That bone chilling laugh, The same from the night before, it rattles my ears, But my nerves are just as rattled. The knot in my stomach tightens. I nauseously turn to Boris, Who is on high guard already, His ears, Tail, and fur on end. My heart is beting out of my chest, So hard that I can feel it in my body. Shakily, I muster the courage to take a deep breath.

"B-Boris..", I stumbled, "The one thing you should know..I'm not like other wolves.." I shaked my head until the sudden crack of a stick breaks me from my anxious thoughts. The barely illuminated figure began to show himself.

"So, We meet again Jaxon, I didn't get you to learn your lesson to stay away, Did you?", the enemy chuckles meniachally, All went silent again, With only his raspy, Thin voice reverberated thoughout my inner thoughts, That was In FACT the person what killed my brother. That thoight only made my skin and fur crawl. Swallowing my fear, I physically and mentally prepare myself for any and all danger as  the enemy made himself present.

Aapeli, not only was he a cat, But he was the person I worked for in the Finnish Mafia before they cast me out and killed my brother. Fear was short-lived; The feeling of fear was replaced with Anger and Vengeance. That's an understatement, More like Hatred, Preparing myself to kill.

"What's the matter little puppy?", Aapeli teasingly remarked, Only making my anger boil up more, "Don't you want to join Amitola?", he chuckled before all of my Hatred lashed out at that second.

Blood stained my shirt, Fur, and Fists when I began to pound his face in unmercilfully until Boris interviened.

"Jay, Enough!" Boris snapped, Cluthing his large paws around my arms, Yanking me back as I fought to escape.

He finally let me go, Then I was struck by Aapeli who wasn't taking defeat. Aapeli struck me with full force, Getting me one good time in the snout. Boris interviened one more time by grabbing his revolver out of his holster and firing about three warning shots that rang out and cause Aapeli to run into the night.  I struggled to my feet, Bleeding from my nose and slightly disoriented, Boris picked me up and carried me in his arms.

"Come on, Pup." He muttered to himself. Something was off, He said it quietly, so quiet that I could barely distinguish it over the ringing of my ears. It became clear to me that Boris has a strict motto: Don't fuck with the ones he cares about, He won't hesitate to hurt someone over the ones he cares about.

I didn't mind being with him in his arms, I wanted nothing more than to be with him.

(Boris' Point of view)

"When will people learn not to mess with who I love?", I mutter, Looking down at the sleeping bundle in my arms. He must have fallen asleep, Due to the slight snoring and twitches that emitted from his snout. Honestly, The most adorable thing on this earth.

~Very small time skip uwu~

I walked into the empty, dark, and Drafty house and flipped in the nearest light switch. I've never been so relieved to be home, Especially after that incident, but mostly because I spent the say with the love of my life, and the fact that Jay also moved in with me, like he says, that stuffy apartment wasn't good for him, and I agreed. Too many mafia members knew where he lived and harassed him daily, Luckily, Bendy and I left our mafia a long time ago, or got knows what would have happened, Luckily, Its over for the three of us.

I glance down at the viciously adorable bundle in my paws, I just couldn't put him down, He was too beautiful. I carefully make my way to his bedroom, and gently tucked him into his hammock, Tossing the softest blanket onto him. I hesitantly placed place a soft, loving peck on his forehead, Hoping to one day have him in my paws, Then exit out of the scarcely lit doorway to the living room.

I sorely stagger back into the loving room, Hurting from having to pull Jay back from that cat guy. Jay had force to him, such force that it was almost super strength. Resting my back on the soft cushions of the couch, I slowly close my eyes, Only to let them rest, But, Not too long from then is when the thoughts of him surface from the inner thoughts of my mind. I do my best to shut them out, But to no avail. He is in my every thought, Every breath, Everything I live for, he has become a part of my life, But these thoughts aren't curses, they're gifts, but there was only one problem: How can I have him in my paws, Will he even like me back?

"Who knows" I sigh silently, "Fuck it." I grumble before shakily walking back into Jay's room. I look down at him before undressing into my boxers and pick Jay up. He wakes up but barely aware, Only to bury his face into my chest fur, and clinging to me, I lie back down and pull him closer, Throwing the blankets back on us and wrapping my paws around him, Slowly rubbing my arms down his back, To soothe his sore back.

"Poor baby boy", I whisper, "Don't worry, I gotchya, Pup." I whisper before kissing his head softly and slowly drift into sleep.

~The Next Day~

Slowly opening my eyes and adjusting to the bright sun, The attempt to move Jay over so I could get out of the hammock was Successful. He must be a heavy sleeper, I snore so loud half the time, Little fella was sound asleep. The morning sun flooded the vacant living room, Making it warmer than the rest of the house and lighting it up brighter than a stagelight. Surely enough, I hear a set of feet smacking the ground behind me before feeling a set of warm paws arapping around my waist with a soft "Good morning", And a kiss on the cheek, This seemed too good to be true.

Honestly, Me, Having no knowledge of a relationship or love for that matter, This time it was different. Something told me that it was meant to be, But we still have so much farther to go, Let's see where this road takes us.
