Worry spread through Hotaru, creeping into her bones and flesh. For the longest time Light refused to speak, his silence crushing them both. What could be so horrible that it made the soft male feel this way? What could burden his mind so? Light was such a gentle and caring male. His strength and kindness was evident from the first day they met. If there was anything Hotaru could do to ease his pain, she was more than willing.

Lights large fingers engulfed her smaller hand, and finally, he spoke. His first words made Hotaru's heard flutter and a smile twitched at the tips of her lips. A mate. Such thing she had believed to be beyond her. Hotaru never thought of herself as a burden, even after her eyes failed. But the blind woman realized that many would see her as one, so a mate was something she could only dream about. Light's next words seemed to confirm her suspicions. The male thought of her as a burden; a creature to be pitied, not loved. Her red tipped ears sagged a little, and her eyes closed ready to take the verbal equivalent of a punch.

Once again, Light surprised her. His words were not about her, but about himself. Hotaru listened, her ears facing the male. After Light finished speaking, Hotaru sat back and crossed her arms. She had her left elbow supported by her right arm, with her light grey fingers touching her the tip of her mouth lightly. Hotaru sat deep in thought for several moments, taking in the meaning of Light's words. So Light couldn't love women. No, Light loved other males. But, who is to say that he couldn't love a female? After all, just because he had failed in the past doesn't mean he might not succeed in the future. Or at least with Hotaru. But would the heartache be worth it if their relationship soured? Could she love... no, continue to love a male who might not love her back?

The more Hotaru thought, the deeper she inclined her head until it was nearly resting on her breast. With a deep sigh Hotaru lowered her paws and lifted her head. Her decision was made, although she realized she would come to regret it in time. But an artist must live by the heart or else give up their profession. "Light... if our relationship is to continue you must stop thinking of yourself as afflicted. I have met males like you before, males who find comfort in the arms of another male. This is not unusual. However, just because you could not find a female who stirred you the way males do, does not mean that you like only males. There are many in this world who love both, taking comfort in the pleasures of both genders." Hotaru smiled and placed her hand back on his arm.

"Let us see if you can find the right kind of joy from my company. If not...well...you can't blame a girl for trying." By that time Hotaru's sly smile turned into an all out grin. The challenge was ensued and there was no turning back. Her heart was stuck and she prayed that it would stay that way.
