Eru breathed out, "Well, I'm sorry. I came close to having a mate..." he said. He didn't know why he was telling Luca that. He shook his head, "But that was a long time ago..." and by long time ago, he meant two years before coming back to Zerca.

"Came close?" Luca's eyebrows piked at the idea. He was having a hard time trying to get his mind around the idea in the moment he paused in his speaking. "How can you come close to having a mate? It's supposed to be... instant and sudden..." His eyes both stare at Eru and glaze over, lost in his idea of what finding a mate is supposed to be like.

Eru laughed, "You've never even come close, have you?" he asked. The other boy WAS older, right? "I was fourteen, the other boy was seventeen. We... we loved each other very much... but he was killed by a deadly disease, and I never returned to that Zercan village..."

Luca pulled Eru close to him, holding him in a comforting hug as one hand rose to absently twirl a lock of the younger boy's hair in his hand. He had blushed a bit when Eru had guessed he'd never found anyone who might have even had the possibility of being his mate, though his eyes narrowed softly when Eru had described what, exactly had happened. He wanted to say he was sorry, to try and comfort him, but his head stalled at the last part. "You've been to Zerca before?"

"I have a feeling I was born here... but, remember, I don't remember anything up until my tenth birthday. Even now, I can't really remember anything from THEN..." Eru said. He was surprised at Luca's actions, but leaned in a bit at the other boy's embrace. Even now he wished the day of Liam's death would go away, instead of whatever journey Eru was on at ten years old.

He tilted his head a bit, a hand resting on his chin as he thought. It wasn't too terribly difficult to do, but there were a lot of little things to consider; he let his head fall back down, pulling the younger boy closer to him in a hug. "Well, if you're feeling it right, even if you're not the same species, you're still a Zercan," Luca said with a grin.

Eru nodded, "I can turn into a cat... which is one reason I believe I was born here. I just don't remember my family at all... and it leaves a big hole in my heart... but when YOU touch me... it goes away again..." Eru said, looking up at the older boy.

Luca tightened the hug with Eru just a little more. The younger boy had to be Zercan, he didn't know of any other race that could chance into cats like they could, and who was he to try and argue with the boy's feelings and beliefs? He could somewhat sympathise with him, though growing up and not having a family was no doubt worse then growing up and not having friends. His face turned a bright red at the complement, a little unsure of what to make of it. A hand quickly went to his hair, pushing a bit of it out of the way and quickly straitening a sash. It seems a little much to assume, but could Eru be his destined? He'd heard about mates being able to sooth the other just by touch, but never had any kind of proof of it growing up. He looked into Eru's eyes, giving him a quick squeeze. "Glad I can help," he replied.

Eru nodded at looked into the flames, "Won't your family be a little worried that you're touching a unknown male?" he finally asked. He didn't move away, but he was just curious. he flipped a stray peice of his black hair away from his face by blowing, but it settles back onto his forhead, and thus back in his face. He growled low at it but left it alone after that.

Luca opened his mouth for a moment, slightly caught off guard by the question, before promptly shutting it again. His eyes trailed upwards as he tried to think of what his parents might do given the situation.
"Well... they'd probably be happy I have someone close to my own age to be with at all," he mused. "And it is festival time and we need to make sure the visitors are happy..." he trailed off, still trying to reason his way around the situation. "... So, no, I don't... think so." He'd probably have to ask his Giver and Bearer about it at some other moment. During this one, he noticed Eru trying to blow a strand of hair from his face unsuccessfully. He giggled slightly, grabbing onto the troublesome lock of hair softly and tucking it gently behind the younger boy's ear. "Better?"

Eru sighed, he couldn't help but wish he could leave, and yet he wanted to stay right where he was, frozen in this exact moment. Maybe being frozen like this would make his feeling that he had to go somewhere else, that that feeling would just leave him alone. He didn't want to leave Luca... yes, that was it. He didn't want to lose another chance at... love?
Eru felt his ears pop up. They always did that instead of blushing, next his tail would appear, and then POOF! Eru turned into a spotted leopard. He had a golden coat, and his beautiful grey eyes blinked. The prayer beads were still fastened around his spotted neck. He made a soft purring noise, knowing he would be in this form until his heart stopped pounding, which, in Luca's arms, wouldn't be anytime soon. Unless he told the other one what he was feeling...

Luca stayed graceful in his stunned silence. His eyes darted around for a moment, taking a quick note that, he thought, no one was watching, before turning his attention back.
His hands held the Eru-leopard from under his arms, pulling the younger boy's feline form against his chest as he smiled, almost giggling. He moved a hand out from under Eru's arm, bringing it to his head and gently scratching between the feline ears. "You're very cute like this, you know?" he asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

Eru mewed, unable to speak in his leopard form. So instead, he purred and licked the boy's chin.

A soft giggled rise in his chest, blushing slightly as Eru licked at him. "Yes," he said in between laughs. "Very cute." Luca pulled the feline boy into his hug, holding him tightly against his semi-bare chest. "Clever, too. Some Zercans find it better to sleep as felines during our festivals. Guess it helps them get to partying more when the sun rises," he scratched Eru between the ears as he held the boy close.

'But...' Eru thought. He paused for a moment, putting a paw to his chest as the beating slowed down. He sighed and said, "No... I only transform when mt heart beats fast... and I can't talk until it slows... and I can't transform back until--"
He had transformed back quickly and rubbed his nose. His ears were still up on his head, but everything else was back to normal, "Apparently, my ears won't go away..." he muttered, hissing slightly.
