After The Storm

He'd feel her at his side as he pieced together this puzzle that had been created in his mind. Growing up was difficult, and he wasn't sure he'd been prepared for the challenge of it. All the emotions that had been brought to the surface and the thoughts that went along with trying to decipher those feelings. He felt overwhelmed, he hadn't been ready to accept this challenge to get into adulthood he just wanted to go back to when they were kids, just brother and sister them against the world. Living here and getting older would never allow that though.

With his thoughts interrupted he'd smile as Mercy nibbled at his pale ear, her words worried and pleading as she whispered to him. He'd catch her foggy gaze, not missing the tears in her eyes. He hadn't realized his silence would cause such hurt within her. He'd lean into her form, letting her meld into his chest as he wrapped a foreleg around her shoulders and pulled her in close. She was worried he was shutting her out, but there was no way in hell he would ever wish to distance himself rom her side. No matter what happened. "Shh... shh.." He'd try to comfort her as he caught the panic in her voice, his muzzle offering little touches of comfort down her neck as he tried to reassure her.

She would push herself as close to him as he was trying to pull her, and even through her sad apology he could blame her for nothing. "Mercy you don't have any reason to be sorry. I love you, so much I can't even..." He couldn't even describe it properly as they'd discovered. "You are literally my whole world, and I don't know, I just don't want to lose you to anyone.. for any reason." He wondered if this was jealousy? Was that why it hurt so much to know that she has gone to another for those affections?
