Chad

Even in this world, they don't have time for this shit…

Emily rolled, stretching luxuriously under the bright sun. JJ was sprawled next to her, one eye slit open and watching the other wolves languishing around them. A sleepy summer weekend at a local shifter hangout. Benefits: endless in-fur sunbathing without humans making asses of themselves snickering at the 'big doggies.'
Downsides: Chad.
Chad was flopped over a rock a few feet away, belly up with his tail sweeping slowly. Every time Emily or JJ glanced at him, he'd wink and stretch a little more.
Is something wrong? asked a familiar mental voice. There was a soft patter of paws and Will slipped up shyly behind them, grinning at JJ. Emily rolled her eyes. They were still so awkward together, the white-blonde JJ and her brindle-grey partner. You guys look bothered.
Romeo over there keeps staring at my tail, JJ grumbled, growling in the man's direction. Chad looked supremely unconcerned, taking a mouthful of his dinner and attempting to eat it in a seductive manner. Seeing as it was a whole, unskinned rabbit, the results of this were not as intended.
Fed up, Emily stood and strode over there.
Hey, pretty—he started, but she cut him off.
You do realise you've got rabbit guts on your ears, right? Emily pointed out with a snap of her fangs. Also, stop staring. You haven't got a chance in hell. I'd rather spend a month in the pound.
Chad's tail drooped. Emily was almost sorry.
Almost.
