tw - slight reference to pain, migraine episode, hurt/comfort, fluff
i was heavily inspired by the fact i imagine being held while my migraines occur until I fall asleep and i had the worst one a few days ago so yeah
I was going to do agnst but life feels like a lot rn i just want to be held so here it is <33
gosh you adored the way he looked at you
From the moment you met, he couldn’t keep his eyes away from you
Even now while helping you manage the nausea and dizziness your migraine was causing you, his loving gaze didn’t falter as he helped you to your room
after years of heartache, you were a firm believer in not relying on others for help
Distance was safety, comfortable especially growing up being used to taking care of everyone but yourself especially during your migraine episodes
But he was a persistent and loving ball of affection
You were his person, his weakness, his love
He wanted to give you everything and more if he could because your presence alone gave him the solace and comfort he had only felt around his loved ones
It felt binding, as if his other half had finally found him
he wanted to learn your soul the way humans learn to speak their mother tongue, a language they seek for when they yearn for their home
At times you felt overwhelmed, not in a negative way
You had never felt such devotion and adoration, it ignited your insecurities despite the good intentions
The small insistent voice kept telling you to run, to quit because such blessings aren’t meant for someone like you
But in that dark and searing reminder of your past, you could reach for him because he was always right there
His love was so sticky sweet like tangerine you couldn’t help run towards to it like honeybees do searching for some honey
You hadn’t told him how much he meant to you, and yet he took care of you now in your most vulnerable moments with precision and care it made your heart hurt
He offered his help without asking for it back, without holding it against you
He was your refuge, your home
A love that gave you a promise of hope and security
So as the painkiller began to kick in allowing you to finally relax and dose off, you knew you were ready
Ready to finally tell him how much he meant to you
The gentle breeze from your window awoke you, the pain finally gone
in the fact that it had become night
You turn and smile, seeing Val laying next you asleep but trying to make himself as small as possible to not disturb you
Well, as small as a giant fluffy wolf can make itself to be
You call his name and he jolts, looking at you with worry
He ask you if you were in pain, if you felt worse
Instead you reach out to him, cupping his cheek
You look into those precious golden eyes and whispered "I love you " with a nervous and shaky smile but you finally said it
He blinks twice, laughs a bit nervously and tells you to keep resting
He asks if you wanted some water and begins to get up, but you reach out and grab his wrist to stop him
“I mean it, I love you Val”
He turns immediately, holds your hands and tells you its ok you don’t have to say it just to thank him
He had told you first he loved you before because he isn’t someone who holds back his feelings, especially when it comes to you
He had wanted to hear those words more than anything, but he knew how difficult it was for you to say it after being heartbroken too many times
But you pull him down to sit on your bed, reaching for his face again
"I love you my sweet boy"
"I love you so much and I’m sorry it took me so long to say it aloud"
"I promise its how I truly feel"
Your hand hasn’t left his face, withholding your breathe to not break the moment as if it was glass
until you see a tear come down his face
You jumped, holding his face with both hands and apologizing
He holds your hands and just says thank you, his tail and ears wagging nonstop despite the tears streaming down his face
You pressed your forehead to his, your own eyes spilling tears
Despite the silence in this moment, your heart could finally sing of hope
Of hope and a promise to give in into his embrace and pray you never get to see him going one day
ps - i miss how happy lads used to make me i miss life when valko was just introduced :(
