He wasn't sure about a lot of things right now, but the one thing he was sure about was his feelings toward Leslie. Being around her for six years, in which they were basically inseparable, he started to develop a crush on her. One that he wasn't even aware of most of the time, because he locked it away from fear of losing her for one reason or another. But he had no idea that she'd always felt the same way, maybe he should've known, but at the same time how could he? It wasn't like he could read minds.
"Yeah, I'm fine." he answered her softly. He didn't want to risk hurting her, but he wasn't going to push her away now that they knew about their feelings for each other. That would just hurt her more if he pushed her away now. Besides, without her, he'd have basically nothing. Leslie was one of the only people he cared about, and he wasn't about to lose her because of some fear he could easily overcome. He looked at her and sighed, "During the next full moon ... I want you to come to the forest with me." he told her. She might as well see what he turned into now because sooner or later she would find out.
