# + Two Runts + # 『DISCONTINUED』

Revelation

"Okay."

With wide, curious eyes, he looked up at me in surprise. "R-really?" Nodding, I replied "Yeah. I don't know why, but I feel like I can trust you to not do anything to me. Also;"

I took a small bath bomb I bought a couple of weeks ago and it released a red color throughout the shallow water. "This'll avoid any peeking; of me or you." I mumbled the last part to myself, however ineffective it would be.  Having a conversation with a canine can really bring down the drama.

As it started to bleed the water, I lifted my top over my head—the same way as when I changed into it—slowly, arm over chest as to not reveal my boobs. Then, using only one arm, I slipped my pants off. However, it was not hard, for I had used only my legs to remove my pants before, so this was a breeze. This skill also managed me to cover my genitallia as well.

Stepping in the water one foot at a time, I quickly noticed it would not be comfortable to sit apart from him, as the faucet was on the opposite side of where he sat. The realization made me redden intensely.

I cutely pressed my knees together and shyly looked at Lance, all the while tightening my coverage from his staring. "U-um..I..." He faintly smiled as he beckoned me with open hands. Going down carefully to lay my head on his chest, he stroked the ends of my curls once I got settled.

"Mm..Your hair feels really nice. Even more so than it already does." "I-It sometimes happens when I sleep. Most times it turns frizzy and poofy, and others it turns like this."

A slight nibble could be felt on my earlobe with a low, joyful grunt. "I love it. It's so soft and beautiful, just like you."

I laughed, and I felt his head tilt against my skull. "See, that's what I don't get. You're always giving me all these compliments and calling me all these things. I don't get it. I've only known you for so little time, yet you still go and say all these things about me. Why? I'm just a weird girl with chub-chubs." Squeezing my stomach rolls in emphasis.

"No, better yet, why do you think I'm your mate? There are plenty other girls in the area, supposedly werewolf or not, prettier and more willing to do it. Why spend all this time going after me?"

He put his chin on my head and hugged me close. "I do have a reason but..." There was silence as he thought. You could practically see the cogs spinning with nostalgia. But the strange thing was, it wasn't the good kind.

"Will you promise that you won't be freaked out?" "I solemnly swear that I will not judge you for your explanation." Silence conquered the room a second time, and he broke it exhaling loudly.

"To be honest, I've actually seen you for a few months now. I know it's stupid, or creepy, whichever one, but one day, I was just walking, and I saw you by the stream. You were new, and I was interested, so I hid to watch. As you wrote in your...uh..pad..?"

"Journal" I filled in.

"Right, that. Well, I just became...enamored. The sheer passion a-and determination on your face as you worked your writing stick–"

"Uh, pencil."

"Mhm! I actually never knew it was called that, but it made me grow...attached to you. Whenever I could, I would see if you were there, and you often were, just doing whatever. All kinds of things; I even caught you doing some rituals and singing before. W-Which, by the way, you do beautifully at."

A smile sneaked its way onto my face. While I was flattered, I was also embarrassed. I never expected someone to see that. My spiritual rituals were always done in privacy. Well, the average person would be weirded out...or think I was a Satanist.

"Not a lot of people can connect with the earth like you do. It's..amazing. It was easy to see how sweet and observant you are. Did you know that you talk to yourself? It's cute!"

"Not necessarily myself...maybe some of the animals there, for the sake of it..." "See that's what I mean! You're one of those people who actually care enough, and I..love that. Plus, it's easy to see how smart you are." "What? UHow?"

"I don't know! I just get that sense from you. But it was true. Don't you notice how you explain things, using such large words. It seems so complicated, but even I can understand it with the way you explain it! It would've been so nice to have met you earlier.."

I flipped over so I could face him, slightly below his chin. "Baka! Why didn't you say anything to me? I would've been glad to meet you!"

A sorrowful look spread across his face. "I...I was scared. I thought you'd...judge me. You remember when I said I was a runt?" I nodded, extremely curious and serious as I stared at his face. He was obviously saddened by remembering.

"Well, my parents...just.. abandoned me. I just wandered the woods, until a female with no pups took me in. Yet, after a few years or so, because of my passiveness, she let me go. She said I'd never be able to get anywhere if I wasn't willing to fight. 'Nice guys finish last' and 'You'll never find a mate without dominance' she said. Using what I knew from what she taught me, I, somehow, survived."

I let out a small "aw" in pity, but then fixed myself. "S-sorry! Keep going; I've been interrupting this whole time, and it's rude."

"No, it's fine. I'm sorry if I act more animal-like than human, but I've barely ever been around them. But when I met you, I was...so happy to see that you cared for me. Even though I came onto you so many times, you forgave me and kept me. Feeding me, caring for me; like a mother. I-I want that for my pups. Someone great who can care for them and teach them. That's why..." He lifted my chin with his fingertips and swerved his hand around my waist and partly on on my back. "I want you."

I closed my eyes and softly kissed him on the lips. He hungrily returned it and held my back, and it felt like heat was bouncing off of him. Breaking away, I smiled at him, while he stared back at me with gleaming eyes filled with joy and a blush on his face.

"I definitely don't judge; don't do to others what you wish upon you. That's what I say, anyway. And, I love you, too. You love me for a good reason, and that's all I ask for. Your explanation was logical, and incredibly sweet. To be honest, I've grown fond of you over these past days. I..never realized how much I like caring for you. It's so, a-amazing, to just...have someone to hold. And..I like a cute, playful person, too. So that's definitely a plus."

"Y..you...l-love me?" I nodded with a bubbly "Mhm!" He suddenly squeezed me tight and nuzzled my head which took me by surprise. I felt drops plop on my scalp and heard a small sniffle from him.

"Thank you, Brielle. I love you, too." I hugged him and rubbed his back in attempt to comfort him, but I ended up shedding tears myself. We just sat there, naked in a red bath, crying, hugging, and loving each other. What a weird couple.

(A/N: Jeez Lou-frickin'-eez, it's been a while. Hey, mainstream joke, when was the last time I updated?

About a week ago! (Week ago)

But yeah, confrontation, confession, yadda yadda. Hope you enjoyed otherwise. I'll try to do this as much as I can, but I've been in a chronic writers block and it sucks balls.

Along with that is school and such, and the fact that I'm working on 3 other stories with practically 4 more on the way. Sorry if it's inconvenient, but I'll do my best for you.

AND, ANOTHER thing, NOT important, but I thought the song went well for the sad, yet enlightening mood of the ending.

And no, this isn't a parody of Twilight. That is outdated, irrelevant, and the only connection between these are that the love interest watches the female. Sorry about that, but I tried making animalistic behaviors. That was just Lance's way of determining his mate.

bOi!!)
