Do It For Me. Do It For Us.

Indigo held her and Aslatiel held him in return, her delicate arms entwined his neck as she spoke to him softly, showing the faith she had in him while still reminding him of everything he had to lose if he failed again. She told him that she wasn’t the only one to need his strength, their future children would need both strong parents. He took in a deep breath and steeled himself. There was no real argument, he had plenty of time to get control of himself and his emotions. He allowed himself to feel the pain and grasped it like it was all that he had. Maybe it was all he had left of those precious bundles he had, and letting go of his sorrow was the final release of his hold on them. One that had already failed to keep hold.

"You say exactly what you need to, and no matter how hard it is, I need to hear it." He whispered back to her, nuzzling her cheek as he shifted slightly and pressed his muzzle against her. She moved and kissed his chin, pressing her lips to the thick fur under his chin. He rumbled pleasantly, letting himself be overwhelmed by her. Indigo breathed her scent in deeply, felt her warmth against him, and relished in the kisses she gave him. All of it worked to chase away all of the heavy emotions that gathered beneath his skin for so long.

"I’m here." He returned softly, his breath on her lips as she spoke. She pulled away slightly, enough that she could punch his shoulder to prove her point. "I’ll be here, forever on guard to protect my family." Aslatiel was his family now. This decision to become mates wouldn’t sit well with many, if any, of their kin. They would have to be strong for any children they raised. "You’re too important for me to fail again." He lamented softly. This was the second chance and it would not be squandered. Aslatiel meant everything to him, he couldn’t lose her again.
