Chapter 8: Just Another Monday (Sort of)

*AN- Hey guys, so as I've been getting back into the swing of things I've come to realize I'm having an easier time working on this story than on others. So, as I'm sure you can imagine, this story will be my main focus for a while. I hope any fans of my other stories aren't too upset by this, and if so I sincerely apologize. Eventually I hope to get working on 'Hutch' again, but for now this story will be my focus. Anyway, hope you like the chapter. Enjoy!*

I'd never been so nervous to walk to Eve's office before. Thoughts of self-doubt began creeping up on me with every step. What if I was right and she did say no? What if she didn't care about me the same way I cared about her? Would she still want to be my friend? Would thing become awkward between us? Would Eve try to strangle me for even thinking about asking out her daughter? I didn't even have enough time to contemplate all of it before I heard her voice.

"Hey Hutch, you're here early," she called out sweetly from my right.

"Lilly," I gasped, practically jumping out of my fur. I was so caught up in my thoughts I hadn't even noticed I was passing by her locker. She giggled at my scare.

"You look like you just saw a ghost," she smirked before hiding her face from me. The only time she did that was when she was embarrassed and keeping me from seeing her blush. I thought it was cute. My mind went back to the picture she had sent me, obviously she was trying to get some kind of reaction out me.

"No, just a little anxious," I chuckled nervously. She turned with a smile and raised an eyebrow.

"Anxious?" she asked "Does school scare you that much?"

"Maybe it does," I could tell my the warmth of my cheeks I must've been blushing like an idiot. I felt her tail brush against my leg which grabbed my attention, drawing my gaze towards her. Her beautiful violet eyes were glaring up at me, turning my legs into jelly. Why did she have to be so beautiful.

"Lilly," I started. I reached into my pocket and clutched the ring. "So, I've got something I've been wanting to ask you for a long time. It's taken me a long time to work up the courage to do it, will you-MMPH!"

I didn't even have time to finish my sentence before her arms were around me and our lips connected. I was in shock, but I couldn't help but melt in her arms. Her embrace was so warm and comforting, it was like getting a hug when you really needed it. It almost made me want to cry when she pulled her lips away.

"S-sorry. I-I just couldn't take it any longer. Hutch I love you more than anything in this entire world. I've had the biggest crush on you since we were little and you would come over to play. It was almost infuriating seeing you fall for Kate. I really hope you were going to ask me out, because otherwise I just made this incredibly awkward."

"Well then it's a good thing I was in fact about to ask you out," I chuckled, the widest grin imaginable plastered on my face. I pulled the ring case out of my pocket and presented it to her. "I was going to give you this as well."

"Awe Hutch," her face lit up even more as she took the case and opened it. She pulled the ring out and slid it onto her finger. Luckily enough it was a perfect fit. "You really shouldn't have though."

"Let's just say I happened across it. I also have you something else, but I left it out in my truck."

"Hutch, you're honestly the best!"

The bell rang, signalling the start of first period. The once empty halls almost immediately began bustling with the hundreds of attending students. Jasper High was a large school with over a thousand students enrolled and soon Lilly and I found ourselves in a sea of other students. I volunteered to walk her to class, despite the fact it was on the opposite end of the building to my own. I could tell by the unwavering smile on her face that she was going to be talking about this to her friends for the next several days. All the feelings of doubt I'd had began to wash away.

I'd never seen her so happy before, her smile was practically infectious. I found myself smiling too. Even as we approached her classroom our happiness didn't fade in the slightest. Being a grade under myself, Lilly and I didn't share any classes together. The only time we would see one another through the day was lunch, unless we were to spot one another in the hall between classes.

"Thank you for walking me to class you big dork," Lilly giggled and kissed my cheek. "Have a good day, save me a seat at lunch okay?"

"I'll guard it with my life. You have a good day too," I quickly pecked her on the cheek which caused her cheeks to flush red. She squealed happily and ran into the classroom, hiding her face from me. She was adorable.

"So you actually did it. About time you two got together."

I turned to find Leon leaning beside the door. Leon Mercer, Percy's boyfriend and youngest of our entourage. He was supposed to be a junior, same as Lilly, but when he was in fifth grade he was moved forward a year due to his unbelievable intelligence. He was by far the smartest person in the school, probably in the entire of Jasper City. Shimmering blond fur covered his slim feminine body and a pair of icy blue eyes peered at me with a sense of pride from behind his slim glasses. It wasn't hard to see why Percy found him so attractive.

"I guess Percy told you?" I asked turning to him.

"More or less. He said if you didn't ask her he was going to. It's a good thing you did too, I thought the poor thing was about to give up. Now come on, we need to get to class."

Leon and I shared every class together, and the way he clung near me almost made him feel like a little brother. A very sneaky little brother who liked to disappear a lot.

I could never really understand Leon. He was like a spy or a saboteur. He'd always have dirt on someone in case they ever crossed him the wrong way. More or less blackmailing them to either back off, or he'd let everyone know what skeletons they were hiding. In a way it made me fear him in a similar way I feared Jason. But whereas Jason could grind me into an oil stain, Leon could ruin the way everyone saw me.

In eighth grade there was a kid who bullied him named Troy "Scar" Tackett. Picked on Leon a lot for really no good reason, just didn't like him I guess. So when Leon found out that Troy's mom worked as a stripper, he started spreading rumors that Troy's dad may not have even been his real dad. It got way out of hand. Everyone started mocking him and taking jabs at him, to the point that he ended up moving schools to get away from it. Leon feels bad about it now, but looking back he says it was the right thing to do. None of the school staff seemed interested in doing anything about it, so Leon solved the problem himself. No one ever even knew it was him.

As Leon and I turned into our first classroom, Writing 101, we found ourselves greeted to an almost completely empty room. We were by no means early, in fact we were borderline late.

"Morning Hutch, Leon. Everyone is down at the library getting a head start on their final projects. You can head down there too if you'd like. Here's the prompt," our teacher, Lee Fitzgerald, was one of the most laid back teachers in the school. Since the majority of the class was writing essays, most of our time was spent in the library either doing research or goofing off the whole period.

"I think we'll get right on that, won't we Hutch," Leon gave me a quick look as if urging me to agree with him.

"Uh, yeah, sounds like a plan," I hesitantly nodded.

"No problem, you've got three weeks to complete it. Take your time with it and make sure you cite all your sources." he reminded before waving us off. This wasn't uncommon for us to do, I hated doing homework so any chance I had to do something at school I took it. Though I had a feeling Leon had no intention of either of us doing any actual work.

"Alright Leon, what's up," I asked as we turned into the closest hallway, getting us out of earshot of the open door.

"Hutch, do you find me attractive?"

I nearly choked on my own tongue. For a moment I thought it was simply a question to get my attention, but the look on his face told me otherwise. I felt blood rushing to my face. I was straight, but it wasn't hard to admit that Leon was very attractive.

"Well, I mean I'm not gay or anything, but for a guy yeah, you're pretty cute. W-why do you ask?"

"I've not felt very, well, cute lately. Percy usually talks to me for hours about how adorable I am, but lately he's not been so talkative. I'm scared he's not attracted to me anymore," he shifted uneasily. Leon had a very bad problem with anxiety, and when he was nervous or scared about something he tended to hide. It was exceedingly rare when it happened but when it did you could always tell when it was about to. He would look down, sway from side to side, then bolt away.

Just as he turned to run, I grabbed his hand and pulled him into my chest. He was breathing really fast already. I took a deep calm breath and just stood there for a moment embracing him. For whatever reason Percy and I were the only ones who could calm him down like this. Suppose the rest of the guys just weren't sensitive enough for something like this. It took him a bit to calm down, but eventually I felt his arms wrap around mine and he leaned back into my chest.

"Leon, I promise that Percy loves you more than anything else in the entire world. He's just been going through a lot lately. He talked all weekend about how much you meant to him, and how much he loved you."

"...thank you Hutch." he turned back and kissed my cheek quickly.

"Don't tell him I did that." he blushed as I let go of him.

"I won't tell him as long as you don't tell Lilly."

Though we continued onto the library in silence, I could tell just from the spring in his step that he felt better. Jasper High's library was massive. Two floors and basically taking up a fifth of the schools overall space, it was a relative safe haven for book worms and anyone trying to avoid last period. Leon and I decided to sit at a pair of computers on the second floor, as no one ever really came up there and we figured the peace would be nice.

We wasted no time in starting our research. I felt I'd hardly gotten started by the time thirty minutes had gone by. I slumped back in my chair and let out a sigh. Normally I didn't mind our essays, but this one was going to be a major pain in the ass. Suppose being the final one of the year it would be the worst. I closed my eyes momentarily, wondering if I should just leave them shut and just take a nap. After all, I was tired, and the chair was incredibly comfortable...

But that was a bad thought.

I could feel Leon's tail brushing against mine, probably accidental so I brushed it off as him not paying much attention. Leon tended to get lost in his work, to the point that he fell into a sort of weird trance that almost nothing could break him out of. He more or less became oblivious to the world around him.

"Wha-..." I froze out of shock when I felt a hand on my thigh on my thigh. A chill ran down my spine. What on Earth was he thinking. He didn't say a word though. His left hand remained on the keyboard and continued to type. Did he even realize what he was doing?

"Le-.." looking up I found that Leon was nowhere in sight. Instead, at his computer was Kate, and it was her hand on my leg. I felt a knot in my gut. What the hell was this.

"You know Hutch, I've always found your body very...intoxicating. I know we haven't been the best of friends lately, but I think I know how to make that up to you," sshe whispered before straight up placing her hand on my groin. I nearly yelped and jumped out of my skin when she snagged my zipper. Every synapse in my brain was screaming at me to stop her, to push her hand away, and yet the further she went the more I found myself wondering just how far she was going to go. My face felt visibly red, and an old memories of being in love with her crept into my mind.

It was as if my childhood fantasies were being realized. My crotch twitched with what I can only describe as anticipation as her fingers ever so slowly pulled my zipper down. I bit my lip as her hand wasted no time in gliding into my jeans. I practically shivered when she pulled out hardening length.

"Oh Hutch, you're bigger than Humphrey is." she cooed. For a moment a shred of fear crept up on me. What if someone walked up and saw us? Almost immediately it was replaced with lust as she began to rub my cock.

"F-fuck," I panted. I hated admitting to myself that it felt good. This wasn't right. I was with someone, we both were. I was supposed to be angry at her, to hate her. So why did this have to feel so damn good?

"You can stop me at anytime," she chuckled, almost as if reading my mind.

"..."

"That's what I thought,"she giggled. Kate shifted in her chair and leaned over, and I couldn't help shudder with excitement as her lips kissed the tip of my wolf-hood. She looked down at it as if examining every inch of it, memorizing every single detail about it. My eyes widened as she began to take it into her mouth. My right hand latched itself over my mouth to muffle my gasp while my other found it's way into her beautiful blonde hair.

My entire body tingled and twitched as the warmth of her muzzle engulfed me. I'd never experienced anything like it before. The further her mouth swallowed me the more I wanted, and the less I cared how wrong it was. My ears perked at the subtle moan she made as her nose was pressed into my groin, my whole length now pressed against the back of her throat. I rubbed her head, reassuring her that I was indeed enjoying what she was doing. Slowly she drew back, seeming to savor my taste as my cock now glistened with her saliva.

"You taste so good," she whimpered and began stroking me once again. Now I could see her free hand moving to her own jeans, unfastening them and shoving her hand into them. Through my pants I could hear the ever so faint squelch of her fingers entering her slit. I felt my crotch tingle as the smell hit my nose. It was ever so slightly musky, but not in a bad way. It was enticing, and made me want her even more.

"Kate I...I..." I trialed off as I felt my orgasm building.

"Yes Hutch? .. Hutch...Hutch...HUTCH!"

I bolted awake, falling backwards in my chair from the shock. Leon yelped and jumped backwards. My heart was racing, I felt like I'd just been shot. What the hell was that dream?

"Are you okay?!"

"Leon, I...you...when...what the fuck just happened?"

"You fell asleep a few minutes ago. I didn't want to wake you so I just let you nap it out, but you started making some weird noises. If I didn't know any better I'd almost think you were..." his voice trailed off when the pair of us finally noticed my bulging jeans. I'd never felt so embarrassed in my entire life. I quickly threw my hands over myself.

"SORRY! That dream, I just-"

"Hutch, it happens, you don't have to worry, I won't tell anyone." he blushed helping me up from the ground. My cheeks felt hot enough to boil water. Why the fuck did I just dream about that. What on this earth compelled my brain to think of such a thing.

"T-thanks," I mumbled grabbing for my backpack.

"Come on, the bell rang for second period. We'd better get going." we had a hard time looking at one another. Had I said anything while I was sleeping? I hoped to god not.

That would be another dream I'd have to supress.
