Crying With The Wolves (Aarmau Werewolf Au)

Up and Running

⚠️TW: SCARS⚠️

The Falconclaw Pack:

Aphmau woke up and slipped out of Aaron's grasp, getting her clothes ready for a shower. Only 2 minutes after Aphmau got away from her boyfriend, he woke up.

She felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her waist, he reaction to this was nothing less than a blushy, nervous greeting.

"H-Hi!" Aaron chuckled softly, his breath against her neck. Aphmau wasn't as nervous around him as she was with everyone else. She got flustered but she felt safe. She was most comfortable around him because she knew he wouldn't hurt her.

"Still not used to that, huh."

"Hey now..." He kissed her neck as she jokingly tried to squirm away from him. "I gotta take a shower! I feel greasy in the mornings!" Aphmau whined.

"Can I join you?"

"Aaron!"

"I'm just kidding! I mean...unless you want me to..."

"Aaron!" She ducked under his arms and moved into the bathroom, laughing as she shut the door behind her. She could hear him cackling from the other room.

She stripped out of her pajamas and placed her clothes for after she was done showering on the counter with the sink. Once the water had heated up, she stepped in. The feeling of physical comfort pelted her skin in the form of non-stop drops.

She looked down at her scar-filled body. She couldn't stop the wave of sadness from washing over her, leaving her distant from her mind. She didn't want it to affect her, but that did mean it didn't hurt. The things that he did to her never left her mind. She had reminders all up her body. She never got her closure. She could've tried to think about her scars positively by remembering that she survived through those cruel days, weeks, months, and years, but she didn't want to. She wasn't ready to let go yet. She was still angry. She was allowed to be angry.

She had been trapped in her mind for long enough. She turned off the water. She dried off her body and realized that had forgotten the clothes she picked out on the chair by the bathroom in their room. 

She wrapped the towel around herself, opening the door slightly. She didn't see or hear Aaron at the moment so she thought that he had gone to get breakfast.

Walking into the room, she clung to the towel so that it wouldn't fall down. The last thing she wanted was to be naked in Aaron's room, whether he was in there or not. She heard the walk-in closet door open, spinning around to face the noise. Aaron was standing without a shirt and staring at her. A flustered look appeared on his face after a moment of looking at his luna up and down. He looked back into the closet. "Sorry, um, I can leave the room if you want."

"No it's- it's okay. I can just go back in the bathroom," Aphmau turned back around, grabbing her clothing and returning to the bathroom to change. (just black shorts, a tee-shirt, and a big red hoodie that belonged to Aaron)

Aphmau took a breath and walked back out. Aaron had a shirt on the next time she walked out of the room but he faced her with a blushy grin. "Shall we go to breakfast?"

"Yeah, yeah let's do that."

Aaron took Aphmau's hand gently and they walked down the halls towards the dining room. It was 6 o'clock when they woke up and now it was around 7 so they didn't miss breakfast (thankfully). They sat down at the table with the pack members and Aaron's family. Ein and Tatiana didn't feel comfortable enough to join the pack yet.

They talked about pack things, which bored Aphmau half to death, so she zoned out. She realized that she hadn't seen Jeff in quiet some time so she went to the room to find him and feed him. She quietly excused herself from the table.
