Axel.
This should get him good, I figured as I snuck up behind Neather as he stormed down the sidewalk, to get to work? I think...
I grabbed onto the back of his shirt and tugged on it a little to gain his attention. He halted and began turning around with an exasperated sigh, as Jasper slithered around his waist doing exactly the same. They're both so weird, with how in sync they are.
"Baby", I purred out in my best imitation of attempting Michael's sweet, innocent and musky voice, "what's got you so upset babe?"
Neather stared at me stoically, causing me to back away on how emotionless he looked at me, "How fucking could you, you fucking disgusting slut", he seethed grasping the attention of others and glaring at them to keep walking, "You fucked that bastard in my bed and now you have the audacity to come back and call me 'baby'? What the fuck do think you're doin-?"
"Wait what... Um, uh Neather this all a-" I was cut off as Jasper reached out and coiled himself around my neck, making feel alarmed as usual. I guess my familiar sensed it, because in a few seconds he came swooping down from the sky and used his talons to latch on to Jasper's body. But, Jasper constricted around my neck in his usual fearful reflex, that always happened when Snow did this to him. I started gasping, feeling the air leave my lungs. Oh dear god, he's gonna let me die , I thought, Neather you're an complete asshole. I started to get this feeling of a tingle all around my body, indicating me that I'm shifting back into my original form. My skin grew a shade darker, my hair turning from auburn to a darker shade of brown, but my height remaining the same since I'm a complete pipsqueak, and my body slimming down.
I saw Neather, rush forward and pry Jaspers body from around my neck. That made Jasper hiss menacingly at him, but you can tell Jasper was scared when he began squirming as Snows talons tightened and lifted him off my neck, before flying them off into the sky. Let's just say, Jasper has a little whittle fear of flying.
"You so deserved that, you damned dipshit" Neather swore, as I over here was hunched over with my hands on my knees, swallowing down as much air as I could without choking on air; if that were possible.
"Heh-hey.. what? I did fucking not deserve that...", I said breathless, "Why does he always have to constrict Neather? It hurts and just makes it worse."
"I don't fucking know and I thought I told you to stop doing that shit with Michael, Axel?", he sighed and then squatted down looking directly into my eyes, as a small sad smirk played onto his lips, "Damn you shifters and never listening to requests of others."
"Wha-hey don't damn my people! That means you're damning me.", I said sadly, through light pants before starting up again, "It's so amusing to me, hence the reason why I shall never listen to any petty request of yours. Also bitch, there's the key factor that.. I do whatever I want." I said through airy pants as I began standing up and Neather following in suit.
"Yeah, yeah... whatever asshole", he muttered under his breath.
"I heard that faggatron."
"At least I'm a transformer, what the fuck are you?", he retorted.
"How did you manage to turn my insult into some sort of compliment for you and an insult to me?"
"I don't know? Talent?", he said starting to lightly chuckle, "but, there's the key factor that... I can do whatever I want."
I stared at him before I started to walk off and away, then flipping him the bird for using my own words against me. "Fucking smart ass", I muttered loud enough for him to hear and he just laughed a little louder, while I on the other hand stared into the sky. Watching Snow continue to scare the living daylights out of Jasper. I nodded in approval of my familiar, watching his white wings flap furiously as he flew around above us and Jasper coiling around his talons, hissing continuously and biting him occasionally. Good Snow.
I heard faint foot steps of boots quickly catching up to me and then an arm slugging around my neck, as Neather pressed his taller frame against my smaller one.
He rested his chin on my head as he asked teasingly, "Hey, you mad?"
"Not really, I just hate that you're smart."
"Hey, to work in capital Headquarters I have to be and you set up that word play yourself", he told me smirking as I tilted my head up to look at him.
I smiled at his teasing and before asking him, "Neather? Can I ask you something?"
"Shoot it, rapid fire, like you usually do."
Lightly laughing I said, "What happened with you and Michael today? Because, that look in your eyes when you saw me as him didn't settle right with me and what you said after that.. it kinda threw me off."
I felt him tense and shifting his arm off my shoulder backing away. I quickly wrapped my arms around his torso, before he could completely leave me. Glancing up at his face, I felt like complete utter shit. His eyes clouded with tears that wouldn't fall, a tick grew in his jaw and his chest vibrated, indicating his wolf was howling. We halted and I noticed from what I could assume, so did other fellow werewolves. They were staring at Neather sadly and then their eyes traveled to me in disgust - they probably thought I was the reason why his was wolf howling, from the way I was clutching onto him.
"Neather?" I whispered pushing my head against his vibrating chest. He pulled me closer to him and inhaled my scent, "Neather, tell me what wrong? I'm your best friend... please? Let me help."
He kissed my forehead and I felt butterflies scatter throughout my stomach. Feeling his lips tug into small smile against my skin he said through a hoarse voice, "Don't beg Axel, you're supposed to be all sassy and shit", he pulled away unwrapping my arms from his chest as he took a quick look at his watch.
"Time for you to go?" I asked my voice showing that I was clearly upset from the tension in the air around us. Snow sensing my sudden falling in mood, came soaring down and placing Jasper on Neather's shoulders. Jasper slithered around his arm, hissing at Snow as he landed on my shoulder, where he stood cocking his head at me. I hate him being able to feel my emotions.
"Yeah duty calls, I have to head to Headquarters. The Council doesn't appreciate those who're late", he said turning around to head off.
I grabbed onto the back of shirt, causing him to turn his head to face me and ask, "Yes, Axel?"
"You better tell me what happened between the both of you, Neather or I'll... well you know... I'll do something" I demanded with a frown.
"Of course", he said with a sad smile as he came closer and leaned down, grabbing the back of my neck to plant another kiss onto my forehead again. Causing another wave of butterflies to erupt and a smile playing onto my lips. He started pulling away so his lips brushed my skin, giving me goosebumps as he spoke, "I know you'll do something, you always do. Also, I know you like my kisses so I hope that, that one gave you smile."
Neather released his grip on my head watching me smile and he actually smiling back before bidding me and Snow goodbye. I watched him go before Snow chirped, "You like his kisses more then you should."
"I know", I said sadly.
