My Best Friend The Werewolf

Planning

Eli wakes to someone poking him in the cheek.

"Seriously Steve." He grumbles batting away the hand.

"No it's Toby, your mother let us in when she left for work"

He sighs but forces open his eyes. Reaching out his hand again to search for his glasses. He hits skin instead and Toby grumbles in pain.

"Sorry" He mumbles before finally finding his glasses and sitting up.

Toby shrugs as he forces himself to his feet as Eli runs a hand through his hair. Trying unsuccessfully to flatten down the locks but to no avail.

"What's up?" He asks once he realises Toby isn't the only person in his room. Jim and Claire are there as well. Claire had her head in a book. Once more reading over something they had gone through a million times, hoping to find something they had missed.

Jim was looking at the photos on his cork board.

"Still one of the best days of my life" Jim murmurs pointing to the photo of the Reckless Club the day it was formed. Nostalgia filling his voice.

"Uh, we're here to discuss plans. Where to put Steve. What's going to happen on the Full Moon" Claire points out not even looking up from the book.

"Shouldn't Steve be here for this?"

"Yeah, probably but we thought that you can go and wake him up. I don't want to die today" Toby murmurs.

"Oh, your such a baby" Eli grumbles before reaching for his phone and calling Steve.

"Hey, What's up Peps?" He gets a few seconds later. Steve's voice was quiet and soft.

"I've been invaded by annoying Trollhunters, can you come over they want to discuss plans," Eli asks.

"Sure give me five," Steve says and Eli hears him get out of bed before hanging up.

"So how are you two going? I heard you had a date yesterday" Toby asks.

"Yeah, we're good. Better than good really" Eli says, a small smile filling his face as yesterday comes back to him. How amazing it had been.

A thud sounds then and Eli sighs.

"What was.." Claire starts but her question is answered with Steve slides open the window.

"Show off" Eli gripes as Steve climbs into the room.

"You know it. So have any of you thought of anything yet cause I've got nothing" Steve asks moving over to sit beside Eli on the bed before adjusting so he was laying his head on Eli's lap instead. Legs hanging off the end of the bed.

He had pulled on jeans and a shirt but his hair was still a mess from sleep. Eli reaches out subconsciously to try and straighten some of the locks. Liking the feeling of Steve's hair between his fingers. So soft and fluffy.

"Uh we've talked to Vendel but his refusing to put any of the trolls in harm's way because of a "Rabid dog'" Jim explains looking sheepish at the name Vendel had used.

"It's ok. We'll figure out something else. Somewhere else" Eli says and for once he actually believes his own words. Steve grabs Eli's hand and just holds it to his chest, rubbing circles into Eli's skin.

"But something else had come up. We kinda have another commitment on the Full Moon. My first game is then and scouts are coming. " Steve points out looking over at the Trio.

Eli mentally facepalms. He'd completely forgotten.

"Another commitment. I think the whole you turning into an eight-foot canine is a pretty big commitment already dude" Toby points out.
