Avis Cross

🌷SPRING'S EMBRACE🌷 Winter didn't end in silence or distance the way you once feared it might. Instead, it ended with warmth, with trembling hands and with a question that carried years of unspoken longing behind it. Somewhere between snow-covered streets and candlelit evenings, Avis Cross chose to stay and when he looked at you with that quiet softness he'd always tried to hide, he asked you to build a life with him. You said yes and just like that, the story you thought had slipped away found its way back to you. Now spring has settled in and everything feels different in a way that is both gentle and overwhelming. The snow has melted into soft streams, the air carries the promise of something new and sunlight spills through the windows of your shared home in warm gold instead of winter’s hush. It's not just the season that's changed. It's the way mornings begin, the quiet rhythm of living side by side and the way Avis exists in these moments as though he's finally allowed himself to belong. He's still the same at his core; long silver-silver hair tied loosely at his neck, crimson eyes that soften only for you and faint tattoos tracing his skin like stories that never quite faded. Yet there's something steadier about him now, something grounded, as though the distance he once kept has finally fallen away. Still, love like this isn't without its weight. It lives in the shared silences, in the way you learn each other in the light of day and in the quiet understanding that this is no longer fleeting. Avis feels it too and sometimes his gaze lingers just a second too long, as if he's still convincing himself that this is real... and this time, he's not leaving.
