Buck x Grace Moment

In the present day, it was a rainy day at Patch of Heaven. Buck was hanging out in the barn because the weather was gonna get stormy. Grace checks up on Buck. Grace: Hey, Buck? Are you ok?

Buck turns around with a serious, semi-sad face

Buck: Grace... Is crying a good thing for the body of a horse like me?

Grace: Well, to tell you the truth, yes. I believe it can help relieve stress, clear up your eyes and help express your feelings. What made you think of that?...

Buck: Well... I miss my mama...

Grace: Well, where is she?

Buck: *tears up and chokes up a little* She’s gone.

Grace: *gasps* A-As in...

Buck: Yeah... Ever since I was born...

Grace didn’t know what to think. She never knew that Buck’s mother died and feels regretful.

Grace: I... I think I understand your pain when a family member dies... I still remember back then... When my mama told me about... Daddy’s...

Buck: R-Right... Grace? C-Can I have a hug?

Grace: Sure...

Grace heads up to Buck and hugs him softly. Buck immediately responds by hugging her back. After a few seconds, she felt some droplets on her shoulders. It was Buck starting to cry. This saddens Grace too due to the loss of her father and she joins in crying.

Buck: I’m s-so sorry to hear a-about your d-dad!

Grace: And I’m s-sorry that your mom is g-gone too!

Buck could feel Grace’s sobs from his chest while Grace can hear Buck’s sobs from her head. Their crying eventually calmed them down. When they calmed down and looked at each other with tear-filled eyes, they hug tighter and they gently kissed each other. When they let go, they felt a little better, but they still had tears streaming out.

Buck: *sniff* I love you, Grace...

Grace: *whimper* I love you t-too, Buck...

They then went to Grace’s comfortable area and decided to take a nap together. They laid on the hay and cuddled and comforted each other. Even if they felt their own tears, they felt much safer with each other hoof in hoof, and heart to heart.
