Seth
Seth: can we meet somewhere?
Caleb: are you ok?
Seth: um, no, I'm not
Caleb: what's up?
Seth: it's the damn fleas, and I'm so damn lonely.
Caleb: I'm sorry bud. I'm stuck at home
Seth: oh. That's ok
Caleb: what about Darius or Max? or your family?
Seth: Darius and Max are at home too. My family doesn't want to get fleas ☹
Caleb: shit man, I'm sorry
Seth: it's ok, I just feel sad
I leave my room and wander the halls, scratching my head. And of course, I run into Darcy, literally. I growl.
"What's your deal?" she snaps.
"Sorry," I mumble.
"What, no fight, no witty remarks, no asshole behavior?"
I shrug. She frowns.
"What's wrong?" she asks.
"Nothing," I snarl. "Why do you care?"
"Because you seem upset," she says.
I storm away, pacing Aer Tower. Caleb messages me again.
Caleb: I'm leaving my house, meet me at the hollow
Seth: ok
I start to head outside but Darcy catches up to me.
"Seth?"
I keep walking.
"Seth, hold on," she says.
"What? Can't you just leave me alone?! I don't want to deal with you right now," I snarl.
I make it outside and shift into my wolf form, running for the hollow. Cal is waiting in the treehouse for me.
"Hi," I say.
"Hey bud," he says. "How you feeling?"
"I'm alright," I say.
He hugs me. I relax into his arms. He runs his fingers through my hair.
"Cal, the fleas"
"I can't get them remember?"
"Oh right," I say.
He scratches my head. I sigh.
"Thank you," I say.
"Of course," he says.
I nuzzle his neck and he chuckles. I lift my head to look at him and our eyes meet. Then he leans in and our lips meet. Well shit, we're making out all of the sudden. How the hell did this happen again? Fuck it, who cares? He picks me up and carries me to his room, still kissing me. I lock my legs around my waist. He closes the door behind us and breaks our kiss.
"Hi," he says.
"Hi?"
"Handsome guy," he says.
"Are you flirting with me?"
"Yes, Seth, I am. Based on that kiss, It should be obvious that I like you."
"That kiss was fucking amazing," I say.
"Yeah? Want to kiss some more?" he asks.
"Yes, can we lay down though?"
He sets me down and we lay on his bed, facing each other. Our lips meet again. I pull him closer. I break the kiss and meet his beautiful eyes. I run my fingers through his curls. He closes his eyes, rolling onto his back. I lay my head on his chest.
"Are you sure you don't mind the fleas?" I ask.
"Don't worry baby. I know you need the snuggles," he says.
"Baby?"
"That ok?" he asks.
I nod.
"Rest baby. I've got you," he says.
He kisses my forehead.
