Kevin's POV
I stare at the boy named Steven quizzically.
"What do you mean they're not fake? Of course they are,here," I say leaning in and gently tugging on one of the dog ears. I blink in surprise when it doesn't come off of his head. I tug a little harder this time, earning a painful whimper from Steven.
"Hey! That hurts!" Steven whined, pushing my hand away.
"T-They're really not fake," I trail off, inspecting his ears curiously.
"I thought I already told you that." Steven said, rubbing his ear defensively. I rolled his eyes. When I looked back at the dog-boy, I found him sitting in a little ball, arms and head resting on his knees.
"Are you gonna make me go back?"
I raised a brow in confusion.
"Make you go back where?" I asked.
"You're going to call the police so they will make me go back to the lab," Steven said hesitantly.
"Why would I do that? You don't have rabies do you?" I joked, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
Steven simply glared at me. I chuckled and leaned a hand in to help him off of the ground.
"Do you wanna come inside? You look pretty beat up." I explained as Steven gave me a confused look. I saw his face brighten, and a small childish grin krept up on his face.
"Really?"
"Sure." I say, tugging him upwards. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how skinny and light Steven was, so we both ended up toppling to the ground, Steven on top of me. I blinked in surprise at the sparks that occured when his hand landed on my chest. I saw the dog-boy's face turn bright red and he hopped up quickly.
"S-sorry Kevin!" He chirped nervously, as if I was going to hit him.
"It's fine Steven, relax. I just didn't realize how light you were." I chuckled.
Steven chuckled nervously, rubbing his hand behind his neck.
"Let's go inside?" I suggested. Steven nodded, his face still a slight shade of pink. I stood up off of the ground and dusted my black t-shirt off. We both then made our way to the sliding glass door, Steven right behind me. His breathing was heavy, as if he were exhausted from just walking to the door.
"You okay Stev-" I was cut off by the sudden extra weight leaning against me. Steven passed the fuck out. I picked him up bridal style and quickly went inside. I set him down gently on my leather couch. I quickly ran to the kitchen and rinsed a rag under the water. I made my way back to the living room where Steven was.
I put the rag on his forehead and sat down next to him. What the fuck happened?
