All Your Perfect Imperfections

The boy remained that way for a long moment, collapsed in a heap like some ridiculous pup. But he couldn't keep the tears from coming. His life was such a mess. Here he had gotten a mate and he couldn't even keep her. The amber eyes, once warm and loving, were cut off from the world as Dayton held his paws over his head. Sobs beat against his body for a few seconds until he was finally able to calm down. Then he felt Misha nudging at him, her warm nose poking at the lump of fur that was Dayton.

The boy pulled his paws slowly away from his eyes, miserably revealing two streaks of tears. The fur beneath his eyes was matted and ruined, and he let out a trembling sigh as she asked for him to stop. "You're right. I'm sorry. I haven't cried since my sister passed away, I don't know why I even..." he sighed again. He hadn't expected that last sentence to find its way into his mouth. But it was true. He hadn't allowed himself to break down for almost a year now, even with all of the terrible things that were happening to him. Of course he was fragile. Tears were bound to flow sometime.

"I'm sorry Misha. You deserve so much better. I can't do anything to comfort you when I'm such a wreck on my own." Trying to lighten the mood, Dayton chuckled a bit and shoved his small body into a sitting position. He leaned forward tentatively and cuddled against the girl, his narrow muzzle pressing into the downy fur of her neck. He breathed shakily against her and moved, trailing kisses along her cheek. By the time he pulled away, his eyes were dry and his soul was locked tightly again. "I'll try to always be strong for you, my love. I promise I'll try. Just promise to give me a smile now and then."

He gave his beautiful mate a tender nudge, winking at her as the last words left his mouth. "How is your head?"

Walk.
"Talk."
Think.
