Blackfeather Woods thinking out loud

Damien didn't know how his brother had managed to get rid of his inhibitions, but for someone like Damien, who felt every eye around him was watchful and judgmental of his every move it was difficult not to want to live up to the expectations. He hadn't realized this, but Damien was fearful of what others would say about him getting into something with his own brother. For starters they both came from the same womb, and Damien had never heard of such a relationship. And on top of that Cicero was a male, and Damien was very confused about everything.

When he took the step back, he was expecting Cicero to stop trying to get closer to him and perhaps go away and leave him alone to think, but he hadn't put a lot of effort into that plan. Cicero was unpredictable, mysterious... It was hard not to get hooked by his hypnotic eyes... But that's not what we're talking about... Damien was confused about Cicero's reaction. His head tilted to the left and his ears folded back. Fearful? What was he smiling about? Then the tides turned quickly and the anxious Damien quickly became defensive, "What? What are you talk-" and then Cicero challenged him, and Damien's defense became slightly agressive, "Of course I'm not!" he barked as his face slowly turned into a furiously confused mess.
