Wolf and Cat

A Sour Dinner

The cuddling and kissing didn't last long. Looking at the time it was nearing 6:00pm. Gently putting Nick to the side of the bed Quaritch got out of bed standing up fixing his clothes. "This was nicely ironed you know" smirked Quaritch buttoning up his shirt glancing to the wolf. "Are we meeting the queen or something?" Said Nick rolling his eyes. "We'll be having dinner with all the high ranked officials in bridgehead, they wanna meet me, they wanna meet you". Replied Quaritch. "Ok the Colonel I get but why me?". Walking to Nick's bed Quaritch grabbed his clothes handing them to the wolf. "It's not everyday you meet a lycan". As Nick grabbed his clothes Quaritch leaned in kissing him on the lips huffing from his nose as he pulled himself back. "Get dressed and we'll go" wiping his mouth the smile disappeared from Miles as he put himself back into character. Putting on his black buttoned shirt it felt weird wearing human clothes for the first time in three years. Getting to the pants the hole for the tail was too small, like the military clothes Nick slightly ripped open the hole fitting in his tail. Leaning against the bunk beds Miles watched Nick dress into his clothes almost like he was waiting for a specific moment. Looking at the belt on the bed Nick grabbed it, adjusting the strap to put it around his pants, just as he did that Quaritch stood up walking to Nick pulling him close by his pants. A purr vibrated inside the Colonel's chest as he took the belt from the wolf's hands now equipping it around his pants. "How am I meant to learn if you're always doing it?" Muttered Nick looking to the Colonel's lips glancing to his eyes. "You got me to practice on. besides you take too long and I wanna get there early" smiled Quaritch, Satisfied he grabbed two filter masks from his desk and took the wolf's hand holding it as if this was casual. "Behave you hear me?" Said Quaritch lifting the wolf's hand up gently kissing it. "I'm not a child" Said Nick tilting his head glaring at the Colonel. Smirking, "you act like one" replied Quaritch opening the door.

Once the door opened Miles let go of the wolf's hand walking into the hallway, not taking much notice of it Nick wagged his tail following after Quaritch. "Here you'll need this" handing Nick his mask. Stepping into human quarters the Colonel's tail flicked biting the inside of his cheek, ears tilting down. Continuing their walk Nick noticed the Colonel taking multiple breaths from his mask, more than he usually does. "Nervous kitty?" Teased the wolf. Quaritch paid him no attention.
Heading into a fancy looking building there was yet again another long hallway, examining the place it looked high maintenance and very clean, tracing his eyes along the walls a sign read 'Dining area' with an arrow pointing to a quick corner. Hearing the Colonel's heart beat race Nick glanced around checking to make sure no one was around them. Just before Quaritch could turn the corner Nick grabs his shoulder pinning him against the wall. "Fuck are you doing?" He huffed, keeping his mouth slightly open. Looking into the big cat's eyes Nick ran his hand up under the Colonel's shirt putting his hand over his heart. "You're really nervous," Said Nick trying to calm his voice. Ears prickling down, Quaritch closed his mouth huffing out of his nose, glaring to the wolf flicking his tail against his leg. Leaning in, Nick kissed the Colonel gently biting his lip, pulling away a smudge of blood drew from Quaritch's lip. Stepping back, Nick pulled the Colonel forward now walking around the corner. The general stood next to a small group of people in fancy clothing. Taking a deep breath from his mask Quaritch walked over saluting to the General. "General Ardmore" he greeted. Standing behind him Nick crossed his arms trying not to be seen. "Ah, just who we were talking about," smiled Ardmore, turning to Quaritch. "This is Colonel Quaritch, head of project phoenix". The look on the people's faces were full of concern and fear, though they tried to hide that, it was obvious. Stepping forward a man with various badges on his shirt held out his hand looking up to Quaritch. "Head of construction, heard many good things about you Colonel". "Thank you sir" Replied Quaritch, shaking the man's hand. "Let's sit and continue shall we?" Insisted Ardmore.
As they walked to the table sitting down Nick stood out from Behind Quaritch sitting next to him in the avatar built chairs. Glancing to the wolf one of the women flinched, turning and whispering to one of the other officials. "Here we fucking go.." Muttered Nick. Slightly turning his head looking down, Quaritch bumped Nick's side under the table.
