The Wolf's Red Apple

Chapter 5: Rays

A week has passed since the Red and Wolf's agreement occurred. Every day was the same for them now. They wake up, wash, dress, Piros makes breakfast, they share a quiet afternoon, Piros makes dinner, was change and back in bed once again. Not much process for a to-be couple, atleast Farkas was treating Piros as an equal, nothing more, nothing special. Piros was satisfied with this, since this was what he wanted, to just get along with Farkas. Even so, he doesn't know Farkas' real feelings, as to know if he still was annoyed by his presence or if he cared no more about it.
Even of things were as simple as they are for both now. Angela wasn't exactly satisfied, she did wish for them to have a more closer relationship, which isn't easy to achieve, yet she is willing to do it anytime, maybe today she will.

A hand slammed the kitchen table and Piros jumped in surprised, the plate he had in his hand almost leaving it. Angela had both her hands giving her support along with her toes, her body almost completely leaning over the table. She had a straight face and just stood there infront of Piros and Farkas in silence. Farkas exchanged a look with Piros and Piros just gave him a shrug and returned to washing the plates he and Farkas had used that morning.

"I am tired... Of this." She said and pointed at the two males. They looked confused at her. Farkas was gonna say something but Angela stopped him.
"Don't say anything, just listen. The two of you are supposed to be a... A thing, but I see no progress. Every day you two do the same thing. Piros wakes up and makes breakfast," the female walked towards the stove as to mimic Piros every morning, "Farkas sits there and does nothing all day," she goes to the table and sits, "I mean... I think its time you two get close, yes!" Angela said proudly and placed her hands on her hip. Her remark made the Red and Wolf exchange a worried look and at this they both nod.

"Angela... I think you are going to far." Farkas said as he slowly stood up and walked to her side, leaning against the table with crossed arms. "I and Piros are okay the way we are. We don't need to get... Intimate if that's what you want." He said with a look of disgust at the last sentence. Piros ignored it and just turned towards the sink. Above the sink there was a window that showed how the sunlight came down dancing through the trees.

"How beautiful..." He whispered, making both Angela and Farkas stare at him in silence. "Ever since I got here, I haven't placed an inch outside. I miss the warm rays of the sun covering my skin like a waterfall." He has been over a week there, locked in the same routine all day. Piros was an active boy back at his home. He was the fifth child, meaning he had brothers and sisters. In free time, when the day was bright and warm, they all played outside. Piros was a fast runner, he had all his siblings chase them. All ran in laughter and in competition. He missed that, he missed it all.

Piros lost his gaze to the shimmering forest and a pat on the shoulder brought his back by surpise. His hands came flying from the sink and raised soup through the air. He turned and behind him stood Angela with a bubble crown.
"Piros, Farkas, why don't we go outside? It's true what you said, you haven't been out there since you got here. You will become depressed!" Angela said with a dramatic voice and took Piros face into her hands, squishing his cheeks.
"Our poor new son, oh look at him Farkas! He looks sick already! You need sunshine my boy!" Angela said and pushed Piros towards Farkas making both males uncomfortable in the crash.
"Now get ready boys, we are going to get some air!" And with that she disappear just like she came, marching proudly. The Red and Wolf exchanged another look and sighed in unison, everything was a good, now how will it end.

Farkas and Piros changed their clothing. Farkas wore something more free and less formal, yet didn't look informal. His hair was in a ponytail, he wore a white t-shirt and as usual, maroon pants. Piros had his red hood on his shoulders, a white silky blouse that reached his elbows and some black shorts. He wanted to feel the breeze pass through his legs and caressed his arms and kiss his face.

A smile had been drawn over His face since he got ready. The boy was even humming a tune without noticing. Farkas did notice though. The Wolf sat on his bed as the Red got dressed. He was watching him silently, making detail out of his movements.
"You are happy about this?" Farkas said, he was a bit annoyed by the current situation and Angela forcing them over eachother.

"Well... I'm not sad or annoyed, I do miss the sun. I'm sorry if my company isn't pleasing." Piros said as he finished the knot of his hood. He was deeply hoping for Farkas to tell him hat his company wasn't annoying, that it was good he was there.

Farkas stood from his bed and walked towards Piros. His eyes weren't on the boy, but his earing.
"I just wish for someone else to be my company." He said coldly and walked out of the room. Those weren't the words the Red wanted.

Piros stood there in silence. Those words were the words he needed to answer his question. Farkas was and is still annoyed by his presence, but even so, it didn't make Piros stand down, it made him want to try harder.
