Because Of You

He had no idea what love was, what these feelings were that she causing, the ones that seemed to have taken permanent residence within his chest. But he didn't care. They all came with Orica, so he would gladly accept them. But as the time between them lengthened, he could only feel those feelings growing in size, gaining strength with each passing day. Were he another wolf, he would've realized that perhaps he was falling in love with the tiny marbled healer, but a monster who knew nothing of love could not detect such developing feelings. He only knew that he liked her and that each day, or actually, each moment that passed only made him like her more. And he knew for a fact that these feelings would not go away. She had told him that she was going to stay with him from now on, which meant that he would have her with him every single day, at all hours of the day. She was going to stay with him to help him, to hopefully try and change the monster he'd made himself into. To maybe bring out the better side of him that had laid dormant in the shadows of its darker side. He had never been one to see things in a good light, but this little healer was beginning to open his eyes to many new things.

He didn't pull away to widen the gap between their muzzles again, but instead remained where he was, his nose still gently pressed against her muzzle, his cyan eyes intent on her face, trying to read her reaction. At first it seemed like his touch didn't affect her any, but then slowly, he could see a rosy tint peek out from beneath her pale cheeks. He had no idea what the color was, so it was natural for him to be confused about it, especially when she pulled away. Had she not liked it? He couldn't tell and he wasn't about to start asking her, not when her jaws were splitting apart in a yawn. She was tired. That much he could understand. And how could she not. She'd done so much this day, it was only right for her to take a rest. She deserved it. Only then did the gargantuan pull him muzzle away, watching as she lifted herself to where her forepaws were back under her, curling her body into the same fluff ball like she had that first night, leaning her shoulder against his belly, her tail acting like a pillow for her head. He could sense that their meeting was slowly coming to a close and he didn't like it. He didn't want to part from the little healer again, but all good things had to come to an end. But this wouldn't be the end. She told him she was going to stay with him, and she was going to stay true to her word, wasn't she?

Demyan stretched out a bit more, extending his forepaws out and around, curling his larger mass around Orica's smaller frame, allowing his massive head to come down and rest against his legs, ears gently tucking against his head. The storm was still raging outside their shelter, but he didn't care. It wasn't affecting them any; they were more than safe in their cavern shelter. Onyx tipped plume was thrown over her smaller frame, nearly hiding her from view. She had enough warmth between her own and his to be comfortable, but he still covered her with her tail, in case any rogue breezes decided to slink their way into the cavern. There was no use for anymore words; everything that needed to be said had been said. Now it was simply time to rest. Tomorrow, if the storm calmed, it would be a new day. Grey lids slowly slid down over his eyes, hiding them from the world as his mind drifted off, his breathing becoming steady. The leopard at the corner of the cavern was well into his sleep, his lengthy tail curled around himself to keep warm. And so the trio drifted off to sleep, the oddest bunch anyone would ever lay eyes on.
