Shiroi Usagi leapt through the Parisian night air. Her powers made it real easy to jump from one building to another; her Lucky Feet she called them. Her white long hair blew in the wind with her bunny ears erect. She was on her way to her and her wolf-like partner's, Lupus, patrol spot, the Notre Dame church. She landed gracefully onto the roof to see a lone figure just sitting there looking at the moon. The funny thing was he wasn't sitting like a person but a canine. His wolf ears stood erect and twitched from time to time and his tail wagged to and fro while the rest of his body was still. Shiroi wasn't quite sure why her partner was sitting like that, but then again, he was part wolf so it would make sense for him to sit like that. She walked over to him and she saw his ears twitch toward her.
"Hi Wolfie!"
"Good evening Bun Bun," he called back.
"What's got your attention," she asked sitting next to him.
"Just thinking."
"Oh, what about?"
Lupus turned to her and smiled.
"Just about how cute you look tonight," he winked.
Shiroi blushed and turned her face away. Lupus chuckled at her response. Shiroi decided to get serious.
"Seriously Lupus, what's going on?"
"It's uh, kind of embarrassing," he replied with his own cheeks reddening.
"Wolfie, you can tell me anything," she said smiling softly and placing her hand on his shoulder.
Lupus was sort of taken aback by her gesture. It reminded him of someone from his civilian life. He hoped she wouldn't make fun of him after saying it.
"Well, did you notice the moon tonight?"
"Yes, I did. It's quite nice," she replied looking at it. "It's so big and bright."
"And you know I have wolf tendencies."
"Yes," Shiroi questioned, unsure at what he was getting at.
"What is it that wolves do when it's a full moon?"
Shiroi thought more and then realized what he was getting at. She then smirked.
"Have you been howling at the moon?"
"N-no! I have not," Lupus cried indignantly.
"You know I've never heard you howl."
"Good, and you never will!"
Shiroi knew she shouldn't but she knew that once it got started, it would be hard to stop. It started off softly, only meant to be heard by them. Lupus' ears twitched and he turned a sharp glare at her.
"Don't you dare," he growled. Then she got a little louder. "I'm warning you!" The howls got louder. "I mean it!"
He was struggling to keep it under control. He felt it in his throat. He knew he was about to crack.
"Bun Bun, please," he pleaded.
But when she let out a really long and loud howl, he couldn't fight it anymore. Tilting his head back and closing his eyes, he let out a long and loud howl. It was so loud that nearby dogs heard it and they began to howl. Shiroi began to laugh at how silly Lupus looked doing it. But it did sound pretty actually, like a song. Who knew he had that in him? After a few more howls, Lupus finally got it out of his system. His whole face was red and felt thoroughly embarrassed. He was supposed to be a Great Wolf, a stoic type of animal. And he just howled like an idiot. He looked over at Shiroi Usagi, expecting her to laugh at him, but was met with a sweet smile.
"That was beautiful Lupus," she said.
"Huh?!"
"I'm serious, it was lovely. You have an amazing voice."
Lupus had to do a double take; he's heard those words before from when Serenity caught him singing and playing his guitar. He was always suspicious about who his Bun Bun was but he wanted to be 100% sure it was who he thought it was.
"Thanks, you're the second person who's told me that."
"Oh, who was the first?"
"My friend, Serentiy."
Surprise flashed across Shiroi Usagi's face. But she quickly recovered and cleared her throat.
"Well, she's right. Could-could you sing some more? Without the howling?"
Lupus thought a moment and then smiled and nodded. He scooted closer to her and she leaned into him a bit. Lupus opened his mouth and began to sing the song Serenity caught Lucas singing. It was strong and clear. Shiroi Usagi was surprised again when she heard the song. When she first heard Lucas sing this song, it had a calming effect on her because that day was so stressful and it had all just melted away. So how could Lupus' voice do the same thing? Shiroi began to feel sleepy and cuddled closer to him. Lupus kept singing as he placed his arm around her. Eventually, his singing turned to humming and he subconsciously played with her hair. He knew they should head home but, she didn't seem like she was ready to leave and frankly neither was he.
