Because Of You

Beautiful in every sense of the word. Mind, body and soul. Beautiful. He never thought he would be able to call another living creature beautiful but that's what Orica was. It would be completely unfair to her to think of her as otherwise. Even her mannerisms, the simple tilt of her head like she was doing now made the word beautiful flash again and again in his mind, almost like a neon sign. She screamed beauty to him; would he have ever known what beauty was if he had never met her? Most likely not. You mean - back when we first met? Well because you saved my life. He nodded gently, lowering his head just a tad more, leaving only inches between his nose and her muzzle, his now gentle gaze settled on her marbled features. Her answer was simple enough. Well because you saved my life. It had to be more complicated than that. She couldn't have not ratted him out to her family just because he'd saved her life. There had to be more.
And for another thing. I thought... I thought that was probably the last time I'd ever see you. He didn't understand the pang of sadness that coated her words, but then again, maybe he did. Because he too, or at least a part of him, had feared that he would never again be graced with the honor of seeing her beautiful little marbled self ever again. His jaws slackened, about to tell her that he had also been afraid that it would be the last time they would ever see each other when she piqued up again. And back then I thought it was going to be easier. I thought- after what you did- I thought maybe you would come out a better person... A bittersweet smirk tugged at the corner of his pale lips, his eyes clouding with mixed emotions. She truly was even more innocent than he'd given her credit for. Or at least, she used to be. I get it though now, I do. You're different around me. At least now it was out in the open between them. You've let me help you before - even though you bawled like a baby- He narrowed his eyes at her, closing the gap between their muzzles as he gently bumped hers with his nose, something close to a growl, though lacking very much in strength, rumbled in his massive chest. He didn't pull back as she continued, wondering if she would react to his touch and if she did what kind of reaction would it be. And since you'll let me, I don't intend to give up on you now. He met her gaze with his own unwavering cyan one. You really are something else.
