WC:411+ - OOC Sounds good to me, Points - 3. END
Making himself more than comfortable on the new bed, Malakai felt a little more at ease without the heavy scent of blood lingering on the air. The mess would probably remain in the apartment until someone decided to clean it up, but Kai couldn't care less. As long as Axelle was alright, he didn't care about the bloody apartment. As he glanced down to the female as she snuggled into his body, a smile drifted over his muzzle and his arms slid around her, pulling her just that little closer against his form, keeping her safe, protectively. As he watched her eyelids close and the rhythm of her breathing to slow, the tell tale sign that she was asleep, Kai took in her features, and noticed how much they had different from the terrified, frightened, skittish female he had seen attacked. Thinking about the scene that had awaited him, seeing that male on top of her, gave him shivers and he knew right then and there that he had to protect her, at any cost. Because he knew he couldn't stand to lose her from his life now.
As he watched her sleep, the realization of exactly how much of an impact she had had on him in such a short space of time amazed him. She had this ability that no-one else did - one word, one touch, even one huff of her breath was enough to calm him when he felt rage or terror, but at the same time, it was enough to stoke the fire in him that burned for her. She had such power over him, and it wasn't something he was used to, and it was something he had always faught against, allowing someone that close. But now that it had snuck its way into his life, it wasn't as bad as he had imagined.
Letting his hand drift up and down her arm calmly, he sat in his own world, simply watching her. He had heard it said somewhere that the true sign of love was being able to simply watch someone sleep for hours, fascinated in the smallest of movements, the barest flicker of an eye, the smallest twitch of a mouth. Kai continued to watch Axelle in his arms for the duration of the night, and as the sun rose the next morning, she remained curled up in his arms, Kai's eyes finally closed to allow sleep to claim him as it had claimed her.
