Chereads / A Hand to Hold / Chapter 6 - Aaawwwww!

Chapter 6 - Aaawwwww!

Vigil was relaxing on the couch. Showing his wings and all. He was scrolling through tumblr. Rownan was next to him, checking out his feathery features when he wonders something.

"I read somewhere that certain manimals have a spot that'll make them happy and relaxed ."

"I dunno man. I've never been pet by anyone other than my brother, and he never found it. You're welcome to try if you want."

"Great."

Rownan started on his ears, he found 'a' soft spot but not 'the' soft spot.

He moved on to his wings after he explored the ears. At this point, Vigil was cuddled up next to Rownan and purring in content.

"You're just loving this aren't you?"

"Mhm."

Soon Rownan found it, near the middle of the wing close to where it meets in his back. Vigil felt himself relax as his brain seemed to melt away. His breathing deepened as his heart rate slowed. He went almost completely limp, relaxing at Rownan's touch as a content sigh escaped his lips. Rownan continues to stroke that spot softly, sometimes even scratching a bit under the feathers. At this, a warbling caw started in the back of his throat and accompanied the deep purr in his chest.

"Awww, you like that huh?"

Vigil couldn't find the strength or will in him to care about the teasing. The world seemed to melt away, Rownan's touch reminding him that there's a world somewhere. Rownan scratched under the feathers again. Vigil's breath shuddered, but his body was too relaxed to find the effort.

"I wonder…"

Rownan stopped with the wing and stroked along his tail. Vigil seemed to find some of his senses coming back.

"Hey sweetie, ya there?"

"Hhmmm…"

"Sleepy?"

"Mhm…"

"Want me to lay you in bed?"

"Y… yeah…"

"Alright. Can you bring in your wings for me?"

"Hmm…"

Vigil slowly drew in his wings and sighed.

"Good, up we go."

Rownan picked him up bridal style and slowly walked towards his room.

Vigil cuddled into him as he muttered, "warm…" under his breath.

Rownan smirked softly and placed him in bed. Vigil latched onto his shirt.

"Stay…?"

Rownan smiled and got in bed next to him. He kissed his forehead and whispered,

"Goodnight."

As they snuggled closer together, Vigil couldn't help but purr. The world didn't melt away, but it might as well have. Vigil's world was limited to the warmth and comfort of him and Roman...

But Vigil wouldn't change it for anything.
