I know that you feel me somehow - 
you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be

The weather had changed once again, somehow I had managed to remain tucked away in the peaceful quietness of the Rotunda for a couple seasons without drawing too much attention to myself. Aaron's visits had grown less and less frequent and for a little while I held out hope that he would soon return and ask me once again to return home with him, but as the days ticked by that hope slowly faded and I wondered if he had met someone who fit him a little better. Someone soft, pretty, polite, and just the general epitome of what a lady should be rather than who I was. Sun kissed harks flicked back against tangle blonde tresses as a sigh escaped from between slightly parted rosy velvets.
A gentle fall breeze picked and pulled on the ends of uneven strands, urging me forward from the multi-hued shadow in which I had been standing the last hour or so. My silence was interrupted only by the sound of hooves hitting against the cobble stoned floor, the padding of canine paws alongside the equine was so quiet I almost wouldn't have heard it if it weren't for the loose stone that skidded across the ground making my white washed skull turn in the direction they were coming from. 
Oxygen caught in my throat, forcing my thick white lashes up as my eyes widened. It was almost as if I had thought the handsome paint into existence. I shrunk back into the shadows, collecting myself momentarily, holding back the school-girl crush and all of the excitement of seeing Aaron in the flesh once again. The dangerous duo hadn't quite made  it into the Rotunda itself, stopping just short of the curtained wonderland to take a long drag from the creek that ran restlessly through the area. Sucking in a deep breath I gathered the nerves into a bundle, tucking them away somewhere they wouldn't affect real life too badly. White painted limbs stretched forwards, pulling my stained frame away from the shadows and into the chilly Orangemoon air, each step sending me sinking into a pile of leaves that had built up slowly against the cracking walls of the building. "I've missed you." Words broke free, crashing into the silence, shattering it for good once my steps ceased carrying me forward. A safe distance from the stallion and his bonded, just in case things had changed between us and I was no longer desired company.

I know that you feel me somehow -

It seemed as if the world came to a stand still when the words fell so effortlessly from my vocal chords. Every word was true, filled with more emotion than I would like to admit feeling towards anyone, but they were there now, hanging carefully in the cool air for a moment before dancing forward into the stallion's forward pricked ears. Surprise and happiness (I think?) filled his warm, brown eyes as they fell upon my scarred and painted frame, as if he was taking in the fact that I was actually standing before him and not some kind of mirage. The ghost of a smile pulled at the corners of my rosy lips, before I could even think straight to stammer out another string of words, explain why I had decided to hide out again, Aaron was moving in. Crossing the creek with a splash, causing the feathers that hung freely at his hocks to cling like a small child, his broad chest met mine and suddenly all of the fear I had in seeing him again was gone. 
A smile tore at my white washed features while my neck twisted ever so slightly, just enough that delicate nares would be enveloped in his heavy cologne. "I've missed you too Chev. I love you. Please come home with me." Everything I had been wanting to hear was there in one jumbled up mess, the rate at which he spoke was almost as if he was afraid he would forget. Or that I would go away again. I love you. I love you my mind couldn't help but repeat those three words over and over again, soaking in the happiness that was seeping from every pore possible at the fact that this stallion embracing me not only wanted me to go home with him. But he loved me.
Nothing else mattered any longer, not the fact that I really did not want to join a herd. I would follow this boy to the end of the world if it meant getting to spend more time with someone who cared for me as deeply as I cared for him. Pressing against his chest in efforts to close the space a little more as my vocal chords began to shift once again, this time heavy with a much lighter emotion than the first sentence. "I love you too Aaron." Words rolled effortlessly off of my tongue as I shifted just enough that my gaze was towards the canine, who didn't look pleased, swallowing hard I moved away from the stallion I had just confessed feelings for and glanced between the unhappy canine and him.
"Is something wrong...?"

The stillness in the air around us as the words fell from rosy kissers caused the sunkissed hairs along my spine to stand on end. Had something happened that would damage our relationship beyond repair? Already? So quickly would the bud of this beauty be crushed beneath Fate's cruel grasp? Golden harks fell back against my skull in worry as orchid pools shifted uneasily between the lupine and her bonded as if the maroon marked canine was going to offer up any kind of answer that the painted stud wouldn't. Throat muscles twitched as I swallowed the hard lump that had formed before forcing my gaze back to the stallion's warm brown eyes that I had so easily fallen in love with.

Although it felt as if I couldn't breathe for a much longer amount of time than what had truly passed, I waited with baited breath for the stallion's reply to what could possibly be so wrong as to leave Alanna looking peeved during a happy moment. Did his bonded not approve of the emotions that moved between us? Or was something else causing the sour expression to cross her lovely features? "There is something I need to tell you. I do hope you can understand... And I hope you will still feel the same way about me that you do right now." I could feel my invisible brow furrow, causing the white washed flesh between my eyes to wrinkle with worry as ivory dipped limbs took an involuntary step closer to his brown splashed chest where I so desperately wanted to press against again but held back so I could hear his story properly. "While we were apart... While I could not find you, something happened. I was out on patrol, a personal one. Not to mention the run helped to make me stronger... When I ran into someone."

So, he had met someone.

Harks shifted forward as every fiber in my being screamed at me to turn and run away from the heartbreak that was sure to happen. But I didn't. I stood fast and waited to see if the heartbreaker had more to say, more words that would stab through the tender muscles that surrounded the complex organ that pulsed the life through my veins. "I ran into another mare. One that I did not know, and even now barely know. She lured me in, teased me.. I don't even understand how. It was like some kind of restraint inside me was broken by her... One that I greatly wish had not been." Ivory lids closed tight over orchid pools as I stumbled forward into the stallion by instinct, only wanting to be held as I felt panic over the fact that the one I had given my heart to had only half a heart to give in return. "I have a son, called Brendan. The other mare, is his mother..." My throat closed up as I thought of another mare having a child of Aaron's, but at the same time I couldn't entirely blame him for his actions. If he were to leave me for a long period of time without so much as a "good bye" I would probably go looking for affection from others as well. Pressing my white washed cheek into his muscular shoulder I sighed hard enough that my shoulders clearly lifted and fell as the emotions escaped from my body.

"Do you love this other mare as you say you do me...?" I couldn't stand the idea of him loving someone else, I wouldn't be able to remain here with him if that were the case. Sharing him with a child of his own was one thing, but sharing his heart and soul with another mare would be nearly suicide. Swallowing hard I shoved the hurt back, realizing that I could easily be overreacting, I stepped back slightly to press soft rosy velvets against his dark cheek in hopes it would quell any of the nerves that were racing through his own frame. Even with the announcement I couldn't see myself standing here with anyone else. As long as his heart belonged to me, and me alone, I would remain by his side and love the child as if he had dropped at my own hooves.

My words struck him like lightning struck the tallest tree in the forest, surprise and shock forced his handsome brown eyes to grow wide as he stumbled away from my touch. Once again he makes my world stand still, worry forming deep within my gut as I wonder if the man I love truly loved another. A lapse of judgement could be forgiven, a bastard child could still be loved, but a shared heart was not something I was even willing to think about being a part of. Would our fairytale end before it ever began? At least Aaron had stayed, he had waited for me, nursed my fragile mind back into reality when the shadows had grown too dark for me to be able to see straight. Unlike Note who had just left, or Kaj who didn't seem to understand my need for solitude.

Aaron just, got it. "No. I have no feelings for her, other than for her safety for the sake of our son. My heart is and I think has always been your's since the first time we met." A smile tugged at both corners of my rosy kissers as the world began to spin once again, the gentle bird songs dancing through the air as his words settled happily upon my eardrums. The paint before me was a good stallion, a kind heart regardless of how many times it had been shattered at fate's pleasure. Every nerve ending in my body screamed to step forward and embrace my future once again, but he had moved away from me and I didn't want to intrude on any personal thoughts or space by bringing myself back to him. "You are an admirable man, Aaron." I smiled again, tucking my chin in close to my red gold chest, looking up at the stallion I loved through thick ivory lashes before speaking once more. "Do you remember the first time we met?" My mind flashed back to that time in the caverns, the first time I had met the handsome paint and his dear friend the golden Kaj. Little did I know that I would grow quite close to the both of them at some point in different ways.

"Come home with me Cheveyo. Come home, my love." As he spoke he moved forward to embrace me once again and the stony expression that had taken over the lupine's beautiful features fell away to the happy, relaxed one that I had grown used to. Leaning ever so slightly into his chest I sighed, thoughts of this bastard child flicking through my mind before I could open my mouth to give the excited "yes" he was expecting my mind took over and rather a condition slipped forward. "I want to meet your son, Aaron." It wouldn't feel right going and starting a family with this handsome stallion if I didn't get a chance to know the family he already had.
