'Ive loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night' Galileo
Okay I know this is a shorter chapter but i'm actually pleased with how this one has turned out :)
Fenrirs POV
I was worried about Harry. There was something wrong with him. For the past few days he's been getting more and more depressed and upset. I don't want to ask him about it for him to tell me that it's because he doesn't want to be with me anymore. That's my biggest fear. That he doesn't want me.
Yesterday he just sat cuddled into me for the whole day. Hardly spoke a word at all. That's why I'm surprised he's not here with me right now. He left me in the tent and went for a walk. I hope he's okay. I'd made myself a cup of tea and was slowly sipping it, contemplating whether I should ask him what was wrong or not. Was he missing his godfather? His friends? His life before? Did he resent me because I kept him here? You're not keeping him here, he chose to be here! Don't be a dolt.
I was just finishing my tea when he came bouncing in the tent with something hidden behind his back. He moved it when I tried to see what it was. Strange. Why wouldn't he show me? I took one look at his face and the frown I expected to see was missing. Instead there was a beaming smile. He was smiling again. The sight warmed my heart. I turned to put my cup down and when I looked back up he was gone. I saw the bedroom door close and knew where he was. What did he have? Why wouldn't he show or tell me?
I needed to know.
I slowly crept into our bedroom, making sure he couldn't hear me approach him. That was a bonus from my wolf, I was silent. The sight I saw made me sigh quietly. There was my mate, my Harry. He was sat in front of the wardrobe and he was leaning inside it. I peered discreetly over his shoulder and could see various things. There were several strips of fabric in all sorts of colours. Then there was what appeared to be a child's warm winter coat. Next to this were pieces of cotton wool and animal fur/hair. He had also collected some tinfoil and what appeared to be a child's teddy bear. He held in his hand the thing he had tried to hide from me. It was a soft white baby blanket. I noticed the beaming smile was still on his face.
'It's so soft' he whispered to himself, still oblivious to the fact I was there. I slowly put my hand on his shoulder. This caused him to jump and throw the blanket in the wardrobe.
'Close your eyes. Don't you dare look!' he demanded as he slammed the wardrobe shut. I knew what was wrong with him.
'Harry what is all that stuff?' I asked him softly.
'Nothing. I told you not to look!' he shouted at me.
I sighed, 'Where did you get all of that from pup?'
'I found it' he mumbled.
'Harry…'
'I Did! Some family left them.'
I smiled a little at him and opened my arms out for him to come to me. He leant into me. I slowly stroked his hair and he sighed.
'Why did you collect it all and bring it here sweetheart?' I asked him gently. I already knew why he had done it but I wasn't sure if he was aware of the reason as to why.
'Honestly? I don't really know. I saw it and something inside said I needed it. So I took it and kept them in here.'
'Why didn't you tell me?'
'Because I thought you'd think I was silly. And something inside told me you weren't allowed to see them'
'Don't you trust me Harry?'
'Of course I do! You know that Fen, I just don't feel like I can share this with you.' He said tearfully. I could tell that this was confusing and upsetting him. My poor mate. I hugged him to my chest softly and kissed his neck and shoulder softly. He sighed and snuggled into me.
