That curse of the Cute Wolf (Louis X Juno)

The wolf Behind The Counter

"Louis dear, we must be on our way, the news reporters won't have a story on their own," Azuki said as she put her coat on.

"Right, sorry, let's go," Louis opened the door for his wife, Azuki. It's been ten months since the two have wed. Let's just say, their company has been growing a whole ton. Especially now that the shishigumi have entered the picture.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Are you alright? You seem very distant. of course when are you not?" Azuki was applying blush as she spoke harshly under her breath.

"I apologize. It's been a rough couple of months. I thought we decided to take a break from the media. The company is growing and becoming bigger than ever, I don't see why-"

"Enough," Azuki cut Louis off. She sighed. "We're going to walk into this bar and act as if we've never been happier. Alright?" She continued.

"I'm not the type to be controlled but my father isn't one to give up or give into anyone. Not even the filthy reporters. Alright let's go in," Louis took Azuki's hand and intertwined them.

"Hey everyone, it's Louis!" Someone acrossed the room shouted. Instantly cameras began flashing, questions began being shouted and of course reporters taking out their mics.

"It's been nine months since you took over your father's company and one of the youngest red deers to get married. Can you tell us the secret to a happy and perfect marriage, while being a successful business male?!" The first reporter shouted.

Louis raised his hand in hopes to silence the aggressive reporters. And they seem to obey. Surprised, Louis detached his hand away from Azuki.

"I'm getting a drink. Since you enjoy the attention, you take care of doing all the answering," Louis whispered into her ear. She didn't seem happy about it but nodded and smiled as she turned away from Louis.

"Sir! Mr! Mr. Louis sir, we still have questions only you can answer!" A brown elk yelled.

"You can take it up with my wife, we have no secrets between us, she knows all my business," Lie. Louis thought to himself.

"Only way those stupid reporters will leave me alone. Lie," He spoke to himself.

"Can I please get a double shot-" Louis stopped.

"Louis?" Juno. The female wolf working behind the counter. It was Juno. She stared. He stared. The two animals stared at each other.

"What are you doing here?" Louis spoke first. Still flustered.

Juno chuckled. "Isn't it obvious? I work here. Well only on the weekends,"

"I see,"

"Oh! Let me get you a drink," Juno quickly turned around and began making the drink.

"Here, on the house, for old time sake," Juno slid the shot glass to Louis.

"Thanks..." Louis took a sip. "How did you know I wanted to order this? I didn't exactly tell you,"

"Oh please Louis, you really think I have a mind of a bamboo? I'm not a forgetful wolf," She giggled. The smile on her face soon faded, she turned around facing the sink behind her.

"It's good to see you," Louis said.

Juno turned to Louis once more. "It's really good to see you too, how have-"

"Louis, It's time to go," Azaki stared at Juno for a second and back to Louis.

"I'm still enjoying my drink, you can go on ahead, after all, we only live a block away,"

"Louis," She began to whisper into his ear. "Don't make us look like-"

"Like what, darling?" He cut her off. "Go on ahead, I still need a little drink,"

"Alright fine, don't be out to late," She smiled and walk out.

"Ah. The political marriage, I see,"

"You would've done the same if-"

"No Louis, I wouldn't- wouldn't have- well it doesn't matter anymore, so how is married life?" Juno began wiping the counter top.

"It's- It's great,"

"Well I'm off shift, I guess I'll see you when I see you,"

"Juno-"

"What is it?"

"Let me walk you home,"

Juno just stared back at him.

"Come on, let's catch up and it's too dangerous for you to walk home alone,"

"I think it would be more dangerous for you to walk home alone, but I'll take your offer, seeing that we haven't seen each other in almost a year," Juno grabbed her purse and began walking towards the door. Louis following behind her.

---------------------------------------------------------

"Where have you been all this time? Legoshi and Haru said they haven't been on contact with you ever since...you know, we parted ways," Louis began.

"Oh well you see, I've been away for school. Thought it would be good for me, and now I'm working the weekends to get extra money to pay rent," Juno looked somewhat ashamed about her situation.

"Ah university life huh?"

"Yep! But it's okay! Really, I'm working really hard and soon I'll be able to show off the talents I've been hiding for so long! It will all be worth it at the end," Juno stared into the starry night. Louis staring at her, smiling.

"You know you've always treated life as your own stage. I missed seeing it, it's kind of ridiculous how much I missed it,"

"What do you mean?"

"Ugh, such a clueless wolf," Louis rolled his eyes and continued walking.

Juno frowned.

"Uh, what's wrong, Juno?"

"It's just that, I met you when you were the head of Drama club. That energy you had was so real. Almost breath taking. Now, I see you in T.V, hear you on the radio and somehow that energy isn't the same as it was when we were in highschool,"

"Times change, Juno, I'm doing better for society, my fathers company-"

"And what about for yourself?"

Louis stayed silent.

"Nevermind that. We should hang out sometime with Legoshi and Haru, I miss them,"

"Yeah...sounds good,"

"I can walk from here,"

"Are you sure?"

"Positive! Night Louis, get home safely," Juno ran off.

Louis stood their silently and began walking back.

"Weird,"

He chuckled.
