He couldn’t accept Aslatiel’s anger and he struggled with what he’d learned. Again he struggled with telling her, she obviously had taken the most offense to Duchess, perhaps it was with good reason. He couldn’t forget the way she reacted to his question. He pressed his lips together as the thought swirled in his mind. A heavy sigh left his dark lips. "I’m going to be a dad."
