Louis kneeled on the ground,around him were medicinal wraps and painkillers. He wasn't his usual calm and collected self. He wasn't okay and he knew it. (Dammit, my body's breaking down. I'm not built for fighting and just brushing off injuries like this. My leg's shattered,I will have to go to the hospital right after tommorrow's performance.) He thought to himself, wrapping his leg. Suddenly the door opened and Keanu walked in. Louis quickly hid the medicine.
-"You called boss?" Keanu asked. Louis looked at him up and down. He was tall, certainly. In very good shape too. But the vibe he gave off...something wasn't right about it, but Louis couldn't put his finger on what exactly it was.
-"Right. Please, sit." Louis commanded, sitting on his big, comfortable armchair. Keanu on the other hand, sat on a wooden chair. He sat down and crossed his legs. Louis looked at him for a bit. He didn't have regular posture for a carnivore. He didn't sit aggressively, but he also wasn't hiding his carnivore features. He sat like he had complete control of the situation. Louis did not like this.
-"You...What's your deal?" Louis asked the young jackal. He didn't even ask in an angry tone, it was more...intrigued.. Louis was genuinely curious about the specimen standing in front of him. He wanted to know everything about him. It was almost like a magnetic attraction towards Keanu. Those big eyes were definitely hiding something, just like Louis'. Maybe the pair had more in common than it seemed?
-"Mm? What do you mean?" Keanu asked. Louis leaned in a bit closer. Looking Keanu in the eyes.
-"You've been in my sight for some time now. You usually kept to yourself, but recently you've started getting more and more involved. You seem to be the only student with certain...privileges let's call it. You're eager to fight, as all carnivores are, I know all about your escapades, yet nobody does anything to punish you for them...My question is, why?" Louis crossed his legs in the same manner that Keanu did, resting his hand against his face and looking at him. The deer was fully immersed, eagerly awaiting Keanu's response. Keanu smirked.
-"Well, I'm not from around here, I can tell you that much. And I'd prefer we keep it at that." Keanu responded, his smooth voice resonating with Louis. This was not enough for Louis though.
-"Come on, I know you've got more you can tell me." Louis spoke. Keanu looked at him for a bit. Just when he was about to open his mouth the door opened. Legoshi walked in.
-"Excuse me, Louis. I wanted to talk to you about... Oh, you have someone in here already. I'll just le-" Legoshi said, before being interrupted by Louis.
-"It's fine, say what you want." Louis spoke in an aggravated tone. Legoshi closed the door behind him and started explaining.
-"Well, for tommorow's performance I shifted the light more on you during the final scene." Legoshi explained.
-"I noticed, go on." Louis responded in a firm, commanding tone.
-"Well I also thought we could let it fade a bit longer than usual. Since it's the final scene I thought it should leave more of a lingering feeling. Ehh I'm not sure though.." Legoshi continued. Louis was completely fixated on his hands though.
-"Goodness, your body gets aggressive every chance it gets" Louis exclaimed. Legoshi was taken back.
-"Oh I'm sorry, I trim my nails every day but they always grow back so fast." He apologized.
-"And you don't like that? You can't go against your true nature?" Louis stood up and grabbed Legoshi by the shoulders, pushing him back towards the wall. Legoshi was confused. Louis grabbed him by the throat. "There's something I've been meaning to ask you..Why don't you ever utilize your full strength? I want you to bite me Legoshi, don't hold back" He shoved his hand in Legoshi's mouth. Legoshi had a terrified expression on his face. "BITE ME!" Louis cried out.
-"Uhh, should I leave you 2 alone?" Keanu spoke from behind Louis. Louis froze up for a moment, and let go of Legoshi. Legoshi coughed in relief, holding his throat. "Look I don't care what kind of kinky bondage stuff you 2 are doing, just do it somewhere private, Jesus." Keanu said, chuckling. Louis looked at him, and back at Legoshi.
-"I..I didn't.." Louis stuttered. Keanu interrupted him.
-"Right, right I get it. You're cute though, if I ever go down that road I'll be sure to hit you up." Keanu replied cheekily and winked at Louis. He walked towards the door. "Oh and by the way, stay safe kids." Keanu pulled out a condom from his pocket and threw it in Louis' hands. He left the room. Legoshi and Louis stood in silence for a few moments.
-"Look, I don't care if you were hitting on me. I just want you to know Louis...Your strength is an asset to you. To me it's a liability. You're special and everyone knows it." Legoshi spoke in a soft, reserved manner.
-"I..." Louis stopped. Legoshi looked at him for a bit
-"I should go" Legoshi spoke somberly,leaving the room.
Louis stood there alone, thinking over everything that just happened, condom still in hand. He sighed, and sat on his chair. Did Legoshi really mean that? And Keanu never answered his question. He mulled everything over, remembering the look in Keanu's eyes. He knew he would get to the bottom of what was up with him. But for now, he had a performance to prepare for.
