Pose

[Chapter 18]

I sit up stretching before yawning and deciding Fuck it. Imam play games today.. I get up and head outside the room and downstairs to Zaiden's gaming room that i had found recently before sitting down and playing a few video games. I notice Andrea Freya and Lizzy playing pool But I kinda ignore them since, I'm just in the mood to play games. After a while Tannar comes jogging in with the baby in a little carrier that holds the baby to his chest and a phone in his hand. 'Did you guys see the news!?' 'What are you talking about Tannar?' Lizzy looks up at him. 'The news! It's everywhere, Alpha Achilles is dead.' 'Hold on.. My uncle is-!? My uncle is dead?? I doubt it was Zaiden. He doesn't go near him. And my dad hasn't been able to find him so it wasn't him..' 'Ash did you hear??' 'Huh?' I attempt to look over but give up as I'm more focused on the game. 'Ash, An alpha is dead- Zaiden's uncle is dead.' 'Oh, Cool I guess. Wasn't he an asshole anyway?' 'Yeah he was but.. Nobody knows who killed him. And he's really fucking strong like.. Council strength strong.' 'Cool I guess. I bet the person probably feels pretty good about themselves then.' 'I- Forget it.' Tannar walks off with the girls in tow leaving me alone with the Game. A good while later Clide comes in. 'Hey Ash.' 'Hey Clide.' I quickly glance over before going back to my game. 'So you heard the news?' 'About Zaiden's uncle? Yeah..' 'Yeah.. You.. Got any Ideas who it was?' 'Nope.. None.' I can't help but smirk trying not to. 'Ash,' 'What?? I'm winning in my game.' 'Is that so? And would that game happen to be killing people?' 'Maybe.' Clide quickly shuts the door walking over to me. 'Ash, be fucking honest did you or did you not Kill Achilles?' 'Who's Achilles? I've never heard that name before.' 'Ash!' 'Alright fine, I might've been out last night.. He pissed me off.' 'Ash, You realize what you did right!?' 'I committed murder and confessed to a cop, Yeah I know.' 'Well to be honest a cop that wanted to kill the same person.. But that's not the fucking point! You realize how fucking strong Achilles was?? And how hard he is to find?? I- I honestly applaud you for tracking him down I've been trying for months..' 'It actually wasn't that hard to find him.' 'Ash, You took down an Alpha..' 'And? He was being a prick.' 'Oh good lord..' Clide put a hand over his face before walking off. By the time I'm bored of the game I get up to go find Zaiden and cling to him, when I come across Clide talking to someone at the door and I listen in. 'Ah, Yeah I found out uhm.. Recently.' 'Well, We'll let it stay between us, But he's fucking smart I'll give him that. Made it look like a proper damn suicide. The only reason I caught him is because there was a singular camera that caught him.' 'He's a Beta of our pack you realize that right-?' 'Yes, I know Clide.' I just pass by and walk to go find Zaiden but he comes over tp me instead right as Clide closes the door and Zaiden hugs me. 'Hey Ash, Did you..' 'Did I?' 'Uhm.. Never mind..' 'No no no! Don't pull that. Did I what??' 'Did You.. Hear about my uncle? You got any Idea who it could've been?' 'I didn't hear until Tannar came and told me no.. I have no clue, Maybe a random enemy he made?' 'I.. I guess...Apparently it was made to look like a suicide.' 'Gee.. I wonder who the hell would've thought of that?? That's smart though I'll admit. I'll try hacking some cameras to see if I find anything.' 'Okay..? But there's really no need..' 'I know.. I was just.. Thinking I could maybe help out.' I reach up making Zaiden lean down and I kiss his cheek before heading up to my room and grabbing my laptop to Hack the cameras and see if I can find the one that caught me which I do and I delete the Video. When I'm finished I close everything and shut the laptop running downstairs and going to grab a cup of coffee. 'Ash, Why are you so cheerful today??' 'I dunno, I just am, I suppose.' I look over at Zaiden smiling and hugging him. As I continue to make my coffee and Clide starts staring at me but I just smile back Before Zaiden sighs. 'Did anyone else realize that with all the shit going on we haven't been focusing on our band thing?' 'Oh, Uhm.. Me and The others have been practicing Ash. We'll just fill you in so you can figure out a dance okay?' I nod. 'I see, alright.' I sigh and head back to the game room where Tannar is staring at Lizzy and Freya playing pool. 'Hey Ash, wanna join the game?' 'Nah,' 'Oh c'mon! Join in!' Zaiden walks over grabbing a stick and Looking over at me. 'I'll play with you.' 'I- I don't know how to play.' 'Here, Take the cue.' Zaiden hands me the stick and I take it sighing as I walk over to the table. 'So what happens is you aim at the white ball, So it hits the other balls into the hole.' '.. What??' 'You'd know about that you're gay after all-' Lizzy comments and Zaiden smacks her head. These two have tainted you!' 'I'm sorry I can't help it!' Zaiden comes up behind me and Leans down helping me aim. 'Like.. this..' Zaiden makes me shoot and he lands 5 balls. 'See? Easy-' 'Zaiden how the fuck!?' 'Zaiden likes to show off sometimes.' Tannar comments. 'Well he never plays like this with me!' 'Because Like Tannar Said Pip, Only sometimes.' I shuffle away covering my face as I make my way to the door before Zaiden stops me. 'Is.. Everything okay? What's wrong-?' 'Nothing- Nothing is wrong-' 'He's probably just dying inside because of how you held him 5 seconds ago.' 'What? I was showing him how to get the ball in the- Ohhh!' I noticed Zaiden's face turn slightly pink and I just start laughing hugging him. 'Sorry..' I look up and Zaiden stares down at me as I notice his freckles. 'You're freckles are still cute!' 'I-.. Uhm.. Thank you..' 'Ash, You're breaking him.'Tannar says before I look over. 'What am I doing?? I'm just giving him a compliment.' 'He doesn't get that many compliments from people he cares this much about.' 'How the fuck?? He's literally sexy as hell, has the most adorable freckles, His hair is adorable, How does he not get many compliments??' 'I'll say it again, From people he cares about.' I look up at Zaiden when I notice his Tail wagging and I notice him covering his face with his hands. 'You.. Okay?' 'Just.. Give me a moment..' 'Can I mess with your ears??' I wag my tail looking up at is ears. 'Uhm.. sure..' I reach up petting his ears and they're SO FLUFFY. 'Ash..' 'Hm?' 'You're breaking him.. You might want to give him a moment to breathe before he suffocates from cuteness.' 'He can't suffocate from my love. If anything I give him life!' 'You're giving something life alright.' Freya comments and I Stare at her pulling my hands away. 'Freya what the fuck!?' 'What? You said it not me.' 'I meant his soul!' 'That's not what any of us were thinking.' Lizzy and Tannar go to raise their hands and Freya looks over at them. 'Put your hands down, I meant me and Zaiden you two don't count.' 'Freya!' 'Awaken the beast Ash.' 'Damn it! Stop!!' Tannar chips in before I turn and walk out of the room to go sit on the couch and cover my face with a pillow. I suddenly hear screaming from the game room. 'Oh my gods he actually broke Zaiden! I've never seen Zaiden Hide his face!' I smile and hide my face back in the pillow. Eventually Zaiden comes out of the room and he has his Anubis hoodie on with a mask up and the hood over his head as he shuffles to the kitchen. I laugh at him before following him and hugging him. 'Did I actually break you??' 'Y-Yeah..' 'Sorry,' I reach up and kiss his nose after pulling his mask down a bit. Zaiden stares at me for a bit before moving his hand up and rubbing his thumb through  bit of my hair and holding it to me. 'Please tell me this is just ketchup..' 'Shit.. Yes it is-?' 'Actually no never mind, tell me the truth.' 'I-.. Fine Yeah.. I killed somebody-' 'You killed Achilles-' 'Yep.' 'How.. Actually no I don't want to know how..' 'I uhm.. Are.. you mad at me..?' 'Nope, I think I just fell even harder...' I perk my ears up wagging my tail. 'You're not mad??' 'No idiot. I've been wanting him dead for years-' 'Ohh.. what if your dad finds out..!?' 'He honestly would not care, He's been trying to kill him too. But wasn't allowed to due to my grandfather.' 'So.. I won't be in trouble??' 'No, My dad would just.. Basically make you part of the family.' 'What??' 'Yeah normally people have to go through trial and error my dad's just going to be like, "Walk on in." and move to the side- He actually might even force me to marry you.' 'I-' 'Well that's a stretch but it's an example.' 'Can I make a joke about your uncle?' 'I- Sure?' 'I guess I found his Achilles heal.' 'Damn it..' I start laughing and Zaiden just chuckles looking annoyed. 'I aimed lower which gave me a higher advantage-' 'Ash, you can stop now..' 'I guess you can say I cut him by the heel-' 'Damn it okay!' I start laughing and Zaiden pulls me into a hug and I shove my face in his chest still snickering as He holds me. This feels nice actually.. I don't want to let go.. Zaiden suddenly drags me over to his room closing the door and dragging me over to the bed pulling me into a cuddle. 'Zade-' 'What?? I'm tired.' Zaiden laughs hugging me tightly against him and I just lay there staring at the wall. 'Well I'm not..' 'Then Imagine you're sleeping and you'll pass out.' 'How do you know??' 'Because you do it every night.' 'I do not, it doesn't work like that.' 'Yes it does just shut your eyes.' I sit still for a moment before I Turn around to face him and he stares at me. 'You wanna make me tired?' 'I- What-?' I stare at him and he seems to click. 'I-.. Are you.. Sure?' I nod and hug him. 'I trust you..' 'I-.. O-Okay..' Zaiden leans over kissing my neck before kissing my collarbone. Zaiden stares at my collarbone for a minute before I notice him smiling as he looks up at me. 'What??' 'I think that mark suits you better.' 'Which one?' 'Mine.' 'Oh really?' 'Yeah, But you wouldn't believe me anyway.' 'Well.. Maybe I agree.' I lean over kissing him before putting my wrist next to his staring at the Mate marks. 'After all, I'm yours aren't I?' 'Stop! You're fucking adorable..' Zaiden leans over shoving his face into my stomach making me laugh before he hugs me. Eventually he moves up and starts kissing my neck again making me slightly flinch. 'I-.. Are you sure..?' 'Obviously it just fucking tickles!' Zaiden laughs leaning back down and kissing me. 'Don't tickle me, I will kill you.' 'You can try.' Zaiden laughs again and I shove him off pinning him to the bed wagging my tail and he just stares at me. 'What?' 'You just look cute from down here.' 'Shut up!'
