*big ol' inhale and screeches* come hither my friends!!

• takes on form of dog* " i hope so."

“But I never know…. I never can tell what he’s thinking. Or what I should tell him or withhold.” My knuckles whiten as I grip my mug tighter. “I always seem to screw up, but then just a few hours later, he and I will interact like nothing ever happened….”

• rubbs head agenst her hand " its okay momma"

I smile and rubs behind Hiro’s ears Mm, that’s what everyone always says….

she waggs her tail at this " but i mean it."

“But this has happened so many times before… I don’t think this is right…. if I could just….” I sigh before smiling and shaking my head. “Never mind. What do you want for lunch? I’ll make something.”

"too late. i made QUESADILLASSSSSS"

" something we havent had before. "

"anyone want quesadillas..?"

I rub my face, then freeze as whispers fill the silence.

I chuckle at the quesadilla comment before turning back to Hiro “How about cheesy corn chowder? Sound good?”

shrugs

(AaAAaaAaAAaaaaaAAAaaAAaaAA)

" i like moms idea better"

(casually walks to a corner to eat my quesadilla alone ;-;)

"Josh.."
I flinch, looking around with wild eyes.

No.. Don't, please… Not right now…

"Let me out, Josh."

I can't! You know I can't!

I gasp, my face contorting into a pained expression as I drop to my knees and grip the sides of my head.

Shut up..

I grit my teeth.
Shut up.

hiro felt the sudden switch in the air. her tail tucked between her legs.

"Let me out, Joshua…"

I growl, fighting against the pain as I shift so I'm on one knee.
Never.
"You can't hold on forever…"
TRY ME!

I rise to my feet, swaying a little. My feet singe the grass beneath me, and the grass around me goes brown and dies.

hiro begain to pace.

"mom something wrong"

my head jerks up, my pupils contracting, my ears flicking agitatedly “Something’s wrong with Josh.” I drop the potato I was peeling onto the cutting board, and run out of the house and into the woods, not bothering to even take the apron I had on off “JOSH! JOSH CAN YOU HEAR ME!?“ I scream out as I jog through the woods, searching

A crackling sound can be heard. Large horns sprout forth from my mess of hair, spiralling out like an elk's.

hiro followed .

i also follow, yelling "YOU NEED A QUESADILLAAAAA!!!
XD i had to put this in, i'm sorry..

My breathing grows more ragged, almost a growl now. I drop onto my hands and knees, my nails turning into claws.

(your an idiot) hiro sniffied the ground and barked running in that direction.

I stop in the middle of the woods, now having no sense of direction. “JOSHUA!!!!!!!”

hiro barked again "mom follow me!"

I sit back on my heels and look at my hands. A broken, unhinged laugh comes tumbling forth from my lips.
