A Touch

Of Acceptance

Disclaimer: This is a prompt idea from the awesome EverythingYukimura on Tumblr. And one I seriously couldn't pass up! Oh, and I own nothing but what you see here.

Scott was honestly nervous and scared as Hell when he revealed his Wolf side to Kira after she asked to see it. He had to look elsewhere once he had transformed as he couldn't stand to see the reaction of fear from Kira as it would have only reminded him far too much of Allison and his mother's reactions. He was really starting to like Kira as she was like a breath of fresh air to him with all that she did. Her willingness to spend several hours on researching Bardo had amazed him and he'd even been fairly stunned when her dad had let the cat out of the bag about her liking him. Her embarrassment over it had even confirmed her dad's words and it had made him happy to know that. And now… Now it seems like any chance that there might be of more then acquaintences or friendship was unlikely now that she knew the truth about him. That he was nothing more than a red eyed monster…

But to his immense surprise and shock, she touched him with her hand in a soft and gentle way. He looked at her in surprise, something that only grew when he noticed the lack of fear on her face and in her eyes. As instead, a smile and a look of awe could be seen on her features and it just stunned him to his core that she was reacting like this instead of in fear. And if Scott was being honest with himself and he was, he felt himself falling just a bit more for the girl who adorably rambled. That look of awe continued to come from her as she gently ran her hand down his face as his eyes went back to their normal color and eventually trailing down his lips and chin. Her oh so gentle touch was something he found himself wanting more of.

As it was the most soothing and exhilarating thing he'd ever felt up until that point. Her awe, her smile, her acceptance, and the complete lack of fear made him happy and it made him want to howl that happiness for all to know of. A comfortable silence went on between the two as they stared at one another. "Thank you." She told him softly and knowing she didn't have to say more.

He nodded at her in return as he knew what else was said in those two simple words. Kira had no idea of how thankful he was to her in that moment of her being so accepting of him and if he could have, he would have told her in that instant. But maybe soon he could once and if he was able to find the words to do it. Kira surprised him even more when she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek and it was enough to make him go back to his full human form. She smiled at him and he couldn't help but to smile back in return. "See you later?" Asked the girl softly.

"Definitely." He promised her and it got an even bigger smile from her that included her teeth before making her way to her front door. All the while looking back at him from time to time with him watching her every move.

With a wave to him, she made her way inside and all he could do was stare for a little bit at the front door that housed such an amazing girl. Scott then placed on his helmet with that smile still on his face and made his way home and to his complete surprise his mom was there too.. His mom was the first to notice the dazed state her son was in as he leaned up against the door frame to the kitchen. "Scott? Are you okay?" Came her question of concern at the state of her son.

Her question however seemed to snap Scott out of his state as he looked at her in what she could only describe as him in a state of peacefullness. Something she hadn't seen of him in quite some time and she had to wonder what had caused it. "Yeah… I'm okay, better then okay actually. I just realized something is all."

Melissa looked at him in slight confusion before looking to him and his mother asked what that was. Scott gave a smile to his mother before responding. "I just finally realized I'm not a monster." He informed his mother softly much to her complete amazement and shock. As that was something she hadn't really realized he felt about himself and part of her felt guilty for possibly being a cause in that line of thinking.

"You aren't sweetheart, you're a Werewolf. Nothing monstrous about that at all." She told him softly and he smiled widely at that before walking off to his room in contentment.

Melissa gave a smile of her own to the empty kitchen as she wondered what or who had done that as she would like to personally thank them for having done this for her son.

Author's Notes: And there we have it folks! I'm gonna be doing a sequel to this featuring Kira very soon. Though I may add it to this as a chapter instead.
