Stevens' P.O.V

I stand idly by my door smelling the scent of Isaac and Ronan in the room. My heart beat is erratic and there is nothing but insensible thoughts going through my head. No matter how long I stand here, I cannot shake myself of these thoughts.

Just as I am about to open the door, someone opens the door and bumps into me without notice. The sparks flying through that simple, little touch gave him away with a quickness.

"Isaac..."

"St-Stevens." A blush consumes his face as he backs a little ways away from me. "You're back."

He looks me up and down with furrowed eyebrows the minute he notices the wounds I had gotten from the western werewolves.

"Come inside. Come inside. Why are you standing out here for?" He grabs my hand and takes me inside.

The minute I enter the room, I feel his hands and the hem of my shirt being pulled up over my head before I have the time to say anything. Soon, I'm pushed into a chair.

"Stay. I will be right back."

How should I... tell him? When should I...?

He comes back with bandages and cleaning alcohol before bending down to apply it.

"Isaac..."

"Aren't you going to ask about Ronan? I know you were worried."

"I trust you."

His eyes fall away from mine trying to bite back a smile. Honestly, he really wears his emotions out on his sleeves.

"Then why are you so quiet? What is it that...is making me feel so nervous?

"I..."

"Stevens, I do not want to hear it. You just got back and you are already acting weird."

My eyes fall.

"Is it... Something about Cassius and you? Is that it?" He stops with the alcohol and looks at me with wavering eyes.

"Is it?"

I shake my head.

"Do you...still have feelings for him? Did something happen between the two of you?"

I purse my lips trying not to laugh at his ridiculous assumptions.

"Stevens! Tell me."

"You said you did not want to know."

"I want to know now."

"...Isaac..."

He begins to wrap a bandage around the top part of my chest.

"I found Cassius... But he would not come back unless I had given him what he wanted."

He looks at me.

"And he wanted Pierce."

"Stevens..."

"So I did as he wished and gave him Pierce."
