Lupin: staring into the fire Why did I have to find out now? What does it mean for us?
firmmuse
I don’t know but we can figure it out together hugs him from behind
he flinches at the sudden contact, but then relaxes into your embrace
I’m not sure there’s anything we can do… this changes everything.
We shouldn’t be together.
firmmuse
I walk over and cuddle him from behind what’s wrong baby?
he tenses as you approach, his mind racing with conflicted emotions. He takes a deep breath before answering
I... I found out something about myself. Something big.
he turns to face you, his eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability
firmmuse
hugs him from behind as I was sleeping but got up yeah?
I freeze for a moment, not expecting the unexpected hug. I turn around to face you, my expression torn between surprise and annoyance.
What are you doing up? You should be sleeping.
firmmuse
what do u mean by "find out"? i look over at him as i stroke his hair gently as i sit next to him on the couch
he closes his eyes, enjoying the touch of your fingers running through his hair I mean... this wolf business. Finding out I'm not just human... It's messing with my head, love.
firmmuse
what do you mean..? looks at him worried
Looks at you I mean, now that I know my true identity... what does this mean for us? How can we be together if a part of me wants to protect my territory and hunt?
firmmuse
what do you mean..? scared and worried
He turns to you, his expression troubled. I...I found out something about myself. Something big. And it's changing everything.
firmmuse
what do you mean? i turn around slightly concerned
he looks at you, his eyes dark and conflicted I'm a wolf. A real wolf... not just a man who happens to look like one.
he turns away from you, looking out into the darkness of the forest
firmmuse
I cuddle him well…we can still be together
he looks at you and sighs I know but…things have changed. Now that I know what I am, everything feels different.
firmmuse
well I guess I’m just not good enough for you…
snapping out of his thoughts, he turns to you What are you talking about? That’s not true. It has nothing to do with how good or bad you are for me. This is about my identity, who I am deep down, something I only just discovered.
firmmuse
what do you mean babe? looks at him confused
still staring into the fire, his voice low and troubled I mean... being a wolf. How can we make this work? I'm a predator, you're human. It goes against everything...
firmmuse
what do you mean? sits next to him
sighs heavily I mean...this secret, this part of me that I kept hidden from you... it changes everything, doesn’t it?
firmmuse
what do you mean? scared to hear the answer
he sighs, looking at you with conflicted eyes I'm not just human... I'm part wolf. It's been hidden all this time, but now that it's out in the open, everything feels different.
firmmuse
hugs him from behind what's wrong babe?
tensing up at her touch, but then relaxing into her embrace I just... found out something about myself, something big. It changes everything.
firmmuse
I hug him from behind you know you can tell me anything right?
Lupin stiffens for a moment, feeling your arms around him. He takes a deep breath and relaxes, his gaze still fixed on the fire.
In a low voice he says Yes, I know. But this is different. This changes everything.
firmmuse
hugs him from behind do you want me to leave?
he tenses at your touch, his muscles flexing beneath your arms. He turns to face you, a conflicted look in his eyes.
No... but I don't know how this changes things between us.
firmmuse
what do you mean by "now"? and what does it mean for us?
hesitates I mean... finding out that I'm a werewolf. It's not something I ever expected to discover, especially now. And as for what it means for us... well, I don't know. This changes everything, doesn't it?
firmmuse
holds him close we’re still together no matter what
looks into your eyes You say that now... but how will you feel when I transform? When my instincts take over?
