Romance is in the air...this is probably the most beautiful and scenic place in Blossom Forest. For the athletic and determined to come with their mates, for time away from pups. Only adults may come here; some of the ledges are too far apart for teens or pups to cross and some too high to scale.

Raylen is silent the moment he steps closer and I can feel his conflicting thoughts as if they're fighting right beside me. He's in turmoil over something, his eyes far off and thoughtful. I stay silent and patient, leaving him to his thoughts as I try to work out my own. I've never felt this close to another before, not unless you count Hunter and Phonix but that was different. They became my lovers and Raylen is not my lover. Like him, I am still too broken to give my heart away. Still too fragile to the touch. I can tell he is too and so maybe that's what keeps this relationship so steady. Neither of us expects something from the other that they're not ready to give. I'll give him my close friendship from here to my grave, but something more, well, that will just have to wait. The moment in which we stand so close that our furs mesh as one, that moment I would describe as the closest to perfect I've been in a long time. So of course it wouldn't last long. All too soon Raylen is pulling back, hunching his shoulders in misery and pulling back as if he can't stand to be close any longer. My heart falls into the deepest pits of my stomach, wondering if it's something I said or did. I feel his body give a little when I push my head into his chest but I'm too wrapped up in his scent to pull away. He seems to still be in turmoil as I speak to him and at one point, I see a flicker of bitterness in his gaze though I try not to dwell on it. I don't like seeing the darker parts in his face, I'd rather see the sweet Raylen I remember from joining Bright Moon. He watches me, staring into my eyes as if he'll never see me again and I can't help but feel my cheeks flush at the attention. Something flickers in his eyes when I tell him to stay with me and I can feel his body stiffen against my forehead. I clench my teeth, wondering if I shouldn't have said that, though it's the number one thing on my "want" list, to have Raylen stay with me. Perhaps it's too soon to be asking him for his time. Too soon to be making him promise anything. Then it's like a light going off behind his eyes. He sighs and something tells me more than breath is being let go in that one silent gesture. He holds still for a moment before finally nodding his head, a sense of freedom in his eyes. And yet there's a sense of discomfort to go along with it. I'm a little nervous of his silence and I shift my weight in response. I mull things over in my head, trying to think of something to say, anything to make the silence stop. And yet as long as I'm close to him, I don't mind the silence so much. As long as I can be near him, I wouldn't mind the silence forever. A deep sigh drips from my lips and I close my eyes briefly, letting the contentment of this moment take over. |
