Eddward wakes up at nightfall and stretches. Slipping out of the ginger's embrace and walks into the living room, yawning, to check up on the small wolf. Daniel was gnawing at the cast in his human form as Eddward clears his throat and Daniel looks up guiltily.
"It's itchy..." Daniel whined. "And hot..."
"I am sorry, Mon Cher. Give me a moment" Eddward says walking into one of the rooms and finding a wire hanger. He untwists it and hands it to Daniel "That should solve your itching problem."
Daniel shoved the hanger inside the cast, scratching all over and sighing "Thank you Eddward! How long will I need to wear this cast? I wanna go hunting with you and Kevin again!"
"Hmm, that really depends on how long it takes for wolves to heal" Eddward says thoughtfully tapping gently on the cast.
Daniel shrugged indifferently before remembering "These were in my pack..." He handed Eddward a pile of files, on the top, was a file labeled 'Vincent'
Eddward takes them, curiosity alight in his eyes "Thank you, Mon Petit. You just relax, I am going to discuss this with your brother." Eddward says handing the small wolf a stuffed animal Marie had procured for him.
Daniel happily took the soft toy "That top one is about you, isn't it?"
Eddward nods "Yes, I believe it is. Did you read it, Mon Petit Loup?"
"No... I made it"
Eddward freezes "What do you know, Little Wolf?" he asks quietly, afraid the small boy would reject him completely.
Daniel smiled wide "You loved someone else once long ago... The Evil Man didn't like it when you tried to mate with them and made them sick."
Eddward's eyebrows almost fly off his forehead in surprise and shock. "Yes... Well, I am going to discuss these with your brother" Hhe says in farewell to the small wolf before walking briskly to the bedroom.
Shutting the door, he tries to wake his mate gently "Kevin, Mon Cher… Wake up!" he says sitting on the bed.
"Nooo..."
"Kevin so help me I will not fuck you again for a damn week if you do not wake up this instant" Eddward hisses lowly into the wolf's ear.
Kevin rolled onto his stomach and buried his head under a pillow, the blankets sliding down to his waist and exposing his bare back. "There better be a plate of food in your lap or you better be naked or you being naked holding a plate of food... I prefer the last one actually..."
"That is it." Eddward growls flinging the pillow off of him and smacking him upside the head.
"You are so fucking rude!" Kevin sat up and rubbed his sore head. "Yes dear? Can I help you?"
Eddward sets the files down on the bed "Where did you find these?"
Kevin glanced down at the files "These are the files that I took from the place you were held."
"No shit, Sherlock but I specifically remember dropping these when Pumpkin attacked" Eddward states.
"You're always in a good mood in the mornings..." Kevin sighs. "I found them again with a note that was at the house that exploded when we went back to salvage our stuff."
"You found them?!" Eddward asks skeptically.
"Yeah, they were just sticking out of the burnt dresser. I told you that..."
"I apologize, Mon Amour, my mind was distracted" Eddward says guiltily before leaning forward kissing the wolf.
Kevin kissed him back before pushing back. "What's wrong?"
"Mon Cher, your brother knows practically everything about me..."
"How?!"
"Apparently he put together my file..." Eddward says staring down at it.
Kevin glances at the folder and sighs. "He okay? I mean, I understand but if he was given a different story it could cause some issues… And, let's not forget, why he knows? Who has a file like that?!"
"Yes. he appears fine. What is in the folder is apparently different from what I told you. There is additional information I would need to read but from what he said, someone messed with Pumpkin to drive him insane on purpose" Eddward says thoughtfully, still eyeing the folder.
"Who would do that?"
"I do not know but from what Daniel says the Evil Man did it... Whatever that happens to mean."
"Read that file, tell me what you find. I'm going to check on Daniel." Kevin walks out, leaving Eddward alone to read.
Daniel is in the living room playing with the stuffed frog he had now named his "Froggy".
Kevin walks out to the living room and hears low growling. Smiling, he sneaks his way over to the couch and sees a large lump in the blankets. He pokes what he believes to be the head of this growling beast and laughs as the blanket is pulled off. Daniel appears with his stuffed animal in his mouth.
"Didja name it yet?"
Daniel drops the toy and smiles "Yeah! Froggy!"
"Very original" Kevin laughed. "You better not slit that open. I ain't fixing it. Be careful."
"Eddward would fix it" Daniel pouts going back under the covers.
Kevin chuckles "You have my man wrapped around your little Finger, don't you?"
Daniel said nothing but laughed before popping his head back out. "My teeth hurt..."
"I bet they do, but I got something for that" Kevin kneeled down to his pack and pulled out a small piece of antler, giving it to Daniel. "Be careful and don't choke on it when it gets smaller. I have more" Daniel starts to chew as Kevin sits down on the couch, not bothering his broken leg.
"When will my leg be better?"
"About a week, I'm thinking. Is it itchy?"
"Yeah, Eddward caught me trying to chew on it earlier. He gave me that hanger and it helps a lot!"
"Good, I'm going to get food. Stay here and don't get up unless one of us is with you, got it?"
"Yes, brother" Danny goes back to chewing, happily.
Eddward doesn't even notice when Kevin leaves he is still sitting there pondering the new information and how much he should trust it.
It doesn't take Kevin long to kill a large buck and drag it home. Taking his human form, he chops it up into more manageable pieces more for Daniel than him, but it's nice every once in a while. He brings in the large baggies full of meat and puts all but one in a freezer then sitting next to Daniel with the remaining bag. "Did Eddward come out when I was gone?"
"No, I called for him once but when no one answered I figured he was with you." Daniel popped a large piece in his mouth.
Slight cause for concern and a bit irritated, Kevin held down his emotions. There must have been a reason. "Keep eating, you need your strength. I'm gonna go check Eddward, k?"
Daniel nods continues eating as he watches the older wolf leave. Eddward had been so absorbed with reading and re-reading he doesn't even notice the large wolf come in.
Kevin crawls onto the bed, behind Eddward and nuzzles the back of this neck. The vampire was setting off many different emotions ranging from anger to desperation. It was confusing to the red head "Hey, you okay?"
"I do not know" Eddward says quietly and honestly.
"What does the file have?" Running his hands up and down Eddward's arms, one hand tracing the designs of his mating mark.
Eddward sets it down "Would you like the long or short of it, Mon Amour?" he asks hoarsely.
"Whichever is easier for you... I just wanna make sure that I have all the info."
"His father was behind it..." Eddward says quietly.
"Pumpkin's father? Why would he do that?"
"He always had a problem with our relationship. Apparently he found out we were leaving and that I was changing him. Pumpkin was always too trusting and according to this they got into a fight about it" Eddward explains.
"So he infects his son with it to get him killed?"
"No... To convince him I was the bad guy and gain eternal life from Pumpkin" Eddward explains.
"So now Pumpkin thinks you're an asshole and we can't kill him but he's trying to kill us."
"There is a way to kill him you just have to make it impossible for him to regenerate like I did with Nathan" Eddward points out.
"I'm sure that will be easy... Anything else?"
"There seems to be more but this file is incomplete" Eddward says dropping it on the bed.
"I found that sticking out of a drawer that bad your name in it. That was the only file in there. Probably got left in the shuffle but there are probably many more."
Eddward nods still slightly troubled by the news.
"What do you want to do?"
"I do not know. None of this really matters now, does it?" Eddward says placing his hand over the wolf's, tracing his mating marks.
Kevin kisses up and down his neck, calming Eddward. "I think its good information to have, store it in the back of your mind. You know that you have nothing to do with Pumpkin freaking out. That was all his father."
Eddward calms down considerably at Kevin's kisses "Yes, you are correct. That is one less burden on my shoulders" he agrees.
"Let's forget about the other files for right now. Get dressed and go hunt. There are a few hunting ground around the forest tonight."
Eddward nods "Yes... I think I shall do that."
"Good!" Kevin suddenly bites his neck and sucks out some blood, moaning at the delicious taste.
Eddward falls limp back on the bed into the wolf's touch from pleasure "Ffffffuuuuuuuckkkkk..."
"Once Daniel is asleep, I'm claiming you..." Kevin moves to the back of Eddward's neck, licking and biting softly "... Because you're mine..." He moved his head to the other side of Eddward's neck "... and only mine!" he bites down.
Eddward gasps and moans "Yes, Mon Amour. There is no doubt."
"Go hunt. I've already gone and Danny is probably eaten a whole bag of meat, that pig." Kevin scoots out from behind Eddward and stands, waiting for him to follow him out. "You must have been pretty into that file... Danny said he called for you and you didn't answer."
Eddward sighs "Yes, I apologize. I was just absorbed into it" he admits as he gets up and gets dressed.
"I think he was just bored" Kevin's hands itched to touch that pale white skin... He couldn't wait for tonight
Eddward noticing the wolf's gaze decides to take his time and tease back by slowing his movements and getting dressed slowly as the wolf watched.
"You are a horrible tease, ya know that?" Kevin whined.
"Ah, but Mon Amour, you started it" Eddward says pointing to the bite marks on his neck.
"Well you're so delicious... I just can't help it..." Kevin approaches him and grabs Eddward's hips and brining him in for a kiss. Breaking the kiss, Kevin pulled back "Okay, time to go. Go hunt... We'll be here when you get back."
Eddward nods kisses him one last time, biting the ginger's bottom lip as he pulled back then darted out the window.
"Why did I start that? Why? That was a horribly stupid idea..." Kevin muttered to himself before adjusting himself in his pants and walking out. Daniel was finishing up the bag of mean when he looked at Kevin. "Hey Brother!"
"Hey, you eat your full, Pig?"
"Yup, but my leg itches."
"It's going to, it'll stop once you're healed a bit more" he spots Froggy on the floor and picks him up, immediately noticing a large tear in his back.
"I'm gonna ask Eddward to fix him since you said you won't." Daniel sassed.
"And I'm gonna tell him not to do it cuz you're a brat."
"Nu-uh! You're a brat!" Back and forth, back and forth until Eddward got home. Kevin was 'attacking' poor Daniel with tickling touches and prodding pokes everywhere but always making sure that his leg was untouched and protected. Daniel spotted Eddward and called out "Eddward! Help! He won't leave me alone!"
Eddward steps forward and smacks Kevin upside the head "Mon Cher, you should know better… you are an adult" he says before smoothing the place he smacked.
"He called me a brat!" Kevin whined.
"He called me one first!" Daniel defended before putting on his best pouty lip and producing Froggy. "Eddward, can you fix him? Kevin refuses."
"Awe Mon Petit..." Eddward says taking the stuffed animals in his hands and examining it. "Yes, I believe it will be nothing to fix this" he says thoughtfully.
"Don't fix it! I told him to be gentle with it but he had to be a little shit and not listen. It's what his little ass gets!"
"That hole was there when you took him out of my mouth! It's your fault!"
"Ohh... Whose fault will it be when he disappears?!" Kevin laughed evilly.
"Not my Froggy!" Daniel pouts.
"Yeah, uh-huh, that's what I thought!" Kevin crosses his arms triumphantly.
Eddward smacks Kevin upside the head again his eyebrow twitching in annoyance "you will leave your poor little brother and his little friend alone. Am I understood, Mon Cher?"
"Why are you on his side?! He knew you would fix it!" Kevin defended himself laughing.
"Cuz I'm cute and Eddward loves me!" Daniel snipped.
Eddward smiles "Because he is actually a child where you just act like one" he snickers kissing the red head's temple.
"You're rude" Kevin kisses him back "Fine, you deal with him!"
"Mon Petit, I am only fixing this once. The next time you are fixing it." Eddward warns as he gets one of the stitching needles and threads from the medical supplies and begins fixing it.
"But I don't know how..." Daniel pouts while Kevin leans on the counter watching.
Eddward smirks "That is why you should just be careful with your things and listen to your big brother" he says finishing the last stitch.
"But he feels good on my teeth and gums!"
"That much probably is true. His adult teeth are coming on and it's not a pleasant time. I'll find something better for you to chew on."
"Kay, thank you Eddward" Daniel took the toy from his hands and laid down to chew on his antler fragment.
Eddward smiles as he watches the little wolf, feeling a little at peace between the two gingers.
Kevin was standing at the kitchen island going through the other files. He didn't understand why someone would be pulling all these experiments nor did he know who sent him the files after they were left in the forest.
Eddward feels the confusion radiating off of the ginger so he subtly slides over to him without alerting the little wolf anything is wrong "A penny for your thoughts, Mon Amour?"
"These experiments... I don't understand why someone would do them? I can't even tell if they were successful or not." Kevin stepped back and shivered "Makes me a little sick..."
Eddward steps forward looking over his shoulder "Yes, I do not understand much myself" he agrees before pulling back "Tomorrow I must go get some more supplies from town..." He says thoughtfully.
"Supplies? I thought you just went into town for supplies...?"
Eddward shakes his head "No, I went for medical supplies and blood packs. I need cleaning supplies and new clothes and we both need new packs" he says looking around at the filthy room.
"Buy something sexy to wear for me" Kevin whispers and grins, jokingly.
Eddward smirks "Mon Amour... Who said anything about buying?" he snickers kissing the red head's cheek.
"Buying... Stealing... Same diff. I don't care, just do it" Kevin smirks, grabbing Edd's chin and bringing him in for a proper kiss.
Eddward smirks into the kiss "Oh, of course, anything for you, Love."
"You're so submissive sometimes. I love it." As Daniel sleeps, Kevin runs his hands down Edd's sides and rest on the small of his back.
Eddward notices out of the corner of his eye the little wolf sleeping and smirks "So... You said something earlier about claiming me?"
Kevin smirks again and leads Eddward to their bedroom.
