Hold Me Like You Do

He'd feel her paw at his muzzle and he'd let her lead his features back to her own, her muzzle held a soft smile and it reassured him as she took back her words. He didn't even have to worry about it, and he'd put the thoughts from his mind, though he would likely revisit their conversation more often the older the pair of them got. His bright sunny eyes would find her royal purple stare and his pale ears would perk back up as she confessed her inability to navigate the emotion that was love. He couldn't deny her words, there were indeed many types and they were confusing to navigate. As he said, he wasn't even sure of his own emotions. He just knew that he would devote his life to Mercy with out a single blink of hesitation. She'd admit that she couldn't define the love she felt for him. Not that he needed it.

He'd push closer to her, feeling the comfort of her contact as she quieted. "I don't need a label to know that I love you. Or to know that you love me." The world that she was trying to jump into was vast, and they had their whole lives to explore it. He had no doubt that even a couple of years from now their love might even be completely different from how they felt today but that wouldn't change that it was still there. "I love you more than anything Mercy, and that's all I know." He'd eventually tell her, reaching out to nuzzle her lovingly.
