"Good morning passengers and welcome to Qantas. We do hope you enjoy your flight to the lovely Australia with our pit-stop to Hong Kong on the way. The flight will be twelve hours before stopping to refuel and then it will continue on for the other ten hours. Thank you for choosing Qantas and enjoy your flight. Follow the safety procedures if emergency is needed. Take care and relax." The intercom then crackled out and the plane began buzzing with conversation. Small at first, but then it eventually built up.

Tala nestled back in his seat and yawned. He just wanted this darn plane to get off the ground and take him to Australia! Mann procedures are boring! He closed his ice blue eyes and felt Wolborg's wet nose nuzzle against him.

He opened his eyes a crack and looked to his friend, the white wolf wagging his tail and barking in excitement. The lights had gone off, meaning they were on their way to get on the run-way. Tala grinned. "Finally, they're getting this thing off the ground and into the air." He cuddled Wolborg's neck and gripped. He wasn't a fan of flying but he would have to grin and bear it.

He yelped when his ears began to throb and pound against his brain as the plane took off from the run-way and into the air, gaining higher altitude each passing second. The plane then flew smoothly through the air, heading for their half-way stop; Hong Kong.

Thursday morning had come with a very slow start to the day as the sun began deciding whether to rise completely over the horizon or not. It set the city of Melbourne in ablaze of orange as many people emerged from their houses or apartments to begin the day at work or school… or both.

Chadwick had awoken with Sheila jumping about and licking his cheek. She barked so happily at her master and wagged hereof tail from side to side. She barked with excitement again to get him out of bed. She watched Asher master sat up slowly and looked to his special girl, smiling as she sat on the bed and waited for him.

Chadwick sat up Against his bed-head and looked from Sheila to his bedside table where his clock was situated. He blinked a couple of times as he read the red numbers. "Seven o'clock. We've got an hour to get to work, bub." He told Sheila, smiling as his girl jumped about and off the bed.

She was eager to get to her master's work. The girls that had their breaks divided always loved to see Sheila. She would bound about out the back where there was plenty of fun space for her while her master was hard at work preparing bread, kneading dough or helping Julia to make mince beef pies.

Sheila jumped from the bed and bounced around, barking and whining happily at Chadwick. Tomorrow morning Tala and Wolborg will have arrived from Russia. Sheila had known they were coming as she had never seen her master so excited before. She may only be eight months old but she could read her master already like an open book.

Chadwick left Sheila bounding around and headed for the bathroom. He needed to get in the shower before work. And then in the shower after work. He would be covered in flour, dough and various other things by the time he was finished at work. He absolutely loved his new job.

He had learned a few new things about his job, he handled the customers well and always knew that if they couldn't decide he would often decide for them. Just with a friendly gesture and then a kind and warm smile. The girls he worked with absolutely adored him. They knew he was… well you know. But that's what they loved about him. He was so kind, polite and he never picked a fight with the customers. As they say, the customer is always right.

Chadwick had learned how to make bread, doughnuts, cakes, buns and pies. His manager had helped him with the pies, seeing as they seemed the most difficult for the boy at this time. He was never quite sure how to fill them without filling them too much. But he was still learning.

Chadwick left the bathroom door open a crack and began to undress. He ran the hot water in the shower and then the cold to make it nice and even… nice and warm. He ran his hands underneath the warm water and closed his eyes in contention, moving and stepping in under the warm water.

In another twenty-one hours, Tala would be in Australia. He knew Tala and Wolborg would be stopping over in Hong Kong so the plane could get a chance to refuel. But still, he was so excited. Chadwick smiled his handsome smile and allowed the water to run evenly down his naked body.

He sighed in contention and knew he was feeling slightly… hard as he normally did when he began to think of his red haired crush. He had known about all of the internet relationship stories and knew some people were really thirty instead of eighteen and whatnot. Chadwick was a little edgy at having the internet at first glance, but he finally gave in to its temptations and began to go on the sites he had heard about.

Some, he would admit, were crap. Others were just plain obvious for predators. He then found one site that had caught his fancy. It was a bi-chat for bi guys and girls. He clicked into the site and found himself talking to this amazing man. This amazing person. Tala08. He smiled at this new guy and began to chat to him. Cautiously at first but then built up speed and slowly gave this new person his slight trust.

A few weeks had gone by and Chadwick and Tala had become close. Very close in fact that they needed to meet one another. That's when all of this was arranged and now Tala and his wolf, Wolborg, were coming to visit.

Chadwick leaned his forehead against the tiles of the shower and reached down to his man, giving it a few tugs before he decided that he would do that tonight. 'I can't get horny and worked up before work. That's just not right.' Chadwick shook it off and began to wash his body, lathering it in the soap he bought a couple of nights ago.

Once he felt clean enough, he closed his amethyst eyes as the water ran down his naked body and swirled down the drain with the soap suds and whatnot. He placed the face washer back to its holder and reached for the taps. He stopped when he remembered he needed to wash his hair.

He then became deep in thought. 'I should wait until tonight. It's only going to get messy and dirty at work, then it'll be a mess.' He nodded to himself and shut the taps off and stepped out of the shower. He reached for his thick, fluffy, red towel and began to dry himself off.

Once he was dry, Chadwick stepped out of the bathroom with his hair slightly combed and his teeth cleaned. He grinned at his girl as she looked up at him from her spot on the bed. "Time to get dressed and then head to work." At the mention of the word 'work' Sheila began to bound up and down and barked happily at her master.

He pulled out a clean white shirt, a pair of black trousers, a pair of warm white socks and his plain leather black shoes. These were much more comfortable than the ones he had to wear while working at KFC. He slipped on a pair of black boxers, then his trousers, socks and shoes. He then pulled his shirt on and buttoned it up, one button at a time.

Once he had his shirt buttoned and his trousers done up as well as his shoes, he and Sheila headed for the front door. Chadwick placed his wallet, keys and annoying mobile in his pocket and took Sheila's collar and leash from the hook behind the door. He buckled the collar around her boofy neck and grinned at her, attaching the leash to her collar.

Chadwick then opened the door, making sure the windows and such were locked. He then shut the door behind him and locked it, placing his keys back into his pocket and chuckling when Sheila began to tug at her leash for Chadwick to hurry up. He got the message clean and clear and followed Sheila out of the apartment blocks and onto the streets.

Chadwick shivered slightly. 'I should have grabbed my jacket.' He told himself as Sheila led him to the bakery. 'At least it will be warm inside.' He told himself and stopped when Sheila popped in through the bakery doors, Julia smiling at their arrival.

Chadwick nodded to her. "Morning, Julia." He said politely and let Sheila off of her leash, the puppy bounding around and barking happily. Two of the girls squealed and began to hug Sheila, cooing and kissing her head and neck. They absolutely adored her! Chadwick grinned at Sheila and followed Julia into her office.

"Alright, Chadwick." Julia began and sat herself down, smiling when Chadwick set himself down opposite her. "I want you to serve the customers today. The girls have just finished making a fresh loaf of bread with plenty more to come. I need you to keep Sheila outside because we have the health and safety inspector coming around today." She finished and took a sip of water from her glass on the desk.

Chadwick nodded. He knew Sheila loved to play outside with the girls. But if the health and safety inspector was coming around and saw Sheila… it'd be goodbye to the bakery. "I understand and I shall keep Sheila outside." He smiled and stood up. "Do you mind if snag something to eat? I haven't eaten yet." He asked and smiled when Julia nodded. "Thanks. I'll pay for it." He said and walked out, stopping mid-way out the door. "Oh… Julia?" He asked, gaining a glance from her. "Do you mind if I take tomorrow and the weekend off? I have someone coming over from overseas." He finished and turned to her.

She wasn't angry, mad, upset… anything. She simply smiled and nodded. "Of course, dear. You can take as much time as you need off to spend it with your friend." She told him and beamed. "I will give you pay while you take those days off." She said.

Chadwick stood up straight. "I will work next week, but I may need a couple of days off here and there." He said and looked down at the ground. "I guess this isn't the best week… huh?" He asked and looked up at her.

Julia smiled and shook her head. She stood up and clasped her hand to Chadwick's shoulder. "I'm not angry at you. You're a model employee. You work hard, you earn your money for you and your darling girl. I don't mind if you take time off." She then tilted his head up so they were looking in each others' eyes.

"Chadwick, I already said this to you… You're part of the bakers family now. You'll never be abandoned and we will never let you down." She beamed and chuckled. "So take as much time as you need, dear." She said and walked back to her desk. "I hear some customers. Go out and serve, please." she said politely and watched as Chadwick nodded and went out to deal with the customers.

After a long and tiring eight hour shift, Chadwick called it a day. The health and safety inspector had been around, looking the place over and such. He was satisfied and kept the bakery open. Sheila had managed to stay outside for that twenty minute wait while the inspector searched the place and took down notes and such.

Chadwick clipped Sheila's leash to her collar and smiled to his co-workers. "Okay guys. Guess I'll see you all next week." He smiled as the girls came and hugged him. He chuckled when Sheila barked with excitement. She wagged her boofy tail and whined at Chadwick to take her home. She wanted to eat!

They said their last goodbyes for the day and headed for home, five-minute walk. It was now four o'clock in the afternoon and Chadwick was absolutely tired. He just wanted to collapse on his bed and go to sleep. He and Sheila had to get to the airport in less than thirteen hours.

Tala's plane wouldn't be in until six am, but it was always advised that you arrive at least an hour or two prior to the plane's arrival. And that's what he and Sheila needed to do. They would call it an early night and get some sleep before going to get Tala and Wolborg. They'd be coming back here to sleep anyways, considering that long and tiring plane ride from Russia to Hong Kong and then Hong Kong to Australia.

Once they arrived back at the apartment, Chadwick instantly went to the cupboard and pulled out two tins of spaghetti. He pulled out two china bowls and set them on the table. It was going to be a nice and easy dinner tonight. Chadwick really couldn't be bothered cooking and he just wanted to sleep.

He poured the spaghetti into the bowls and warmed them up in the microwave for a minute and a half. Plenty of time. The ding sounded and they were ready to eat. Great! He just wanted to eat and then go to sleep.

He took his and Sheila's food into his bedroom and set hers on the bed while he sat up and ate his as a steady pace, slurping up the sauce covered noodles and chewing them lazily. He couldn't describe how tired he was. Did the bags under his eyes describe how tired he was?

Chadwick finished up, blinking that he had finished his dinner so fast and then taking Sheila's bowl to the kitchen to rinse off. He didn't find the need to drink coffee all too often, nor soft drinks or anything like that. He just drank water, milk and the occasional nesquick which was easy enough.

He rinsed the bowl off and popped into his red boxers, deciding to skip the shower and save it for tomorrow. It was still light outside, which he and Sheila realised. But as soon as Chadwick closed the curtains, the sun was blocked out and the room was dark. The door was locked, as were all the windows and such. And now it was time to set his alarm for three am. That would give him enough time to get in the shower and then get himself to the airport. He hoped…

He yawned and pet behind Sheila's ear as he nestled down under the covers and closed his tired, amethyst, eyes. He smiled when Sheila snuggled up next to him and wagged her boofy tail. She was quite tired and had quite enjoyed her master's company over the last week and a bit. She was allowed to be at work with him! His friends adored her and loved to play with her. Sheila whined in contention and fell asleep with her master, her tired ice-blue eyes closed and she dozed off.

Chadwick opened his eyes at the sound of his alarm going off. He blinked a couple of times and yawned loudly. He looked to his clock and his eyes went wide. The numbers read four thirty am. He cursed and pulled the covers off of his body, Sheila waking groggily and watching her master fly into his clothes and then pull Sheila's collar and leash on.

Chadwick sprayed deodorant on quickly and combed through his messy hair. He made sure he was wearing a clean pair of boxers. He then pulled on a pair of tight black jeans and a woolly red jumper. He picked up his keys and his wallet and shoved them into his jeans pocket. Tugging at Sheila's leash, he tugged her out the front door landlocked behind them.

They ran down the stairs and caught the bus that went straight to the airport. It was a long and stressful ride and Chadwick yawned a fair few times, blinking as Sheila watched him. She wouldn't be that fascinated but it would be close enough Chadwick thought to himself.

The bus smelt of moth balls and it gave Chadwick a headache. The bus driver didn't care that Sheila was onboard. He just wanted his night shift to end and get to the airport. It was a long half an hour drive before they arrived at the airport.

Chadwick exited the bus, thanking the driver for himself and Sheila and ran with her to the airport entrance. He needed to find the international entrance so that he could find Tala and Wolborg. And they only had an hour before the plane would come in! What a fine time to get lost suddenly in an airport.

Chadwick ran over to a young woman and asked her for directions. "Hey, I'm not too sure where the international section of the airport is. Can you direct me, please?" He asked, feeling Sheila nudge against him. He chuckled. "I mean us." He grinned and smiled as the woman gave him some good directions and which entrance to use for the different flights.

"Thanks for that." Chadwick smiled and ran with Sheila to the exit and then ran to the international section of the airport. They had half an hour before the plane would be arriving! Geez, this wasn't the best timing, now was it? Chadwick was panicking as they entered the international section of the airport and looked up at the display board.

He looked through all of the flights and discovered that Tala's plane had already arrived. Ten minutes ago. Chadwick gulped and looked around. 'Red hair with a white wolf…' He thought to himself over and over again. He and Sheila waited at the ramp and watched as all of the passengers from the flight came off of the giant jet. One after another. Chadwick looked out for Tala. 'Maybe he wasn't coming after all…' Chadwick's mind wandered off and he sighed to Sheila.

Sheila looked up at her master, tilting her head to the side. She didn't quite understand what that meant but she knew her master looked upset. She never liked it when her master became saddened. She was sure that his friend would be here soon. They just had to be.

Sheila looked around the building and saw many people. They all looked strange to her. She loved her master and knew not every one like him looked the same. They all looked different. Sheila shook her head and jolted her ears up. She blinked and hung her tongue out of her mouth. She barked a couple of times to get her master's attention, in which she did. She barked at him again and pulled at her leash.

Chadwick blinked at his girl and looked around at what she was barking at. He couldn't see anybody coming towards them. But he did catch sight of a rather large white dog, barking back at Sheila. He blinked and yelped when Sheila pulled away from him and ran to the dog.

He shook his head. "S-Sheila! Come back!" He yelled and ran after her. "Sheila!" He yelled again to get the puppy's attention. She wasn't listening as she stopped at the dog and began to sniff at it. Her fur raised on edge and she barked at the dog, Chadwick stopping at her side when he saw the size of the dog. He gulped and picked up Sheila's leash to back away from the large dog.

It barked back at Sheila and began to move around to her tail, sniffing and then wagging its rather large and boofy white tail. The dog barked again before Chadwick realised it was a wolf. A white wolf!

Chadwick looked around. Tala had a white wolf! He looked back at the wolf. "Wolborg?" He asked cautiously. The wolf looked up and wagged its boofy tail from side to side, barking again and bounding around Sheila. Chadwick laughed. It was Wolborg! Which meant that….

He turned when he heard someone coming up from behind, pushing something by the sounds of it. Chadwick blinked and looked at the person before him. Fiery red hair with two antenna like bangs petruding from the top of his forehead and trailing down to his chin. Ice-blue eyes… he was absolutely stunning…. Absolutely… handsome.

Chadwick gaped and looked back to Wolborg and then back at the smiling young man before him. "T-Tala?" He asked softly. the red headed boy nodding and walking away from his luggage. Chadwick's amethyst eyes lit up with gleam and excitement. Tala was here! Tala was… he was… "You're so…" Chadwick trailed off and grinned at Tala. "I'll…We'll take your stuff and head back for home." He said smoothly as Tala smiled and nodded.

Wolborg bounded to Tala's side and grunted up at his master. They followed Sheila and Chadwick out of the airport and over to the bus stop. They didn't speak much and just waited for the bus to arrive to take them back to Chadwick's apartment.

Once the bus had come to pick them up, it was a slow half an hour trip back to Chadwick's apartment. They didn't speak much on the bus and got off at the required stop. Once they bus stopped, Chadwick thanked the bus driver and took some of Tala's luggage and led Tala and Wolborg off from the bus and onto the pavement.

Chadwick looked down at Sheila as she barked with contention and led Chadwick and his friend upstairs. She watched her master unlock the door and she ran inside, instantly taxing the couch. She panted happily when Wolborg joined her and sat at the couch with her, barking and whining at her, with her responding happily.

Chadwick led Tala to his small bedroom and set his luggage on the ground. He scratched the back of his head and cleared his throat. "Sorry I haven't been very talkative… I uhh…" As Chadwick turned, he felt Tala's lips crash against his.

Chadwick's eyes went wide for a couple of seconds. He had no idea what was going on before he realised that Tala really did love him. Tala really did want this as much as Chadwick did. Chadwick didn't hesitate in kissing back and pulled Tala down onto the bed with him. They kissed and stroked along each other, up and down each others' sides, feeling through each others' hair and touching each other on the neck and up their arms.

Tala tilted his head to the side to deepen the kiss as Chadwick responded by forcing his tongue through Tala's lips and battling against his tongue to gain dominance. Oh how good it felt! Chadwick felt himself getting hard and felt Tala's hard man against his leg.

They kissed for another minute or so before Tala pulled away and panted for breath, Chadwick doing the same and blinking up at Tala. "I-I need to g-go and ha-have a shower." He said, grinning as Tala nodded.

"Sure thing." He said. Oh that was the first time he had spoken since he and Chadwick had met at the airport. "Mind if I join you?" He asked, taking off his orange woolly jumper and throwing it down on the bed. "I haven't had a shower yet because I've been on that plane." He grinned and followed Chadwick into the bathroom.

Wolborg lay on the couch with Sheila and licked along her boofy neck in an attempt to clean it. He wagged his boofy tail when Sheila wagged hers. He grunted at her and nipped at her ears playfully. She yelped at Wolborg and jumped on him, tackling him onto the couch and cooing to him. They lay together and closed their eyes. Wolborg yawned, exposing his sharp teeth and then laying his head down next to Sheila's. They both fell asleep, content in each other's presence.

And there is chapter six finished! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY Tala and Chadwick have finally met. Little awkward at first I realise, but they ended up kissing in the end, didn't they? Wowiez! And how adorable! Wolborg and Sheila make acute couple already! How sweet!

Anywhoos, thanks so much for reading and please do review! =D
