He hadn’t truly grasped how similar they felt for each other until that moment. He knew she loved him just as she knew he loved her, but that she looked at him like a guiding light, a savior from darkness was truly warming. These were the exact words he would have used for her. That is, if he were to say such a thing outright… like she just had. It was a strange occurrence from the usually emotionally hidden woman. He looked down on her with loving eyes and a proud smile while continuing to comb his claws through her long tresses. His heart swelled with all the feeling he had for her in it. It made avoiding uncomfortable thoughts much easier.
Jaden propped himself up on one arm and tried not to disturb his companion too much. There he looked upon her with that warm expression. Thank you, was all he could manage in response. In truth, he had recently begun to believe she deserved better. Hearing her say how much she appreciated him nurtured the doubt he had in himself. He moved to hold her head in his lap, if she didn’t decide to rise on her own accord, so he could sit and still run his paws through her hair. He found her eyes with a happy but questioning gaze. What has put you in such a fine mood today?
Jaden does. Jaden speaks. Jaden thinks.
