Become The Same

Arcturus never turned down a chance to spend time with Vanille regardless of what they ended up doing. He followed her without complaint over to the nearby firefly lake which had become a frequent spot for them for the times that they weren’t hunting except maybe for the occasional fishing trip. He still understood his mother’s logic for having them join up with Elysium for the winter and he was glad to spend some time with his family now that he was slowly beginning to pull himself out of the pit he had been living in, but he was kind of looking forward to being able to hang out with Vanille and not have to make her call for him at the borders every time and spend chunks of their time just traveling to wherever it was they were going.

When they got to the Firefly Lake it was already dark, but the sky was clear so every star in the sky was bright and visible. He looked to her and their eyes met for a moment before his blue hued friend laid down and rolled onto her back, her rose pink gaze turned up toward the sky. He was about to lay down as well without really thinking much about it, but as he came over to her side his sapphire gaze glimpsed her slender form and he quickly looked away with a bit of warmth coming to his cheeks while he laid down and rolled onto his back as well, trying to clear his mind as he looked up at the pretty night sky as well.

The conversation he had with his uncle recently made him rethink the way he felt when he was with Vanille and in some ways it made some stuff make way more sense but it also made him worry that maybe he’d accidentally go too far if Vanille didn’t feel the same. He had always thought that she was really cute, but he hadn’t really thought about what that meant or what it could lead to. He just liked being around her and he liked the little butterflies he felt when he looked at her. His front paws settled over his chest while he tried to brush off his thoughts and all the stuff Indigo had told him while very carefully making sure his gaze was on the stars and not wandering somewhere else.
