↳ Farkas | Werewolves

This oneshot was suggested by Corral_Grimes and they gave me the scenario for this oneshot so if it's a good plot creds to them! :)) Also, sorry for the lack of actual oneshots on this book because it's basically turned into an A.N book but this oneshot is to make up for it! Enjoyyyyyyyyy (also, prepare for a loooooot of speech)!

Sitting at the main table in Jorrvaskr, I quietly read a skill book - my feet casually resting on the table. My breathing was slow, matching the faint, calming crackle of the fire in the pit.

'What'cha reading?' a deep voice asked from behind me; but I didn't have to turn around to know who the owner was.

'Oh, just a book about two-handed weapons, I'm not so good so I need training,' I replied - shrugging my shoulders at the last part.

'Well,' Farkas chuckled, 'you don't have to read a book to learn. You could've just asked me!' he pouted, pretending to be upset. I only shook my head and laughed at his expression, closing the book and setting it on the chair beside me.

'Do you want to train now?' Farkas asked - sitting down on the tabletop next to my feet. Shifting a plate away from him, the Nord awaited an answer to escape from my lips with a hoping look in his eyes.

'I'd love to,' I whispered, retrieving my feet from the table and propping myself upright in the chair.

'Good, I thought you were going to say no,' he said curtly, wiggling his eyebrows around - earning a faint giggle from me.

'You two are my OTP, you know that?' a figure said breezily as they appeared in the doorway. I sucked in a breath as I watched Aela approach us in the middle of the hall. She placed her two hands on the table and leaned forwards, gesturing for us to copy. 'But I don't think Vilkas is quite too keen...'

'What do you mean by that?' I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

'I mean,' Aela said with a sigh, 'that I don't think Vilkas approves of your feelings.'

'But we're not even courting!' Farkas burst out, throwing his hands up.

'Keep your voice down! And it's pretty damn obvious you two want to be!' Aela hissed, eyeing Farkas and I from under her red hair that fell in front of her face. I grimaced and peered at Farkas from the corner of my eye - only to see that he was doing the same thing.

'So I wouldn't be too open around him, okay?'

'But tha-'

'Farkas,' Aela interrupted, 'it's for your own good.' she stated with a huff, ending the conversation there and walking back outside after retrieving a bunch of juniper grapes. Farkas grunted - watching her go back to training in the yard outside.

'Aela's right, you know,' I stated, my gaze meeting Farkas's - who was still perched on the table. 'We have to be careful.'

'But it's not our fault he doesn't like it!'

'I know...' I trailed off, placing a hand on his armoured shoulder and looking into his deep eyes. Farkas patted his lap expectantly - sending me a look a child would to his mother when they wanted a second sweetroll.

'We can't just stay inside all day,' I said as I perched myself on Farkas's lap neatly. As he ran his large hands through my dark tendrils of hair - occasionally burying his face in it cutely - I fell into a state of pure bliss. Hearing the faint clashes of steel meeting from outside and the small crackle of the dying fire was enough for me to become sleepy in Farkas's arms. That was until, yet again, someone entered from the yard.

'Brother, you should be training out in the yard,' Vilkas mumbled - harshly placing his sword on his back.

'I have already trained for the whole morning, Vilkas, and I've brought some coin in too. So lay off, won't you?' Farkas replied, crossing his arms over his chest. I jumped off his lap and stood upright next to him.

'And you,' Vilkas sneered, pointing in my direction, 'what have you done?'

'Well I was about to go and train wi-' I was about to explain but I was cut short.

'But you weren't, were you! You were seducing my brother!' Now that hit home. I was just sharing some time with him; because of Vilkas's strict training schedule I barely earned anytime to do what I wanted.

'Vilkas, stop, you're not the Harbinger!' Farkas stepped in front of me, shielding my crumbling form from his brother's cold, unforgiving, icy glare. However, Farkas's form began to convulse - pushing him onto all fours until his limbs lengthened, fur grew and his teeth extended into fangs. Soon enough, both the brother's stood at either end of the hall in werewolf forms.

I was stunned, stood in the middle of the pair, until I heard someone frantically calling my name. Aela.

'(Y/N) get out of there!' the red-head urged - but seeing that I was too shocked to react - she dived at me, sending us both into the stairs. Growls erupted from Vilkas's jaws as he paced into the middle of the room, tempting Farkas forward. However, Farkas started creeping backwards towards the doors. Vilkas, thinking Farkas was going to escape, lunged forwards - only for Farkas to leap on top of him from his position.

'This isn't play-fighting, is it,' I whispered fearfully to Aela, who had dragged me into a corner. With a shake of her head and a sharp intake of breath, she continued watching the fight.

'You can't rule my life Vilkas!' Farkas bellowed, his voice barely recognisable. Vilkas threw him backwards into a pillar and ran out, probably into the Underforge.

'Farkas! Farkas~!' I squealed, wriggling out of Aela's hold and scurrying over to Farkas's limp form propped up against the pillar. Said pillar was cracked in the middle, just about holding on and not splitting completely in two. That was going to need fixing soon. As I held his (now human) face, Farkas managed a weak smile.

'Hello~' he managed, looking up at me with big puppy-dog eyes.

'Oh my Talos why did you do that? You could've gotten yourself seriously hurt!' I whined, helping him to his feet.

'For you. Vilkas is always picking on you, it's unfair,' Farkas breathed, scratching his head - only to wince and take his hand away.

'Come on,' Aela exclaimed, helping me support Farkas, 'let's go get Tilma.'

Yes, I know this fricking sucked but I had to publish something for an 11K present! :) This took ages to write mainly because I forgot I was still writing it because I thought I finished - but I realised and finished it off for you guys! Sorry if the quality started dying towards the end, I had to pick it up after about a week so it was kind of hard to get back into the flow of the oneshot. Hope it was alright!
