marisela’s gaze softened as she caught the nervous energy the young werewolf was radiating like static in the evening air. she tilted her head, her usual smirk easing into something softer as she tucked her hands into her pockets. “nah, you’re not the only one,” she said, her voice taking a similar gentle tone to the one she used with frightened patients at the hospital. “between the costumes, and the smells, and everyone acting a little extra for halloween, it’s enough to make anyone wanna vanish for a bit.” her eyes scanned the area, spotting a quieter stretch of the fair near the boardwalk. “there’s a spot over there,” she said, nodding her head towards it. “not exactly a grand escape, but enough to catch your breath without bumping into someone every five steps.” marisela paused, giving the boy a playful smile. “if it’s not too much company, we could walk over there together. i’m not much for games tonight either.”
jasper hated it. already they had counted three ‘ werewolf ’ costumes — the furry masks, the ripped shirts, the blood around their mouths — and each time the frightened cub had flinched and quickly changed direction. he was there, in part, to accompany koda, the vampire that had become his boyfriend only three weeks ago and yet had changed their entire life completely. for the first time, jasper felt loved. they felt safe. they felt, finally, as though their father couldn’t touch them, as though he would be torn limb from limb if he tried. ripples of anxiety clung to jasper — he knew that they always would — attached like limpets to the underside of an old ship. even if they were pried away, they would leave a scar on the hull ; how many more scars could the youngest finch take? a bump threw him back into the real world, out of his thoughts, jerking them back to reality. jasper gasped and fumbled to grab the phone that had fallen into a pile of orange autumn leaves. “no, no, it’s okay — don’t apologize,” they babbled, wiping dirt from the screen and pocketing the thing, “i — um. no, actually, no. i wasn’t going to … i’m not very good at games. i’m actually — ” they took a deep breath, centering himself, spine straight and eyes wide like a trapped bird. “ — i was just looking for somewhere quiet to get away from all of this. it’s … it’s overwhelming, isn’t it? or am i the only one that thinks this is a little much?”
