Moments with Sylus

The Wolf , the Rabbit and Tagada Ride - PART I

"This will look cute on you! Come on, let me put this on your hair!"

"Okay, then, sweetie... do as you please."

After a few rounds of persistent nagging, I finally managed to place the fluffy wolf ears on Sylus's head. He sat on the bench, facepalming, while I adjusted the ears. 'Cutie pie Sylus' isn't something I get to see every day, so I had to seize the chance, especially at a carnival like this!

".............."

"What's wrong, sweetie? Doesn't it look as good on me as you expected?"

"It doesn't make you look- cute, as I imagined, though..."

"Then how do I look?"

I could feel the heat rising in my cheeks.

"Never mind... it looks good... Come on, let's go join the Tagada ride queue."

I tried to drag him, but he didn't budge. Instead, he leaned down, his face inches from mine.

"Why are your cheeks red?"

"W-what?"

"Your cheeks..."

"It's just... because of... the cold!"

"It's summer now, sweetie. Not winter." His mouth curled into a victorious smirk.

Okay, I give up... he finally cornered me!

"Now tell me, kitten... you can't escape me. What is it?"

"You look like someone... with those wolf ears on."

"Oh? Who's that?" His curious eyes squinted.

"The wolf prince..."

Sylus's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"He's the main character of the comic I'm reading these days! He's a handsome alpha werewolf! He looks so hot and tall in his human form... Do you know, he even has silver fur and red eyes just like-" I abruptly stopped, realizing I had just called Sylus hot, tall, and handsome by pointing out their 'similarities'! I bit my lip, sealing my mouth to avoid any further embarrassment.

He seemed amused, though.

"Oh, I see. An alpha wolf. That's not bad at all. So you like this silver-haired, red-eyed guy... I mean, the werewolf?"

"I didn't say I like him!"

"Oh, but you did say he's hot, tall, and handsome..."

"Urghhh, enough! Stop... whatever!" I quickly ran away, covering my blushing ears, leaving him to laugh.

*************

"Are you seriously going to keep that on? You didn't even like it at first!"

Sylus caressed the wolf ears on his head.

"I'm getting used to them now... Maybe they're growing on me."

He turned to me, his hand slowly reaching out to caress the bunny ears I was wearing.

"Hmm... such a brave bunny near a wolf..."

His fingers slid down to my real ears. I could feel his cold fingertips moving over my earlobe, sending a quick shiver down my spine as always happened when he touched me.

How unfair that a single touch from him could affect me like this !

"Do you know what's on a wolf's mind when a bunny is nearby?"

"Eh...? N-no...?"

He leaned in closer until I could feel his lips brush against my ear.

"The wolf wants to eat the bunny... and that's all he can think about..."
