[ originally this concept was "monster lewis being very reluctant to get anywhere even close to biting" but,,, yeah,,, being unmotivated sucks ass and i apologize ]

A few days before the full moon always meant Lewis had worked himself into a frenzy, in more ways than one. There was the obvious anxiety over whether or not this would finally be the Change where he broke out and hurt one of his friends. And, obviously, he wouldn't get to see his boyfriend for at least three days, and that didn't go over well with Lewis' clingy, stupid self.

Luckily, though, Alex had came over to spend time with him, although he half suspected it was only because he'd complained over text about having awful aches and pains compared to normal. Alex was  nice like that, although very misguided in the belief he held that some of his inherent fae abilities would dull the pain of the oncoming Change.

They'd spent most of the day laying together on Lewis' bed, watching stupid videos on his phone. He took frequent breaks to get something to eat, having to overload on calories just to be on the safe side during the upcoming days. Fucking lycanthropy.

The steady rhythm of Alex's hand rubbing circles on his hip wasn't having the normal effect, either. No, of course nothing could be normal today, although a nap did sound like a pretty damn good idea. Instead, in a surprisingly smooth movement for Lewis the klutz, he slid into his boyfriend's lap.

Naturally, Alex's hands still came to rest on his hips, a bit of a surprised smile on his lips. "You good, baby?"

"Better with you here," he replied, gently cupping his jaw. "I'll call you as soon as it's safe for me to leave my room, just like always."

Alex nodded, carefully sliding his hands upwards, underneath Lewis' button-up to trail along his sides. "I'll come see you again as soon as I can, like I always do," he replied in a similar tone.

He couldn't help the pathetic way he shuddered at the simple touch, feeling so keyed up that he really didn't have the presence of mind to be embarrassed by the way his body was reacting. His hands dropped down to weakly clutch at Alex' shirt, while he rested his face against the other man's shoulder.

Alex almost wanted to laugh. But, like the nice guy he was, he didn't. He knew this was hard for Lewis to deal with, and he tried to be sympathetic. The warmth radiating from Lewis's face alone was enough to stop him from making any jokes.

Instead, he pecked Lewis' cheek, then started unbuttoning his shirt. "How are you feeling? Like... pain-wise?"

"Like my bones are getting ready to rearrange themselves, but I'm fine," Lewis answered, pushing Alex's hands away to finish taking his shirt off himself.

But before Lewis had the time to go anything else, a knock on the bedroom door stopped them both. "Sorry if I'm interrupting, but it's past the time you normally get locked in, so..."

"Give us a minute, Logan!" Lewis all but growled, but then he lowered his voice to tell Alex, "After this is over, I'm just going to your apartment. You don't have roommates that like to interrupt things."

monster chase is ten times worse than regular chase in my opinion. if normal chase is chaos cubed, then monster chase must be like chaos to the tenth power.

i'm very torn between keeping things plotted like they are and changing some stuff to link ronnie and bailey together. i've talked about that possibility before and i'm kinda attached to it lmao

thing where lewis calls a house meeting just to remind everyone to not take strange food from alex bc he cares about them and doesn't want to see his boyfriend 'accidentally' turn someone into a rat or something bc of the adverse effects of faerie food on non-faerie beings

(alex likes doing shit like that as a joke and someone has definitely accidentally drank some faerie alcohol or something and ended up with fuckin donkey ears or something)

lewis doesn't even let anyone drink after him, because he's always been paranoid that it's something in saliva that passes on lycanthropy and he doesn't want to take chances
