His mind wanders to the future, of children and laughter and a family; a thought that had only been a figment of his imagination for so long. It had been stripped from him and now, utterly unplanned, he has been given the responsibility, duty, and sense of belonging that he accepts whole-heartedly, and thankfully. He would protect them, protect her, more than he had ever done – he would not lose this family - not now, not ever. A certain seriousness hardens the angles of his face for a moment, his brilliant blue eyes electric and sparkling as he silently vows that he will never be torn from their presence like he had been in his past, he will never be absent and always protecting.
She allows him the time to digest their new future together, the quietness that grows between them one of patience and understanding, a comfort as he sorts through his thoughts. His heart is elated, knowing that he would never have to fear that Tang’s prolonged absences from him could become permanent – her soul now intertwines with his own, now physically as well as emotionally, and their story now weaves a new chapter together. She presses into his embrace happily, his heart thrumming joyously in his chest at the sense of pride and comfort she brings him, closing his eyes momentarily to soak in all that has happened and how after all this time, they still have found each other; a bond unbreakable.
Her voice, bright and gentle in the stillness of the warm air around them, chimes excitedly as she steps out from beneath his strong embrace, and though his eyes glimmer affectionately as they open, he wishes to be surrounding her once more, a compassionate hold that does not so easily loosen. But she is noticing his wings, her honey-gold eyes roving over his new features like he had just done with her. He allows her enamored stares, grinning bashfully as he extends them a little bit more as if showing off, stretching them just enough so that she could tell that the wingspan itself is extremely large and almost frightening (to him, anyways, who still is uncomfortable with the power that is harnessed at his sides). His own eyes leave hers to look at his own appendages, curiously watching as the thin bones bend and move with just a mere thought.
She brings herself back to him and he immediately sighs contentedly, and he chuckles gently as she draws beneath one of his great wings, curling beneath its shade happily. For the first time since the wings have been present, he is happy to have them. He wants her to always feel safe and secure with him, and now there was a way to physically do that. “Thank you,” he says, his deep voice soft and meant only for her as he nuzzles his nose into her cheek, kissing her gently. “And neither will you,” he says jokingly, his sweet kiss turning into a playful nudge against her, simultaneously bringing her closer to him with a tightening of his wing around her. “I’m not sure why I’ve been given them, but I’m not one to question such magic.”
He pauses and brings his cobalt lips away from her skin so that he may look into the gentle gold of her eyes. “Have you named them?” He asks her this genuinely, wondering if he could put names to the small children he already pictures in his mind.
