Kal's P.O.V

I felt bad about asking him all these questions but i decided to try and make him feel better. I got up and when to the kitchen as Gareth stayed on the couch. I open the fridge door grabbing out the half eaten red velvet cake i made. Cutting it into pieces i place some slices in two bowls, i added some ice cream and put the left overs back.

I wall back into the lounge room sitting next to him on the couch. He has a miserable look on his face which slightly lights up as i give him his cake and ice cream. I pull him close to me as he gives me small smile. I can tell he's worrying. Something in the back of his mind. I guess he may be overthinking things, i tend to do that.

After we finished eating, Gareth gave a yawn and rest his head against me. "Come on, you cant go to sleep on me. Here ill take you to bed" i say as I get up from the couch before picking him up with his arms over my shoulders and his legs around my waist. I carry him gently to bed before laying him down sleepily and going to sleep next to him.

-Dream-
I stood stood on the beach. The sun was bright and the warm water washed over my feet. There was a strong breeze that blew through my fur. It was nice and calming. I looked around to see Gareth in the water. He saw me and gave me a cheery smile before walking towards me. The smile seemed foreign as i had never seen him like that. He slowly made his way over to me only stopping a few inches from me. He stood on his told taller as he leaned forward closing the gap between us kissing me.
-End Dream-

I woke realising that i was kissing Gareth. He woke and i broke away from him leaving the rest of the bed between us, i sat facing away from him knowing he knew what i just did. "I am so sorry Gareth and there's no excuse" i say apologetically.

"It was actually nice" he said in a small voice. I just sat there staring at the floor with instant regret and mentally face palming myself. I felt Gareth shift through the bed as he placed his arms around me. How could i be so stupid. My thoughts were cut as he pecked my cheek. I turned to look at his innocent face, "Come on, lets get ready for school" he continued before getting up and grabbing his clothes.

I got up off the bed and followed suit out into the kitchen. Made pancakes for breakfast as Gareth had his shower. He came out and sat across the bench as i slid a plate in front of him before pouring syrup on mine. "I've got work after school today, so if you want you can pop in or stay home" i say as i pull a key out of my pocket and placing it on the table infront of him.

He grabs it from the table and stares at it, like its value is greater then gold. "Thanks, i'll see how i feel" he said not taking his eyes from the key.

"Its ok, but you better eat up quick as its time to go" i say eating the last of my pancakes. Gareth finish of his meal before grabbing his bag and following me out the door. I put my arm around his shoulders as we walk to school.

After school Gareth decided that he would go home but come see me later, i texted him and told where I worked as i left to work straight after school.

I walk into the dinner where i was greeted by my boss, Peterson who's a purple, violet and white wolf. "hey, I'm here" i say ducking around the counter and grabbing my apron. He gave me a cheeky smile like he could see right through me, "what?" I ask curiously.

He servers a customer before turning back to me "So, who the special guy?" He asked grimsonly.

I give him his arm a nudge, "of course you would wanna know" i say cheekily making him blush red. "He may pop by soon" I continued before attending customers.

Ian's P.O.V

I had lost, what i cared about. I didn't want to leave him. I didn't want to go home either. I just wondered the streets, starring at the memories we had. I called the number from the not. Trish told me to stay at her house the night, she was worried i would do something. When the actual fact was i didn't want to do anything. I left her house early in the morning not wanting her to be burdened with my problems.

I walked to the park where i first met Gareth. I finally know how he feels when he lost everything. I sat in the same spot he did, and i waited. I sat there all day. I waited. I just wanted to be found. I just wanted to be loved. But sadly not even my parents can provide that.

The real truth was, he saved me.

I stood up from under the playground. And walked. I was tired. I hardly slept last night i kept thinking about what happened. I was all he had. And now he doesn't need me.

I felt my stomach grumble. I decided to get something to eat. It was late after noon so i went to the first diner i saw.

I made my way slowly, my foot steps slow and unsure. I had lost my motive. I had almost lost hope.

I pushed open the door slowly making my way to a table at the back, surrounded by furs with happy grins. It kinda made me happy to know that others are enjoying there lives. I sit down slowly placing my head against the cold hard wood.

I was shaken, "excuse me sir, can i help you?" The soft voice asked.
