     Shu sat in the corner of the room, arms crossed and looking blankly at the wall. The others genuinely thought he was sulking because of Tetsuo's whole fit on the way to the mansion.
     Luckily, the pale wolf had passed out from his heat and whatever alcohol he was given. They even had to tie his arms to his bed as well. Shu definitely understood why the others had him tied now. The wolf was everywhere when he was drunk or in heat; so both definitely was not good for them.
     The residents of the mansion were currently crowded in Tetsuo's room, resting from the battle and watching over the wolf. Yui was the least injured, so she helped the others with their wounds.
     She looked to Tetsuo next, not knowing what to do. "Are we just going to leave him tied up?" She asked, making everyone's eyes linger towards the sleeping and sweating wolf.
     Reiji stood, heading towards the door. "This happened once before. I still have pills to make the heat subside for a short amount of time." The vampire left for his own room, returning with a bottle of pills.
     He walked over to Tetsuo, opening the bottle as he leaned over the other. Yui quickly made a glass of water for Tetsuo; standing next to the vampire.
     Reiji put the pill to Tetsuo's lips before pushing it in his mouth. He let the water flow down his throat after, successfully making him swallow the pill. Everyone watched to see if the wolf would react; but he did nothing.
     "I suppose he'll wake up soon. The pill might make him sick, especially with the alcohol." Reiji stated, realizing giving it to him while he had consumed such amounts of alcohol probably wasn't best. He shrugged it off, taking a seat at the side of the bed.
     Yui jumped slightly, reaching for a cloth as she tended to a wound of Subaru's that wasn't healing so quickly. The albino only pushed the frantic girl away, saying he was fine and moving towards the wolf. He untied the wolf's wrists, letting his arms fall by his side.
     He frowned slightly, realizing Tetsuo still wasn't waking up from his rest. If anything, they needed rest more than he did.
     The albino growled quietly, leaning down towards the wolf, a hand on the bed. "Tetsuo, wake up." He snapped loudly, ignoring the flustered yank of Yui.
     "Subaru, we shouldn't wake him!" She spoke softly, brows furrowing. Subaru only rolled his eyes, before stating he wanted a proper explanation.
At the forming argument, Tetsuo squirmed awake. He blinked slowly, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. "What is with you all..." He mumbled, hearing parts of the yelling.
Subaru looked at the wolf, a soft expression on his face. It quickly changed as he frowned and slammed his hands down on the bed, pushing his face towards the other.
"You have a hell of a lot of explaining to do!" Subaru snapped, standing up and tossing his arms up. "You leave for three years, come back just to get captured soon after. Then some old lady comes to the mansion saying our father took you away from us?" He continued to ramble, pacing the room.
"We get you back and you're drunk off your ass, and in heat. What the fuck is going on?" The albino huffed, finally crossing his arms and looking at the flustered wolf.
Tetsuo rubbed at his messy head of hair anxiously. "Well.. you kind of just explained it. I was getting sent threats against you all before I left. I didn't want anything to happen to you—"
"You thought we couldn't just handle it?" Ayato asked, almost glaring at the younger male.
"I..I don't know. I got scared, okay? Everything was going so well, and I thought if I told you...stuff would just start up again. I figured the only way to not have problems, was to get rid...of the main problem.." Tetsuo mumbled, teary eyed as he looked down. "Me."
     Everyone stiffened at that. They didn't realize he really saw himself as such a problem. Had he been thinking like that the whole time?
     "I..I truly do love you guys and I didn't mean to..hurt you so much. I was just so scared.." Tetsuo continued, tears rolling down his face as he looked down at his lap. "I thought you all would be okay— thought I would be okay."
     The wolf hiccuped, pushing his face into his hands. "It was so, so hard without you guys. But they wouldn't let me leave."
     Tetsuo caved in on himself, shaking uncontrollably as he cried. The first one to reach him was Kanato. The purple haired vampire shuffled under the covers next to the wolf and forced him to let go of himself.
     Kanato held his arms out for the other, frowning at his red and tear stained face. Tetsuo hesitated, but leaned towards him and wrapped himself around the smaller male. He cried into his chest, gripping onto the back of his shirt.
     The vampire did his best at comforting the other, but couldn't do much against the wolf's rambling.
     "Tetsuo, it'll be okay now." Subaru said, uncharacteristically soft spoken. "I know we said..and did some things," He continued, frowning at his past actions,"and I think I speak for everyone when I say I'm sorry."
      Tetsuo looked, meeting the albino's eyes.
     "I..I love you, Alright?" Subaru blushed, closing his eyes as if waiting for some impact after his words.
     "I love you too..All of you." Tetsuo whispered, still hanging loosely onto Kanato.
