Real or Fake

Everard felt really self-conscious when Alexander showed his interest in seeing him in his most hideous form. “Why would you even want to see me like that?” He was afraid that if he was to display his fangs and claws, Alexander would always remember him as a monster. “I look… terrifying and disgusting.”

Alexander was unfazed. He already knew what to expect.

So, he kept on staring at Everard’s face and said, “That is for me to decide. You said I was being a hypocrite, right? I’ve seen what… they look like with those red eyes and fangs. And to be honest, I was afraid and shocked at first but I didn’t feel the same way after seeing them protect me.”

He gave a little smile to his friend and said, “I know that you won’t try to hurt me like those rabid men. So… I think I can handle seeing you.”
