Harrison tied the knot on his red cape and picked up the basket full of food, ready for the long journey to grandmothers. He had been baking all weekend to prepare for this trip. There were cakes and tarts of all different types. Though, cherry was always grandmothers favorite, so he made extra of those. After double checking everything, he locked up his house and started walking. He walked for about 20 minutes until reaching the forest he had to cross to get to her cottage. He had trekked this path many times yet still what lied within it made him tremble. Despite his uneasiness, he went in with as much confidence as he could muster. It wasn't long before he heard a familiar rustling from deeper in the woods. He had heard that sound every time he traveled to dear grandmothers house. Every time he moved into this forest, there was that familiar growl. The first time, it definitely managed to give him a fright, and the second and third. After the sixteenth time though, it had almost no effect. Almost. Harrison slowed his walking pace and looked around, waiting for that familiar voice. "Hello Little Red." There it was. The voice came from right in front of him, but when he turned, he saw nothing. "Dolan...you know you don't scare me anymore and I'd appreciate if you didn't circle around me like pray!" Harrison fired into the darkness. From a distance there was a soft sigh and a mutter of, "Fun-ruiner Red." He called Harrison this often, claiming that he 'always ruined his fun and needed to lighten up.' From somewhere in the woods, Dolan emerged, clad in his usual, ripped clothes. Dolan was a werewolf. He changed during the night and always woke up human in the forest. He met Harrison one night when he had been hunting. Dolan went to attack but he definitely underestimated Harrison's ability and preparation. He had pulled out a spray that blinded Dolan for quite a while. But Harrison wasn't a monster. When he came back and noticed the thing that attacked him was human, he took him back to his own residence and catered to him. He had been the one to blind him after all, it was the least he could do. Dolan's vision was fully recovered after a day and he left immediately after. But he never had been able to forget the boy and his kindness. So every time Harrison traveled through his neck of the woods, he made himself known. At first he was quite abrupt and harsh, but after the sixth time, he started to loosen up. Now Harrison would go so far as to say they're friends. Which is why, when Dolan comes out of the woods, Harrison inspects him to make sure he isn't injured. He isn't which is not uncommon. But it's also not unheard of for Dolan to come back with lots of scratches and bruises. Harrison scans the boy up an down once more before setting the basket down gently on the forest floor. He opens his arms and pulls him in for a hug. Even after all this time, Dolan is still surprised by showings of affection, even as simple as a hug.  He returns the gesture nonetheless. When they pull away, Harrison looks into Dolan's yellow eyes. "Rough night?" He asked and the other shrugged. "Could've been a lot worse." Harrison laughed softly and nodded. "I see..." he places his hands on Dolan's chest. "Please be careful out there." He reaches down and picks up one of the cherry tarts, which also happen to be Dolan's favorite. He holds it out to him but instead of taking it, Dolan shoots him an unfamiliar look. Harrison pouts and looks at the treat in his hand. "Do you not want it?" He went to put it away but Dolan's hand shot out and grabbed his arm before he could. Harrison gasped and looked up with wide eyes. "I didn't say that." Dolan smirked. Oh god. "Then.." he cleared his throat. "Then what?" Dolan let go of his grip on the boys arm. "Feed it to me." Oh god! Harrison's cheeks turned bright red, almost matching the color of his cape. "You want me to...ohkay.." he stretched the last word before bringing the tart to his mouth. Dolan flashed his sharp double fangs, the only werewolf trait he had 24/7, and bit gently onto the dessert. He pulled back and chewed slowly like it was his first time eating it. Harrison felt a weird floaty feeling in his stomach, one he couldn't explain even if he really wanted to. Dolan swallowed and took the sweet from Harrison's hand. "Now let me feed you." Harrison's eyes opened wider, "E-excuse me?" Dolan flashed a smirk again and nudged the tart onto his lips. "Open." Harrison slowly parted his lips and took a dainty bite. "Um, thank you?" He said after he swallowed it down. Dolan laughed and noticed a bit of the jelly on the corner of his mouth. "Oh, wait.." he leaned forward and swiped his thumb over his lips. Then he licked it off his own thumb, smirking at the very flushed boy. "All better." Harrison stared and didn't blink. "Little Red? Hello~?" He waved his hand in front of his face and Harrison snapped up of his trance. "What? Oh! Um thank you.." he hurriedly picked up his basket and adjusted his red cape. "I will see you on my next trip. Take care of yourself. Goodbye!" He rushed out, running off into the forest. Dolan laughed and shouted out, "Wrong way Little Red!" Harrison stopped and looked around, calculating the direction. He turned around and walked back the other way. "I knew that.." he mumbled and ran off out of sight. Dolan shook his head and leaned against a tree.
"Oh Harrison...I could just eat you up."

A/N: I know Harrison is not actually this dense! I just altered him that way because that's how I picture Little Red Riding Hood to be!
