“I’m not,” Aurelius replied dazedly.
He still stroked Silver’s fur, but his motions were slow and tired.
“I’m not,” Aurelius replied dazedly.
He still stroked Silver’s fur, but his motions were slow and tired.
Silver sighed, relaxed under Aurelius movements.
Aurelius eventually stopped talking as he brushed his hand through the fur. His movements slowed, almost halting entirely as he had fallen into a shallow sleep.
Silver moved slightly to look back at the other, sighing he carefully got to his paws, moving slowly back to camp under the moonlight.
Aurelius drowsily opened his eyes once they were in the camp and Silver had stopped moving entirely.
“Huh…? Oh, we’re back already?”
Silver looked back, "Mmmhmm" he said, "Did'ja have a good nap?" he asked teasingly, slipping into an empty tent.
"Yeah, I'm more surprised I actually stayed asleep while being carried," Aurelius admitted.
His voice was a little hoarse, and he was still very groggy and slow-moving.
"You were tired," said Silver calmly, "It's understandable, plus you're even cuter now."
Aurelius laughed. "Yeah? I'm glad you think so…"
He yawned. He was so warm, a lot of blood had rushed to his face, tinging his cheeks and ears pink.
Silver shifted, resulting in Aurelius being curled up in Silver's arms bridal style. Silver smiled when he saw the other's face, "beautiful" he said.
Aurelius' eyes grew wide when he realized he was in Silver's arms.
"M-me…?"
"Well of course you" said Silver, "Want down?" He asked, adjusting his grip a little.
"Yes, please," said Aurelius, trying to get down.
He rubbed the back of his neck.
"What does this make us?" he asked softly.
Silver let him down carefully, "Hmm… that depends on what you want" he said, eyes searching his.
He laughed.
"Gods, I don't know… I definitely want to spend more time with you," Aurelius replied, "But I'm cautious, you know? I'm inexperienced at this point, and part of me fears it's just me being desperate for affection."
Silver smiled, "hey.. that's ok. I'm willing to wait." He said smiling warmly. He wanted to pull Aurelius into a hug, but he wasn't sure if he was ok with it.
"Yeah, I think it's best we take things slow for a while," Aurelius said, "but I think you're great, so…"
He was trying to read Silver's face. Was it really okay? They were standing closer than they usually had before everything that happened in the forest. Aurelius' body language was mostly relaxed and inviting compared to his usual tenseness.
Silver smiled at him, calm,, relaxed, "You're pretty amazing yourself." He said, debating on what the other would be ok with.
"Hey, quick question… How much of a cuddler are you?" Aurelius asked.
He thought he might be blushing as soon as he asked the question.
Silver couldn't help grinning at that, "Blizzaron wolves invented cuddling" he said, "do you need cuddles?"
"I like them," Aurelius replied, "I'm pretty cuddly, but I'm also touch-starved, so uh… do with that information what you will."
Silver smirked, stepping in to hug Aurelius firmly, pushing him down onto one of the empty cots so he could pull the other close. "Better?"
Aurelius smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, this is great."
He hugged back, very soft and sweet.
Silvef smiled, curling around the other. It reminded him of the hugs his dad used to give, causing him to tear up a little at the memory, pulling Aurelius closer.
Aurelius thought he was going to cry too. He hadn't been held like this since his parents died. He rested his ear against Silver's chest, listening for his heartbeat.
