Sneaking Out Past Curfew

Plague filed the information about his name away for later, giving her a grin at the information about how the blue and white man had a distaste for his last name. "So only greet him as Mr. Rhydderech, understood," he said with a chuckle, mostly joking and teasing. He did kind of like having a little, innocent thing to bother the man that was trying to sweep his sister off of her feet though. Then she leaned into him again with a sigh and he smiled softly and with sympathy as Venom not only admitted how strongly she felt about the man, but also her fear over these strong feelings she had for this brute that very obviously had come to have a very special place in her heart. Again he wondered how much time they had secretly spent together, but at the same time he also realized that he and Void hadn't seen each other more than a few times before his own feelings for his husband had begun to show themselves. Sometimes it didn't necessarily need time, it just needed compatibility.

"I know," he murmured gently, dipping his head to nuzzle the top of hers, slipping his foreleg around her again to give her a squeeze. "I felt the same way when I started to develop feelings for Void." Granted, they had very different reasons to be afraid of how they felt about someone. His had all been centered in his old belief that he had failed their family by not falling in love or marrying a woman that could guarantee them the children that were so central to their family while hers stemmed from the trauma and loss her ex husband had caused and her understandable fear that she would be hurt again. "Just think... Did you ever really feel this way about Hattori? Did Hattori do things just because he knew it would make you smile?" he had a feeling that the answer to both of those questions was going to be no. He had only seen Maverick once so far and already he witness more affection from the man than he had seen from Hattori their entire marriage. He gave her another squeeze and added, "Don't let fear hold you back. Do what is going to make you happy. I know that none of it is easy or simple, but you deserve love and affection. You deserve happiness." He lifted his head and peered down at her with a smile. "You know I'll always have your back and I'll be just a call away if you need me to make him into a very pretty rug."
