A/N from A.C.: Oh my good Gaia, Zexion is so angsty. But you have to love a guy with a crush on a werewolf~
And! *le gasp* A new wolfy! Good thing he isn't quite too concerned about Zexy.
Saix absently waved a paw and settled into his hay, "You going to tell me or what?"
Zexion nodded, "Yeah… I just don't know where to begin…"
"You said you had friends and a family, yes? Tell me about them."
The human shifted in his spot, picking at the now-cooked meat, "Okay… Well… My mom's a vet, someone who takes care of animals, and I don't have a dad; he died when I was younger. I lived in a busy city, and was an only child."
Saix's ears perked up, "How did your father die? Will you tell me?"
Munching on a piece of meat, the boy nodded, "Yes… I suppose… He and I went shopping for toys, it was my birthday and he said I could have any toy I wanted. I just turned eight that day. When we went to the A.T.M. –"
"What is that?"
"It's a machine that you get money from."
"Oh… Interesting… Please continue."
"Well, when we were at the A.T.M., some guys jumped out at us. Dad hid me behind him, and guys took out a gun… They told him to give them his money or they'd shoot. He did. He gave them the money and begged them not to hurt me. He never mentioned himself… He just didn't want me hurt…" The boy wiped tears from his eyes and continued. "The two guys just laughed. The shot my dad… Right in front of me… I still remember all the details…"
The wolf's ears were flat against his head and his eyes were a bit watery, "Zexion… I am so sorry…"
"Why? You didn't do anything, Saix…"
"I took you away from your family…"
"That was ten years ago, Sai. It's okay. I like being here with you."
"You… You do..?"
The boy smiled, "Well, yeah. I mean, my home life was pretty shitty. It's just like you took me away from all the pain and everything."
Saix was a little shocked by that, "O- Oh…"
"Yeah… I'm sorry if that was awkward."
"No, it's fi –"
Almost suddenly, a shadowy black blob dashed into the hut and dove behind the blue wolf. Once it stopped moving Zexion saw that it was another wolf. The human looked at Saix and arched a brow. He silently mouthed 'Who?'
The blue-furred wolf put a paw on the black wolf, "Nero… Are you alright?"
Nero pounced on Saix, pushing him onto his back, holding him down by his shoulders. The black wolf sat on the blue's stomach and moved so their snouts were only inches apart, "Listen, Sai, you have to let me hide here. Please! Just for a little bit!"
"Dear Luna… What have you done now?"
Shadowy ears folded back and Nero tilted his head to the side, "I may have… Just maybe…"
"You may have what?"
"May have pissed off Brother…"
"Wait…"
The black wolf's crimson eyes shut tightly, "Pleeeaaase! Don't make me go back there! I'm not ready to diiie!"
"How did you make him mad?"
"I may have… Kinda…" Nero lowered his voice to a whisper, "walked in on him when he was mating…"
Saix tossed his head back and let out a barking laugh, "Are you serious?"
"I didn't mean to! He never told me that he was going to do… that!"
Looking back at Nero, the blue-furred wolf smirked, "Why would he have to tell you?"
"How should I know he would do that?"
"You should be better about your brother's privacy, Nero."
The black wolf pouted, "He should learn not to bring home other wolves."
