Silver smiled, "hey.. that's ok. I'm willing to wait." He said smiling warmly. He wanted to pull Aurelius into a hug, but he wasn't sure if he was ok with it.

"Yeah, I think it's best we take things slow for a while," Aurelius said, "but I think you're great, so…"
He was trying to read Silver's face. Was it really okay? They were standing closer than they usually had before everything that happened in the forest. Aurelius' body language was mostly relaxed and inviting compared to his usual tenseness.
Silver smiled at him, calm,, relaxed, "You're pretty amazing yourself." He said, debating on what the other would be ok with.

"Hey, quick question… How much of a cuddler are you?" Aurelius asked.
He thought he might be blushing as soon as he asked the question.
Silver couldn't help grinning at that, "Blizzaron wolves invented cuddling" he said, "do you need cuddles?"
group
"I like them," Aurelius replied, "I'm pretty cuddly, but I'm also touch-starved, so uh… do with that information what you will."
Silver smirked, stepping in to hug Aurelius firmly, pushing him down onto one of the empty cots so he could pull the other close. "Better?"
group
Aurelius smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, this is great."
He hugged back, very soft and sweet.
Silvef smiled, curling around the other. It reminded him of the hugs his dad used to give, causing him to tear up a little at the memory, pulling Aurelius closer.
group
Aurelius thought he was going to cry too. He hadn't been held like this since his parents died. He rested his ear against Silver's chest, listening for his heartbeat.
(Ahhhh feels…. they are adorable…) Silver nuzzled Aurelius' head, his nose buried in the other's hair as he hugged the other tighter, enjoying the quiet memory.
group
(Yessss!!! This is actually the first fluffy, cute relationship I've RPed in and it honestly makes me so happy. I do have one half to another couple in a different RP, but they're more angst/slow burn… It's very sad, but it's a good subplot.)
Aurelius shivered a little as he felt Silver's breath pass through his hair. He closed his eyes and just sat there in silence, save the strong pulsing of Silver's heart.
(Floof! Me love ze floof!)
Silver ended up falling asleep like that, curled arong Aurelius, calm and peaceful.
group
Aurelius slowly started to nod off too. He snuggled in even closer to Silver's chest and fell asleep.
(Timeskip?)
group
(Probably. I might go to bed soon. I'm working on an assignment, so basically I'll be here until I have that mostly done.)
(Cool, I might try to sleep soon too.)
Silver yawned, moving a little as he finally awoke, smiling when he saw Aurelius.
group
Aurelius slowly began to stir and woke up just about suffocated in Silver's chest. He turned his head to look up.
"Good morning, cutie," he said playfully.
Silver grinned, "Someone's feeling playful" he teased, "and is looking even more adorable than last night" he said ruffling the other's hair.
group
"A little," Aurelius replied, "I actually feel kind of terrible at the moment, but you're here, so it's not so bad."
Silver's smile faded, "What's wrong?" He asked softly.
group
"I'm feeling all weak again. It wasn't so bad after nightfall, but… I think I've been overexerting myself," Aurelius said, "I'm okay. Just a little achy and tired."
Silver frowned, pulling Aurelius closer, his light, silvery aura surrounding the other to get rid of the aches.
group
Aurelius let out a tiny gasp of surprise. The muscle aches faded a bit, but the tiredness didn't. It was the result of bigger things that Silver wouldn't be able to fix: being severely undernourished and barely able to eat still, plus the strange episode that had drained much of his magic the previous night.
"That definitely helped some," Aurelius said, "Thank you."
Silver nodded, "Now you go back to sleep." He said firmly. Watching him with his silvery blue eyes, concern clear.
group
"I might in a bit," he replied, "I think I need to try eating again. Silver, I lost almost twenty pounds in that prison cell, and I didn't have much to lose in the first place… I'm still worried about it."
"You'll be fine I promise." Said Silver, "right now you need rest, if you really want food I'll go get it, but you're not going anywhere."
group
"I wouldn't say want. I don't feel hungry… But I would be grateful if you grabbed something for me," Aurelius said.
Silver rolled his eyes, reluctantly getting up to grab a sandwhich or something. "I'll be right back" he said softly before heading out of the tent and towards the main cookfire.
Alex was there when he got there, eyebrow raised. "Where were you mate??" He asked.
"Out collecting herbs with Aurelius." Said Silver quickly making a couple of sandwhiches with the leftovers from breakfast.
"And that took most of the night?" Asked Alex curiously.
"If you must know we were attacked partway through, by a couple of archers. Would you mind reporting that for me?" He said calmly.
