i'll hold you tight in my arms

It was late in the night around the quiet lake. Little specks of golden glowing in the dark surrounded him and the water. This brought him peace, and sucked away his mere anxiety. It wasn't too long ago since him and his new mate, Six, had finished their spar and played in the mud together. Not only playing in the mud, but admitting their love for eachother. It was a lovely time. Covered in mud, but still showed love and no interest in the wet terrain. He loved it. They were adorable and without a doubt, destined for eachother. Now he sat alone, gazing among the beautiful sights of the small lake.

But perhaps he was a little bit lonely. He wanted to be beside his mate, her fur pressed against him and her head leaned onto his shoulder. She was his little queen. His love, that he will never leave in years. Maybe even forever, until he dies. But he just wanted to be near her. Despite the beauty of the numerous glowing bugs around him, he twisted his head around and allowed his eyes to skip over the dark terrain. The man could only see the lake with the moon's reflection swaying lightly to the soft waves, and the tall cattails and blades of tall grass lined up along the shore. He hoped Six would come to him. To come kiss him and sleep on his shoulder. But does she even know where he is? He was practically invisible through the tall grass around him. Aldoro sighed and lowered his head between his paws. He decided to ignore the glowing bugs around him.
