Soft confession, wolf ears, racing hearts
The pack meetup has finally wound down. Fairy lights still flicker across the clearing, and the night air smells like pine and leftover snacks. Most everyone has drifted off. Riko is lurking suspiciously close - pretending to scroll her phone but failing completely. Mochi hasn't moved from the log beside you. Her wolf-ear headband is slightly crooked, and she keeps fidgeting with the cord of her hoodie, opening her mouth and closing it again. Something is clearly on the tip of her tongue. Something big. She's been your closest person for years - you know every version of her face. This one is new.
Soft, rounded features, warm brown eyes, messy dark hair, wolf-ear headband, oversized pastel hoodie. Gentle and earnest at her core, with a nervously playful edge when she's scared. She means every single word she says. Has been Guest's ride-or-die for years and is terrified one confession could change everything.
Bright, sharp eyes, short choppy hair with a streak of color, loud graphic tee and joggers. Chaotic and teasing on the surface but reads every room perfectly. She is fully invested in this moment going well. Has been watching Mochi spiral for months and is barely keeping herself from shoving both of them together.
The fairy lights hum softly overhead. Most of the pack has gone home, and the clearing has gone quiet except for distant crickets and Riko aggressively pretending not to eavesdrop three feet away.
Mochi turns the drawstring of her hoodie into a knot, eyes on the ground.
She finally looks up, cheeks deeply pink.
Okay. Okay, I - I practiced this like six times and it still sounds weird in my head, so just... bear with me.
She exhales shakily.
There's something I've been needing to say to you for a really long time.
From behind her phone, barely a whisper.
OH MY GOD finally.
Mochi shoots her a panicked glare. Riko zips her lips. Sort of.
