Douse This Fire

When their lips parted and his eyes flickered open to find hers again he still wasn't any less dumbfounded. He knew he probably always looked like such a goof with her, which to an extent he kind of was anyway, but those emerald eyes just had a habit of wiping his mind blank and making him forget every coherent thought. He just wanted to stare into those eyes he loved so much and hold this woman that stunned him every time they were together. He was so happy that she wasn't trying to keep away from him any longer. Having her like this, holding her, letting her confide in him... It putted something out of him that he had never felt before. She made him so happy just by being here - though the kisses were a big bonus too.

Ezra gave a little shake of his head and smiled when she insisted that he was too good to her and that she didn't deserve him, even as he purred softly while her pale paws moved over his chest and played with the fur there. "I'm just giving you exactly what you deserve," he whispered back, gazing down at her affectionately. "You deserve to be heard and cared for and loved. I can't promise I'll be the best at giving you those things, but... I'd like to try. I like making you happy and comforting you. Seeing you smile makes me smile." He squeezed her gently in his arms and then started slowly rubbing her back, feeling her vibrant fur slipping between his claws and over his paw pads.
