Next Part: I'm Sorry

Since falling in love with Aravali I've experienced a lot of new feelings. I honestly thought that the guilt that came along with the deliriously happy feeling  I got when spending time with him was the worst of it. Horrible, pit in my stomach guilt. But even that seemed to pale in comparison to a new feeling I started to experience lately. The first time I felt it was just a few days ago.

It was a slow day at the Shallow Lagoons. The weather wasn't particularly nice so not even the foals were around to keep us busy. I didn't mind though, that only meant I could spend the day with Aravali without getting disturbed. We were in the middle of a conversation when, against my expectations, actually were disturbed. But not by the foals. Two mares from the herd walked up to us and mixed into the conversation. It wasn't the first time the mares would join us or stop by but still I felt something tighten in my chest as Aravali directed his attention to them. As always I started to feel like some sort of third wheel as the mares chattered on and I grew silent. I'd never been good with mares, at least not like this. It wasn't until one of them got way too close to Aravali, playfully bumping into him that this new feeling hit me. It crashed over me like a wave pulling me towards the most awful thoughts I'd ever had about anyone. It was as if someone had tied a string around my heart and suddenly started yanking on it. Even though I was quiet on the outside, on the inside it felt like I was burning. How dare she touch him so familiarly? Why was he letting her? I could hardly look at the scene before me, feeling more horrible with each giggle that left her mouth and every word Aravali spoke to her. By the time the mares left and Aravali turned his attention towards me again my head was completely filled with the most negative thoughts I'd ever had. I had hardly even felt him bump his shoulder against mine as he joked about me being bad with the ladies.

Jealousy. That was the name of that hideous feeling. I wasn't sure what was worse. The actual jealousy itself or the fact that I was capable of experiencing such ugly feelings. And since then it only happened more and more. Not only with mares that approached him but his friends or even his brother. Every time someone would get close to Aravali I could almost taste bile and it made me feel absolutely terrible about myself. I never thought I would be such horrible person. Gold Dust told me it was a very common emotion but that didn't ease my mind. I was grateful for his attempts to make me feel better but in the end it was something I had to deal with on my own. And that was exactly what I was about to tell him.

"No", was what he said in reply, his brows furrowed. "You don't have to deal with your feelings alone, you idiot. I told you I would be here for you", his voice much reminded me of my first caretaker when he would be stern with me. My ears fell back stubbornly, "Why are you even being so nice to me? I'm a horrible person!" At that he rolled his eyes and snickered. "You're not a horrible person, you're in love. Jealousy is just part of the deal", he said with a grin but I didn't feel like returning it. "When others talk about love they talk about it as if it's something beautiful but when you can't even tell the person you're in love with, it's not! It's all ugly feelings and confusion, nothing beautiful about it", I replied my voice growing louder with anger. I knew I shouldn't talk to Gold Dust like that but bottling up all of these feelings had gotten me on edge. "That's good", he nodded and I immediately flared up again. "What's good about that?!" I demanded angrily. Gold Dust tilted his head to the side with an expression I hadn't encountered a lot before. "You're finally letting out your real feelings. You're always suppressing your emotions even though I've told you you can't talk to me", he answered, composed and reasonable and I faltered. "I'm sorry", I mumbled and fixed my eyes on the ground, "It's just hard". I could hear him taking a step towards me before he lowered his head to mine. "You're doing just fine Woo", he told me, holding my eyes with his. I failed to see how that was the case but I didn't object. "Besides, now that you know you're serious about Aravali you just need to woo him", I could see his expression go from serious to a teasing grin. And with that, against everything I was feeling, I laughed. "That was an awful pun."

To be continued~

Is it obvious I'm pretty much obsessed with Woo Boost at the moment? xD  And it's hardly been a month since the last part of the story, go me!  

But yeah he's encountered a new emotion: Jealousy. A bitch that one is. It was actually really hard to draw my cute, little innocent baby all jealous and angry like ;-; But he needed to deal with the feels I wasn't sure how to picture it so just imagine Aravali and some mare getting along in the background. 
May I also mention I love Gold Dust? He's such a good friend, I'd want a Gold Dust in real life xD 

I hope you guys will like jealous Woo and can enjoy the story! I have a feeling the next part of the story won't be too far along with this flow I'm in right now c;
