Hi, as I'm rushing to finish this, everything is unedited.
There's a shot of a explicit at the end, warning beforehand lol.
Those waiting for smut, you're welcome.

When I came home, rustling came from the opening of my secret place until Orion, in human form, leaped from it and fell midway to my bed. That is, half his torso and most of his legs painfully on the floor with a thud.
He winced.
I sighed and his head turned, wincing into a smile. I ignored this and went to him, bending down as he tried to raise his legs but I stopped him just in time for a moan to mewl out of his lips, face scrunching up. "Keep it down. It doesn't look like it's broken, but it'd be best not to move it." I raised my head to his level, snowflakes just melting on his curls while he grinned wryly. "You know you could've kept the wolf form until you've landed safely, right?"
"I thought I could've done it a little more gracefully," he admitted.
I rolled my eyes, then assessed every inch of his skin that I could see.
He titled his head. "You're staring. Why are you staring?"
"Marga told us about a werewolf that's been causing the hunters trouble." I stared at him, assessed every emotion that flickered. "A werewolf that managed to even bother Hunter enough that he wasn't at the diner today."
"Poor bastard." He tilted his head, mouth twitching.
"Which one I wonder?"
"The one who couldn't seen you today."
I blinked. "What?"
Orion smiled softly. "Nothing, come on. Help me up. Let's go make dinner."
I pursed my lips. "Fine. But didn't you win? Shouldn't you just lay on the couch and enjoy being the Pizza King winner?" I offered my hand and he grasped it tightly, pulling his weight before he stood and towered over me.
"Sometimes, even the king has to mingle with his subjects."
I let go of his hand, clenching my fist. He was so warm. I wonder how snow could possibly stick without immediately melting. Without turning back, I muttered, "Just stay safe, okay?"
"I've been making sure to keep them in circles. I'm actually having fun."
I went around the counter, arching an eyebrow. "Fun, is it?"
"I promise you dear, they won't touch this." He threw in a wink for good measures.
I stared at him for far longer than necessary. Then hiccuped. Turning around, I murmured, "Better clean up though. Hunter is coming up for dinner on Christmas Eve."
