She pressed her nose into his neck and he stilled, surprised by the touch. Her nostrils flare against his skin and before she steps back he drags his lips across her shoulder, taking in her scent. Her touch is just as soothing to him as he is to her. He hasn’t been touched by anyone in so long that he wants to wallow in the touches she graces him with. He has forgotten the soft touch of another, and how much it makes you ache for more.
He can’t speak for a moment afterwards, the ache stuck in his throat, but he nods acknowledging that she hadn’t been physically hurt. “Good.” His witty repertoire failing momentarily.
“Oh no beautiful, I didn’t tell you my story for you to feel sorry for me. I just wanted to let you know, why you. Because absolutely no fucking one deserves to be broken for others selfish wants.” His wings flaring just slightly before he tucks them back tightly against his sides, the flash of anger there in his eyes again before he settles. “Sorry, I find I’m more passionate about it than in my youth. The more I think about it, the more…” He shakes his head. “Sometimes I think it’s better when others take you in and make you family, give you that love you need that’s hopefully healthier than what you might have gotten.”
She frowns, voice trailing off but he keeps his eyes on her own hazel ones. He is quiet for a few seconds as he contemplates her question. Then he sighs. “Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t believe it’s about loyalty though. I think it’s about selflessness and being strong enough to let someone else love you and loving them in return. I think there’s probably a lot of failed attempts before finding that one that wants you by their side no matter what.” He blinks, looking away from her briefly, but just briefly before he stretches his nose out to touch her gently. “I think that it’s not your fault, whatever the reason.”
He just acts, slipping closer to her, pressing his chest against her own in a hug and wrapping his wings around her protectively. “Don’t worry beautiful, I got you.” He says softly.
