Sorry for having taken so long. Between school and my own distraction, it's been hard to get creative again.

I hummed in acknowledgement when Brokentear told me about Alyssa and Lilith, and giggled at the remembered panic he displayed. I felt happy for him, for the remembered moment when his own daughter came into this world, but something deep inside me - somewhere dark and forgotten -hurt for both of us. I pushed the feeling down and ignored it, and turned another blinding smile to him.
"I'm glad they both made it okay," I hummed, turning to look out to the forest again. My eyes felt suspiciously wet and I blinked the moisture away, turning a keen eye to the sunlight. The forest was getting darker, but still light enough to see, and I could still see the mansion clearly just ahead of us. Slightly surprised, I surmised we had unwittingly walked into a circle and chuckled silently. I looked back at Brokentear and was bowled over by an idea.
"Ne, Brokentear, lets play hide and seek. It's dark enough to create extra hiding spots, but still light enough that we could still find each other," I proposed, grinning madly at him. Brokentear looked hesitant about it, eyes roaming between me and the forest, and I took a guess that he thought I would run for it. But I had no reason to. I doubted I would ever run from him and his mansion and the others.
"You can hide first. But I warn you, I'll win every time," I told him, smiling mock graciously, and smothered giggles at his little glare. I had dangled the bait, and even silently reassured him I wouldn't run. Now, would he take the bait, I wondered.

"I want to savor every moment with you." Forever told me, and my heart was both warmed and wrenched sharply by his words. It had been a long long time since I had felt this happy about something concerning my predicament. The emotional balance in Forever was awe-inspiring, and I felt the need to reward him for his silent achievement.
Leaning forward, I pressed a gently but long kiss against his lips and nibbled lightly on the bottom one before leaning back with what I could feel was a goofy grin. "It's been a long time since I've heard someone say that. You can't imagine how happy I feel, even about something like this," I told him, carding my fingers through his hair slowly, making sure to trace the back of his wolf ears teasingly.
Forever smiled beautifully and snuggled into my chest again, big eyes looking adorably up at me, and I brushed my fingers along his cheek to distract from the sheer cuteness. "I will always remember this. I won't let a single moment with you fade to black in my mind," I murmured, promising him this with everything that I am coloring the words.
When Forever blushed adorably again, eyes still roving over my face, I decided to do what he was doing and savor him. I brushed my fingers through his hair, over his cheeks, along his hidden forehead, over his nose and eyes. I traced along his mask and stopped briefly over his hidden lips and then moved on to his neck, ending at his shoulders before reaching up and doing it again. The feel of him under my fingers was a good sensation.
