She is the sunshine
It all happened so suddenly a strange mechanical clicking noise and then her weight was being thrown forwards, she realized that the male had flung himself at her pushing her out of the way, of what though? A second later she knew, a roaring noise filled the air and everything became hot. She screwed her eyes shut and dropped the bullet, forgetting about it in the confusion. There was a fire blazing somewhere behind them and she realized the male was shielding her from the worst of it. They stumbled together, tumbling over each other for a moment before coming to rest behind a rock. A small whimper escaped her as he pushed her down shielding her from the flying debris. Her ear were ringing, her tail felt a bit singed and she was more than a little shaken up. Panting heavily she forced herself to lift up, popping up from behind the rock she looked back the way they had come, a small blaze still going. The ringing had started to die down just as the boy spoke. She turned to look at him wide eyed, but her tongue felt too heavy, too big, she managed a shaky nod however before turning her attention back towards the flames. He had saved her; that much she knew for certain. He had known what was coming and rather than leaving to save himself he had risked his own safety to insure hers. Finally the words seemed to return to her, still panting she turned to him again dual colored orbs brimming with admiration and thanks. "Thank- Thank you." She stumbled over her words. Without thinking she pressed up against him, just wanting to feel comforted. |
