Sup guys? Ly here with da new chappie. I hope you guys enjoy. 3

Steven

The feeling of my tail being confined inside the tight jeans was one of the most uncomfortable feelings ever. My ears flickered around under the beanie, trying to hear all the noises of the suburbs of Seattle. Kevin was showing me around the neighborhood he lived in. He was a pretty cool guy, funny and kinda cute. Oh no, I couldn't be falling for a guy I just met! I glanced at him and smiled as he pointed out a nearby park. "And my friends Eddie and James live over there." He pointed at two houses at the end of the street. He grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the two houses. "Come on! Let's go meet them!" A panicked feeling surged through my veins. Kevin smiled at me reassuringly. "Its fine Steven, James has a hybrid living with him and I want to ask him a few questions." I nodded and walked with him towards one of the houses. Kevin knocked on the door and a young man wearing a blue Cookie Monster hoodie and baggy sweatpants opened the door. "Hey James, glad to see you up!" Kevin quipped happily. The hoodie wearing male groaned. "What do you want Kevin?" Kevin tsked. "I came over to talk to you about something." "What?" Kevin motioned me forward and pulled the beanie off. James' eyes almost popped out of his head and he stepped aside to let us in. "Sea! Get your ass down here!" James called up the stairs and a few minutes later, a blond haired boy came down. "Whaaaaat?" He looked over at us and his eyes widened. "Steven!?" I instantly recognized his voice. "Seamus?!" His perked corgi ears lifted off his head. My ears perked up and we pounced on each other. Seamus' arms locked around my waist. "I can't believe you escaped!" I laughed and felt my tail move slightly. There was a frantic knocking at the door and James went to open it. It swung open to reveal a young Puerto Rican with a young boy over his shoulder. "Eddie?" Kevin hurried over to his friend. 'Eddie' lifted the boy off his shoulder. "He's been shot, can you guys help him?" I looked over at him and my eyes widened again. "Aleks?!"

Seamus

"Aleks?!" No fucking way! I looked over at the kid Eddie brought in. Low and behold, it was Aleks, his black ears flicking ontop of his head. Kevin looked at me and Steven. "You guys know him?" I nodded. "His name is Aleks, he was our friend in that place before I escaped." I kneeled next to the pale boy. "He escaped a few days before I did, how did he get shot?" We all looked at Eddie. The Puerto Rican shrugged. "I found him in my backyard a few minutes ago. I don't know what happened to him." "He probably got shot while escaping." We all looked at Steven. He was staring toward the woods, anger plainly written on his face. "Calm down Steven, please calm down." I attempted to calm him down before he went nuts and attacked everyone. The slightly younger boy closed his eyes and attempted to calm his breathing. "Working on it Sea." Kevin walked over to his new friend and touched his shoulder. Steven visibly relaxed at that small bit of contact. My eyes widens. No, no way Steven has fallen for Kevin this quickly. I walked over to Eddie, James and Aleks. I placed my hand on Eddie's shoulder. "Come with me, I believe I can help him." Eddie nodded and lifted Aleks up and he and James followed me. I led them to the extra room downstairs. "Place him on the table and get him off his back." I went over to the cabinet and pulled out gloves, tweezers, a needle, thread, bandages and a syringe full of a clear liquid. I carried the items over to the table and looked at Eddie. "Take off his shirt." Eddie blushed but did as I said. I ran my fingers over the wound and Aleks flinched away, moaning in pain. "Hold him still, I don't want to use the syringe but I will if I must." Eddie nodded and held onto the pale boy and nodded for me to start. I slid on the gloves with a snap.

Aleks

The snap of gloves woke me up and I fought against the hands that held onto my arms. "Aleks! Calm down!" "S-Sea?" I hated how weak I sounded but I had a bullet in my shoulder, I had the right. A familiar pair of blue eyes entered my vision. "Aleks, I have to get that bullet out of your shoulder so please, let Eddie hold you down and let me get this out." I nodded and looked at the Puerto Rican I assumed was Eddie. He moved closer and grabbed my arms again and nodded to Sea. The blond nodded and disappeared behind me. I felt something enter my back and I tensed up. Sea sighed. "Relax your back Aleks." I nodded and relaxed the best I could and I felt Seamus move the tweezers around in my back. "Got it." I felt the tweezers start to pull out slowly and felt the bullet go with it. When the bullet exited my back, a shit ton of blood followed. "Shit! James, go get me more bandages!' The third male ran over to a nearby cabinet and did as Sea asked. He returned with a lot of bandages and Seamus got busy. He cleaned away the extra blood and started to stitch the wound closed. Seamus and I were used to stuff like this happening to us at this point in life. Sea nodded at Eddie and the boy let go of me. I whined a little at the loss of contact. Seamus glanced at me. "Can you walk Aleks?" "I think so Sea." I slid off the table and my legs buckled under me. I closed my eyes to brace for impact but two strong arms caught me. I looked up into Eddie's dark brown eyes. "I guess not then." Eddie giggled at my comment and it was the most beautiful sound I've ever heard. Sea shook his head. "Come on you guys, let's go check on Steven and Kevin." My eyes widened. "Steven?" Sea nodded. Last I saw him was back at that place. I shivered at the thought and Eddie held me closer to him as we headed upstairs.
