A Regretful Realization

Chapter 7: Lazy Afternoons

Felix POV

When I woke up I momentarily forgot exactly where I was until I switched on a light. Right..I was in Blake's house. My eyes turned to the clock on the nightstand. It was 4AM and the need to use the restroom was urgent.

I went to the bathroom and took care of my business. When I came back to bed, however, I couldn't sleep. Maybe I could watch some tv.....or check on Blake. I got up and walked to the timber wolf's bedroom door, but stopped. 'What am I.....I care too much to leave him alone.....he's so nice..'

I decided to slip in quietly and lay down next to his bed. I still couldn't get to sleep. After awhile I looked at his clock. It's was still only 4:58 AM. Knowing the kind of fur he was during the day...he most likely slept in. I couldn't take it anymore..I sat on his bed and was just about to lay next to him when I caught myself. 'I really shouldn't get too attached.' I heard him stir behind me.

Blake POV

I woke up slightly to the sound of a slight thud then checked my clock. It was way too early in the morning so I nestled back down.

The next time I woke up it was 7AM. My ears twitched at the sound of sizzling downstairs. The smell of something wonderful wafted into my nose as well. Maple bacon....there was no mistaking that glorious scent. I jumped out of bed then threw on some shorts so I wouldn't make the same mistake Felix did. Slowly and groggily I walked downstairs to the kitchen with my mouth watering. Felix jumped at the sight of me for some reason.

Felix POV

I turned around when I heard a slight groan and jumped. Blake straight up looked like a zombie with drool coming out of his mouth and bags in his eyes. "Jeez dude you need to get more sleep!!"

"I'm fine.." He yawned out.

"Let me guess....bacon fan?" His ears perked and he nodded quickly. It was so cute. 'Wait what?' I needed to keep my head in the game.

He slowly went to the couch and turned on the tv to football. I liked sports, a bit, but apparently not as much as he did. There was a full sports package on his tv. I continued to make bacon and got started on some fast bake pancakes as well. It wasn't too hard since I usually did this when I lived with mom.

Blake POV

I felt bad that Felix had to deal with someone as terrible as his mom. She was abusive and cruel and... 'I really hope he'll stay..'

My face burned at the thought of it. "Hey sleepy head the food is ready." Felix called to me from the kitchen. My head shot up. I hadn't realised that i was slowly drifting back to sleep. I saw him with his head poked around in the doorway. I ran so fast to the kitchen I nearly stubbed my toe on the stool.

My tail was swaying wildly when I sat down. He laughed when he saw the excited look on my face before setting down a plate of pancakes and bacon in front of me. On instinct my tongue flopped out, making him laugh even harder. I felt my face tingle a bit and dug in.

*********

We'd eaten every scrap of the prepared meal with satisfied looks on our faces. I'd had a bit too much but I didn't care. The rest of the day was spent watching football on tv. At the end of the day we gave each other hugs goodnight and turned in.

I wasn't looking forward to the work week but I still had another day to relax.
