What if we slowly fell in love?

Mostly Hikaru had been overwhelmed with helping the rebuilding efforts, he had handy paws and leant them wherever they were needed by whoever might need them. The hardest part was the whenever they needed him, which had been a lot recently, but now he’d really left his mark of the Armada. The koi put his blood sweat and tears into the projects throughout the pack, and even if they had experienced disaster Kaiyo believed himself a better wolf for it.

He roused only when he heard Mortis call for him. ”Hmm,” Hika mumbled softly as he lifted himself from the cozy bed as if on autopilot as he yawned and zombied out the door. Of course, Mort’s grin always made him smile and kohl lined eyes beamed up at the winged heir, even if his expression was still sleepy. ”Yeah, what can I do? Sorry I slept in. I know I’ve still got a lot of work to get to..”
