I can't help it, I love writing about Toboe and his personality…anyways, this one's a songfic to "The Reason" and takes place in the middle of episode 2 where Toboe accidentally kills Leara's bird…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Toboe stood there; he couldn't believe what he had just done. He looked down at the ground covered in feathers. "Leara, I-I'm really s-sorry, I didn't real-lize that…" The wolf-boy stopped, he looked at the girl who had tears in her eyes.
I'm not a perfect person,
As many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know…
"You fed my dog, you've been so nice to me, and now look what I've done…" Large tears formed in the boy's eyes. "I wanted to be friends, but now I'm too ashamed." Toboe tried to explain to her, "I didn't think anyone would ever like me…"
I've found a reason for meTo change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you…
"You helped me understand that there is someone in the world for me…" He forced himself to look into Leara's eyes and then looked away. Large tears were now rolling down her cheeks. She couldn't hear what Toboe was saying, things were just too complicated. Her vision was blurred by tears.
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear…
Toboe was now shaking the catatonic girl. "Leara! Please, I didn't mean to kill your bird!" He shouted through his own sobs, "I didn't mean to…" He broke down crying, still holding her shoulder.
"W-what happened?" She softly asked, beginning to come out of shock; everything had gone by so fast; nothing seemed to make any sense. She looked down and saw her bird lying limp on the grass. Then everything came back…
I've found a reason for meTo change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you
And the reason is you…
"Y-you killed my bird…" She began to shake. Leara looked into Toboe's eyes and saw his tears. She took pity on him and touched his shoulder. But this only made him sob more. Pretty soon he was no longer able to hold up his human disguise and sat in front of her as a wolf. "W-what are you?" She asked uncertainly as she began to back up.
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
"Leara wait!" Toboe mentally shouted. "I'm sorry!" He began to howl, which made her back up even more.
"Y-you're the dog I saw earlier!" She continued to walk backwards and without warning, tripped over a tree root. She yelled out in fright and closed her eyes while she waited to hit the ground.
"LEARA!" He ran and caught her on his back before she hit the ground.
She opened her eyes and when she realized she had not hit the ground, she looked and saw Toboe struggling to support her on his back. She knelt down and slowly looked into his eyes. In them, she saw fear, regret, and large tears. Taking pity on him, Leara began to scratch his ears, "Its ok boy, don't cry. You didn't know it would kill my bird…"
Suddenly, a man gazed out of the window and noticed his daughter next to a strange, very large dog and yelled out, "Leara! Get away from that thing!" He paused and ran outside. "Get!" He swung his arm at Toboe, causing the wolf to run off to the edge of the yard, sit back down, and stare at the girl. "Come on Leara, we've got to go meet your mother at the cabin." He helped her up and led her to the car, all the time, she watched Toboe sitting there with a sad, confused look in his eyes.
I've found a reason for meTo change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is you…
The man opened the car door and motioned Leara to get in. "Come on sweetie, you don't know where that dog has been, he could be dangerous."
Leara got into the car; sure she would never see the wolf again. She pressed her face against the back window and gazed at Toboe.
He looked at her, still sitting in the yard and then, without thinking, he began to run. He ran after the car as it sped down the street. "Leara!" He shouted, "Wait come back!" But the car kept going and eventually he ran out of strength. He stopped in the middle of the road and just stared at the back window as the car drove farther and farther away.
I've found a reason to showA side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you…
