Xeno stepped out from behind a moss encrusted tree and laughed under his breath whilst slowly walking towards Pluto. "Can't keep up? Is that the problem?" He asked with a smirk across his face. He noticed the damp look of sweat in Pluto's hair and smiled, knowing that she was finding it difficult to follow him. "We'll take it slow. It took effort to get to where I am, but I think you'd prefer to work your way up in a more..sophisticated..manor." Xeno said quietly, making it obvious that speaking of his past upset him. It had been hard to get to where he was. Running for his life from dangerous animals that could've killed him within five seconds, finding food and taking time to eat it within the territory of a dangerous predator as a young foal. He began to flash back to vivid memories, some good and some bad, of him on his own. No parents to guide him, just a kind-hearted hybrid who took him under their wing before getting eaten alive by vultures after breaking their legs after falling from a cliff. That's when he ran. He ran to Helovia. And the rest is history. Xeno flashed back to reality and realised that he was still standing with Pluto. He shivered and smiled, attempting to make it seem like he wasn't hurt inside even though he was. He began to slowly walk into a trot, gesturing for Pluto to follow him before the sun set so they could settle down for the evening somewhere safe. Safe and sound.
As he walked, Xeno turned, changing his mind. "You know, it doesn't matter. This place seems pretty cosy. Let's just kick back here, is that okay?" He suggested whilst kicking the pine needles from under his feet. He managed to clear the ground of pine needles and fill it with some moss and leaves to make it comfy. He settled down and realised it was actually quite soft and comfortable. "It's pretty good actually - almost like a bed. I'm used to improvising like this; the life of a rogue. You gonna settle down?" Xeno asked politely whilst gesturing to the other pile of moss and leaves. "Well?"

Xeno looked into Pluto's eyes, completely mesmerised by her wide-eyed gaze. Yes, he had felt love. He had been in love. With her. This whole time. But, should he admit it? Or would it be too embarrassing.. He awoke from his hypnotised stare which penetrated her eyes. "Yes, I've been in love. Infact, I am in love.." He hoped she'd pick up the hint. "Look, do you want the truth?" They stared for a few seconds before Xeno sighed and stood up. He slowly walked over to a tree, hoping that Pluto would follow him. I need to tell her about my past. I need to tell her how I feel; how much I want her. Need her, even. I need someone right now. And she's perfect."Have you ever met someone and, although you've not known them long, it feels like an eternity because you're minds function so similarly that it creates an automatic friendship? That's what's happening now. And it's happening to me, and it's happening to you. I've only ever known one three horses in my lifetime: my mom and dad, whom I can't even remember, and a hybrid called Axel. But they're all long gone now. I love you, mainly because all of those I've known in the past, I've loved. But you're different. You're beautiful, and I don't feel like I'm being protected by you, or that I am yours unlike I did with my parents and Axel. I feel as though I need to protect you and that you are mine. I love you, and I can't figure out why, but I know that I love this feeling. It's so different to any other kind of love I've felt. There's a perfect world shining in your eyes, like starlight and all I know is that everything has changed and that I was enchanted to meet you." Now that was a speech.

I love you Xeno. He loved her too, so so much. He rubbed his cheek against her forehead and closed his eyes - letting her completely take over him. He'd wanted this for what seemed like so long. They stood for a few minutes, completely intoxicated with each other.
Xeno opened his eyes and realised it was night. He pulled away from Pluto and looked around, startled, before slowly tilting his head upwards to look at the night sky. The stars were beautiful, almost as beautiful and fascinatingly infatuating as Pluto's eyes. "I.. I can't do this.." Xeno said whilst dropping his head with a sigh. He walked away, back to the mossy bed-like matresses and sat in his pile of leaves before slowly putting his head to the ground and closing his eyes. Everything went silent for a few minutes. So silent. Eventually, Xeno opened his eyes to see that Pluto hadn't moved an inch. "You want an explanation, huh?!" He shouted across the clearing at her. No reply. He sighed. "Everyone I've ever loved, has suffered. They have suffered some horrible, horrible fate. It's a pattern. I don't want this to happen to you! You matter too much! But so did the others.. Only I was too naive to see it then. Go. Go, now, before you get hurt, or you fall ill, or you die or something else drastic!!" Xeno shouted between bursts of tears through the night sky. "Just go..if you value you're life." He knew she wouldn't leave, but he had to save her. Suddenly, the idea came to him. He bolted off into the forest, weeping as he galloped. "This is for your own good!!" Xeno shouted through the chokes of tears.

But if you are too scared to love then it's not my problem.
Xeno thought about this as he slowed to a holt and looked back through the moonlight clearing. He stared into her eyes, trying to resist her pull. He dropped his head as he walked towards Pluto and after a couple of steps he was standing close to her, looking down into her eyes. "You're a stubborn mare, ain't ya? I know how to deal with people like you - people who pass the blame and people who are bitchy and cruel. But people you love and you just get along with so well. People who have so much in common with you although you know they'll get hurt so many times along the line. But I can't let you go...and I know we'll fall out so many times but we'll recover! It's too hard for me, and it's too hard for you to leave now. Right?" Xeno stood staring into her eyes. "Now, that seems harsh, I agree. But I really do like you and although I haven't known you for long, it would seem so weird to live without you. So, I'm going to stay. I'm not a rogue or a rebel if I don't take risks. And you, YOU, are my risk."

Xeno looked at her, and smiled.
"Let's get some sleep." He whispered into her ear before trotting over to his pile of moss and leaves. He lowered himself down and gestured to her to follow him as he put his head to floor and closed his eyes. What will tomorrow bring? He asked himself.We'll move forward, and settle down somewhere. Maybe we will finally be safe and sound. He thought. Tonight, she saw me start to believe. For the first time. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
