Silvertip Mountain Homecoming

She'd like that. Ezekiel smiled, his pale blue eyes glinting with happiness. He was a calm guy, the only thing that gave away how truly happy he was were his boyish eyes. He tried his best to act mature but sometimes he couldn't contain himself. Valette made him happy, and knowing that she was happy about him too was all that he needed to know. He would wait patiently for her return, at least externally. Inside he could hardly wait to see her again. She said her goodbyes, lingering there for a moment. Zeke paused, unsure of what to say or do.

Something inside him wanted to kiss her, but that was too much. He wanted to keep her safe, he wanted to go with her and get to know her better. He still hardly knew what the feeling of having a crush was. It was foreign to him, but he had one. He started to absentmindedly lean forwards, as if to give her a quick lick, but paused a backed up when he realized what he was doing. He dropped his ears, he looked like a confused child like this. He waited a moment before speaking again. Safe umm, traveling then. Valette. He said her name, he liked how it sounded.
