I heard a noise and my tail fell, clutching itself against my body as I saw my Auntie stalking up the way towards me.
Like.
FUCK.
Why didn’t you say anthing??
And you were just kinda laying where you were a ways away, a ball of fluffy skunk mass, your attention pulled towards the grizzly bear that walked in my Auntie’s wake. I could feel your curiosity overpower the waves of my complete and utter embarrassment; you got on your paws and trudged up towards us, little skunk nose twitching in the air as you looked up hopefully towards the big brown bear. Just…fuck off, won’t you? You have no business being this damn adorable.
Shit.
I stepped away from the mirror-smooth surface of the pond, as though that were enough to hide my actions; as though staying out of the path of the pond’s honest reflection would cover up exactly what I had been looking at moments ago. No one needed to know all that--she certainly didn’t need to know that. Right?
Right?
*"What are you doing?"*
“I’m…” I blurted, but my voice trailed off and died as I looked at my Auntie. Really looked at my Auntie. Cuz it was the first time since I had seen her since…since Hototo…died. I hadn’t seen her since I broke down and lost myself to darkness for a brief second, willing her to hate me if that would make her feel better. And, looking at her now, it was clear where the pull in her face came from, the sunken eyes, the “offness” of her body.
“I’m…I’m sorry, Auntie,” I finally said—words that just tumbled from me before I could stop them. I lowerd my head, my eyes—everything drooped like the sinking feeling in me, seeing her so broken up. “I’m sorry…”
