Luke dialled Ashton's phone number, rolling his eyes when it once again went straight to voicemail. He groaned, calling Calum next, getting more voicemail. Then Luke called Reece and prayed to god his boyfriend would answer his damn phone. No one had answered when Luke had called them all that morning, and he hoped everything had gone okay after they'd left.

Reece eventually answered his phone, "hey Luke."

"Hey Luke? That's all I get? I've been calling all morning." Luke said, "what happened last night?"

Reece sighed, "Ashton got an infection from the bite, that's what makes Wolves bites deadly, it had to be take care of before it spread and killed him." Reece explained. "Sorry I didn't answer, I was up late and then fell asleep pretty deeply."

"Oh." Luke said. "Is Ashton okay now?"

"Yes he is, he's resting up, it took a lot out of him last night." Reece said. "We found Calum too, he's in isolation."

"Oh." Luke frowned, "is he okay though?"

"He's okay, turning is a lot for him, it takes years to perfect it." Reece said, "I felt bad for my nephew when it was happening to him."

Luke hummed, "his father was a wolf right?"

"We think so, I never met him." Reece said, "are you okay Luke? Did you sleep well?"

Luke shrugged to himself, "not really, I was worried last night and I said hello to the ghosts and they knew my name. It freaked me out a little so I slept with the lights on." Luke admitted.

Reece sighed, "do you wanna go get food and talk about it." He offered.

"I'm not hungry." Luke said.

Someone then knocked at Luke's dorm room, so he got up and answered it, seeing it was Reece. Thy both hung up and Reece shut the door behind him. He took Luke's hand in his, "are you really alright?"

Luke let out a deep breath, "I feel all over the place." Luke said. "Can we just nap? It might help me."

Reece nodded, "alright."

They climbed in to Luke's bed, pulling the covers up to their shoulders. Luke shuffling in close to Reece, placing his hands underneath Reece's shirt. Luke then shivered, "Oh god you're so cold." Luke sat up, looking down at Reece. "Is this the dead thing?"

"Yeah, sorry." Reece sighed, he got out of the bed and turned on the heater in the room, "this might help." Reece said, getting back under the covers and pulling Luke in close.

Luke hummed happily, and closed his eyes. "Where did they find Calum?" Luke asked.

"He was unconscious and naked in the woods." Reece said, "it was close to my house, he's safe now."

"Good." Luke said, kissing Reece's neck.

Reece stared down at Luke, something was up. "You seem really...out of it." Reece concluded.

"I'm just meh." Luke shrugged, then shuffled closer to Reece and further under the covers, "sleepy time now."

Reece let Luke sleep, keeping him company. Every now and then Reece would dip in to Luke's mind and see what kind of silly dreams he was having, and then when he saw Luke's dream was going dark and twisted, he stayed still and watched what happened.
