Ren sighed as he picked up a flower and twirled it in his hands. Its rosy bright petals seemed to shine in the moonlight. It was so pretty...unlike him. His mind was filled with thoughts about a specific upcoming date - the full moon. A full moon was supposed to occur in two days. Just two days.

Where had the time gone? It felt like it was yesterday when the last full moon had occurred but it wasn't...unfortunately. It just wasn't fair! A full moon...why? Whenever they occurred it was the only time when Ren suffered and the only time Ren felt bothered by being a wolf hybrid. It was almost...almost like a curse for him.

Ren shook his head, his eyes glanced back to the flower that was in his hand. "Just don't think about it," Ren chanted in his head. But no matter how many times he'd tried to avoid thinking about it, Ren's mind always went back to those thoughts.

"I guess some things will be cursed like this," Ren quietly said to himself. Letting loose of the flower, he tilted his head as he watched it slowly leave. The breeze made it almost dance. "Fitting," He gave a faint smile.

Tonight was, in fact, a cold one. A soft but quite cold breeze hung around him, pushing the trees' foliage around. It was amazing seeing nature's work...impressive I guess you could say. Ren chuckled, admiring the view around him.

He looked upward, his eyes stared at the moon. "Just two days...just two days," Ren felt his heart sink even more. Why did he have to be cursed like this? It just wasn't fair. Why did the full moons have to affect him? There were so many questions yet so few answers.

Ren's ears suddenly prickled, as he heard the sounds of footsteps. He glanced around. "Why did that darn elytra have to break?" Ren heard someone grumble. His heart gave a leap as he recognised the voice.

"Iskall?" Ren called out. He heard more footsteps and grumbles before Iskall eventually popped up from behind some bushes, stumbling a bit.

"Ren!" Iskall warmly said, spotting Ren. He walked towards him, passing his hands over his outfit to dust himself off.

"Iskall!" Ren quietly cheered. "Wait, what happened? Why are you here?" Ren curiously asked.

"Elytra...those elytra aren't made like they used to be," Iskall half-complained. "It broke on me, the rudeness."

Ren let out a small giggle, hearing Iskall's half-complaint, "Such rudeness!"

"Exactly," Iskall smiled, visibly amused.

A brief pause of quietness overtook them before Iskall suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Ren, what are you doing here?"

"Just thinking..." Ren awkwardly answered. He bowed his head down, looking down at the grass to avoid Iskall's stare.

"You're thinking about the full moon again aren't you?" Iskall knowingly guessed.

"Yeah-" Ren nodded, "How'd you guess?"

"I know well enough by now. Look, it'll be alright."

"No, it won't," Ren mumbled. "It's not fair. Why do I have to be cursed like this and have to suffer during full moons? It won't be alright, but it's not like I can do something." Ren quietly rambled out before abruptly pausing.

He hadn't exactly wanted to ramble out his thoughts. He looked at Iskall, apologetically, "Sorry."

"No, no it's fine. You have every right to complain," Iskall sighed. "You want to know why it'll be alright?"

Ren nodded, curiosity getting the best of him, "Yes, why?"

"Simply because you have me," Iskall said, suddenly leaning forward and giving Ren a quick kiss on the cheeks. Ren's face instantly flushed into a darker shade.

Iskall quietly laughed, seeing Ren's reaction, "Cute."

"Iskall why?" Ren whined, hiding his face in his hands.

"Because I can," Iskall chuckled. "But anyway, it'll be alright, okay? When the full moon comes round in two days, it'll be alright."

"Alright, if you insist..."

"I insist. And Ren?"

"Yeah?"

"You're not cursed," Iskall firmly stated.

"I still think I am, but I'm not arguing you with that one cause I won't win knowing you," Ren mumbled.

"Oh, come on, you secretly agree with me."

"Fine," Ren huffed, trying his best to not smile and act serious for the occasion. Failing, of course. It was almost impossible for him to not smile when Iskall was around.

"Now shall we enjoy this gorgeous night, together?" Iskall asked.

"Yeah...that sounds like a plan."

"Fantastic then."

"Though Iskall, why is it a gorgeous night? It's cold," Ren asked, complaining.

"If it's cold then why were you here in the first place?"

"Umm..."

"Exactly, my point."

"And to answer your question: Because I have you and that makes it even better," Iskall winked, bringing Ren closer to him. He wrapped his arms around Ren.

Ren blushed, leaning into Iskall's touch and embracing the hug. For as long as they had each other, it'll be alright. Cursed or not cursed. It'll go alright in the end.
