By the evening, he's forgotten all about his melancholy. There's enough to do even on a winter day to keep Poe from wallowing in his thoughts. He skips lunch to do a mend on the kitchen plumbing that he's been putting off for a day that requires a useful distraction.

Today qualifies.

By the time he's done he feels better - he's used his strength and solved a problem and proved that he doesn't need anybody else, emerging half covered in grease and dust.

It's very satisfying.

Enough that routine is good enough for the evening. He makes dinner, then settles down with his book, losing himself in the exciting world of Jack Reacher for a little while. He likes the fast pace of the novels, even if he has to admit they're pretty cliche, and maybe the author talks about guns a little too much. They're easy fantasies to indulge in, so Poe does. He likes getting completely wrapped up in them.

He's right at the climax of the book when Jack is beating up some 'roided out madman with his bare hands when someone knocks on his door.

Poe looks up, irritated at the interruption, and a strange, fierce anger follows. Change ripples under his skin, very near, and then realization sinks in.

He's been trying so hard to pretend today is an average, routine day that he's forgotten it isn't.

The knock is probably just Snap or Jess making sure he's ready, that he'll be alright. He shakes off his irritation and opens the front door.

"Hey, Poe," Finn says, standing easily on his front doorstep again with his hands in his pockets. "So, look, I guess your pack goes on hunts on full moons, and I don't know anyone too well yet... I was hoping I could be part of your group?"

"My-?" Poe says, lost. He understands what Finn is asking, but the earnestness of it makes Poe very aware of the fact he has to say no - and that he doesn't want to. He doesn't want to disappoint Finn, and every submissive instinct tells him he doesn't say no to someone with more standing than he has, but this isn't that kind of situation.

"I can't," Poe manages, and he's aware of how stiff that sounds, how hollow.

Finn's expression crumples - just a little, but it's clear he's disappointed.

"Oh," Finn says, and then seems stuck. "I'm sorry - if you had other plans..."

Poe's resolve wavers. A clean break with no explanation would be kindest to both of them, making himself the bad guy would give Finn a personal reason not to come back. Even so, he finds he doesn't have it in him to let Finn walk away hurt.

"No, buddy," Poe says, feeling put on the spot. Edgy, since his change is so near. "I don't have a group."

Finn brightens. "We could go out together, then. I mean, if that doesn't bother you - just until I learn the boundaries. I don't want to cause any trouble."

"Didn't anyone tell you that you had to stay away from me?" Poe asks, suddenly tired. Dammit, was Finn going to make him say it?

Finn shakes his head. "Some of the other don't seem to like you, but I don't get that. You've been nice to me."

Maybe that's where Finn was wrong.

"Well," Poe says, "I'm cursed. And as far as they're concerned, if you hang out with me, you'll be cursed, too."

"What?" Finn asks.

Poe lets his anger build to a head on the wave of primal sensation that his change rides on. He can't help it, even as he feels it turn him into a bitter, unfair monster to someone whose only crime was innocently believing the best in him.

"I don't go out on the full moon," Poe says, controlling his tone. "I can't go with you, and it's better if I don't, anyway."

Then, before it fully overcomes him, Poe swings the door closed and locks it, hoping either Snap or Jess can explain the rest to Finn, before the transformation surges up from under his skin and the full-moon drive overruns his senses.
