Dystopian Future

Ezra could herd people, or rather the wolves move around in the top floor, but not more than that.
"Wow, they sound like elephants moving" Rivik complained and even if he had better hearing that Ezra the shaman smirked.
"Want me to show you how it sounds when a elephant is moving" he asked and Rivik took his eyes from the documents and looked at him.
"Do you even know a elephant?"
"No, but I can enter the spirit world and find one" for a second Rivik seemed to think about it, like it was a good idea.
"Nah, they take to much space" he answered before he returned to the documents and Ezra placed the last ingredient in the love potion before he took a step back.
"Let's start with the amulets"

They headed over to the other room just as he heard someone walking down the stairs.
"It's Jax and Xue" Rivik informed him and Ezra only nodded wondering if the brother had gotten enough of the other two. He still couldn't believe that Zemin did that to his brother, he must know how it effected the younger one. But on the other hand, he had no idea what the other two were doing. "Do you think they are doing it?"
Rivik's question made Ezra turn towards him, almost disgusted for a second.
"One of them is a fucking wolf" he said to the fox, hoping that no matter what the two of them had, it didn't involved Zemin being in his beast form.
"So, some likes it. And ghouls are crazy" Rivik smirked and Ezra sighed.
"I will believe they aren't that idiotic and leave it at that, not wishing to think about the images you just out in my head" Ezra complained as Rivik laughed. However he actually hoped that the ghoul could give Zemin what he wished for, not only because he would be left alone, no also because the wolf deserved some happiness. Ezra wasn't blind or stupid, just as much as Zemin's actions could scare or hurt him, his actions did the same, or rather lack of actions. He knew what he gave Zemin wasn't enough, but the Ghoul seemed to be all over the wolf, and hopefully he could give Zemin what he wished for. For a second Ezra surprised himself, seeing that he thought of someone else happiness, but Zemin wasn't a bad person, and if he hadn't been as fucked up as he had, Zemin's actions hadn't been seen up as wrong. So maybe he just hoped the wolf could be happy, knowing someone would be in this town.
"You are thinking about him again" Rivik pointed out and Ezra turned towards him, surprised but the fox didn't say anything more and Ezra chose not to comment it, as he started with a fertile amulet, choosing not to think about the strange things people asked for.

“Oh come on! Stop being such a coward”, Alec complained and started tugging at the fluffy tail. “It’s going to be fine, Zemin, werewolves heal quickly. But I suppose you already know that, don’t you?” He asked as one of the dark eyebrows raised once again.
If I end up with a permanent tail, I swear to god I’ll kill you, Zemin promised, before jumping down from the couch and making his way into the bathroom.
“I’ve already seen you shift like five hundred times, why’re you always so insecure about it?” The ghoul shouted after him and scraped at the couch fabric, closing his eyes tightly shut when the sound of crackling bones reached the living room. If the wolf himself couldn’t get over the disgusting sounds, no one else could. No matter how many times he turned, it never got any easier in the end. The pain was always horrible, the sounds gross and the overall feeling trapping. When the change had already started, there was nothing to do about it but follow all the way through. And that, that was probably the biggest weakness of a werewolf - how vulnerable they were during the shift.

Zemin started down at his hands, observing frohe crackling bones that moved underneath the skin. So it had actually gone jut fine, changing back and all. He fell back towards the floor with a deep sigh and pulled the shaking hands through the thick hair. Even though it had gone smoothly, it didn’t mean it hadn’t hurt like shit. Sure, he hadn’t screamed or made any sounds, however that didn’t really portray any of the real feelings.
“Are you okay? See, I told you it’d go just fine!” Alec said and squatted down before the shorter man, placing his hands on the slim shoulders.
“Yeah, but it still hurt like a bitch, so you own me”, Zemin bit back and let his hands travel up and down the ghouls face, across the pale, porcelain skin. “You’re so hot, you know that right?” He whispered with wide eyes, looking almost as cute as he’d done a couple of minutes before.
“Well, obviously”, Alec answered with a laugh and grasped both of the smaller hands, allowing his thumbs to stroke across the equally porcelain like skin. “It’s so weird how you can still look so gorgeous even after turning”, he continued and leaned over the older one, pinning him against the floor. “You’re like the most beautiful person out there..I mean, look at these rosy cheeks and the freckles. If I didn’t know any better, I’d just gobble you right up.” The grin spread across the younger mans face as he started picking the slightly pink cheeks, leaving them both laughing.
“Stop fooling around, you know I don’t like when you act like I’m some cute little princess”, Zemin eventually snapped and placed his hands around Alec’s cheeks, pulling him closer only to end it with a sweet kiss. Damn, he’d missed this. How many heats hadn’t he gone a heat through without being able to get any kind of relief? Maybe this was for the best, or?

A couple of floors below, Xue frowned. He could hear both what Ezra and Rivik had discussed as well as what was currently happening up in the attic.
You guys are gross, he stated as he followed Jax through one of the doors. Werewolves don’t fuck with humans while in their true forms, that’d just be wrong. And they’re not doing it..or well, maybe they are but that’s not any of our business, the young wolf continued with a grimace as he started looking at all the objects scattered around the room. There were a couple of pens and a sketchbook on top of the counter, but other than that he couldn’t place anything. Everything was so odd, so new.
By the way, do you have some of that tea? Or water? Food? I’m really thirsty and I’m literally starving”, Xue complained and started scraping his paw against one of the carpets. [i]I'm not Zemin, so I won’t look at you with those puppy eyes but..please?

Ezra didn't stop at first, being in a delicate part of the making, and he knew that if he stopped he could either destroy the whole thing, forcing him to start over, or it could turn into a change event, leading to a disaster. He placed the ruins in the right position before he put down the tools before he turned towards Xue.
"Sorry, I had to finish" he explained "And I told you Rivik, they wouldn't do it if he was a wolf"
"You know what, I am almost disappointed" Rivik sighed and Ezra chose to ignore his comment, knowing that the fox most likely just wished to make the situation awkward because he could.
"And I don't care if they doing it or not" Ezra said meaning it, he really didn't care who Zemin fucked, the only thing bothering him was that there was a stranger in the house, but at the moment he didn't felt like dealing with it, not knowing how the brothers or the ghoul would react if he threw them out. He wasn't looking for a fight. "However if they are doing it, well maybe that's for the best, so Zemin can be happy or at least satisfied"
"See you do care, just like friends should" Jax said wagging his tail and Ezra glared at him, with the help from Rivik.
"I informed you this morning, we aren't friends. Don't make me send you to the spirit world" he warned the wolf, not wishing to talk about it. Jax seemed disappointed but he stayed quiet and Ezra turned towards Xue.

"The puppy eyes don't work, so saying please is a better way" Ezra told him as he walked over to a table he had in the room, where a teapot was standing. "I have both tea and water"
He placed two bowls on the floor, letting Xue chose as he pleased.
"And give me a second and I will go to the kitchen, I think there is still some raw meat left"
Ezra walked out of the room, leaving the spirits and the wolf alone, knowing that Rivik wouldn't give Xue a hard time, and Jax loved the wolfs company so he would do even less damage. He counted the steps down the stairs and to the kitchen, soon finding the fridge, and finding the meat was easy since none of the others had moved anything in there. With plates in hand he returned to the others, soon giving both wolves a plate each, knowing that Rivik wouldn't want raw meat. Jax was more than pleased, wagging his tail as he started eating the bloody meat, getting his white fur red, but Ezra didn't care, as he returned to the amulet.

After making out on the floor for way too long, Zemin pushed Alec away with a small smile stroking across his plump lips. The slim hands touched the other mans lips, with an amazed expression covering the face - only making the eyes look even cuter than before.
“I don’t wanna do it on the floor, and it’s not fair if I’m the only one naked”, he mumbled and pouted, while starting to fidget with the ghouls sweater.
“Does anybody actually want to do it on the floor?” Alec asked and raised one of the perfect eyebrows, grinning even wider then he’d done before.
“Well we did it in a bathroom stall like a thousand times, so what’s the difference? This floor is at least much cleaner than those stalls were”, Zemin said and shrugged his shoulders.
“Maybe cleaner, but not comfortable. However I didn’t mind back then, it was still nice”, the younger one stated and fell backwards before he stood up, brushing off his pants and lending the wolf a hand. “I’m still needy you know.”
The werewolf laughed, melodic, pure laugh which bounced back and forth between the walls. He’d really missed this, even though he hadn’t actually thought about it that much. But now that they were in that position once again, everything seemed to fall into place. Zemin grasped the ghouls hand, allowing him to pull him up to his feet.
“Well, im also needy, so you’re not alone”, he admitted and started pulling Alec towards the bedroom. However they didn’t get very far and the wolf soon found himself pinned up against one of the walls. Their lips touched each other yet again and the smaller, pale hands started tearing the other ones sweater apart, with close to no problem.
“Fuck, are you destroying my clothes now?” He whispered and pulled his hands through the light brown hair.
“Do you have a problem with that or..?” Zemin wondered before abruptly being thrown at his bed. He hit the soft surface of the mattress with a small thud and watched as Alec jumped on top of him.
“I don’t.”

Once again, Xue frowned. He quickly gobbled up the meat, the tea and all of the water, without any hesitation. It was only when he was entirely finished that he straightened his back and yawned.
Thank you, he mumbled and gave Ezra a tiny smile. I just..do you really think it’s for the best? The wolf asked quietly and let his head fall to one of the sides. Because I think you’re lying..not because you’re jealous or anything, but rather because you actually like him. You don’t have to feel an urge to fuck him to have feelings towards him, you know that right? Xue looked down towards the floor instead, observing the carpet underneath before staring at Jax’s food.
Maybe it was a subject that should’ve been left untouched, but the young wolf hadn’t been able to stop himself. He just had to tell the shaman, before it was too late. It probably already was, but there was still a chance to change that! Wolves were mated for a long while and not only a few weeks, that was something that was written in stone.

"Wow he almost sounds like his brother" Rivik commented "Is that a wolf thing? Saying the most inappropriate thing you can come up with?"
"It's not" Jax stated as he pushed over what was left on his plate to the other wolf. He didn't needed to eat to be alive, he ate because he liked the taste of it. But seeing how happy the other wolves became when he did things for them, and also knowing that Xue needed food to stay alive he happily gave his up, even wagging his tail as he did so.
"You don't have a say in this. We are in this mess because of you. You chose to save his fucking brother, something super inappropriate at the moment"
Ezra chose to ignore the spirits as they continued going back and fort, only sounding like "did not" "Yes you did", like two young children arguing. Instead he had once again stopped, placing his hands on the counter in front of him, with Xue's words echoed through his mind. He understand why the wolf had asked, and even saw it in the way he did, anyone from the outside, observing would most likely say the same. If it was anyone else the signs would point to that he liked the man, but for him it wasn't that easy. Maybe it was because he never had anyone around him and saying that you liked, even accepted someone to be around him was a hard time. And he didn't know, he had came to the conclusion that he didn't hate Zemin, but was that the same thing as liking him? Everything with Zemin made him confused and for a second he thought about throwing the amulet into the wall, but he contained himself, knowing he would regret doing so, not only because the work he had done on it, but also because it would explode, hurting or even killing them, something he didn't wish for. But that he even thought of it showed how confused Zemin made him. He had accepted that he liked how Zemin touched him in someways, but he also hated it, giving him nightmares. Just like he enjoyed talking to the man, until Zemin went to far, saying something that ruined everything. He had helped the man when he was hurt, even worrying a bit, and even if he told himself it was because he didn't wish to see anyone in pain, it was a lie. He didn't care if people was in pain, Zemin was one of the few that made him even care. Yet he didn't let him near himself when he was hurt, if it was because he didn't wish to appear weak, not worry the other man or didn't trust him, he couldn't tell. He felt like everything regarding the other man felt like it was two different sides, one Ezra accepted or even liked, while he hated and was frighten towards the other. And he had no idea to handle it, how to react. Yet Zemin had been the first one he thought of when he woke up, and he had even draw him, something that never had happened before. He didn't thought about other people, not caring, and he didn't paint others. It was all so fucking confusing, making him fist his hand and sigh.

"How do you two always manage to make be honest and confused?" he whispered, wondering if it was only the two brothers that managed to do that, or if others would manage to if he left them close. He had a feeling that it was only the brothers, something that scared him a bit, like he didn't knew himself around them. "I can't say if I like him or not, the only thing I can say is that I don't hate him, and that I accept his present which is a fucking huge step for me"
That he had accepted that the brothers lived here, were around and even talked to them was something he never thought would happen.
"However I am sure it's for the best. I can never give him what he want, and I know he wishes for the few pets I give him. And if he can find what he wants with someone else, someone that makes him happy, it's for the best. I told him the same, that he would be happier with someone else. And isn't placing someone else need's before your own what you do when you like someone?"
Again it was a strange feeling, seeing he never cared about anyone else need's, only his own. Seeing how he wanted Zemin to be happy was really strange, or maybe he just did it because of selfish reasons, he didn't know. Maybe he hoped that Zemin would be someone else problem and everything would go back to normal? But he pushed those thoughts aside, not feeling like dealing with them at the moment.

Zemin and Alec soon found themselves tangled up, unable to break the contact between their lips. The truth was that they fit very well together, even though they were both guys and completely different species. But that didn’t really seem to matter when it did just that - matter.
“I like you way too much for my own good”, the older one whispered and started fiddling with a red lock of hair, letting it play between the index finger and thumb.
“Since I feel the exact same way, I can with confidence tell you that I know that feeling a tiny bit too well”, Alec answered and pulled his eyebrows together, before leaning in closer again. His soft, loveable lips carefully stroke against Zemins own lips, before they suddenly pulled away and the slim body flipped over. The younger ones strong, lean arms wrapped themselves tightly around the neat body as everything fell quiet. Then they just laid there, only hearing each other’s heartbeats and rough breathing.
”How can someone be so excruciatingly perfect? It doesn’t even make any sense”, the ghoul mumbled and left a small bite mark by the wolf’s neck.
“I’m not perfect, I’m just a normal dude”, Zemin protested and hid his face in one of the pillows, biting down on the soft fabric as to not make any inappropriate sounds. It wasn’t very odd how someone like Alec immediately turned him on. The younger man was handsome, tall and kind - basically everything that the older one had ever wanted. His touches were careful and soft, his kisses delicate and every single movement his absolutely perfect. To be honest it was so perfect that he managed to completely forget about the shaman, for the first time in almost three weeks! And he had no plans to go back there. No, he was so fucking done with chasing something he’d never be able to get. Because that was the truth, he’d never get to even give Ezra a tiny peck. Not on the cheek and therefore even less likely on the lips. Zemin didn’t have the strength to keep fighting for that and he was more than comfortable with his current situation.

But what if you could eventually give him what he wants? Or not what he wants, but rather what he needs? Xue wondered and looked up towards the ceiling. If you knew that was a possibility, would you really be okay with whatever’s happening upstairs? He really likes you, Ezra, but he’s also ridiculously likeable for some reason, and I already know that he’s frustrated. So if there’s even a single cell inside of you that feels something for my moron brother, then I’d tell him before he goes running off in the sunset with Alec. Like it or not, they really fit well tightened, but know this..you’d be an even better fit in the end, he whispered and smiled, nodding towards Jax as a thanks. After those long words, he fell silent and started chewing at the pieces of raw meat, not saying anything while he did so. He’d done what he could. Not for Zemins sake, but for both of them. Being wise was something you were born with, or that was at least what Xue always ended up telling himself. He truly considered himself to be very wise and clever. No, it wasn’t even a joke to him, sadly enough.

Ezra didn't need to turn around to know that they were looking at him, he hadn't even needed to see through Rivik's eyes to know that. He heard how Xue started eating again, he saw how Jax was wagging his tail but he was unsure if it was because of Xue's words, or because he gave him food. Rivik had no expression at all, not even saying anything. The fox knew him better than anyone else, maybe better than himself, but when it came to this he was of no help. Not only because he was a sprit and they didn't feel what living creatures could feel, but also because he knew how hard it was for Ezra. The only thing the fox wished for was that he didn't get hurt or ended up sadden, but it was something he needed to decide for himself.

But it was something Ezra didn't know. It felt like it was to many ifs, and basing something on that felt wrong. Saying what if before a sentens was never good because it meant that the outcome was to unsure. It was true that if they played with the thought he may take a liking to Zemin, but it wouldn't be now, he wouldn't be able to give him what he wished for at the moment. So should he ask Zemin to wait for that, when he had someone who could give him what he wished for right now? Could he even do that, what if he asked Zemin to wait and nothing happened, he could never go to the extent the other man asked. That would mean that Zemin would either be unhappy until he left him, or Ezra would be forced into situations he didn't find comfortable, and none of those were scenarions he liked. He didn't even knew what was the best, and he didn't even knew if he liked him. There was so much to ask for, so much to consider, so much that could go wrong. And he felt like the biggest problem was that he didn't even knew what he thought of the wolf, if he knew it would have been easier. If he hated him, letting him go would be easy, and if he liked him it would also be easy because then he could tell the man, but now. It was all a gamble, not knowing if he liked him, or if he liked him enough. For a second Ezra felt like laughing over the situation, he felt to old to be this confused, and even if he hadn't felt anything for someone before he felt like it shouldn't be this complicated. Wasn't it supposed to be easy? Weren't you supposed to know when you liked someone? Was this just this complicated because he was this messed up, or was it this hard for everyone? He didn't know, and he wished he had someone to ask, not the spirits because they wouldn't really know.

He sighed, he didn't even knew if he wished to tell the wolf anything or if he wished to let him go. He wasn't even sure if he could say that he liked him, what if he thought he did but it wasn't true. He couldn't compare it to how he felt towards the spirits, because if he did, well then the closest thing he would feel towards Zemin was friendship and that wasn't the same thing. But he was pretty sure he didn't felt that way, or not only. He wouldn't say he was friends with the man, but if they would continue seeing each other he could see a slim possibility of them being friends. But he also felt something different towards the wolf, but he really didn't know if it was enough, or what it was. Without a word he left the room, he needed to be alone, needed to think without the other watching him. At first he had thought of going into his office, but he felt like he needed some air and he headed outside instead, to the backyard. Carefully he made his way through, up to some of the stairs leading to one of the outhouses and he sat down, leaning against the wall. He smelled the ocean and a light breeze made his hair move as he tried to decide what the hell he would do.

”Hey, put this on”, Zemin mumbled and threw one of Xues old sweaters towards Alec, before he pulled a black t-shirt over his own head.
“Don’t you like my body?” The ghoul wondered as he caught the green sweater, looking at it with raised eyebrows.
“I do, but I doubt anyone else would want to see it”, the older man explained and sat down right in front of Alec, pushing his slim body against the well built one. “You’re hot though, so fucking hot”, he whispered, tempted to go back to what they’d just been doing. His well kept nails had grown longer, sharper, just as the teeth had also done. He carefully stroke the pale cheeks, pulling the slender hands up towards the red hair only to rest them there do awhile.
“You’re also hot, but it’s really strange since your cute at the same time. I don’t even know what to make of myself when I’m with you”, the younger one admitted and started leaving kisses all over the wolf’s jawbone.
“Sometimes you’re also cute, even though you don’t look like it”, Zemin answered and smiled, shivering due to the tickling pecks.
“I know, I’m cute right now according to myself”, Alec said and pushed the werewolf away, resulting in the other one falling down onto the bed.
“What was that for?” The big eyed puppy asked and pouted with the plump lips, looking extremely dissatisfied.
“I need to get dressed for work”, he explained and pulled up the black, ripped jeans with a huge smirk across his face.
“Since when do you have a job?” Zemin asked with a laugh and rolled over so that he could observe the piece of art in front of him.
“Since a couple of months ago, I’m a trainee..we're going to debut in a few weeks.”

Zemins jaw literally dropped as he watched the younger one, trying to figure out wether it had been a joke or not. Was that why Alec had been so busy lately, because he was training to become an idol? Like an actual idol and not the wannabe type that the werewolf himself had been during his school days.
“You’re confused, aren’t you?” Alec stated and pulled at the edge of his lips, making him smile crookedly.
“Obviously..since when did you get scouted? How? When? Where? Jesus, Alec! I have so many questions right now!”
Zemin exclaimed and immediately got to his feet, walking over to the taller man. Once again the hands found themselves over one respective cheek and the thumbs gently stroke the flawless skin.
“In school, maybe four months ago by an agent.” The ghoul laughed and shook his head, pulling his shorter half into a clumsy, cute hug. “You’re so freaking cute right now and it’s driving me nuts!” He thereafter complained and buried his face against the light brown hair.
“But..but..I still don’t get it. You’re not even human, so how..?” Zemin began in a mess of confusing thoughts, only to get both of his cheeks pinched.
“They don’t know, I’m pretty good at keeping a human appearance”, Alec said and pointed towards his eyes, which had suddenly turned dark brown with normal scleras. “Piece of cake.”

A few minutes later, the two young males found themselves by the gate leading into the grounds of the complex. They were maybe twenty metres away from the water, which allowed them both to catch the scent of the sea.
“You’re so grown up”, Zemin mumbled and smiled, looking up towards the handsome face he’d known for so long.
“Can’t say the same, you’re still short and cute”, Alec bit back before wrapping his arms around the slender body, swiftly lifting it up from the ground. The wolf giggled, like the little girl he was, and cupped his hands around the porcelain cheeks. Then he leaned in closer until their lips touched, leading to a somewhat passionate kiss.
“I’m still really needy, so you have to come back soon. Not in a month or two! Plus, you have to tell me all about that new career of yours, okey?” Zemin wondered as Alec carefully let him slide back towards the ground.
“Guess what? I’m also needy, at least when it comes to you..I’ll just let myself in tonight.”
And with those words he walked out through the gate, leaving the wolf staring blankly after his disappearing figure.

Ezra had laid down, and if he had been able to see he had seen the sky, but for him it was all just dark, not that he complained, he actually preferred the darkness sometimes. It made him relax, forgetting about the world sometimes. But at this moment it just made his thoughts so much clearer since his eyes couldn't focus on something, and maybe that was for the best. He had hoped he would have came to a conclusion, but none had came. Like it would do that as it was fucking magic. No he knew he needed to figure this out himself, but it didn't matter how much he thought about it, a solution didn't came to him, and he understood that he would need to take a chance here. Either he let the man go, finding, what he hoped was happiness with the other man, or he would tell him that he liked him, hoping that was what he did. Jesus, he could ruin everything for Zemin, and no matter how cold he was, he had no desire to break someones heart, no not at all. He could still hear Xue's words echoing through his mind, saying he would be better for Zemin in the end. How on earth was that possible, was it just because of the mating thing? What if Zemin liked the ghoul for real, because he had found something likable with him without the mating, and he only liked Ezra because of the mating. Which seemed to be reasonable since Zemin didn't really knew him. Would Zemin still like him after he got to know him, maybe he would hate him if he wasn't mated to him. Once again Ezra felt like screaming, everything was to confusing. He didn't know how to act in this situation, he wasn't a cocky bastard who just rolled with it, who tested it and saw how it went, and if he didn't liked it he left Zemin behind. That was how he acted in other situation, but if there was feelings involved, maybe not his own, he didn't want to do that. Why the fucking hell did that man like him, did he even know how confused it made Ezra? Probably not since Ezra didn't told him more than he needed, and for the first time he actually wished he told Zemin more than he already had. He only told him things to explain his behavior. He didn't really told him about how everything made him feel, not more than in two words. He didn't even knew if it would make any difference, but for a second he hoped it would make Zemin feel bad, since he felt like a mess from all this.

And all this was just thoughts! True he had been near Zemin a few times, they talked and all, and those few things made it complicated, but his brain made it more complicated, without Zemin being there. And like some fucking higher up wanted to torturing him Zemin walked out through the building accomplished by the ghoul, he couldn't hear any words, only that they talked and laughter. At least Zemin could enjoy the other mans company, and it took Ezra a few seconds to realise that Zemin was human again, since he heard him talk. And at once he felt at unease, especially since he was blind. It was a fucking joke how he didn't saw the wolf and human as any different, still seeing them as Zemin, but he reacted so different depending on what form the man had. Maybe it was better not to take a chance on this, knowing how he reacted, and even if he hadn't heard what the men said, they seemed to enjoy each others company, and he smiled, it was better that way. Even if Xue said that Ezra would be better for the wolf, in the end, he knew he could't give the man what he wanted, not now, maybe never and it wasn't fair to ask him to wait, especially not since Ezra couldn't even say if he liked him. Or okay maybe a part of him liked him, but it wasn't as much as the ghoul, and he didn't even knew hoe he liked him, maybe it was just as friends, even if it was different from the spirits, but maybe that was because it was another creature. Coming to that conclusion actually made him feel a bit at ease as he stood up, carefully searching for the steps so he wouldn't fall down, as he walked towards where he thought Zemin was. He could summon another spirit but he didn't feel like having them there, especially if they weren't as close to him as Rivik or Jax. But taking it slow he soon find his way, being able to feel Zemin's present without seeing it, and he stayed a few steps away, not only because he didn't wish to walk into the other man, also because he was human now.

"I thought you wouldn't be able to turn in awhile, are you alright?" he wondered, seeing that he actually was a bit worried about that. Even if he came to the conclusion that it was better for Zemin to be with the ghoul, he could still care about him, as a friend? he guessed. "Also you sounded happy, guess he was able to give you what you needed"
Ezra smiled a small smile towards the man, being happy for him, as he leaned against the wall he founded next to him.

When Ezra spoke to the wolf, he couldn’t hold back a tiny smile before he crossed his arms over the slim chest.
“I didn’t think I would manage to, but apparently I was wrong. Guess Alec’s a good influence”, he said and observed the man, noting how he’d stopped quite a few feet away. Was it because of Zemins human form? Most likely, yes. But he was still the same person, only in a different skin! However he decided to immediately push that thought away, as he didn’t want to stir up any unnecessary arguments.
“And yes, he makes me happy”, Zemin continued and looked over his shoulder, towards the street where the ghoul had vanished. “I mean not only because he’s hot as hell, but rather because we think alike and it’s just nice”, he explained and turned his head back towards the shaman, so he could face the other man. “But fucking isn’t everything after all. Maybe to some people, however I don’t that’s how it should be..and it’s not! Don’t get me wrong or something.” The younger man shook his head and sent a quick glance towards the glimmering water. It was a nice day, with close to no clouds up in the sky. That essentially meant that the sky was almost blue and that the sun shone through, leaving its warm embrace over the earth. Of course wouldn’t last, but at least they got to enjoy it, even if it was only for a short moment. Considering how rarely they got to see the sun, they might as well take it in as much as possible.
“When I was younger and still lived with my parents Xue always used to bring Alec over”, the wolf began from absolutely nowhere, still observing the calm ocean water. “I was always extremely annoyed by him and wanted him to fuck off, but he still liked me for some odd reason. Then one day, when Xue was fifteen years old and I’d just turned eighteen, Xue had his first turn. We were home alone and of course he’d brought Alec over to study, just as always. But you see, during the first couple of turns we tend to loose all control. Everything goes black and then you wake up without knowing what you’ve done during the last couple of days. That was how it went for my first turn and of course Xue's was the same. So in a crazed panic I had to turn to keep my own brother from killing his best friend..and by that time Alec didn’t have a clue about either of us, so of course he had to go hide under the sink in the kitchen for like four hours. When I finally found him he was all sweaty and hyperventilating. Even since then I changed my opinion on him”, Zemin finished and looked down onto his feet instead. Now that he thought back on it, it was all so vibrant and new - like it had happened only yesterday. He remembered how everything had shattered to tiny pieces when his little brother started turning right in the middle of a sentence, how the panic had washed over him and how he’d literally thrown off his clothes. All he could think of back then was keeping Alec safe from the rampaging werewolf as well as keeping the rampaging werewolf from killing Alec. Nothing else had mattered, and he’d had done the exact same to this day if it were to happen again.

“You can only imagine the look on my parents faces when they walked through the front door. There was so much blood and it was splattered all over the place”, the wolf mumbled with a laugh and shook his head. It wasn’t a necessarily pleasant memory, but he couldn’t escape from the fact that it was at that exact moment that he’d become very close to Alec - the same Alec that was now fully grown up, gorgeous, kind and everything in between. Even if they hadn’t gotten close back then, he would probably still have ended up in the exact same situation. Because really, who could actually resist a man like that?
Zemin leaned against the fence that covered the perimeter of the property, closing his eyes to let the sun shine right onto his pale face. The freckles which were seemingly hidden would maybe come forth if he got some d-vitamin. He actually really liked those freckles and though it was a shame not to display them. Being cute was something he didn’t have a problem with, not at all. To be honest it was actually kind of nice from time to time. Not that he liked being addressed by princess or lady, but still. He had close to nothing against it.

”What about you?” Zemin finally wondered, after his little monologue had finally died off. “Are you happy that I won’t go after you any longer? That I won’t throw myself at you and accidentally touch you?” He continued and raised both eyebrows. If he’d been in Ezra's position, he would had been more than happy. It could almost be seen as a relief for the other man, or that was at least how the wolf imagined it. He hoped otherwise, deep down.
