were all just scars in the making

Vesper realized how stupid she sounded moments after the words had fled from her slender jaws. Blind probably didn’t even know what she was talking about, or otherwise this statement would scare her away if nothing else did. Ves herself didn’t even know why she’d said what she’d said, other than the overwhelming urge to apologize spurned on by the fear of becoming something she hated… It was an irrational fear, but staring into the mismatched eyes of the dark auburn girl, there was no room for rationality in her mind.
She almost held her breath as Blind looked off into space, and her heart pounded in her ears when she finally turned. Her quiet statement drew a smirk to the hybrid’s lips, one a bit too wobbly to convey the amusement she hoped it did. And the smirk only faded into something softer when the she-wolf padded closer to her, licking her ripped ear.
Closing her eyes, Vesper leaned her cheek against the other female’s in that moment. The whispered words made her draw back. “I’m far from perfect,” she murmured, though it wasn’t an argument so much as a fact. “There’s still a lot that you don’t know…” But now was not the time to spill all her wishes, her secrets, her fears, her sins.
With a quiet whimper, she brought her pale cheek back to the other’s dark one, nuzzling into her neck before offering the full dark ear a lick of her own. She didn’t even know what she was doing anymore—other than giving in to the simplest of her urges, the desire to be close to this girl and show her what affection she could. Though limited in her current shape, unable to give an embrace or trace the lines of the other’s body with her fingers, her expression conveyed what her body could not.
