One Pup

Chapter 15 - Just us

---Felix' POV---

It was hard to wake up while being wrapped in soothing warmth. My eyes seemed permanently sealed shut as I huffed softly, pushing closer to the warmth in the bed. Even through this haze of sleepy comfort I felt myself being tugged closer.

Struggling to open my eyes, I yawned and rubbed through my eyes, wondering for a brief moment where I was before I felt movement and a soft huff right next to me. The events of last night quickly filled through my mind as I slowly turned towards the sound.

Milo had finally shifted to his human form and was currently nuzzling his face in my stomach, arm wrapped tightly around my hip. His nearly black hair tickled as he turned his face and sniffed, still deeply asleep.

For a moment I felt awed, especially with the fact that I didn't feel disgusted with his arm wrapped around me, as if keeping me in his hold. His breath fanned out over my stomach with each exhale from his parted lips.

A soft growl rumbled through the room and against my stomach as Milo stirred, blinking with his eyes in an attempt to wake up. Instead of actually waking up, he simply nuzzled against stomach, sighing and pulling me closer as if there was no place he'd rather be.

Amusement bubbled up inside, though it got tainted with a hint of sadness when my fingers gently traced the smooth curve of Milo's shoulder. It transitioned smoothly, as if there had never been an arm in the first place. The skin wasn't pulled or warped at all but it seemed to be more sensitive, since Milo squirmed slightly as I brushed over it.

He let out a lengthy yawn, blinking again as he shook his head. His eyes were blurry, unfocused for just a moment before they found and held mine. They were a dark brown, nearly black as his wolf pushed forwards. It was funny to think that this...man, was my Milo.

He sure acted like it, leaning forwards to nuzzle my cheek before realizing he had to lean in way farther than usually. That also brought him awkwardly close when he paused, his confused huff close enough so I could feel it brush my face. His lips almost a whisper on my forehead as he sniffed at my hair and closed his eyes, as if to savor the scent.

Both of us jolted when the door smacked open, Terrance's big frame hulking in the doorway as I caught snippets of conversation and Mike shouting in the background. Milo snarled, turning protectively but either he lost his balance or he simply wasn't used to this form.

As it was, our legs tangled as he flipped over the edge of the bed, my eyes widening for a split second before I was dragged along and smashed face first into his chest. Terrance chuckled in the doorway as he looked at our tangled forms with a teasing grin.

"Well, if I knew you guys were getting it on already, I would've waited outside." He smirked before rubbing his arm as Mike smacked it several times. "Terrance you dense, lecherous, pervert!" Mike fumed as he glared up at the man, who looked down in surprise. "What? I'm just saying, since they're mates and all, it's only natural to jump one another when they get the opportunity."

He took another step in the room but Milo growled warningly, struggling to move until he managed to flip us over so he loomed over me protectively. I could tell it took him a lot of effort to keep his body mostly off of me, his arm wobbling ever so slightly as he slowly rested more weight on my chest, opting to trust I could handle it rather than flop down harshly.

Terrance made a hand motion to us, as if proving he was right while raising a brow at his mate. "See? They can already feel the bond, hell, maybe Felix is so connected to Milo, he'll go into heat as well."

Mike sighed, rubbing a hand over his face before holding up two fingers. "Two words, Terrance. Blue. Balls." With that the boy turned around and marched out of the room, leaving Terrance stunned and paling quickly.
