- 11: "Strange Wolf" -

Wesley's POV:

"You're something else." I let out a laugh, and he laughed with me.

"You could say that I am, my love. But I know you love me." "You're right." I placed a kiss on his hand and he pulled me closer, securing me even more as I felt safe in his arms at this moment.

"I do love you."

[ OCTOBER 25th - FIVE DAYS ]

It was about, three in the afternoon right now. Classes were over for the day, thankfully! Right now, I was currently lounging about in our dorm with Nox laying on my lap. I was comforting him while rubbing his head, and he seemed like the happiest dog in the moment. I'm glad to see he's been healing up nicely too.

But he healed surprisingly.. fast.. Cortez had taken off his bandages the other day and any signs of the injury had just disappeared. My injury hasn't been hurting as much, but my injury still shows a little bit. Cortez's face always darkens out of anger and sadness when he sees it.

Speaking of Cortez, he was out doing something, so it was just me and Nox chilling out here-

*Ding!*

Nox's head instantly perked up to the sound of the doorbell. I let him jump off my lap as he ran to the door and stared up at it. His tail was wagging viciously and I smiled as I got up as well. I opened the door and I saw exactly why Nox was so happy. It was Taurus and Zenith, thankfully, I've gotten to know them better yesterday.

"Look who's up and running already!" Taurus directed to Nox, who in response jumped up on his hindlegs to put his paws on Taurus's torso. Taurus couldn't help himself as he rubbed Nox violently, to Nox's delight of course.

"Hello Wesley." Zenith waved to me in a nice manner. "May we come in?" "Of course, come in!"

Nox moved back into the room on command and Taurus followed, continuing to roughhouse with the dog. Zenith moved in and avoided their little wrestling playdate. He sat on the couch and I joined him, watching the two others play around.

"Ah, Cortez isn't here right now. He's out doing something." "That's alright, we wanted to talk to you anyway." Zenith smiled, and I couldn't help but smile with encouragement from his grace.

Nox had pinned Taurus for a bit before Taurus flipped him on his back and gave him belly rubs.

"Oh, is there anything specific you both wanted to talk about?" "Not really, we just wanted to get to know you more and just talk to you more overall." Zenith crossed his legs on the couch and I followed suit. Taurus was now playing tug o' war with one of Nox's ropes. He always loved that, he's a very fiesty dog.

"Well first, how is everything with Cortez going?" And thus, Zenith began the conversation.

"I used to always think he was very intimidating, but he's actually a very protective person overall." "You should've heard how much he talked about you when he first realized he loved you." I heard Taurus add to the conversation. Zenith nodded in agreement and smiled.

"He really does care about you. He'd go to any ends for you, for the rest of his life." "R.. Really?" "I would not tell a lie to you, he truly would do anything for you." I heard a rip from over the couch, and both me and Zenith turned our heads. Nox had one end of a rope in his mouth and Taurus had the other end of the rope in his hand.
