"Animal Instinct" (Louis & Legosi x Male!Reader)

Chapter 8: The Gentle Wolf

You couldn't get to sleep easily, just like last night, even if your body and mind begged for it. You thought of Legosi. You thought of everything. You thought of Tem. You couldn't sleep..

You couldn't sleep.. 

Your mind was racked with thoughts..

Was that scream from last night.. Tem's? You remembered waking to a scream.. 

You shuddered, unable to think properly. Your mind was filled with doubts, and fears. What if that was Tem's scream? His final breath before.. 

Your train of thought derailed when you heard the door open. 

You opened the curtain of your little sleeping nook, looking out into the darkness, only to see the undeniable silhouhette of Legosi. He seemed a bit more.. undone, as if something big had happened. You closed the curtain as he seemed to look your way, though it was obvious you'd been found out. 

You heard clothes hitting the floor, and then were met by your little curtain being opened.. Legosi's eyes stared at you in the darkness. He was silent for a while, before whispering. "Mind.. if I join you..?" You gave a nod, moving a bit to allow him inside. He took that as your answer, and moved into your little nook with you. 

You rolled a bit, laying on your shoulder, your back to Legosi.. and then you felt an arm around you. The arm gently guided you over to Legosi's body, your head ending up on the other wolf's chest. "You.. seem stressed. In biology, I found out that contact like this can help wolves like us calm down.."

Legosi stroked your back a bit, your head on his bare chest, his strong hand stroking up and down your bare back. You didn't feel tired in the beginning, but.. the warmth of Legosi's body.. the comfort of that contact.. 

You closed your eyes, your breathing steadying as all of those stresses and worries seemed to vacate your mind. Within a moment, you felt a set of lips pressing to your forehead in a gentle manner. 

You felt at peace..

Your eyes remained closed, breaths steadying.. Everything felt so.. good.

You felt an odd feeling. An odd feeling of.. falling. It did shake you a bit, but.. you soon calmed back down. 

Your breathing slowed, and you drifted off. You slept like a rock, comfortable and warm. 

You awoke the next morning, taking a moment to realize what had happened.. If you were right, today was the first day of break. You opened your eyes, noticing Legosi, still there, his hand still on your back. He was asleep, breathing silently. He was actually sort of cute when he was sleeping..

A big, gentle wolf.. 

Here he was. He could be one of the most intimidating people in school if he tried, but, he didn't. He didn't try to be intimidating at all. 

He was just some big, gentle wolf..

And you were hopelessly enamored with him. Last night made you feel things you'd never felt before.. 

..and you wanted more of those feelings.
