Running

"Charlie! Charlie stop running, I won't be able to hold back, and this will all turn way messier than It has to be!" He yelled, leaning against the wall and panting hard, as his eyes flashed from red to yellow repetitively.
I froze, turning around and slowly facing him.
His eyes flashed yellow, as he gained control once more, and I breathed I sigh of relief.
"Now that we're all good, let's get on shall we?" He asked, looking me in the eye.
"Why'd you run?"
-------------------
Charlie had always been a weird kid, not counting his disabilities, sexuality and secondary gender.
But when he gets diagnosed with a rare type of heat, one that can send Alpha's into ruts that could kill them, and would end with him eventually getting pregnant with 100% certainty, he feels outcasted.
So he breaks his tie with his mate, and does what he does best.
He runs. But everything is catching up to him, and maybe it's time for him to stop.

"Nothing lasts forever. Not even time."
