David's POV
"David! Can't we do something else, please?!"
I smiled as everyone got in place for our game, to my left sat, of course, my pretend boyfriend, Sylus and next to him was his two brothers, both complaining at me that there was something wrong about this game. Looking around, I didn't see a problem, there was Glacier placed next to David and Conrad next to him. Then, in between Conrad and I was Sammy. Almost directly, althought he was technically across from Sammy, was my target.
Louis, a.k.a Lou, a.k.a Honey, a.k.a My Soul Mate.
As he sat down next to Oliver, his apparent payback to me, I growled. Just the proximity of those two, which was nearing zero, was pissing me off, that wasn't including the additional support of Oliver whispering things into Lou's ear and having him giggle and blush in response. I proceeded to growl at that too.
"Why? Everyone else doesn't seem to mind it..." I replied, not even looking at them. I guess that could've been considered disrespectful, but I couldn't care less at the moment, I had better things to look at.
"Because more than half of the people here are guys! Theres only one girl!" Lucas complained, getting a nod from his brother.
I sighed and finally looked at them, but only with my eyes as I looked them over, trying to find out how that was a bad thing. Oh wait, yeah, they're straight aren't they? Hmmmmmmm, oh well!
"Conrad doesn't seem to mind, and he pitches for the same team you guys do" I questioned, looking at the dog and then having Sammy come to my ear.
"Hey, I'm straight too!" He whispered, loud enough for the three of us to hear.
"Sure you are" I smirked, jerking my chin over to Conrad and letting him look over there and blush upon my accusation. I'm a master and getting wolves together, and, inorder to accomplish something like that, you have to be able to spot when two individuals have an eye for each other. It was as clear as day that Sammy was having feelings for the dog, a member of the species he had sworn to hate.
It was quite romantic and it was all thanks to me for locking them up in that den together. If only my love life was so simplistic...I found myself contemplating, briefly, on locking Lou and I up in a den together and seeing what would happen. But then some rather inapropriate thoughts and images of Lou popped into my head so I ditched the idea.
"I am not gay!" He growled, stomping his paw down into the dirt for emphasis.
"Could've fooled me" I replied, winking at him.
He turned his head to Conrad, almost examining him. Perhaps to figure out if he truly was attracted to him. Then, an image of those two cuddled up popped into my head Sammy of course having his head under Conrad's...or would it be vice versa? Wait, who would be the male in that relationship? I looked back at Conrad as he stood tall and straight compared to Sammy, who had his back hunched and ears down with a noticeable blush staining his cheeks, perhaps he came to a conclusion?
Yup, Conrad would be the male in the relationship, I concluded. It was then that I had an image of those two cuddling up and watching the sunset together, huddled together for warmth. I tried to imagine Lou and I doing that but I came to the conclusion that he would rather push me away than watch the sunset together. But that would be fine, so long as I could kiss him right afterwords.
"Ok, who wants to start?" I asked, seeing that everyone was ready and all but two wolves were willing.
Looking around the circle, everyone avoided my gaze, even Sylus. No one wanted to go first. I then looked at the poor little innocent squirrel in the middle. The poor little guy looked terrified to be surrounded by all of these meat eaters, despite having been convinced by Conrad that he wasn't going to harmed in anyway. We chose Conrad because he was the one that came off as the nicest of us.
"Ok, fine, I'll go first" I said, the looking at the poor little squirrel as I gingerly grabbed his small frame and spun him around and his tail went straight outwards.
I watched eagerly as the poor creature spun around. Secretly hoping it would land on Lou and we could finally share a kiss. I briefly considered talking to the squirrel to see if he could do anything about it, perhaps rig the game so I could get Lou twice! Then he would have to use tongue! Mmmmmmm tongue with Louis...my Honey...No! No! Stop it...
"Oh..." Marcus gasped, paying attention to who the squirrel's tail landed on.
I looked down at the squirrel and followed its tail to the person on my left. I was left smirking as I didn't need to look to know who it was. It may not have been Lou, but this sure was a good chance to get him jealous.
"Pfft, you cheated didn't you?" Glacier accused, seeing that the squirrel had landed on Sylus. If I had been really dating him, I might've rigged it a little to kiss him, but this, this was just a happy accident.
"Who did it land on?" Conrad asked, only to be told by Drake a second later, "Oh...yeah, he cheated"
I scoffed and looked at Sylus, who stared down at the squirrels tail and blushed upon the sight. He looked up at me innocently as if to ask "are we really doing this?" I winked at him in response and wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling him close so our pelts were touching. His paws went to my chest and he looked up at me with an innocent face, highlighted with the flushing of his cheeks. If I hadn't been in love with Lou, I might've just made mine him right here and now.
"I guess I'm just lucky..." I replied, giving a glance to Lou who was watching us, despite being nuzzled by Oliver, I silently congratulated myself on making him jealous before pressing my lips against Sylus'.
He shook as I tipped his head back and pressed our lips together, making a slight squeak as I enveloped him. Through my slightly opened eye lids, I saw Lou staring at us, the jealousy all over his face. My paws drifted even further downwards as they threatened to go into forbidden territory, egging Lou on as well as making Sylus sound all the more cuter as he was being felt up. His lips were soft and his body heat wasn't helping his situation. I knew this was a game, so before the situation became to heated, I quickly parted our lips with a gasp from Sylus.
He looked contemplative, like he might've enjoyed that; his eyes searching the ground and avoiding his brothers' gazes as they looked dumbfounded at the show that had just occured. I smirked and kept my paws around his waist as he slowly regained his composure and acted only slightly flustered.
"Wow..." Drake whistled, smirking at the show.
"Oh god..." Lucas gasped, probably thinking about what he would have to do if the squirrel landed on him.
"Cheater..." Lou growled, looking away.
"What? You wanted to be the one that spun landed on?" I asked, smirking and licking my lips at the wolf.
"Pfft, you wish, just let the next wolf go so we can be done with this stupid game!"
I made a slight note of the way he wasn't looking at me and looked at Sylus to continue the game. He was still trying to deal with what had just happened to him. In an effort to get him back to the real world, I nuzzled him affectionately, giving him a slight peck on the cheek. He wakes up from his trance and it was just then that I realized that I must've been his first kiss. In spite of feeling proud to be his first, I also felt bad; he was probably saving that for someone special.
"Your turn, Sweetheart" I spoke softly, not wanting to startle him anymore than he already was.
"O-oh, okay!" He responded, quickly grabbing the furry creature and spinning him with a squeak from the rodent.
I watched him as the squirrel spun. He didn't dare look at who it was going to land on, he just stared at his paws. He was still flustered. Either that or in shock.
The I heared Sammy yell: "Oh come on! You're so damn cheating!"
Sylus and I both looked at the squirrel and it looked at me, terrified. It landed on me. Oh Sylus must be feeling like he's about ready to die by now. I turned to the smaller wolf as he stared in disbelief at where the squirrel had landed, he followed the pointing tail slowly until he met my eyes and I smiled charmingly at him. He looked just as terrified as the last time that we had to kiss. But also just as adorable.
"Like I said," I replied, grabbing the male again by the waist that I had not a minute ago let go, "Just my luck"
"Wait, if it landed on him, then doesn't that mean they use tongue?" Conrad asked innocently, talking to David as he gave him play by play of what was happening.
I didn't even need to glance at Lou to tell how he was feeling. I could almost sense the fustration he was admitting. However, I did look over just for a second and he too was staring at the squirrel in disbelief. I smirked and kissed the smaller wolf beside me, inserting my tongue into his mouth first thing. He squeaked and blushed even worse than the first time I kissed him. Opening his mouth slightly and letting me enter to explore every nook and cranny of his muzzle. I had to make this look legit, in order to make Lou jealous.
Through my slightly opened eyes, I stared at Lou, seeing the wolf look almost mad. Scrap that, he looked pissed. His beautiful eyes were glaring at me, almost like he knew I was looking at him. His claws were slightly digging into the dirt below him, making a mark on the earth. All the while, Oliver was looking at him harmlessly. Then my eyes shifted to the wolf I was kissing. His cheeks were the perfect shade of red that a blush should be, his eyes were closed and his paws were placed ever so lightly on my chest, gently rubbing where they were as he was taken by me.
He really was a cutie.
Halfway through the kiss, Lucas and Marcus got up and called it quits, walking away to go find something else to do in the party. I suppose they got to worried about what it would be like to kiss another male. Either that or they were just weirded out by their brother making out with another guy. Either way, it was pretty funny.
Slowly, I took my tongue from his muzzle, feeling him gasp yet again as we seperated in the kiss. There I was, taking another kiss from this poor wolf. He agreed to help me do this and I promised to not break any boundaries. I broke it. Yet, I was strangely happy I did. After staring at the wolf longer than I probably should have, I turned to the other wolves to wait who was going to go next, meanwhile, keeping a close eye on Sylus' condition.
Sammy's POV
Two spins in, two wolves out. I watched as Marcus and Lucas walked away, going into the crowd far off in the distance and joining the mass, becoming part of the growing cloud. I then looked back to David, making out with their brother as he shook and blushed harder than any wolf I've ever seen David kiss.
It became a sight I'm used to, David kissing males and females. It was often what happened whenever we came to one of these parties, or sometimes came across a wolf out in the middle of nowhere and he just clicked. I briefly recalled a single time we once were hunting for the pups when he came across a lone male wolf, he was struggling to find something to eat. David gave him the rabbit that he had caught and went out to get the kids even more food. That night, David kissed him and they dated for a while, but ultimately they broke up and David went on looking for the perfect mate.
There were many females as well, all encountered for a different reason. One was desperate for shelter, he took her in and kissed her. One was traveling with her pack and ventured with us and the orphans, he fell for her at first sight. But it all ended the same.
I turned to Lou, watching angrily as David kissed one of his friends. This was the one for him. Never before has David gone to such lengths to be with someone, and never before had he been turned down so many times. He was in love with him.
As they seperated, Lou went back to his original self and went back to nuzzling Oliver, but I could tell he was still paying attention to David and what he was doing. David then turned to us all and jerked his chin towards the squirrel, quietly telling us to keep playing. I gulped, soon it would have to be my turn, then I would have to kiss one of these guys or Glacier. I didn't feel comfortable kissing any of them though! Glacier was a good friend of mine and I didn't want to ruin that friendship! David would be even worse, and the rest of the guys I barely knew. There might have been one exception though.
"My turn!" Drake spoke up, smirking, "I think you guys should know that if Sirius were here, I would have so cheated"
With that, he spun the furry creature. I was nervous that it might be me, I was more nervous at the fact that sooner or later, someone would watching me as I spun the squirrel and then when they saw it land on them they would have to kiss me.
"Conrad!" Drake cheered, raising his arms in the air.
I looked at Drake, having to follow his eyes as he looked to the squirrel's tail and then to who it was pointing. My recent friend, Conrad. His ears perked in alarm as his name was shouted. He turned to Drake and tilted his head, obviously oblivious to what had just happened.
"Drake spun on you Conrad" David answered, smirking and turning to me like I would care.
"Oh, okay" He replied, not really seeming phased that he, a straight guy, was about to kiss another man.
I looked for any change in his demeanour; a slight flushing of the cheeks, nervous twitches, rustling of his paws, nothing! He didn't seem to care that he was about to do it. He must've been perfectly calm, but if so, why was my heart the one that was racing? I looked at Conrad's emotionless face as Drake lined up with him and informed him that he was going to kiss him. Even when they were leaning in, there still wasn't a change in emotion.
But there was a change in mine.
I raised my hand to my cheek and go feel the heat radiating off of it. I was blushing? Then I noticed something else, my head had unknowningly become furrowed as David examined me. Unknown to me, he was carefully watching my reactions when Conrad was being kissed by another man. I clenched my paw and curled it into what some would call a fist, my claws slightly digging into the pads of my paw. It should've hurt with the amount of pressure I was applying, but I didn't feel a thing. All I felt was longing and anger. I lost some of my breath. I felt mad...
I had to turn around and walk away a bit, get away from the circle. I felt short of breath and I couldn't think straight. Perhaps I was sick? Yeah that must've been it, I should go to see someone about it. As I started to want to walk away, I felt the need to stay. Like I was tied and that I shouldn't leave soon because I was missing something that I had forgot. No, this was stronger than that, it was as if I wasn't whole self, like I was about to leave a part of myself.
Confused about my feelings, I turned back around to catch Drake and Conrad seperating from their kiss. Drake looking overally pleased with himself and chuckling even. I got even more made. I didn't know it but David had also just detected the slightest hint of a growl eminating from my throat and he was glaring at me, already starting to come to a conclusion.
"Not bad Conrad...you're sure you haven't kissed someone else before?" asked Drake, getting back to his orginal sitting position.
So that was Conrad's first kiss?
He shook his head, confirming that Drake was indeed his first kiss. Which made my emotions go in another direction. As Conrad took his turn and spun the squirrel, all I could think about was how suddenly my emotions were changing and for a reason unknown to me. It was like sitting back and watching someone else steer you around, watching someone control everything your body did. Or in that split second of contemplation when you say something you didn't mean to say, but for me, it wasn't a split second, more like a full minute.
My eyes felt unfocused and eventually everything became blurry as I was lost in thought, I thought I heard David say by name but I didn't listen. I didn't respond and I didn't care that I didn't. This was so unlike me! I must've been sick, theres no reason that I should be acting like this, it felt like I was in a deep state of depression. But I had nothing to be sad about, all that happened was Conrad getting kissed! Why should I care about what happens to him? As I thought that I felt my eyes start to water ever so slightly, not nearly enough to make a single tear but barely enough to be noticed by someone who was looking. My voice became shaky as I tried to respond to David, but nothing came out. I felt at war with myself. Voices started to eminate from everyone around us, trying to get my attention, only one managed to pull me out of my immersion though.
"...Sammy..."
It was Conrad. The voice was light and echoed in my head like that of a someone transcendent, whispering in your ear and echoing in you being. Eminating a voice that would carry on with you for the rest of your life. It seemed to come out of nowhere, that one word, my moniker that had been said to me so many times before, but not nearly as beautiful or held as much meaning as it did when it was said by that single individual. It felt like I was hearing it the first time.
The moisture from the water that I was bathing in at the lake still clung to my fur as I stood there like someone trapped in his own body. But even then, I could still feel the paws go up to my flushing cheeks and wipe some of it away. Not one second later, I felt the pair of lips press against mine.
Then everything was agust; clear and translucent as to what was happening. Like a gentle breeze suddenly blowing away the fog that blinded me, I found myself with my lips pressed against Conrad's. Awakened by the feeling of those lips meeting mine. His eyes were closed and I could now tell that the paws on my cheeks were his. I felt one individual heart beat as our chests pressed together, beating together and then all of the heat in my cheeks left and I found myself kissing him back.
I was once again watching someone else control my own body, but I didn't mind in the slightest. It was nothing else but the two of us, the others being lost in the refulgent light that seemed to cover Conrad and I as I gained back my senses and everything started to make sense again. I gained control of my body and the white light that seemed to surround Conrad and I in our own little convient dimension was gone, there stood the others, watching us.
Even as he parted our lips, the feeling remained. My head hurt from all of the emotions trying to catch up with me, but even then, I felt better than I ever had. A dog, my sworn enemy, had just kissed me and it became abundantly clear that I enjoyed it. I had often thought of what love had felt like; seeing David being in love all the time was something that caused my piqued curiosity. I began to want to crave that feeling that he had felt. But I never imagined it to be like this.
"Sammy, you okay?" David asked, coming closer to me in caution as to how quiet I was.
Conrad stood before me, waiting for my answer, but it took a minute or so for David's words to reach me, as far off as I was in my own little world. He was a dog, yet I looked at him with no hate, only admiration and respect. It wasn't the matter that he made me feel good, although he did that too. It was that I trusted him, which sounded idiotic in my head, To trust, admire and respect someone of a species that I vowed to get vengence on and hadn't known for more than two days sounded utterly insane! To be straight and in love with a man, yet not care about his sex in the slightest.
"H-huh?" I asked, looking at David and feeling light headed, my heart pounding in my chest as I had just begun to notice it.
"Sammy," Conrad spoke, grabbing my paw with his ever so gently and bringing it up to his nose, sniffing quietly, "You're bleeding."
I looked at my paw, slowly turning it around and seeing that the pads of my paws had gotten pierced deeper by my own claws than I had orginally thought. There was no pain though, I moved it around like it was nothing.
"I am..." I concluded, "I don't feel anything though" I replied, looking at Conrad and not wanting to worry him.
"Come on, lets go find something for this" Conrad suggested, nudging me away from the group.
I nodded, partially because I didn't want to disagree with him, but mostly because now I could spend more time with him. I felt renewed, reborn. Like there was suddenly a new me who had an entirely different thought process.
"Sammy!" David called out as Conrad and I left the circle, turning around, our eyes met and he slowly approached, putting a stop to the game entirely before examining me closely.
He was looking for some kind of change and evidently he found it, because once his eyes met mine, he smiled like an idiot, "Never mind, carry on." And so I did, my tail wagging in excitement and happiness for the first time in ages. I smiled as I walked with Conrad, while he didn't know it, I smiled like an idiot next to him and remembered the feeling of his lips pressed against mine.
Lou's POV
I raised an eyebrow at Sammy's mysterious behavior and even more so when David was coming back, a smirk on his face that didn't dissapear until Sammy and Conrad dissapeared into the forest together, looking for something to help mend his wound.
"What's with the smirk?" I asked, looking at David as he had a little perk in his step.
"Oh, nothing. I'll tell you all later once I'm absolutely sure. Just hurry up and go, whoever is next" David replied, trying to rush the game.
"I've got this!" Oliver spoke up from my side, raising his paw politely, "I always get who I want in this game! I bet you can guess who I want to, right Louis?"
He used my full name? How unusual, wait, where did he learn my full name?! I didn't tell it to him, did I? Ignoring it, I watched him spin the squirrel and I saw him cheat to. Craftfully, he took the squirrel as it already was (pointing at Sammy's previous location) and spun it with exactly enough force to go around only half way of a full 360 degrees, to the point where it pointed at the individual who was directly across from him, which was me.
I looked around, seeing if anyone else had caught it, but everyone else was still looking where Conrad and Sammy had gone, still questioning Sammy's abnormal behavior. The only one who was paying attention was David. He was always paying attention. He looked at me strictly, meanwhile Oliver was waiting for me to respond.
David didn't dare bring it up, it would just be his word against Oliver's. And with the terrible coincidences going on, I doubt they would take David seriously. He was waiting to see if I was going to call out his cheating. I felt like I should, it was a game after all and there shouldn't be cheating. But this was the perfect time.
After watching David kiss a man, and thinking throughout the duration of his how he had told me I was his soul-mate and when you're someone's soul-mate you don't kiss someone like that! I mean how could he?! He took me into his arms the first time we met and tried to kiss me! He built me a heart made out of roses and was so romantic and then he just kisses one of my friends?!
I smirked at him, then turning to Oliver and smiling at him. Looking him up and down and seeing his attractive body. His was slightly more rugged and outstanding than David's, but I've been pressed against David's body more than enough to tell that they were about the same amount of well builtness. Its just Oliver's showed more.
"Hehehe, well would you look at that?" I asked, slightly raising my voice enough to the point where the others could turn their attention to me and see the evidence that the squirrel's tail was pointing at me.
David's expression grew to one of disbelief, his upper eye lid dropping down slightly at my reaction and his lower lip quivering ever so slightly. Nobody else would have seen it if they tried, but I had seen David's emotions before, rapidly changing from one to another. He was dissapointed in me, that I would let this happen. But he deserved it, that asshole.
"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" Drake laughed, "This is such bullcrap! Next time we play this, I swear if I don't get Sirius, I'm calling this game rigged! And we're playing with an acorn next time!"
"Or maybe," I started, then turning to David and trying to emphasize just how pissed I was, "I'm just that lucky"
He flinched, staring at me in disbelief and drawing the attention of Sylus. Our recent friend looked at his boyfriend with worry and the constant blush of his cheeks was still present even after their kiss that angered me so much. He then looked at me, his face reflected exactly what he was thinking, and exactly what I was thinking. What was I doing?
As I felt Oliver place his paws on my hips and I wrapped my arms around his broad neck, I contemplated why I was willing to go so far to get back at David. He pissed me off for suddenly going out with Sylus sure, but why was I so pissed off?
As Oliver leaned down and time seemed to slow, I briefly pondered what it would be like to have David's arms around my waist. Holding me as tightly as Oliver did and wanting the same thing that Oliver did. But that was impossible, because David wouldn't hold me like Oliver was, he would grip me so demandingly, but rather more gentle and carressing. He wouldn't look at me with those hungry eyes full of lustful intention, but rather with care and concern at my actions, wondering if I wanted the same thing. He wouldn't press his lips against mine as Oliver was about to do in order to claim me, but to show how much he cared for me and wanted to show me just how much he did and size me up as his possible and undeniable soul-mate as he claimed.
But the one thing he would do, is suddenly lunge at Oliver.
It was swift, fast and hard. Suddenly, there was a roar from David's position as my eyes closed and I was just mere inches away from kissing my pretend boyfriend. He pounced at Oliver, grabbed him by the scruff and through him across the clearing, growling at him and leaving all of us in shock. He was unbridled rage incarnate. Everyone stopped, stopped breathing, stopped moving, stopped talking and observed David as he stood in front of me and growled at Oliver as he himself was just now coming to his senses.
I looked at David, his body covering me from Oliver's sight protectively like a mate would a challenger. I felt protected, I felt giddy that he was so eager to protect me. But then that fleeting moment of admiration and thankfulness faded away as it turned to anger.
"David! What the hell?!" I yelled, backing away from him.
"Get your god damn paws off of him!" David roared, his fangs showing and shining as his hackles and tail rose to face his challenger.
A few members of the party that were closest to us were suddenly rushing over to Oliver's aid, helping him up and then asking him questions. Oliver wasn't paying attention, he glared at David with hate. His fangs showed and he raised his tail just as David did, both of them approaching each other and getting ready.
I was the cause of this, I realized. I didn't want to be the cause of all of this and I couldn't see David get hurt. I ran, ran as fast as I could with the other's voices dissapearing in the distance. There was the only one that rang in my ears as I ran, David's, filled with worry and care. But as I ran, I just remember not hearing Oliver's voice and realizing that he didn't, in fact, care about me.
David's POV
"Louis! Louis!" I called, putting my fangs away as I worried about the wolf as he suddenly ran away.
I was too busy worry about him to notice Oliver running at me, to notice the utter hate in his eyes. As I saw that wolf I loved running away, Oliver jumped at me but was then suddenly pushed aside by Drake, I barely noticed him when he pinned the wolf down by the back of his neck and held him there. I slowly turned to Drake and saw him smirking at me and my eyes lowered to Oliver, seeing him snapping his jaws at me.
"David! You peace of crap!" Oliver roared, glaring at me with all the hate he could muster.
I looked at him, trying to decide what to do, I wanted to chase after Lou, to apologize for my sudden outburst of rage. I didn't know what came over him, but when I suddenly saw Lou lean in to kiss this guy, who had no intent of ever giving him the love he deserved. He only wanted to make me jealous, to see me hurt as he took my one true love away. To see him accomplish that task and steal Lou's first kiss was something I couldn't take, and I snapped.
"I've got him, love bird! Got get Lou!" Drake assured, giving me a slight wink.
I smiled at him, thankful of his assistance and making a note to thank him later. But before I went after Lou, I had something I wanted to get off my back. I turned to Oliver, leaning down towards him and looking him dead in the eyes.
"You know, you've stolen the people I've fallen for before, I didn't care about that. I know why too," I confided, watching him glare at me and hearing him growl, "But when you try to take him from me, that is when I draw the line. I love him and I could care less if you want to hurt me, just please, leave Lou out of it"
With that, I left, leaving him to think about my words as I ran towards Lou.
I memorized his scent long ago so it wasn't hard to track him. Although I found his movements to be sporadic, I soon found him, resting and leaning against a fallen tree trunk, panting and covering his face with one of his paws. I approached slowly, being wary of his reaction to seeing me at the moment.
"Lou..." I spoke softly, getting his attention.
He removed his paw that was covering his face and looked at me, looking mad as hell and breathing weirdly. I stopped where I was, just watching him. I never wanted him to look at me like that, to see him so mad at me and looking like he hated me. He was probably the last person on this earth that I wanted to hate me.
"You..."
"Lou, I came to see if you're okay, you ran off so quickly, I got worried"
"Go away" He whispered, turning his back to me, "You're the last person I want to see right now"
I whimpered, no, I didn't want to hear that. I approached him, wanting to do something to make him take that back, but then he did something I didn't expect. He hit me, right across the jaw with his paw. It somewhat resembled a punch but was more lax and hurt just as much. I instantly felt my head move with the punch and I was stunned, the pain in my lower jaw dulling after the sting and going numb. Slowly, I brought my paw up to where I was hit and pulled it back down, seeing a very small amount of blood.
"I said go away!" He yelled.
I looked at him, awestruck. He was raging, his face red and his eyes streaming tears down his face, all the while he was looking at me accusingly. I shook it off though, grabbing his wrists and holding them up above his head. Once he felt my paws on him, he started struggling, yelling at me and cursing my name in the worst way he could manage.
"God damn it, David! Let me go! You asshole! Don't touch me!" He yelled, glaring at me.
"Lou, please, don't do this, why are you so mad?!" I asked, gently.
"You kissed him!"
Huh? Kissed who?! I thought and then I remembered the only person I kissed recently, Sylus. Why would he be mad about that? I thought he didn't feel anything for me?
"Sylus?" I asked, just to confirm.
"Yes! I-I thought that I was the only one for you...but you kissed him...you asshole..."
He grew slack in my hold, not resisting me anymore. With his head lowered, he started to sob and then that sobbing turned into crying. I watched him, not sure what to do but let him get it out. Slowly, I let go of his wrists and he just let them fall to the floor, supporting his weight below him as he sniffled.
"I-I thought you loved me"
"I do"
He growled and looked up at me, his face even more ridden with tears than before. He picked up his paws, curling them into fists and continuing to slam them down onto my chest as hard as he can. It knocked the wind out of me, almost leaving me gasping for air. If it hadn't been for the worry on his face that caught my attention, I probably would have.
He repeatedy slammed his paws down on my chest, over and over again. Yelling and letting his tears fly as well as his fists. I just watched him. As my chest hurt and ached, I knew it was going to bruise badly. It was going to hurt for quite a while. But it didn't hurt nearly as much as his words. He thought I didn't love him, he thought I betrayed him.
The whole idea of being with Sylus was to make him jealous, but I didn't want to hurt him. I wanted to make him regret not being with me, to notice what it was like when I wasn't around him. But I hurt him. I deserved this, the aching of my chest, and the pain in my heart.
"You're an asshole! You god damn liar!" He repeated, saying either when he hit me.
I watched his tear stained face as he hammered away at me, he looked so feeble, so innocent and yet hurt as he pounded my chest, and I remained as motionless as a statue, just looking down at him. I deserved all of this hurt, because I hurt the one person that I loved. My soul-mate hated my guts and he was right, I was an asshole. But...
"You're an idiot" I spoke up, with the little amount of air I had left.
He stopped, ceasing his movements and he left his paws balled up in a fist on my chest. As he looked up at me, with that beautiful tear stained face that I had fallen in love with, I took the only chance I had, to prove to him that I still loved him, to prove to him that he was the only one for me. I lifted my paw to his cheek as he pressed my lips against his.
I kissed him.
Our first kiss.
He squeaked as I did so, his previously slack body going stiff. His paws that were on my chest suddenly went soft and he pressed them softly against my chest, rubbing the spots that were aching. It stung a little, but the feeling of his lips were more than capable of dulling that pain. At first, I thought he was going to hit me again, as hard as he could across the muzzle and end what we had of a relationship.
But he didn't, instead, he relaxed slightly. I ventured even further and wrapped my spare arm around him, pulling him closer so our chests were pressed together and my tail grabbed his, intwining together as I held him close. He was kissing back... closing his eyes, as his lips matched mine in the amount of force we were using. While he still sniffled, my paw that was on his cheeked moved up and wiped the tears from his eyes and I pressed him up against the fallen log.
I had no idea how long it lasted, but it felt like an eternity, and I didn't want it to end. He confirmed what I was suspecting since the moment I met him. He truly was my soul-mate and I really did love him.
Slowly, he parted lips with me and opened his eyes, revealing them to be red from the tears that he had been letting flow. They were still slightly watering and when I wiped them away he blushed even harder, looking down at our joined pelts.
"You're the only one I could ever truly love" I said, raising his head and pressing our lips together again, it was short, sweet and only helped to emphasize my point. But it also felt amazing to kiss him.
"David, I don't know how to love a man..." He replied, looking at me in the eyes as I looked back, his smaller figure shaking in my hold, "I'm not sure what to do for you..."
"You just let me worry about that" I told him, bringing him into a hug and rubbing his back, feeling sore from the hammering he gave me, but that didn't matter right now.
"I'm going to be a burden if we do this. I'm scared of everything in the world. Snakes, heights, spiders, lizards, tight spaces, everything..." He cried, burrying his head into my shoulder as I comforted him
"Thats fine..." I told him, grabbing his paw in mine and gripping it tight, "Because the safest place for you, is right here in my arms"
