Werewolf

I move a little in the tree, watching as the man drives away. Every other Friday he comes out here, puts flowers in front of a certain tree, and stays there a few minutes. Then he drives away. I wonder if all humans are like this, oddly sentimental, yet incredibly charming. I'm a human, I suppose. At least, most of the time. Once a month I become a monster.
"You're a furry, man." They say. But I'm not. I couldn't control being bitten by a werewolf. If anyone fell in love with me, they would be a furry. It would be a very Remus Lupin romance. I just need to find my Sirius.

The next day, I enter my workplace in human form. Sipping my coffee, I walk to my desk and start selling time shares in Alabama. I don't even live anywhere near Alabama, but Med school is expensive, and skipping class every full moon doesn't  exactly help my grades.
"Yo. Will." Leo says. "Check your drawer."
I open my desk, and it's full of cans. I pick one up. "Chef Sam's super spicy sauce in a can." I read. "Hilarious, Leo. Gold star."
"I know, right? Where were you last night? You didn't go to Drew's party. Plus, you look terrible."
"Gee. Thanks, Leo." I say, trying to call another person who definitely needs an Alabama time share.
"You know what I mean. Where were you?"
"I had to preform my biweekly cult sacrifice."
"Fine. I get it, you don't want to talk about it. But I'm supposed to tell you that there's a new guy starting here today." Leo walks back to his desk, leaving me wondering what they'll be like.

As soon as I see him, I know I'm screwed.
"You!" I yell. Everyone turns to look at me.
"Um, sorry," I say, "I thought you were someone else."
"Everyone, this is Nico. He'll be working with you all for the next few months. Nico, have anything to say? Why did you decide to work with us?" Piper, our manager asks.
"I just really, really love Alabama. And timeshares. Woohoo." He imitates joy and plasters on a fake smile. "Where's my desk?"

He's the top salesman by the end of the month. I honestly don't get how.
"Look, man." He says into the phone as I watch from my desk. "Honestly, you don't need a time share. Alabama is crap, you should never go there. But now that I've said that, you really want one, just to spite the cocky guy on your phone who thinks you don't need one." How does that work? It really shouldn't. Maybe he just gets really spiteful customers? Maybe people think he's joking and like him? Either way, he's good.

Tonight's another full moon. Being a werewolf honestly isn't as painful as popular fiction says it is. It's more embarrassing than anything. I don't want to be a cute little wolf. I want to be a cute, tallish human. The good news is that I get to creep on Nico. I'm, like, 99% sure he's the same man who leaves the flowers, but it's dark outside. Tonight I'm going find out.

Today it's tulips. He just stands there, staring sadly at the tree. I walk behind him and nuzzle my... snout? Do I have a snout? I nuzzle my face against him. Yeah, face is a better word.
"What the- a wolf?" He says. Yeah, he's Nico. "Oh, you're the wolf that stares at me from that tree. Hey, wolf." He pats my head. "I'm Nico. I'll call you Sunshine. Your eyes look familiar for some reason."

He sits on the ground next to me. "Can I complain to you a little bit, Sunshine?" He doesn't wait for an answer, which makes sense, because wolves don't answer. "My sister died here. A few years ago, right there, on a full moon like tonight. So I come and leave her flowers, to honor her memory." Nico sighs loudly. "I worry that if I don't keep coming, I'll forget her. But that's kind of silly, don't you think? I don't think I'm capable of forgetting her. I miss her."

Oh dang. This is beyond my furry capabilities. I need to enlist human Will. I jump up and wiggle. "Are you okay?" Nico asks. I shake my head. "Yeah...... I'm just gonna go." He stands up and walks back into his car. At the last moment, I jump in with him.
"Get out. Get out, Sunshine." He tries to push me out of the car, but I'm too strong. Nico eventually gives up. "Fine. You can come with me."

Looking back, that was a bad choice. I shouldn't have hopped into his car, or refused to get out when he tried to push me away. Because now, I am locked inside his house. I followed him in here, like an idiot, and now I am trapped. It's not all bad though. He talks to me a lot. Nico says he talks to himself often, so having someone else to do that with is kinda nice. It makes him feel less weird.

I find out a lot about him. His favorite food is pasta with pesto. He uses lavender scented shampoo when he showers. He has a crush on one of his co workers. He won't say who.

Okay, I just realized that I made it sound like I watched him shower. I did not. I would like to make it clear that as much as I'd like to see Nico's butt, I'd like for him to know it's me, and for him to be okay with it. Just wanted to make sure I said that. Back to my regularly scheduled freak out.

I had made the mistake of jumping into his car and following him home, and now I'm 'sleeping' on the bottom of the bed. It should be fine as long as I don't fall asleep. As soon as the full moon is no longer in the sky, I will no longer be a wolf. Then I can slip out from under the covers and leave. It's a full proof plan.

NPOV
I wake up and walk to my kitchen, halfway done with my coffee when I remember Sunshine. I go over to my bed to see if he's still sleeping, but he's gone. I check the rest of my home. He's not anywhere. Maybe I dreamed about him? No. He was too real. I put my coffee in a portable mug and head to work.

"Hey, Nico." My coworker, Will, says. I look at him and something clicks. Those eyes.
"Sunshine?"

AN/// I've gotten so many wolf AU requests. Here you go, you beautiful furries.
