I stare at Mauja for a while, letting the tears stream down my face. I slowly watch as Mauja places his dark, velvety muzzle against my cheek to disrupt the flow of tears. I smile, enjoying his breath brushing against my cheek. It all seems so... amazing. No, everything seems so surreal. I sigh, enjoying the moment. I had never been so close to Mauja, physically anyway. And now, I would be connected with him in another way.
"Alright."
I pull my face away from him, somewhat shocked. He had given in? Took long enough. I smile, placing my head in the same place it was before. "Thank you." I murmur to him, my words are soft and delicate. It's late in the night, and I don't think I have enough energy to get with it or anything... maybe tomorrow or something. I believe Mauja was thinking the same thing, for he says it was time to go home. I nod, feeling him nudging my cold, dark shoulder, and I begin to walk slowly. I glance back, making sure Mauja was right behind me every step of the way. We were heading home. To the Basin, the only place that I actually feel at home. Who was I to think I didn't belong in the Basin? I was a unicorn. And... I loved the Basin. And Mauja. I smile, shaking my elegant head slightly. I glance over at Mauja, my blue eyes tracing over his dark figure before I turn around and continue walking towards home.
My weakness is that I care too much,
And my scars remind us the past is real
I tear my heart open, just to feel
