Here without you baby

As she had hoped, her kiss elicited a similar response from Glacier, prompting him to drift closer and return the fervor behind her actions. The sensation of it made her giddy all over again, to feel in this definite way that his feelings matched her own, that he cared for her in the same way that she cared for him. It was everything that she had been hoping for, just what she wanted, and yet it nearly overwhelmed her. Had she truly expected him to? Not entirely. Despite so many hints and guesses that he did feel the same, she had been too worried that he would not to believe that he did. But all those worries, all those doubts and fears, were finally put to rest, and it was all so much more than she had expected.

When he drew away a second time, it was only to draw her fully against him, and she went with it immediately. Anais tucked her head against his neck, turned her face into his fur, and let the feel of him surround her. She had missed this so much without fully realizing to what extent. How had she managed to be away from him for so long? Worse yet, how was she ever going to go back to her sister, her brothers, Lebrah, after this, and pledge herself to a pack where Glacier would not be there? It made her cling to him even more, and caused her eyes to mist with tears. Oh, she loved him so much, wanted never to leave his side again now that she knew he felt the same. But she had told Lior she would go with her, and Lebrah's comfort was still her responsibility no matter what. How was she ever going to make this work?

Her tucked ears flicked just slightly as she heard his deep, soft voice admitting to a want that had been within him for a very long time. "So have I," she whispered, though she was not at all sure at what point she had finally realized it. She had known for longer that she enjoyed being around him, that her feelings for him had grown, that she wanted any and every excuse she could think of to get closer to him and touch him, but everything had finally reached the breaking point today. Their feelings - mutual feelings, no less - were entirely out in the open, plain as day for each other to see and feel and know. And nothing was ever going to be the same again.

It was a bit staggering for Anais, realizing that her friendship with Glacier was likely never to feel the same again after all this, that whatever happened now was going to be foreign ground for her. It made her nervous, but elated. This was not going to be a journey she would take on her own, not at all. Glacier, who loved her as much as she loved him, was going to be there every step of the way. Still overcome by the extent of her feelings for him, with her eyes misty and her heart a jittery mess of love, excitement, anxiety, and anticipation, the little wolf sighed somewhat shakily and drew back only enough so that she could look up into his kind and gentle features. In then, she could see everything, all of the feelings he felt for her reflected off of his face, and she wondered if hers was as telling. A soft, half-timid lick was placed against the side of Glacier's muzzle, and though she hesitated for just a few seconds, her shyness rearing its head yet again though she was sure he already knew, she spoke softly in a whisper, "I love you."
