its the way you move

Venom led the little procession southward. Hattori at her shoulder, being attentive and alert as they finally took their trip together. It was no secret that she loved him, and in his own way Hattori loved her too. He was never good with his words and his love language was the undying devotion he offered her. Working tirelessly to see her and the Empire flourish. Sometimes these ambitions got in the way of the personal relationship beneath. The pair completed each other, covered the other’s weakness and fortified their strengths. That was only part of the reason she married him, though after the fact she had become more thankful for how great a father he had become for their children. No wolf was perfect, and he collided with Kuroki sometimes but both parties were to blame. He was a great role model to their little heirs, and a loyal partner to herself.

The further south they traveled the more green their surroundings turned. From a brilliant, if not wet fall, back to a lush green summer they were greeted with on the island. The swim was pleasant, though Anko with the supplies hadn’t thought as much. The dog was loyally following, but as they reached the resort she was swift to unpack and take a well deserved rest as her master relaxed.

After moving all day the sun was now settling over the abandoned island. Clouds held the brilliant colors as Venom led her husband down towards the beach. Similar to home, but so much more lush with the season’s change. The scenery was incredible but Venom only had eyes for Hattori. She always harbored an attraction to the handsome shinobi, especially now completely alone, leagues from home, with her only thoughts on him. She leaned into his shoulder as they walked over the sand, and leaned her head against his neck. Venom sighed softly, contentedly, as they strolled along, the soft surf lapping at her pale paws. This was what she needed, time alone together. Time to unwind and relax as the hardships of life waited for their return.
