She sighed, giving him a lick before jumping down and walking over to Shade.

He stayed put,keeping his cool so he wouldn't jump up and stop her.

Shade didn't hear her coming,curled up in his little sparrow wings and trying to keep himself from peeping sadly.

She laid next to him. " shade. "

He peaked his little head out and shifted back to a kitten. "Yes?" He asked softly,red eyes tired and sad.

She sighed. " im not going to reject your feelings, since i dont want to see you hurt. "

"Then....what do you mean to do?" He said softly,confused.

" um...well, im...going to accept them. "

Justice looked over at the two and his ears twitched,he hoped so much that he'd heard her wrong due to his distance.

Shade looked shocked. "But...Akira...." He seemed to want this but also seemed pained as he tried to explain what that would mean. "Akira,when someone accepts anothers...feelings,it means they feel the same back..." He then looked away. "I don't mean to be rude,but I doubt you feel for me."

Justice relaxed a bit.

" i do. A little bit. Its not as much as i feel for justice, but its there. "

Shade's ears pearked up faintly and he looked to her with slightly widened eyes,red still but faint ice blue seeping in. "R-really?" He asked softly. Just the faintest amount of feeling for him to him was just the world because he'd not had even that for years.
