My Best Friend The Werewolf

A New Begining

Eli comes to in the dark, a large heaviness on his legs. He felt sore, tired and extremely warm. He pushes the blankets off and that stirs whatever was laying over his legs. Eli sits up to get a better look at it, eyes squinting. Struggling to see in the dark room, his glasses who knows where.

His eyes adjust to the dark and for a second panic builds in his throat. He thinks it's Flinn but when a soft, drawn-out whine fills the air he relaxes and reaches out a hand. Steve nosing into it and seeming to be breathing him in. Moving his upper body off Eli's legs.

He finally realises just where he is. The Lake house, the spare room where Steve had been placed after he had been bitten. How full circle.

Suddenly Steve moves and presses his forehead against Eli's. Making him yelp in pain when Steve jostles his shoulder. Steve pulls back quickly, a look of panic on his face. At least Eli thinks its panic. Who knows why this point. Maybe Steve is sizing him up for a meal and is just playing the long game.

"It's fine. I'm ok" Eli murmurs only to groan when Steve licks up the side of his cheek.

"Urg your so gross." He grumbles wiping his cheek off with his good hand. Steve lets out a snort and Eli wipes the slobber on his boyfriends' fur. That was something Eli never thought he would think.

The door opens a few seconds later and his surprised to actually see Ms Lake. Jim standing behind her. Looking exhausted. Blinky peeking into the room over his shoulder.

"I thought you were on holiday," He says, blinking as he adjusts to sudden light turning on in the room. Everybody a blur and the light wasn't helping that much. If anything it was too bright.

"We were but Walt flew us back when we heard what happened. I won't even say that you're an idiot cause you're probably feeling like one right now anyway" Ms Lake says moving over to pull back the blankets even further. Exposing a white gauze wrapped around his left ankle. His jeans cut just below the knee. That was great. He liked this pair.

She prods and pokes his ankle. Eli yelping and Steve snarls, baring his teeth.

"It's not broken, just twisted," She says more to herself. Ignoring the wolf.

Eli just runs his hand through the fur at the top of Steve's. Between his ears, calming the wolf and Steve relaxes, moving to rest his head on Eli's legs again. One hand wrapping around Eli's calf. Watching Ms Lake with caution. Ready to snap at her if she tried anything. Eli rolls his eyes as his boyfriend's antics.

"So care to tell me what gave you a good idea to eat wolfsbane? Don't try and say you didn't. Blinky explained it all to me" She asks sitting on the edge of the bed. She wasn't yelling or angry just concerned.

"I did what I had to. I'm not gonna explain that. I did it for Steve and I would do it again in a heartbeat"

"You two are gonna get yourself killed trying to protect one another" Ms Lake grumbles.

Eli shrugs before whimpering in pain. Steve moves to press his snout into Eli's hand again and that alone is a comfort.

She checks his stitching on his shoulder and the gash on his head next. Blinky giving him the whole "You're turning into a werewolf" speech though he kinda figured that part out about the second he felt Flinn's teeth slid beneath his skin.

Jim just watches, prodding and poking Steve, asking a million questions that he knows Steve can't answer until Steve gets irritated and smacks him in the face with his tail. Eli laughs softly, even doing that hurting and making him wince in pain. Jim groaning and pulling fur from his mouth.

Eli's lowest tooth mark closer to his diaphragm then his actual shoulder. Flinn having seemed keen on just trying to eat him. He goes to poke one of them but Steve grabs his hand, pulling it away. Snorting out his disapproval.
