Puzzle Piece

The quiet gasp that Avacyn made when he grabbed her made Saracyn's heart do a little skip in his chest, thumping faster in time to the beating of Ava's tail against the ground as it wagged with glee. He loved seeing his sister happy, loved knowing that he could bring his twin such bliss. He saw it in the way she grinned, the way her tail whipped back and forth, and the way she looked at him. He was just barely able to make out the happy glint in her obsidian eyes thanks to the gentle glow of their matching markings, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to see her at all. It was strangely intimate lying with her like this. They had spent almost every night of their youths cuddling at night in their shared bed as they grew up, but this felt different now. The whole tone of their relationship had shifted and things that had at one time been innocuous sibling matters now felt like they had a much deeper meaning to them. As they tangled themselves as closely as they could, Sara found himself calm and content just listening to Avacyn's steady breathing next to him. Her presence calmed him, soothed him, brought him peace that nothing else in the world could.

While Ava snuggled in closer and rested her head against his fluffy chest, she admitted that she couldn't sleep when she missed him. Sara's expression softened, his heart melting for his perfect twin. One large white-tipped paw slowly moved up her side to stroke soothingly over her cheek. "I'm always be right here for you," he murmured in reply, his voice gentle yet adamant with conviction. She didn't need to justify any reasons to come cuddle with him, though he did appreciate the confidence she had in him to trust him with this vulnerable side of herself. "I missed you too." The twins laid like that for a while in the stillness of the night, embracing one another as if there was nothing else in the entire world besides the other. To Sara, that was partially true. Avacyn was his sole focus, the only thing that existed in his world right now. It was just him and her. It was that simple.

Quiet murrs of delight rumbled in the adolescent dire's chest while his twin's tiger-like paws rubbed over his back, kneading into taut developing muscles with a tender affection that made his eyelids flutter. Gods, Ava knew exactly what he liked! Just as she did, he also wished they could be like this always, pressed as closely to one another as physically possible. He'd been emotionally bound to his sister since they were born, but now that they had a physical element to their relationship too, he found himself craving the closeness of her body, her paws touching him and her lips on his. He never wanted to separate from Avacyn—never. They fit together like pieces of a puzzle meant for one another. Neither wolf said anything for a long while, Sara listening to Ava breathe while they snuggled and she stroked over his back, her movements gradually slowing while she drifted off toward slumber. Sara smiled, stroking paw pads over Ava's cheek and head, petting her while gently ushering her off to sleep.

But that moment didn't come. To Saracyn's surprise, Ava instead snapped back to alertness, peering up at him through the darkness with this excited little smile on her lips while their gazes met. Sara didn't have long to wonder what was on her mind before Avacyn answered his question by bringing her lips to his, kissing him with a familiar tenderness that he loved. His eyes drifted closed, his heart quickened, pulse racing hot in his veins from the contact and he eagerly moved his muzzle back against hers, falling into harmony with his twin's motions. His foreleg around her side tightened as well, holding her close while his paw on the back of her head gently held their mouths together, cradling Avacyn in his embrace while he kissed her. That small whine she made sent a shiver rippling through his body, stirring things inside the adolescent he hadn't felt before. It made him want to kiss Ava all the more fiercely, wanting to feed that need she was communicating to him.

A low, rumbling growl-groan left the young wolf in reply, holding on to her while her paws roamed over his sides and chest, coming to loop around his neck while she pulled her body tighter to his until she was all but wrapped around him. That was when Sara felt and tasted Ava's tongue against his own for the first time. Saracyn gave a surprised murr that quickly melted into a pleased hum, letting his instincts be his guide while he made out with Avacyn. Neither one of them was experienced, but they didn't need to be. They'd learn everything together, and they'd learn what their partner liked along the way. In a way, that was actually an even better experience. Ava gave another soft whine and Sara responded immediately by sliding his paw on her side lower, looping his strong foreleg around her waist to fully pull her against him, every inch of their underbellies pressed together with Ava's legs practically around his waist with the way they were lying in his bed. Saracyn uttered another low growl-groan sound from deep in his throat while his tongue danced with Avacyn's, refusing to let her go or give any space between them, no matter how hot his body felt like it was burning. He would immolate himself before he allowed himself to separate from her.
