"Hnghh…" Ventus groaned as his eyes fluttered open. He blinked a few times at the sight of his dressing table as he recalled what might…have…actually really happened last night, 'it was just a dream, it was just a dream, it was just a dream…'
He looked down and saw a hand over his waist, then bit his lip, '…so I guess I am going to be living with a werewolf who wants me for my body, so he can protect me from his psycho wolf pack killing me… How am I supposed to just accept that like it's nothing?! I never prepared myself for this; medic school never prepared me for this! They should really have a subject or an instruction manual on what to do if you ever encounter a supernatural being…'
Something behind Ventus suddenly moved, reminding him that said werewolf is sleeping right behind him and is most probably waking up. Hot breath was on his ear instantly, and a deep voice whispered, "Good morning, Ventus."
"A-ah, good morning…" he stuttered as the hand on his waist held him tighter, "Uhm, how did I end up here…? I don't remember making it to my bed…"
"I brought you here, of course," Vanitas answered while nuzzling into Ventus's hair, "you smell good."
"Do you have a nose infection? Because I literally had to go through thousands of poops to treat other animals after you, yesterday, and I only took 5 seconds under the shower before going to sleep," the blonde wondered, more of hoping that the werewolf would stop smelling him already. This is really weird…
"Infection, huh?" in an instant, Ventus gasped as he was turned around and up. Luckily, he managed to prop his elbows before collapsing onto Vanitas's chest, "Maybe I do. How 'bout you give me a quick check-up. I could still be very sick from yesterday."
"U-uh…uhm…" he gaped and flushed red. No one has ever been so…flirty with him. More like no one had ever felt the need to flirt with him at all. This is all so new and he doesn't know what to do in this situation, "I-I don't know, uhm, well, I always skip the questions on nasal structures, s-so…" Ventus answered lamely. The wolf's smirk and stare seems so intense.
"Fine by me, you can skip that to the problem I'm having….right…now…" the black haired man brought his hands and held Ventus's head, over his ear, almost taking an instant effect on just melting the blonde away.
Ventus released a shaky breath and let himself swept away by some sort of pheromone the wolf was giving off, then slowly brought his body closer. He closed his eyes and but lets his mouth gaping to Vanitas's readied lips but then then a loud ringing sound suddenly went off. It was the alarm.
It also went Vanitas cursing at the ruined moment and Ventus flustering to get up quickly, "Uh-oh. It's already 6.30, I have to get ready to the hospital. Uhm, you can go back to sleep, I guess… Can I trust you not to turn out to be a thief who'll steal all my stuffs away?"
Vanitas sat up and quickly pulled the blonde, who was still straddling, into a quick firm surprise kiss and pulled back, "The only thing I want to steal from you would be your virginity and heart, so no worries. I'll be here where you want me to or tell you what, I'll even walk you to the hospital."
The kiss left Ventus paralyzed once more until he regained his senses and stuttered, "O-okay…" before clutching his necessities and went to the toilet. Closing the door behind him, he cove red his quivering lips with his hand, 'T-that was…my first kiss… I sorta expected it to be with a normal human girl after our date or something but… ah, I don't know what to think!'
He turned the shower on and drenched himself with cold water, 'He even said straight out that he wants my virginity… I'm even more scared now, putting aside the fact that he might eat me… but it seems that he likes my legs…?' Looking over his legs, Ventus really couldn't see what's so attractive about his normal-looking legs.
Meanwhile, in his bedroom, Vanitas continued lying down on the bed. He was too tired yesterday night and immediately dozed off. Now, he could finally take in Ventus's scent properly. He wants to burn this sensation into his skin so that he will never forget it, 'mmm he really do smell good…'
The wolf could not believe his fate at all. It's already a given that his saviour is beautiful but when he found out that Ventus have such amazing sexy legs yesterday night, he was more than overjoyed. Everything about the blonde seems so perfect; as if too good to be true, but based on those reactions he was giving, it does not seems like Ventus have any existing love life at all. It's so weird, 'What idiot doesn't want those sexy legs? I haven't seen his ass yet, but I'm sure they're damn nice. Well, more for me. Wouldn't want anyone else having 'em.'
He heard the sound of a door unlocking and opened but the bathroom door is still shut. Maybe there's another door led to another room. Vanitas just raised a brow, 'Smart kid. I don't think I'd be able to hold myself back if I see him all wet and shirtless.'
The wolf could imagine perfectly how the blonde human's smooth skin would glisten underneath the shower-aaand he got a boner, 'Okay, just think of something gross. Sora being annoying? Disgusting. Okay, done… now what. Should I go see him? Don't want to scare him anymore than I did already…'
The door swung open revealing a fully hospital uniform clothed Ventus, peeking from the door, "Uhm, since I'm kind of late for my shift at the hospital, is it okay if we stop by a café for breakfast? That is, if you're fine with taking a shower later."
"As long as I don't smell like shit to you, not a problem," Vanitas stood up.
Ventus handed over a pile of clothes, "Uhm here. The clothes you're wearing looks like they could tear any minute, so you can borrow mine in the meantime."
"Well, I found them in the zoo's janitor room, so that makes sense," he thanked anyone who is listening to him right now for being able to wear his human's shirt. That's right; Ventus is his. Just like a wolf that had mark its prey, except Ventus isn't just any prey. He is Vanitas's precious human.
After the wolf put on the clothes, which the blonde immediately ran away from his nudity, 'how cute,' they exited the house together and walked across the small town peacefully. They didn't say anything throughout the walk at first and Vanitas just looked around with curious eyes while following the blonde's footsteps.
"Have you ever been to a town before?" Ven asked.
"Yeah, a few times, but I've never been to this one, particularly," he replied without looking back.
"I-I see…" and just like that, the conversation ended and it became silent between them once more. Ventus would have expected the wolf to be asking him a lot of questions about himself after that bold confession, 'Guess I was wrong. Maybe he's lying, I mean, he couldn't have been serious about liking me so suddenly, that's ridiculous. Should I find him another place to live, after all?'
Ventus's whole body was jerked backwards by an arm around his waist. He turned his head around to face Vanitas, "What are you doing?"
"Make use of your pretty face and look in front of you," he said with a hint of angry tone.
He blinked at was surprised at the fast-moving cars passing by directly in front of him. So, lost in his own thoughts that he did not notice he almost crossed the road…and get run over by a dozen vehicles, "….ouh…"
"Are you always this absent-minded?"
"Uhm, not really, I was just thinking, actually, uh, thanks," Ventus starts feeling uncomfortable at the anger radiating from Vanitas, so he tried to change topic, "Hey, look, there's the café I was talking about, c'mon."
He took the werewolf's hand and walked a little faster. Fortunately, Vanitas didn't resist much and walked behind silently. The café is a small white-painted building and looks pretty much just like other cafes but what makes it Ventus's favourite café is because it has not overly expensive menu and adorable pets such as rabbits, cats and dogs available.
"Hey, Ven's here!" someone from the counter greeted him and Ventus greeted back, not realizing that Vanitas had moved his hand to hold Ventus's hand properly and comfortably, "Aren't you a little late, today?"
"It was kind of a hectic morning, the usual for me and…uhm," he turned to Vanitas, "You can take a look at the menu and order anything just… not so expensive…"
The wolf grunted and looked over it, "I don't really care about anything as long as there's meat…"
"You can take the chicken if you want. It's quite filling," he suggested.
"Sure then, one of that and I don't really care about water as well."
"O-kay!" the cashier said, already pressing the buttons on his machine, "the usual for Ven and today's special for his boyfriend."
"Wait, what?" Ventus look back with wide eyes while Vanitas was instead thinking of how lucky it is that the simple dish he chose was today's special.
"Seriously, Ven? You still can't say no especially since you're still holding hands until now," he pointed out.
The blonde finally realized it and wanted to pull out but…he don't want to anger the wolf anymore, "Uhm, we're not dating, he's just a friend—
"Yeah, we're dating and he's mine."
Everyone went silent for a moment while Ventus's face turns a deep shade of red. The cashier suddenly laughed out loud, "Ah, you guys are so cute, all right. Anyway, it's 19.50 altogether."
Both of them let go of each other's hands at the same time, so Ventus could take out his money and pay the bills, "All right, thank you- and they'll be ready in a couple of minutes. Meanwhile, you can go check your babies."
"O-ohkay, thanks," he said, and was about to just walk away but ugh that nagging feeling to lead the way to the werewolf who have no idea where he is…so he tugged Vanitas's wrist once more. Also, the thought of looking at the pets once more made the feeling of uneasiness go away.
"Babies?"
"He was just referring to the animals," Ven smiled and they took a seat next to each other. The place is not crowded since it's still way too early and most of the animals are still asleep in their shed.
"Oh, you come here everyday?" Vanitas leaned back on his chair.
"Well, usually when I don't have time to make food or I get a little lazy, and sometimes whenever I feel stuffy in the house, I'd come here and see the animals. I also kind of became their vet," and by stuffy, he meant alone. It wasn't that hard to decode.
Vanitas just replied with, "I see…" and went silent as he observed the café once more. There's that awkward silent once more. Ven hate situations like this. It made him feel like he has done something wrong and feels guilty, 'It couldn't be…that he's still angry about just now? But, there wasn't even anything to get worked up on! He could not have been angry just because I…almost got into an accident…' he frowned.
The wolf noticed this and looked at him softly, "Hey, what's wrong?"
"Hmn? O-oh, nothing, I'm fine…are you…still angry?" Ventus asked.
"I was but not anymore. Can't seem to stay angry at you for long, just don't scare me like that again."
Ventus's heart fluttered at that reply, "I…I scared you?"
"Of course, didn't I already tell you that I'm staying with you to protect you? It'll all be a damned waste if you end up in a car crash," he said sternly.
"I-I…well," Ven looked away, "I thought that…maybe…uhm…you'd prefer if you could be somewhere more…comfortable…"
They stayed silent since Peter brought their foods and drinks. Ven thanked and helped him, which gives Vanitas time to think. Usually the female werewolves or humans wouldn't say another word once he gave them the green light but Ventus is filled with so much hesitation and doubt and is so fragile. The wolf really doesn't want Ven to run away from him.
Once that cashier guy left, he held Ventus's hand carefully, "Ventus, I'll say this as many times as I need to. You saved my life and I've fallen so much for your kindness and beauty. Now, I want to protect you from any harm's way forever, if I must. Is that clear?"
At first Ven didn't do anything. Then, his face poofed back into a much deeper shade of red than previously, 'T-that was…I'm pretty sure that came straight out from a love storybook…but…the way he said it… He sounded so serious and original..."
When he realized he was just staring back and gaping, Ven shook his head a little and pursed his lips, trying to think of a reply, but in the end, he couldn't think of any to match Vanitas's …sweet declaration, "O-ok…"
Vanitas smiled, "We should finish this up, aren't you late for your shift?"
"Yeah but…I really wanted to show you the animals…" Ven half pouted and half smiled.
"Don't worry, we've got a lot of time to do that in the future."
...There's probably going to be a lot of errors in this since I didn't check it much. D= bad auther.
If anyone can't tell by now, I really like cheesy fluffy shits. Now, if only I can write smut...any tips?
