Hold Me Like You Do

She felt him as he fell beside her, pulling her larger form into his belly as he wrapped his legs around her. Sniffling she raised her head and nuzzled it against him, humming as he lapped up her tears. He whispered her name softly and she felt her heart break all over again. Revenge was the only one who was ever here for her, who would always be lingering in the shadows around her. Mercy didn't have to worry about ever losing him, and for that she was ever thankful for. Sobs wracked her frame, causing the warrior to shake as her brother dearest held her close. "She's leaving, Revenge," she whispered, her voice sounding oh-so broken. Wiggling herself further into her brothers arms, a shuttering sigh blowing out of her maw. She was so lucky to have him in her life, and she had taken his constant love for granted. All that time that she had felt so alone, she needed to look no further than his gray dappled coat. Sniffling again her tears slowed, and she blinked her damp, purple eyes up at him. A hint of a smile warmed her features, Revenge seemed to soak up her sadness and just take it all away.

Shuffling slightly so that she could touch her nose to his cheek, Mercy placed a sweet kiss on her cheek. "I'm so lucky to have you, Revenge. I love you," she murmured, ears pulling back as she gently licked his cheek again. Through everything that had happened to her, he was always there. Rain or shine, Revenge was there for her to lean on. No matter what he found her, tracked her down and didn't let anything separate them. How could she have been so blind to not see that? She didn't need anyone else, she had him.
