Lets Tessellate

Instead of pushing her away or even just telling her to leave he did the exact oposite. Despite everything he actually moved toward her. She was stunned into still silence, watching while she sniffled softly and blinked away her tears, her blood shot silver gaze wide with shock. He scooted closer and pressed his skull into her chest, curling around her and ending up with his head resting across her forelegs. Then he whispered the three words she had convinced herself she would never hear from him again. I love you... She could have sworn that her heart stopped dead in her chest. Her breath got caught in her lungs and she stared at him in disbelief, watching as he suddenly drifted to sleep, clearly so terribly exhausted from it all.

All at once the emotions crashed over her again and she melted into him like ice on a hot day. Tears began to run down her cheeks again, but this time it was tears of desperate, tired relief. Her crying was half sobs and half laughter, too delirious in her own exhaustion to know what to make of herself. She burried her face into the thick fur of his scruff, breathing him in and letting her eyes close as she soaked him in. His warmth, his scent, everything. At least for a few moments longer she still had him and she was going to savor every moment. Who knew what he was going to say when he woke up again. She sighed heavily, relaxing into his form and quickly sinking into sleep herself.
