Unexpectedly Perfect (BoyxBoy)

Chapter Six

*Tony's POV*

"So, are you the only one?" Stephen's voice was soft as it left his lips. We were laying on the hood of my car in the same spot I had shown him my wolf. That was almost a week ago.

"Nope. There's actually a lot of us."

"Are you the only one in school?"

"Also nope. You know the soccer team?"

"Yeah...?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Well, everyone on the soccer team is one too."

"What?! That's cheating!!"

"No it's not! It's just... a small advantage we have. Some of the teams we've played have had weres on their team."

"Mhm." He mumbled.

"So, are you guys the only things out there?" He placed himself up on his elbow and faced me.

"What do you mean?"

"Like, are vampires real too?"

A small chuckle escaped my lips and he smiled.

"Yes, they are real. But they don't exist anymore. My uncle told me that his ancestors killed the last of them in a war for territory."

"Oh... So, does that mean you're the strongest thing out there?"

"We're some of the strongest. But there are others that are just as strong if not stronger."

"Really?" His eyes grew wide as he closed the distance between us; fully immersed in our conversation.

"Yeah. There aren't many things that can harm us, but the one type of creature that is the most dangerous is a witch."

"A witch? Like, pointy hat and broomstick witch?"

"Yes. They don't look like that though. Witches, surprisingly, are very beautiful. They usually have this look to them, and pretty much anyone or anything is drawn to them. Accept us of course. We can smell a witch a mile away."

"Smell?" His brows furrowed in confusion as he spoke.

"Witches have a very defined smell to them. Part of it is like a flower and the other part is like raw sewage. Humans couldn't smell or see the difference between a normal person and a witch though."

"Why are they so dangerous to you guys?"

"Our wolves are more susceptible to their magic. And they're extremely hard to kill. Their heart must be pierced with something of their powers origin and most witches get their power from the earth. So, our claws usually do the trick, but only if they're covered in mud from hollow ground."

"Wow. Are there any at our school?"

"Nope. We would've gotten rid of them a long time ago if there was."

A comfortable silence formed between us. I was staring up at the sky when I felt his arms wrap around my torso. His scent flowing into my lungs.

"Tony?" Stephen's voice was strained.

"Yeah?"

"Promise me something?"

"Anything."

"Promise me you'll be careful." I looked over to find his eyes filled with tears.

"Don't cry babe. I'm fine. Everything's okay. You don't need to worry about me, alright?"

"Please, Tony. Just promise me. It's been a long time since I've been happy and I don't wanna lose the one person in this world that makes me feel whole again. Please promise me."
