what if the storm ends

Indigo hurt, everything just hurt so bad. He didn’t know what to do, the future seemed so bleak. He had a future, he knew he did. He’d built up a family around him and Duchess… He hated that she went against him but when he felt like everything was lost he was able to imagine the tiny puppies they were going to welcome into the world. His love for them was overshadowed by the grief that overwhelmed him. Segin was here though, if anyone could help him, to keep him afloat, it was Segin. His liferaft. He clung to him like his life depended on keeping Segin close. Understanding could be heard in the mottled man’s words, he knew what Indigo was fighting back because he had suffered through it too. Segin was a different wolf to the near dead man he’d found in the storm. Now Segin was returning the favor, reminding Indigo there was sunshine after the storm.

He lifted his features as Segin cupped his cheeks, and he savored the sweet affection as the man chased his troubles away. He poured his love onto Indigo, withholding nothing as he tried to revive the broken man. Indigo tried not to think, tried not to allow his mind any room but Segin, who was so sweet and so loving. The scent of him, the uninhibited affection he gave him, and his soft words. Were he able to, Segin would take all of his pain. Sapphire met silver eyes as his attention was brought to kind, understanding features. Segin was gentle with him, reminding him softly just how much he was needed. By the band and by Segin personally.

”I need you.” He confessed sorrowfully in return, those words were never truer as he struggled with his very existence. If he didn’t have Segin, if he didn’t have Gypsy, or Emersyn, what would he be doing right now? This would have been the beginning of the end. Aslatiel hated him, how did he live with that? ”How did you go on? How do I do it?” He whispered softly, tears beginning to stream down his eyes once more. He felt broken and lost and his only refuge was the sweet man in his arms.
