“I miss who you are too b-but.. it’s about what’s inside isn’t it?” Jack asks quietly as he runs his hand up against the smooth curve of her head, fingers trailing gently. “You’re… you’re still beautiful to me…”
He had fallen in love with the human Katelynn, of course he had. She and her long flowing hair, her smooth, peachy skin tone. But this was still her, only… a little different. A female of his own species. Well, his natural species. He gave a smile and pressed a quick kiss to her forehead, hoping to calm her a little.
“I guess you’re right t-though, about changing together… one can’t stay normal if the other isn’t… if w-what you can call us is normal.” he grinned slightly.
“More like a reversal..” she said, closing her eyes at the sensations he was giving her. “But yes..we’re still us on the inside..”
Opening her eyes again slowly, she peered into his own, fingers holding onto his forearms.
“Actually..now that you’re human..do you want to go out..? I mean..you said you were always scared of being judged because of what you looked like..even when I told you you didn’t have to worry..but for tonight..I mean..you know..experience a day as a human around the city..”
She hoped it didn’t sound insensitive and that he understood what she meant. She really wasn’t try to be.
He blinked his green eyes a little before turning his head to look outside. To go… outside, like this? He wouldn’t be stared at, would he? He wouldn’t be mistaken for Megamind, or anything like that. And Katelynn, well… if she wanted she could wear the watch or just go as she was. She was so brave, so strong, why would she want to hide?
Jack turned his head back to her, pausing to blow some loose curls that were beginning to hang in his eyes.
“I’d love to. If, if you come with me.” he said. “And the girls, too!” he added, looking down at the dogs.
