41: Family

When Mew and Gulf got back, they were led by Leah to the mass hall where all of the volunteers at the wolf sanctuary were gathered.

Everyone greeted Gulf with so much love.

When Gulf introduced Mew, they welcomed him warmly.

Mew felt like he was part of their family, a normal person. Not someone who is feared.

At the back of the mass hall laid a buffet spread of food, desserts and drinks.

Timpano, rosemary egg potato salad, fried rice, turkey... You name it, they got it.

Addison refused to eat her bell peppers. It was only when Leah threatened to take away her right to dessert was Addison seen eating her bell peppers, albeit grudgingly.

Matthew would pretend to be drunk on his apple juice, dancing to the music.

Where did they get the music?

Well, the wolf sanctuary had a stage at the front of the hall.

Drums, guitars, piano, the full set.

The volunteers would sometimes go up and sing, all of them having a good time.

Some of the volunteers even formed an informal band. When there are these huge gatherings, they would also play.

Slow songs would lead some couples going up to the front and swaying to the music.

Fast songs would cause the disco ball above to be switched on. People would jump around, some with wine in their hands.

Soon, Mew found his name chanted among the volunteers.

Mew laughed and jogged up to the stage.

The band's drummer was eating his food. Whispering to the drummer, they exchanged a few words before the drummer clapped Mew on the back.

With the drummer flashing him a thumbs up, Mew walked up the stage, settling behind the drums.

Mew hit the beat and the band played 'Who Do You Love' by Chainsmokers and 5SOS.

(A/N: I love this song so much.)

Everyone was hyped up. Even Addison and Matthew joined the dance floor.

Instead of the music, Gulf was distracted by Mew.

Mew looks so goddamn sexy.

His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, exposing those delicious veins.

Mew's face when he played was so sexy, as if it was giving him climatic pleasure.

Gulf immediately whipped out his phone and started recording.

He can't rely on his brain to remember. Best to save it.

After a few more songs were played, Matthew shouted for Mew to sing.

"Your wish is my command little prince." Mew smiled.

Sitting on the stool, he grabbed the nearby guitar and microphone stand.

Speaking into the microphone, he looked at Gulf.

"Babe, this is for you." Mew winked.

Squeals and cheers were heard, Gulf covering his face, his ears bright red.

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night feeling lonely.
but in the morning the loneliness disappears.

Sometimes bad things happen, but they seem so easy when I'm with you.

It's said that "Always look at the bright side".
That's why I love to look up to the sunrise.

Even though the sun makes someone hot, but the sun makes me feel loved, just like you.

I feel warm every time I look at you. I will never be bored seeing your face.
My heart wants to end up with you. Let's be sunshine for each other forever.

You're my sunflower.
You're my sunflower.
Like the sun and sunflower that are meant for each other.
You're there every time I turn my head to.

Sunflower, you're my sunflower.
Please be my brightness for a long long time baby.

His voice was smooth and clear and quiet yet powerful. Soothing, in a way.

Gulf was entranced by Mew.

The only thing he could hear was Mew's voice and the loud pounding of his own heart.

I know you don't really call a guy's voice beautiful, but his was.

It was the promise of tomorrow.

It was beautiful, and Gulf wished that he would never stop.

"How was it babe?" Mew sat beside Gulf after the performance, leaning against the table.

Gulf just grabbed Mew's sweater and pulled him forward, smashing his lips against Mew's.

"Next time, you better warn me so that I find a front row seat in time. And record it for me so that I can replay it." Gulf mumbled.

Feeling Gulf's lips on him, Mew was stunned. Gulf rarely shows affection in front of people.

Moreover in front of people he regards as his family.

Getting no response from Mew, Gulf growled and bit Mew's bottom lip.

Mew smiled against the kiss.

He wrapped his arms around Gulf's waist, pulling him closer.

Parting his lips, Mew felt Gulf brush his tongue over his teeth.

Mew opened his mouth, giving Gulf access.

Gulf thrust his tongue inside Mew's mouth, tasting and feeling every corner and inch of his mouth before roughly tugging Mew's tongue with his own.

Everyone groaned, some hollering Get some! while others just smirked.

"Gulf, you have your own log cabin. Make full use of it!" Someone shouted.

"The kids are still here!" Another joined in the teasing.

Leah chuckled, covering the children's eyes.
