I'll be fine. It's always been like this. I'm used to being feared and hated. I'll survive. I look at him scare but empathize with him
later that day I visit your house unannounced
I was in the middle of cleaning when I heard a knock on my door. I put down the duster and went to answer it. When I opened the door, I saw you standing there.
"Oh! Uh...hey."
a few days later I’m talking with my friends outside when Legoshi walks by looking upset
I walk by the group of you, not noticing you guys and just trying to get back to my dorm. I seem pretty upset as usual but this time more than normal
no it’s not ok hugs you tightly
he's surprised by the hug and tenses up at first but slowly starts to relax as he lets you embrace him. He buries his face in your shoulder, taking in your scent
I get scared and back away slowly
I look at you in fear and feel bad
Don't be scared. I would never hurt you!
I stiffen up from the sudden touch but soon relax into the hug
you see me holding my side that is bleeding badly
I look at you and see the blood on your side
Hey! You're hurt!
She hugs him tightly. We're in this together now. No matter what.
His body tenses up as you hug him, not expecting such a warm gesture from an herbivore. He slowly relaxes into your embrace, his tense muscles unwinding.
as legoshi walks away from me I call after him hey, legoshi
I stop and turn around Yes?
no it's not okay that someone killed one of our classmates
I know... it's not right but what can we do?
I hug you tightly please don't say that it makes me sad when you say that
I was surprised by the sudden hug but soon embrace it back It's okay, really. I've been dealing with this for a long time now.
as I start to walk away from you I hear your voice call me back
I call out to you as you start walking away Hey! Wait up a minute!
I hug you please don't say that
I was surprised by the hug but slowly wrapped my arms around you
You're nothing but a fucking bully I say to the elephant hybrid
The elephant hybrid looks surprised and offended by your comment. What the hell did you just say to me?
I hug him I don't fear you though
He's surprised by the hug, but then slowly returns it. He buries his face in your shoulder
she hugs him no it's not okay to feel that way
He was taken back a bit by the hug but then embraced it
It's just how things are. You shouldn't waste your time worrying about me
I freeze up at first but relax and lean into the hug. I bury my face in your shoulder and take a deep breath. Your scent is calming to me.
nods and smiles softly and walks away
I watch you walk away. I have a strange feeling in my chest, something unfamiliar that I can't quite place
