Chapter 10: Night in the forest

We were in the forest at night, only a blanket and a little fire to keep us warm, Yan was in Yuki’s form to heat me. I was thinking about his past.

- Yan, I really need to ask you something.

Yuki took some clothes and ran away in the forest, 2 minutes later Yan went back. He went under the blanket with me to keep his heat.

- I want to know more about your past… and about you…
- You already know almost everything, but I can try to make you know more about me. When I was at the orphanage, nobody wanted to adopt me, because I was a problem child. At this time I really felt that I was not where I belonged and when I realized that I was able to morph, I ran away… They searched me for a week, but didn’t find me so they stopped the research. For a year, I travelled like us now and fond somewhere to hide and sleep at night. I decided to go to school to have a chance to do something later, at least that’s what I wanted at this time, but now I feel that I’m where I belong, by your side.
- Why did you come with me? Why didn’t you stay there and let me go alone? Why do you care about me?
- I felt that if I let you go that day I would have been worried and you really needed someone to protect you and take care of you. I really want to know that you’re ok and also… you know how I feel about you…
- I know and I can’t say that you’re only a friend, but that’s not love, I know that I can have some confidence in you, but I’m still afraid because of what appended to me in the past, I don’t want this to start again.
- I promised that for all the time that I will be with you, never someone else will hurt you and if it’s the case they will know that there are consequences to make you suffer…
…

The conversation last for an hour. We putted some wood in the fire and Yan morphed back to Yuki for the night. Before I felt asleep I thought about all that he said to me. Things like that he belong by my side, that he feel that I’m the person just for him, that he need to know that I’m ok. I feel that his sentiments are sincere and that makes me feel that I can have more confidence about him. When I think about what he feel for me my heart feels warmer and accelerate.

Maybe you can call this the beginning of a love feeling…
