Wolves

Catching rust

A/N
I usually wouldn't make these, but I need to make it clear that the girl who's feared for her power will not show up for a few chapters. I'm not going to give anything away, but copper's snarky comments may get him hurt and possibly someone else.
Copper, being a pickpocket, is targeted, also for his small body that doesn't look very manly, he was kicked out of his home for being homosexual and is still bitter over it.

The streets stretched far but I kept walking, someone had to be here, Brock needs this.

I had decided after a week that going to the same area every day would most likely get me caught and people would get pissed, I'll probably end up dead. People began to appear walking quickly. Swiftly, I picked up the pace, like the rest of the people and even by accident managed to loose my target by falling down, well shit.

The man looked down and me and we kind of just stared at each other, lost. He had Blue eyes of ice, they seemed to have able to shoot bullets, but they were wide and lost just like my own, he had dark brown hair, like Brock, almost black and in a nice style, he had a leather jacket with blue and red stripes on and He held a hand out for me as he shook himself from thoughts, ever so slowly, I took it.

He pulled me up and smiled, " hey, are you okay? I didn't see you there. " I smiled and nodded.
" I'm fine thanks, it's okay I wasn't looking where I was going. " he smiled at me, genuinely, smiled at me. And then we both seemed to realise something and looked down to see our hands still together. I pulled them apart and he mumbled an apology before something startled me.
" Wolf! Come on, if Bluejay finds us messing around we'll be dead meat! " a feminine voice, Wolf? Was that his nick name? He turned back to me and sighed. " I've got to go, I'll hope to see you later... uh. " he smiled as if a way to ask,
" um, it's Copper. " he nodded and smiled,
" Copper huh? " I nodded which caused a strand of my short yellow hair to fall onto my face, he chuckled and moved it over my ear which began to burn. " well then, I'll hope to see you around. " I smiled as he turned around.
" same to you to! " I called over to him as he ran to catch up with his friend.

When I got  back I was as quiet as a mouse and as red as blood, Brock seemed to notice this in his daily greeting and just looked at me.
Brock moved forward and placed a hand on my shoulder.
" Who touched you? " my eyes widened as I looked at him.
" w-what? " I stuttered he looked at me with all seriousness for a second then smirked, " Brock you son of a- " I was cut off by his laugh, it was adorable to say the least, little hiccups now and then.
" I'm sorry but when you come here all flustered then I'm gonna get curious! " he yelled and I began to laugh to, the under-bridge was loud with the amount of people there so no one heard us until we said food. " in all seriousness though, what happened? " I chuckled and shook my head, " come on! " he whined making me laugh more, " we're as close as brothers now! We can tell each other things! " I hiccuped when he said brother, and made him laugh, I smiled a bit embarrassed by myself.

I wouldn't tell him what I said, I just gave him the money and rolled my eyes, walking to the spot I usually slept in, some glared at me, some smiled, some stared, it's what they did normally.
Brock announced that he was going to go get us food and then walked out, people returned to their conversations while I looked at the floor, Wolf was the only thing on my mind.

" hey, Copper fuck! " someone called after a few minutes. I looked up from my knees, the other half that had stayed from Tom's group stood in front of me, four of them in total, glaring at me like I'd just killed their mothers.
" do you need something? " I asked deciding to start off politely. They looked at each other before smirking and taking a step forwards.

" yeah we need something alright. " one of them said with a smirk, the leader started to laugh a little. I wasn't expecting a direct answer to my question, but I didn't want to complain.
" well, then, what is it? " they all glanced at each other and if their smirks could grow any larger than they would. " could you stop doing that and tell me what it is that I could help you with? " I questioned, starting to get impatient. They started to laugh as one walked to my right and the other to my left, I stood up and looked at them with a glare. " what do you want! " I shouted grabbing the attention from some of the people sitting around.
" we need you to do something for us. " one of them answered.
" ah yes because that really fucking helps doesn't it? " I shouted now most of the people were quiet and looking at us.
