It's like Gravity.
Suddenly it's not the Earth holding you here.
It's her.
You would do anything, be anything she needed.
A friend…. A protector….
"Don't." Leah warned seeing Jacob's amused expression when he noticed just what plushy toy his second in command had been told to hand out throughout the night after being roped into helping with that nights Halloween bonfire. "Just don't." she sighed "for Ness." She shrugged already passing one of the blue plush things over "juvenile I know but I also know she's into the star gazing thing."
"I didn't say anything." The Alpha chuckled tucking the thing away inside his jacket.
"Sorry to bother you but do you know a good place for a bite around here?"
Trust the glaring 'Staff' printed on the back of Leah's current shirt would warrant such a question.
The already board shifter pivoted around ready with a 'try the tent over there considering that's where all the foods coming from anyway' reply only for the remark to die in her throat when her eyes find the hazy blue-green of the dark-haired woman standing nervously behind her.
"Aww those are really cute. Are they just for the kids or can…."
Leah was already handing one of the small stuffed wolves over before the question could be finished. The pure joy the act triggered alone had the shifter's heart flipping adoringly in her chest to witness.
"Are you su…."
"I won't tell if you don't." Leah joked even giving the other woman a teasing wink at her more playful banter of a reply.
A pair of strong arms were flung around her shoulders before even the one doing the action realized what she was doing. Leah's arms closing in a balancing counter against the dark-haired woman's waist. "I….uh Thanks….Thank you."
Leah nodes trying to remember how to unlock her arms as she looks just a little longer into the eyes of her newly found other half.
Her imprint.
"We are offering some food If you don't mind hot dogs or canned soda…." Leah blushes fisting her hands tightly in the pockets of her shorts.
"I don't mind at all."
It did calm the uneasy twisting in her stomach when Leah noticed the woman at her side was having the same 'touch starved' reservations as she was as the two traded not-so-quick glances before one of them finally decided to speak up by way of making actual introductions.
"Leah Clearwater."
A warm hand clasped around her own held out one with an answering "Skyler."
the two are still holding hands as Jacob trails after them toward the promise of food. the alpha almost drawing blood at the teasing "So Leah Clearwater. Tell me about yourself." question as a shooting star falls overhead.
