His Happiness, Her Demise

Chapter 12

The meteor festival dawns on the school quickly. After declining to be the "star" of the performance, Juno is quick to take the opportunity. Louis doesn't shy away from voicing his annoyance at my lack of participation. I scoff at his words,

"I only mean that you would be perfect to play such a carnivore."

Watching silently as students and workers scuttle around the area. I catch Haru's gaze, noticing she is struggling to set up her stand, I wander over to offer a hand. After a failed attempt at shooing me away, I find myself holding a large metal bucket filled with flowers.

Very strong smelling flowers.

My nose twitches slightly as I stifle a sneeze. Withholding a chuckle, I observe on in amusement as she glances at Legosi. Once, Twice, Three times.

"Just go talk to him, you stubborn little rabbit."

Haru jokingly kicks my shin before heading off. Putting the bucket down on the ground, I sigh in relief as a strong sneeze escapes me. Keeping an eye on Haru as she approaches Legosi before slowly moving closer. I apprehensively examine Juno and the Herbivore dancers on stage.

The music soon fades out and I cringe at Junos voice as she speaks. My eyes meet hers harshly as she summons Legosi up onto the stage, quickly I take his place beside Haru. The rabbit stares on sadly at the two wolves on stage but is soon overwhelmed with anxiousness at the waves of rage rolling off of my body.

People closest to us begin to shuffle away slightly, feeling unsettled at the sudden change. Juno sweats under the flames of my stare, refusing to make eye contact when seeing that my eyes had taken their yellow, predatory hue.

Deciding to stand up straight and make my presence known, I take my more natural stance.

It is what I was trained to do.

My shoulders squared, my back straight as a pin, my head level and my hands placed behind my back. The herbivores are the first to take notice of this and scuttle away from me, the carnivores keep a close watch on my enraged frame.

Towering over most, my 5'10 stature is intimidating on its own. That matched with my seemingly impossible control over my predatory instincts, I am a force to be reckoned with.

Sensing the heartbreak and despair that Haru feels, I crouch next to her.

"Don't worry about her. She has done this only to make you feel this way, it is not want Legosi wants."

Leaving Haru's side, I stroll leisurely after Juno and Legosi as she drags him forcefully towrads the candle lighting area.

'light a candle and your relationship will last forever!'

It's all bullshit.

Legosi stutters slightly at Juno's words but is relieved at my sudden intrusion.

"Hi cutie,"

I tug Legosi's arms out of Juno's hands and hug him tightly before pushing him a little further away from the crummy little she bitch. Juno glares at me while I grin playfully.

"Sorry to interrupt but Lego, you have places to be! Someone needed to talk to you or something?"

An innocent look covers my face as Legosi blushes under my gaze, I choose to ignore Juno's distasteful scowl.

"But we were-"

"Who was-"

Tutting at them both condescendingly, I ruffle Juno's hair in a childish form.
