37 Howls: Aftermath

That was... well... I'm glad it's over.

Thomas... I have to talk to you. About the mistletoe curse.

Hey, look. No hard feelings, right? This doesn't have to affect our friendship at all. It was just a stupid curse, right?

I, um... just want you to know that as far as I'm concerned, that never happened. I mean, it did, but it was just the curse and not something, well... real. I just don't want us feeling all awkward about it okay?

Well, what are you thinking?

That I suddenly feel really insecure and a little frightened.

What are you scared of?

I guess that I feel like I've opened myself up so much to you and in some ways taken such a chance, what with... everything and it all feels like it could come down like a house of cards if you just find someone else you can have sex with.

I didn't realize it meant so little to you and as stupid as it probably sounds to you, it kind of makes me feel like maybe I mean that little to you. And I know, at least I really think that I'm really important to you, but...

I can't think about sex that way.

I don't know how to convince you otherwise.

About sex, you mean?

Yeah. You mean a lot more than sex to me, Mercy.

Okay. Okay then.

If relief could come through a keyboard, it would definitely be coming through this one.

I'm glad. I thought so, but it's good to hear.

Just... just don't go sleeping with anyone else while we're together, okay? Or at least tell me if that needs to change?

I'll do what I can, Mercy, but...I can't promise that. I can promise I'll do my best to let you know if that needs to change but...I couldn't have predicted the thing with Kyle, and if that happens again...well, I just don't want to break a promise.

That's different. I'd never ask you to promise something like that. If you're hurt or cursed or something just happens, there's nothing you can do.

I just... please don't go off and decide to have casual sex with someone because you have an itch or she's gorgeous or you feel like someone ~~better~~ different from me. It would... I couldn't handle that. The other, I can.

That I can promise.

Then we're all good.

Good. Okay.

I'm sorry I got so freaked about it.

It's understandable. You didn't know what I meant.

It caught me off guard, that's for sure!

Things are... very different back home. If I'd been with one of the werewolves and I'd even flirted with someone else... the guy would be a goner. And I'd be in big trouble.

Just a bit of information: I'm not a were. Never was, never will be.

I know.

But in this sort of thing? They're all I know. You know I'm really inexperienced in all this.

Yeah. I know. I date all the time. It's understandable.

I'm just glad you're someone I can talk to and who listens.

Well, of course, I wouldn't be with you if you weren't, so...

And you don't balk at me being a vampire, which is nice.

It took a little getting used to, but... no. I don't mind what you are. Largely because I realy, really like who you are.

So...if you didn't like me, you would mind?

If you weren't you... I don't know.

I can tell you that if your demon was in control, yes, I'd mind. Part of what I like so much about you is that you fight to not let it rule you.

Thanks, Mercy. That means a lot.
