Sleepytwt avoids Feraltwt after that. They are ashamed, angry and embarrassed that Feraltwt has seen them so weak and vulnerable.
Feraltwt feels bad. They want to make up for what they've done, to go back and undo the damage they caused, or at the very least, they want the chance to apologise. The past two weeks, Feraltwt hasn't been able to get Sleepytwt out of their mind. They dream about that day sometimes, about how beautiful Sleepytwt looked, even with their cheeks wet with tears and eyes red from crying.
It's a warm April afternoon the next time Feraltwt sees Sleepytwt. They're out in the field near the school, sitting in the grass. The wind flows through their hair, and they almost seem to glow in the bright light of the sun. Sleepytwt looks ethereal.
Sleepytwt's eyes flutter open, and they startle when they catch sight of Feraltwt.
"Sleepytwt, wait!" Feraltwt calls out as they start to leave.
"Please, just go away."
"I'm sorry!"
Sleepytwt pauses. "No, you're not."
Feraltwt's heart sinks, but at least Sleepytwt is still here and listening, so they continue. "I really am. I regret ever saying anything. You didn't deserve any of that, and I haven't been able to stop thinking about you- it."
Feraltwt cringes, hoping Sleepytwt doesn't notice their slip up.
There's a moment of silence, and Sleepytwt turns to face them slowly.
"You promise?"
"I promise," Feraltwt assures them.
"I forgive you."
Feraltwt smiles, and asks in a tentative voice, "Do you maybe... wanna grab a coffee sometime?"
Sleepytwt smiles back. "I'd love to."
