As Aron fell asleep rather easily, Cody kept his eyes open, holding Aron close to him, taking in his scent. Cody knew that he would  never let anything hurt Aron. He would do anything to make sure Aron was alright. Curled against him, around him, Cody listening to his breath, to the beating of his heart, letting that convince him that Aron was okay. He bowed his head, resting it on Aron’s. 

[color=tan]”I love you, Aron”[/color] He whispered, kissing his head. When it was clear that Aron was deeply asleep, Cody slipped away, gently extracting himself from Aron, he went over to where he had some of his art supplies. Setting himself down, Cody began to take them out. He bowed his head a moment,letting out a slow sigh. Images from the night before flickered through his mind, and he swallowed. 

Cody was terrified of what he was becoming. What if he become… like that… wolf? He didn’t want to be like that… He didn’t want to hurt Aron. He didn’t think he could hurt him. But what if? Cody scrunched his eyes closed tightly, and shook slightly, drawing in a breath, and then letting it out. He pushed the memories away, and looked back to his supplies again, and taking out his phone, he brought up Aron’s picture, of his parents and him and Gage. 

He began to draw, referencing the picture every so often, sketching the image first, before adding details to it, Cody let his emotions smooth out by drawing, and bit by bit, piece by piece, he brought the photo to life on his sketch pad, wanting to give Aron something that would last, and wasn’t damaged by fire, but that wouldn’t replace the photo entirely. He set his things down once he was finished, looking back to Aron.
