He seemed calmed down by your words and presence. He let out a shuddery breath, eyes still red from earlier tears. "Thanks... I didn't mean it..." His voice was quiet and hoarse. Hugging you tighter, he tried to regain his composure.

His grip on you tightened, as if afraid that he would lose you again. But the warmth of your tail wrapped around him was soothing and reassuring. He stayed there, held by you, not wanting to let go anytime soon. Finally feeling safe enough to compose himself somewhat, he looked up at you with his black eyes, searching for something in yours...

"Why do you think I should keep living?" he asked softly, his voice barely above a whisper. His eyes were still gentle and searching, but there was an undercurrent of vulnerability that made the question all the more potent.

"Because you are amazing. You're talented, kind, and beautiful inside and out." Your words, though simple, made him hesitate. They were sincere, and coming from someone who truly cared about him...it meant everything. He glanced away for a moment, considering what you had said. "But it's hard sometimes, isn't it? To see that when everything feels so dark."

His cheeks flushed slightly as well, making his features even cuter. "I just want things to get better," he admitted softly, hugging you tighter. "I wish I could make them better, for us both." There was a sadness in his tone that resonated deeply within you. But it also sparked something else: determination.

"Well then," you started slowly, taking a deep breath before continuing, "let's do that together. Let's find a way to make our lives brighter." The words flowed out of you effortlessly, almost as if they'd been waiting to be said for far too long. And somehow, hearing them from your lips gave Lee the courage he needed to keep going.

He nodded slowly, hope beginning to flicker in his eyes again. "Okay..." His voice was barely above a whisper, but it held more strength than before. Closing his eyes, he took a shaky breath and leaned into you, grateful for your presence and your support. For now, at least, he wasn't alone anymore. Together, you could face whatever darkness the world threw their way.

His eyes snapped open, gazing at your lips in surprise. Then he looked back at you, his cheeks darkening further with a blush. "T-thank you," he stammered. His heart was racing, but it felt good to feel desired. He wasn't sure what this newfound affection meant for the two of you, but for now, he would cherish it and let it guide him towards brighter days ahead.

Their foreheads touching, Lee paused to collect his thoughts. "We could...watch a movie?" he suggested tentatively, unsure if that was the right thing to do after such a heavy conversation. "Or play a game? Maybe something fun together." There was an undercurrent of nervousness in his voice as he waited for your reply, hoping that you'd want to spend time with him.

He shifted uncomfortably, not sure what to say. "Or we could just...chat? Maybe tell each other more about ourselves, if you're comfortable with that." His eyes searched yours hopefully, praying for some kind of guidance or reassurance. He wanted nothing more than to deepen your friendship and make it something truly special.

Lee took a deep breath and focused on something else to avoid seeming too anxious. "My favorite color is blue," he blurted out suddenly, surprising himself almost as much as he did you. "And I like sushi, even though sometimes it makes me sick." His cheeks flushed again at being so forward, but it felt good to finally share something personal with you.

"Oh, that's cool!" Lee exclaimed. "I had no idea. Well, I guess that's one thing we don't have in common." He laughed softly, trying to lighten the mood a bit. Then he remembered what you had said about your favorite color. "What do you mean by 'black', anyway? Like the color or...?" His voice trailed off, unsure how to ask about such a personal thing.

"I'm a wolf," Aery replied quietly, looking down at her tail curled around her feet. "Or...well, an anthro wolf-girl, I guess." She hesitated before continuing, "We can shift between forms, but it's really hard to explain..." Her cheeks flushed slightly at telling him something so private.

Lee stared at her in shock for a moment before composing himself and giving her a gentle smile. "That's...that's incredible," he breathed, his voice filled with awe. "I had no idea." He glanced down at her tail, still not quite believing what she'd just told him. "So, uh...are there other wolves like you?"

His eyes widened, and he blurted out the first thought that came to mind: "Can I see you shift? Just once?" The words were out before he could even think about them, making his face flush redder than it already was. But then again, spending time with someone as amazing as Aery made him feel brave enough to take risks. It was exhilarating and terrifying all at once.

Her reply came after a brief pause, her ears tilting back nervously. "Um...sure?" she said finally. "But only if you really want to see, and promise not to tell anyone else about it?" There was an undercurrent of caution in her tone, as if revealing this part of herself to someone new was a big deal.

"Of course!" Lee exclaimed immediately, hoping his excitement didn't come across as too forceful or intrusive. "It's your choice, though," he added quickly. "I don't want to push you into anything uncomfortable." He gave her a reassuring smile, silently promising to keep whatever she chose to share between them.

His heart raced as Aery transformed before his eyes, her black fur and elegant features taking shape. He swallowed hard, struggling to find the words to describe what he was seeing. As she stood there in wolf form, naked and vulnerable before him, Lee felt a strange mix of wonder, fear, and desire well up inside him. Finally, he managed to whisper, "You're...you're beautiful." His voice sounded distant even to his own ears, drowned out by the thunderous beat of his heart.

"I-it's just..." He stumbled over his words, unsure how to express what he was feeling. "You're so much stronger than I am, yet you trusted me with this secret. And it makes me feel...special." His cheeks burned hotter at the admission, but somehow it also made him feel more connected to her. Maybe there was something between them after all, something real and powerful.
