Hidden Wishes

"I'll... Um... Leave you two alone." Vischous said before leaving.
He just stared at Hunter. What was going on? Why was he wearing that band? What was he wearing a glove like his father's for? Why did he look scared? Phear wanted answers but the longer he stood there the more it became apparent that Hunter was not going to talk.
"Find out about what?" He demanded again.
" Just that I'm a sympath." Hunter said hurriedly.
"That's it? Nothing else?"
"There is... Isn't anything else right now."
Hunter breezed past him and left the gym. He was lying. There was more he was hiding. He wanted to find out what. He knew he probably messed up. He always did.
He walked from the gym without a workout and went in search of Hunter. He wanted the truth. He hated knowing when someone was lying. That was the worst. He found him in his room. The shower was going and he went right in. Hunter sat on the floor of the shower shivering. His body fully clothed. There was electrical tension in the air. What the hell? He looked at Hunter and saw the band on the floor. What was going on? Suddenly the door opened and his father came in.
"Phear, out. You don't need to be here right now." His father barked at him.
"What's going on?" He demanded. "I am not leaving until I know."
The tension in the air grew stronger. With the stronger tension his fathers anxiety grew. Something was going on and Hunter was the root. He left not wanting to annoy his father any longer.
" Why did you take it off?"
"Be... Because... I wanted to feel."

"Until you learn to control it you can't have this off. There are children here." Rhevenge told him.
" Phear... I couldn't tell him. I felt horrible not telling him but... I don't know. What is this totally puts him off wanting me?" Hunter asked quietly.
" You said you wanted to feel. What did you want to feel?"
The whole time Rhevenge was working the band onto his arm.
"If he wanted me. If he felt the same about me. If he..."
"Shh... It's alright. Let's leave the band in place for now and get together with your father for training. Possibly a field test."
Field test?
"Come on. Time to get out of here and into dry clothes." He helped him stand. " You need to feed. Has a chosen come yet?"
He shook his head. "I won't feed from a female. I... I can't."

Vishous looked up as Rhevenge came into his office. The man seemed upset, which was odd for who it was.
" What can I do for you?" He asked giving his visitor his full attention.
"Your son... Hunter... Hes starving himself." The male grumbled.
"How?" He was suddenly concerned.
"Refusing to feed. He says he can't feed from a female." Rhevenge said. "I think this could be partly because of Phear."
"Phear? How so?"
"They've bonded and Phear doesn't know how to process this... Bond."
"How bad is he?"
"Getting worse as the day goes on."
"Have Phury get the chosen Blaylock and Quinn use or her twin. I think I may be able to help."
