He had never had a problem with his armor before, it was something that showed he was a warrior, a gift from his father and it was traditional from his clan. He didn't use it because he needed it, he never needed the protection but he had no issues with it so he wore it all the time.
Then she came along...
When Rin came in to his life many things changed, not that anyone would know. She was a pup when he had revived her and she followed him everywhere he went just like a pup would do.
To his amazement she continued to not fear him, and even went as far as holding his hand sometimes when they walked.
It was a strange gesture, Jaken started to complain that she was been disrespectful towards his lord but he for some strange reason didn't mind it and had glared at the imp to shut him up.
That is when the problem actually started, all the walking made her tired so she needed to rest or sleep but they needed to keep moving. It was during those times that she would rest / sleep on Ah-Un or in his arms.
He was always concerned about the spikes or the armor been cold or to hard for her to be able to rest comfortably. This pelt helped keeping her comfortable but he liked to have her in his arms, closer to his skin, her body heat and her scent was very comforting to him, it was relaxing,he wanted her near. He liked to bury his noise on her neck but the dam armor didn't help him with any of his desires.
At night when they stopped for her to rest, he would take it off and then he would enjoy her closeness.
Rin after eating and cleaning herself would go and cuddle in his arms, her cheek resting on his chest and then she would sleep in the safety of his arms.
Of course all this happen when they were alone, Jaken and Ah-un the only witnesses of his affection for Rin.
He deep inside wanted, craved and loved the affection she showed him.
As she grew this continued, his desire to have her close and safe were becoming an obsession.
When he visited her at the village he never wore this armor anymore. He would take her to the forest; they would talk as she leaned on his arm and after some time they would sit there in silence looking at the sky.
When she felt tired she would crawl into his lap as she always did when they traveled. He would put his arms around her to bring her closer to him and wrapped his pelt around her to keep her warm.
Her breathing would slow down and her heartbeat was steady. If he had his armor this wouldn't be possible he thought while he carried her back to the hut once every one was sleep.
The only witness during that time was his half-brother, which wisely enough didn't comment on his actions towards the human girl.
When she turned 16 and was given the option to return with him or stay at the village he was thankful he didn't wear his armor when she launched herself at his arms choosing to go back with him.
The day they arrived at this palace, his mother had arranged a dinner for the 3 of them. He had opted to not wear his armor for this he again was thankful he didn't. While having dinner his Rin had chocked on the food when his mother asked when they will be mated because she was getting old and she wanted grandpups.
He had grabbed her and had helped her recover, after that he settled her in his arms, glaring at his mother who had the audacity to laugh at his overprotective reactions.
The day he brought the topic of mating, how beneficial it would be and everything he would give her again he had opted not to wear his armor. And again he had been right to not wear it. Rin had started to cry and launched herself to his arms saying yes over and over again.
When his mate gave birth to their first pup, he again saw the advantage of not wearing the armor. He carried the pup close to his chest; he was the most amazing creature he had seen. Their son was beautiful and fragile, a mixture of Rin and him and he will protect their son with all he had.
He understood then what his father did for his half-brother and his human mate and wouldn't fault him anymore; he understood finally that great desire to protect and the last words his father had said to him.
Holding his mate in his arms with her carrying their pup was all he needed. He didn't need an armor, supreme power or any trivial thing anymore.
He said goodbye to his armor to welcome his family.
