    (Oh, it’s completely fine! Thanks for the heads up! ^^)


    “Yeah, and I would rather not get a first hand experience at that.” Juno replied as he had never been shot with bullets and he didn’t want to experience that either. To be on the safe side, Juno went over to the sink and washed his hands thoroughly to get rid of any blood or metal fragments that had gotten onto his hands without him noticing. That’s when he noticed that he had not even given his name to Alexander. “Oh, my name is Juno.” He introduced himself with a sincere smile. In his mind, Juno thought that Alexander was really nice and he was happy to be helping the werewolf out. He didn’t care if Alexander was a werewolf because Juno thought that hurting werewolves was simply wrong. Seeing that Alexander had dimples made him want to blush right then and there in front of Alex but he resisted the urge. Juno found the dimples to be quite cute though he wasn’t going to verbally say it... yet at least.


    Juno watched as Alexander put the shirt on and he did notice that it seemed to be a bit tight on him though he wasn’t going to be sayin anything about it. “Well, you’re lucky that you found me. I do not approve of werewolves being killed.” Juno told him before grabbing the bandages and putting them away in the cabinet. The brunette knew that they were going to need to get fitting clothes for Alexander that weren’t tight on him. “I’m going to need to get you some fitting clothes because it looks like mine are a little tight on you.” Juno pointed out to him.

    you’re welcome! :) ))


    Alexander let a soft laugh leave his lips at his words. “Trust me, you definitely don’t want to experience it. It is definitely something that no one should ever have to go through.” He spoke truthfully. He had grown used to people hunting him down over time. It wasn’t like he could ever fully get away from it. He had so many different scars all over his body that showed what all he had dealt with. He could make every single injury and what had caused it. This was just another on a long list. This was the first time that they had gotten to be this close to killing him. He kept his eyes on the other male as he waited to hear his name. “It is nice to meet you Juno. I am really grateful that you saved me.” He admitted. He would continue to tell him that for a very long time. He was the most appreciative that he had ever been before. His smile faded, but the content look on his expression stayed.


    “You are a rare one then. Everyone wants us dead. We don’t even attack people anymore. We just go after animals. Isn’t that crazy? I would never hurt someone.” His words were clearly true. He had never hurt anyone in his lifetime. He never even tried to attack the hunters that were always after him. He moved to carefully get himself standing. It was obvious that he was still weak, but he was beginning to feel a little better. “These aren’t bad. They are actually rather comfortable. If anything, I could have you go and get my bag. I dropped it about a mile down the road when the hunters spotted me.” He explained. All of his belongings were in it. He had some pictures in there too. He hoped that no one had stollen it by that point.

    Juno wasn't going to say it to Alexander just now, but the scars that he could see on Alexander's body were really attractive in a way. He liked them and he was curious about how Alex got each one though he could save the questions for another time. Well hell, he hardly knew the guy but he was developing a small crush on him. Juno couldn't let Alexander know that because he was nervous as to how Alex would react. Right now wasn't the time for curious questions and nagging on. But he was happy to be helping someone out, it made Juno feel really really good about himself. Well... maybe one question wouldn't hurt. "So, how do they know who is a werewolf and who isn't?" Juno questioned as werewolf hunters had never bothered him but he wanted to know how the hunters determined who was a werewolf. By now his curiosity on werewolves were really peaking up.


    "Your bag? I can go get it for you if you're willing to stay here by yourself and get some rest, well you're safe here because I doubt the hunters will be bothering people just to ask if they've seen you around here or something." Juno replied, willing to go down the road for a mile and get the bag for Alexander. Hopefully it was still laying there and nobody had snatched it up for themselves already. Juno also didn't mind walking there to get the bag, it would provide him with some nice alone time and let him think about things.

    Alexander had truly come to hate all of the scars that littered his body. He wouldn’t voice it freely, but he actually just hated his body. There were many things that had caused him to over the years. He didn’t mind Juno’s eyes tracing over it though. He had grown used to people staring at him curiously. He was a bit surprised with his question though. “Oh, um, they all look for our mark. Every since werewolf has one on their body.” He explained. He shifted the best that he could, showing him the one on his neck. It was a bit of a swirl and was much darker than his skin. “Each one is different. If you are part of a certain family though; they will be very similar.” He informed. He had never had anyone ask about it before. He didn’t mind talking about it all. He figured he would have to answer a lot of questions since he was going to be living with Juno now.


    A smile began to spread in his lips at his words. “Really? That would be amazing! Thank you so much. It couldn’t have been more than a mile down the road north. It is green.” He commented. He doubted the hunters would be looking for him in this area. He had done his best to get him off of his trail by leading them down a false trail. It would buy him some time, but he truly didn’t know how much. He felt safe around him though. The other male was unlike anyone he had met before, in a good way. He was glad that he was able to spend the time here with him.

    Juno was leaning against the bathroom counter for the time being, with him silent as he listened on to what Alexander was explaining to him. Juno was sure that Alexander could answer most questions that he had about werewolves since his curiosity about them was now peaked. The brunette would never hurt a werewolf, hell he would never even hurt a fly at that either. Well... maybe he would hurt a fly but he wouldn't hurt a werewolf. But if werewolves stopped going after people then why hunt them? Juno thought that it made no sense but for now he was trying to push those thoughts out of his brain. Right now he should be thinking about positive thoughts and the fact that Alexander was going to be alright. "Oh well, I don't have anything to worry about then. Because I thought that if I go get your bag then some hunters would jump out and think I was a werewolf." Juno tried to strain out a small laugh of amusement. "But I guess I have nothing to worry about." Juno watched Alexander curiously.


    "So, I guess you're okay with being by yourself and I will go get your bag. Just... don't break anything. And don't ransack my fridge. And don't collapse while I'm gone." Juno laughed as he briefly left to go put on some shoes and get a denim jacket to put on. Once he had the jacket and shoes on, he went back to where Alexander was. "So I'm heading out to get your bag now and what's in the bag? Just... out of curiosity." Juno was curious as to what was in the bag and he was hoping that it wasn't heavy in weight. As he asked this, he was putting his hair up into a messy ponytail for the time being.

    Alexander was appreciative that he didn’t interrupt him as he spoke. He could see that Juno was itching to ask him multiple different questions. He just hoped that he didn’t spew them all out at once. Juno seemed to be a kind person. It was a nice change from everyone else. He was rather glad that he would be living with him now. A smile came to his lips at the attempt of a joke on Juno’s end. It made him feel really good. “It would be terrible if they did, but I promise that they won’t. I think that I managed to lead them away from here for now. They will realize that I am not dead eventually and start looking for me again. I want to warn you of that now. I don’t want for you to get hurt because of me.” He confessed. He would feel terrible if he did. He would do everything that he could do to protect the other male once he was healed. He nodded his head a little then.


    “I won’t, don’t worry. I think I am just going to lay down and take a nap.” He admitted. He was still exhausted from the day before. He was sure the sleep that would be good for him. He moved to begin to jake his way out of the bathroom when Juno returned to him. “It just has my clothes and a few photos of my family in it. I promise that it is nothing to get you into any trouble.” He assured. He offered him another smile then. “Thank you.” He added. He then began to make his way towards the bedroom.

    “I’m pretty sure that I can take care of myself. But I wouldn’t doubt that you’ll try to protect me once you’re all nice and better.” Juno laughed as he started to leave but stopped and wondered if he should give Alexander his phone number so if something did happen then Alexander could use the house phone to call Juno’s cell phone. Juno hurried to get a small notepad and pen before quickly writing down his phone number to which he hurried back over to Alexander. “If anything happens at all, you can use the house phone to call my cell phone.” Juno explained before letting out a heavy breath as if he had ran for a long time. “Okay, I’m going now. I’ll be back in maybe an hour or so.” The brunette shrugged as he was unsure as to how long he would be gone. With that, Juno was finally heading on outside, locking the door behind him and he started to walk down the road at a leisurely pace.


    For the most part, everything seemed quiet and that didn’t bother Juno. He just walked down the road whilst looking for a green bag lying there in hopes that nobody had come around and stole it before he could actually get to it. Juno gripped onto his cellphone just in case it rang and it was Alexander calling. Occasionally, he would look at it but he began to wonder if he was worrying about Alexander too much. He decided that he was and he should only focus on getting the bag and taking it right back to Alexander. After a while of leisurely walking, Juno spotted the bag and he hurried over to grab it, not wanting to invade Alexander’s privacy by snooping around in the bag. He left the bag zipped up and made his way back to the house. Should he call Alexander and say that he’s safely got the bag and was making his way back? No, it would be better for Juno to surprise Alexander perhaps. He went from walking to jogging... nothing strange about that since it looked like he was just out for a morning jog with a bag that could be perceived as his by others. The brunette was just trying to hurry his way back to the house and it took him about half an hour to get back to the house. Juno was feeling a little breathless as he entered the house, closing and locking the door before making his way to the bedroom. “I got the bag for you.” Juno said breathlessly, sitting the bag on the bed.

    Alexander smiled gently at his words. He liked his optimism, but he was still worried. He knew these hunters. He had seen the way that they had been. He had dealt with them over the years. They had killed his family after all. “I promise that I will do everything that I can to protect you once I am healed. You may be able to take care of yourself, but I don’t trust the hunters. Those people are wild. They are crazy.” He spoke softly. It was clear that he had dealt with them plenty over time. He didn’t want to scare the poorly boy though. Juno didn’t seem to be worried about all of that. He watched as he finally came back in with the piece of paper. “Okay. I will see you once you get back.” He stated. He put the paper on the bedside table. He had been planning on heading to the guest room to sleep, but he couldn’t find it in him. He ended up laying on Juno’s bed and falling asleep. It was clear how exhausted he had been.


    He had slept for most of the time that Juno was gone. It was habit to wake up once he heard the door open. He opened his eyes, then widening some as he looked towards the door. His shoulders began to relax when Juno came back to the room. He could feel a smile coming to his lips when he saw his bag in his hands. “Thank you would much. Is there any way that I might be able to wash my clothes?” He asked curiously. He slowly managed to get himself sitting up. “Why are you out of breath?” He added on. He hoped that he hadn’t ended up having to run from hunters. He would be terrified if he found that out.

    Juno appreciated Alexander’s protectiveness of him. He liked that and he honestly found that to be really attractive. Oh, what in the world was he thinking honestly? He wasn’t even sure if he was Alexander’s type. Juno was sure that Alexander only liked other werewolves so he wasn’t going to bother to ask if Alexander liked him. “I’m going to be washing your clothes.” Juno told him as he reached to open and the bag and he started to take his clothes out. He was still out of breath a little so a few heavy pants left his lips whilst he was focused on getting his breath back. He wanted Alexander to rest so he didn’t mind doing things for him. “I’m fine. I was just jogging and I pushed myself a little too hard I guess. Just trying to hurry up and get your bag back to you.” Juno explained, not wanting Alexander to worry about him so he went to add on, “I didn’t see any hunters out there so I think we’re good.” The brunette reassured him gently and then he got his breath back.


    “I don’t really mind washing your clothes for you. I want you to rest.” Juno said in an insistent tone of voice. He was used to washing his own clothes so he didn’t mind it. And Juno didn’t want Alexander pushing too hard but rather he wanted the werewolf to take it easy and relax whilst Juno did his laundry and all. The brunette took Alexander’s clothes out of the bag and then he gave the werewolf a curious look.

    Alexander had no clue of the ideas that the other male was having about him. If he did, he would be rather surprised but was a nice change from everything that he had been that he had dealt with over the years. He would honestly be lying though if he didn’t think that Juno was attractive. He didn’t was push anything like that though. He felt like it would be too soon to try for it. Besides, the other male wouldn’t want to be with a werewolf. There were far too many risks. It would be flattering to know that someone found you attractive in that way. He blinked out fo his thoughts when he heard his words. He smiled some as the other began to pull the clothes out of his bag. “Thank you. You have no clue how much it means to me.” He was sure that he wouldn’t be able to get standing. He was already still in a large amount of pain.


    He relaxed as he heard that he had been just jogging. “Oh, that’s good. I was really worried that you were being chased. I’m glad that you are okey.” He spoke truthfully. He shifted to lay back down then. He hoped that Juno didn’t mind that he was laying in his bed. “Do you have anything that might help with my pain? It is still there and it really is getting to me.” His voice was a bit quieter then. He shifted around a little bit more. He was very uncomfortable at the current moment. “Oh! Can I get something to eat too?” He hadn’t eaten in a few days.

    Juno sweetly smiled at Alexander. “It’s no trouble. I want you to take it easy until you get better.” He said as he watched the other male and he picked up the clothing. “And once you get better then you can start protecting me from the hunters.” He added on to say with a small giggle, having a sincere grin on his face. Then he heaved a heavy sigh, his legs starting to hurt a little bit from all that jogging that he had done on the way back to his house. “I have some painkillers that I can give you. They’ll help you out.” Juno said and then he bit his lip. “Anything specific that you want to eat?” Juno asked out of curiosity, wanting to make sure that Alexander was comfortable.


    He considered himself to be a pretty good cook so he was willing to cook anything that Alexander might want to eat. “Okay, I’m going to go ahead and get your clothes in the washer.” Juno informed before leaving to the laundry room where he got to work on putting the clothes in the washer after turning it on and adding in detergent and fabric softener. Juno closed the washer lid and rubbed his forehead. He padded to the kitchen and got the painkillers as well as a glass of ice water and immediately went back to his room. “Here are the painkillers.” Juno handed them over to Alexander as well as the glass of water.

    Alexander was beginning to realize just how kind the other male actually was. He had never met anyone like him. It was incredible that he didn’t seem to be with anyone or living with anyone. He was rather luck that he had drug himself here last night. “Thank you. I’m sorry I am laying in your bed. It is really comfortable and your sheets smell nice.” His sense of smell was a bit heightened due to him being a werewolf. He watched the smile that came onto his face and it actually made his heart warm up some. “That I can. I already don’t want for anything to happen to you.” He spoke truthfully. He reached a hand up to rub his face. He shifted a little bit more, finally finding a position that he found comfortable. He kept his gaze on him, his blue eyes softening.


    “The painkillers sound awesome. As for food, I am not picky at all. I’m just starving. It think there it has been four days since I last ate?” He thought back on it, letting out a soft hum. He shrugged a little bit to look at him. “You know, you have nice hair.” He spoke randomly. He couldn’t help himself any. He liked to be upfront about some things. He would probably blurt out how attractive he found the other male in a day or so. He nodded a little as he watched him run off. He waited patiently for him to return. He managed to get himself sitting back up when he finally returned. He carefully took the painkillers. “Thank you so much. If you don’t mind, can I stay in here for now? I feel more comfortable being around others when I sleep and all.” He stated.

    “It’s fine. I’m glad that you’re comfortable and I’m glad you love my bed.” The brunette said sweetly. As long as Alexander was comfy, then Juno was happy and didn’t need to worry about him. He nodded a little and once he had given Alexander the painkillers and the glass of ice cold water, he was grinning sheepishly. “Yeah, I don’t mind. Whatever makes you comfortable, Alex.” Juno nodded before finally leaving so he could make the werewolf something to eat. Upon reaching the kitchen, Juno got to cooking some beef and chicken, something simple really but hopefully enough to satisfy Alexander for now. He cut them open, put them in a pan which had a teaspoon full of oil and waited. Occasionally he stirred them and played on his phone whilst he waited for it to be done cooking. Juno grabbed a paper plate and scooped the chopped up beef and chicken onto the plate before grabbing a small tray and placing the plate on there as well as a fork. And he added a bit of parsley and pepper to add in some flavor. Satisfied, Juno carried the tray back to his room.


    “Okay, I got you something to eat.” Juno cheerfully said as he entered the bedroom and set the tray on the bed. “How’re you feeling? Have the painkillers kicked in yet?” Juno asked curiously as he sat on the edge of the bed and watched the werewolf. The brunette longed to just blurt out his feelings and get that off of his chest just so that he would know Alexander’s answer. However, he couldn’t bring himself to say something... not yet at least. It could wait for now.

    Alexander seemed to relax even more as he heard that. “I’m guessing that you won’t mind if I sleep in here at night then? I kind of like cuddling too, so that’s a fair warning for you.” He commented with a soft chuckle. It was hinting at what he had felt for the other male, but he did f want to blurt it all out just yet. He had noticed the sweet tone that he held when he spoke. It made him feel even better. Hearing that he just wanted to have him comfortable was everything. He was aware that his feelings were probably based just on how kind he was being towards him at the moment. No one was this his kind to him at anytime. That was why he was falling so quickly. He stayed quiet as he walked out of the room. It wasn’t long until he was able to smell the food. It smelt absolutely amazing. His stomach was growling by that point. He almost wanted to fall asleep again while he waited, but he made sure not to.


    He looked really happy when he finally came back in. “It smells amazing. I’m feeling better too. I think I just need to eat and get some more sleep. Do you need to go anywhere now or are you willing to lay down with me after I eat?” He asked hopefully. He really wanted to get even more comfortable after he ate. He carefully lifted the fork and began to eat. “This tastes fantastic, thank you so much. You are a great cook.” He confessed. He smiled gently over at him. It was obvious that he hadn’t eaten in quite a while.

    “I won’t mind at all. And cuddling is okay with me as well.” Juno assured as there wasn’t anything wrong with cuddling. Actually, he was happy that he was sharing his bed with Alexander. It was a pleasant change and he wouldn’t be sleeping alone anymore. Juno was a small cuddler himself so sleeping alone was a little lonely for him. And when Alexander praised how the food smelled, it made Juno’s heart warm sweetly as he craved any sort of praise on his cooking. And he waited for the werewolf to take a bite of it. “Oh, no I don’t need to go anywhere so I’ll lay with you after you’re done eating.” Juno smiled as he remained on the edge of the bed, grinning when Alexander took a bite. “I’m really glad you like it. You know I’ll cook anything that you want to eat.” Juno giggled as he could tell that it’s been awhile since Alexander had last ate.


    Juno felt so glad that he had taken Alexander under his wing. He’s never been in a serious relationship and he as falling for Alexander quite quickly. And he had a lot of reasons as to why he was falling for the werewolf. Alexander was handsome, kind, protective, sweet, and praised his cooking. Juno was just praying that Alexander had feelings for him as well as that would be making him so happy. His heart felt warm and fuzzy around Alexander so maybe the werewolf was feeling the same way. Juno reached up and he took his hair out of the messy ponytail.

    Alexander grinned when he heard those words. He was grateful that the other male seemed to be so willing with all of this. He had been worried that he would be uncomfortable around him. He just liked the touches that were brought on by cuddling. “I’m glad that it doesn’t bother you.” He confessed. He continued to eat then, staying quiet as he did so. He sipped in the water that was leftover from when he took his pills every now and then. “Okay, thank you.” He couldn’t only assume that Juno had a job that he would eventually have to go to, but he was glad that he didn’t need to leave just yet. “Really? That would be awesome. I’m really not a picky eater. It will be nice to have meals every single day too.” He added. It didn’t take him too long until he finished eating. He put the plate on the bedside table then.


    He carefully shifted to lay down again after he finished eating. It was clear that he was beginning to feel a lot better. The pain medicine was finally kicking it and he wasn’t hungry. It was clear how much he had needed this. “Thank you for everything that you have done for me so far. You have truly been the nicest person that I have ever met.” He spoke softly. He had turned his head to look over at him with curious eyes. He looked even more attractive with his hair down.

    Juno nodded a little and simply watched Alexander eat whilst anxiously awaiting for the chance to lay down right next to him. It was going to be a little weird since they didn’t know each that much but Juno didn’t care and he was eager to potentially cuddle up with the werewolf. Maybe tomorrow, if he had the courage to of course, he could just pour out his feelings to Alexander and see how the werewolf would react to that... hopefully the werewolf wouldn’t laugh at him or anything bad like that. “Good. I’ll surprise you with things that I like to cook.” Juno giggled and once Alexander was done eating, he crawled over and laid down next to Alex. This felt really nice and relaxing. Why, Juno could spend the rest of the day cuddling with Alex if he could and he smiled a bit at the thought.


    “You’re welcome. I’m glad that I’m helping you get better.” Juno murmured as a few stands of brunette hair fell over his left eye. He didn’t pay them any mind and he was just focused with being comfortable there next to the werewolf. His heart ached to tell Alexander how he felt but he really did not need to ruin this lovely and peaceful moment by pouring his confessing feelings out to the other male. So, he shook the achy feeling off and watched Alexander for a bit. “You’re safe here, you know. I doubt the hunters are going to be looking for you here. They’re probably long gone now.” Juno tried to reassure Alexander by saying that there was a possibility that the hunters were long gone by now. And surely the hunters wouldn’t bother him just to ask where Alex was right?

    Alexander didn’t mind that Juno was just watching him as he ate. His gaze wasn’t like the others. It wasn’t judging him. He glanced over at him, offering him a smile. He couldn’t help himself any. He really was enjoying his company and it was showing by that point. He shifted to be closer towards the other male then. He closed his eyes partly. He couldn’t wait to cuddle with him actually. It would be nice to have someone holding him again. He had a relationship before, but it was quite a long time ago. He had seen him die in front of him. He had sworn off relationships since then. This was the first time that he had actually felt like this towards someone since then. It was a nice change. He smiled gently over at him as well. “I’m glad to hear that. I love any food and every food.” He laughed some.


    “It means absolutely everything to me, trust me.” He whispered. His body was lightly pressed up against him. He made sure that his wound wasn’t touching him though. He wanted to feel good about his reassurances that he wasn’t going to be hunted down here. He wished that he could believe him. He had just never been safe anywhere. “I hope so. I swear that they always watch me though. I’m just not used to being able to relax any. This will be a big change.” He murmured.

    Juno smiled sweetly at Alexander and he just laid his head on a pillow and got comfy on the bed. Cuddling usually lulled him to sleep but he didn't want to fall asleep just yet at least anyways and the brunette was immediately cuddling up to Alexander, not sure if he was making his little crush on the werewolf obviously clear. But he didn't give a care if he was making it obvious to him because Juno was really comfortable right now. He noticed that Alexander was really warm and he eagerly leaned into that warmth, sighing at how comfortable he was. Juno curled up and he looked at Alexander with a soft gaze. "You can relax here, Alex." The brunette murmured softly to him, wanting the werewolf to be relaxed and comfortable here at his house.


    "I doubt they'll come knocking on my door asking where you're at." The brunette went on to mumble softly as he heaved out another sigh. Juno let his eyes close and he focused on this sweet and relaxing moment. He hoped they could just relax and probably take a really soothing nap. "Mmm, but this is so comfortable." Juno said as he let his eyes remain closed and he was curled into a slight fetal position which was really comfortable for him.

    Alexander waited for the other male to get comfortable beside him, not minding the fact that the two of them were pressed up against each other. It actually made him feel much more comfortable then he had before. The warmth that came from his body was also helping keep him relax. His eyes partly closed as he laid there, a light wound leaving his lips. It was clear to see that he was feeling better by that point. The food had been a big part in it. “I know. I’m not used to be able to relax like this though. I always end up having to run when I just finally get comfortable in a place. It is a nice change, trust me.” He assured in a whisper. It would probably end up taking him a very long time until he ended up being able to fully relax. He only hoped that no one would come and ruin it.


    “I doubt so too, but I always worry. It is one of the normal things for my kind. You are lucky that you were born a human. I would give anything to be a human.” He confessed in a mumble. He stayed quiet then as his eyes began to shut the rest of the way. He didn’t mind the fact that the other male seemed to be dozing off as well. He allowed his breathing to even out and he was quickly asleep. His body was fully relaxed then.
