Alex couldn’t believe that he was receiving all this information so calmly. His heart beat so normally, it was actually offputting. But, he would rather choose to react like this than start screaming and freaking out. Teo’s going to be showing his ‘other’ side now. If he doesn’t get freaked out now, he won’t ever again for sure. 

Teo sent him a quick look. Confusion briefly came across his face, but it disappeared not even a second later. 

I guess he's weirded out by me too.  Alex kept up his calm face. 

“Alright. Let's do this.” Teo said. He stood up and turned around, Alex couldn’t see his face anymore. Even though he wanted to see Teo in his wolf form, some weird unsettling feeling set deep in his chest. Teo stepped out a little farther, up to the middle of the meadow. 

“I’ll get to it.” He half turned around to look Alex in the face. 

“...yeah, okay..” 

Teo began shuffling around with his feet. Soon enough, about a few seconds later, weird, dark smoke appeared at the soles of his feet. Where the fuck did that come from? 

The smoke almost lazily came up, wrapped around his legs, and it almost started to look like Teo’s bottom half had a weird smokey skirt on. 

Teo slowly dropped onto his knees. But he didn’t seem to be in any pain. He looked almost not bothered by it. 

Alex was reminded of the numerous times he either read a literary piece or watched a movie about werewolves, they would always whither in pain during their transformation. But, he honestly preferred it this way. He wouldn’t want to hear him painfully scream or something. 

The dark grey smoke covered all of Teo’s body.  

Alex could see the strange texture of the smoke. It reminded him of a thick moving liquid. 

And after a few seconds of nothing else happening, from the central part of the smoke, and Teo’s body, the smoke began changing its color to a lighter tone, similar to the color of concrete.  

Dispersing from the smoke, a light brown wolf showed up. First, its strong back, then the rest of its body stood up.  The smoke itself cleared up pretty fast, and the way the sun shone on Teo’s fur made it have an almost honey-like tint. The wolf wasn’t as big as Alex expected, but even from far away, he knew his head could easily reach above his waist. 

The wolf turned around and connected gazes with Alex. Its eye color was the same as before his transformation. They were almost too human for Alex’s liking, and he could feel Teo’s eyes boring into him. 

His paws, and the rest of his graceful body, started moving in Alex’s direction. His soft-looking ears laid on his head as he approached. 

Alex didn’t think his head would be so…big. It was proportional to his body, of course, but it was like the size of two human heads. 

Alex could see the muscle under the thick layer of fur. Teo’s front legs went up to two large shoulder joints, moving one after the other. This body is meant to hunt and kill, it was obvious. The smooth movements of Teo’s wolf body, and the absolute concentration in his eyes……Alex now understood how he was able to do so so easily. 

Teo slowly circled around the campfire and unexpectedly curled up to Alex’s feet. He began to lean his head on Alex’s knee, and right now, he looked more like an oversized kitten who was in need of cuddles than a dangerous, flesh-eating predator. 

Alex noticed the fur on his back was a different color than the rest of his body. It was a greyish color, which spread out from the back of his ears to the very end of his tail. 

Speaking of his tail, it looked like the fluffiest, softest thing ever. It was so large and wide. Teo wrapped it under his belly and laid it on his stomach. 

It took Alex a long second to compose himself enough to take his hand and slowly lower it to touch Teo on the head. His ears stilled, but almost instantly, he relaxed. Some of the feelings of comfort Teo was feeling transferred to Alex, so he felt braver to touch him more. The fur on his forehead was pretty rough and thick, but the fur behind one of his ears was very soft and a lot shorter than the first patch of fur he touched. 

Teo looked up at him, and the darker fur around his eyes made him look even more fascinating. Before, Alex couldn’t recognize the exact emotion Teo was feeling, but now, it was a different story. Teo slowly blinked and slowly moved his head down repeatedly. Teo then brought his paw to rub on his leg. Ah….I think I get it. 

Teo wanted him to sit down on the ground. So, Alex did so. Teo stepped back up a bit, but as soon as Alex’s behind hit the rather cold ground, he was onto him again. He got into the same position, but he laid his big wolf head in Alex’s lap. 

They stayed like this for who knows how long, but it might’ve been just a few minutes. It felt so comfortable, and just…right.  Alex closed his eyes at times while caressing Teo’s fur, and other times, he admired the wild beast in front of him. 

Teo’s light-colored stomach was the next attack location of Alex’s pats. Teo’s large legs opened up to make more room for his hands, but Alex’s hand stopped as he became taken aback by something. 

“........where's your dick and balls, dude?”
