Day off from work!!!

Axel

I woke up before Forrest. We were in his room, and I snooped away like usual. I finally finished looking through every drawing book on the shelf and so I decided to do something else after no sign of Forrest waking up. I was looking out the window. After getting bored I turned from it and stubbed my toe on the desk, making some stuff move around. There was only one thing that fell though: fish food. I picked up the container and looked at it curiously. The package still looks new. I open the container. It smells fresh. Then closed it, setting it back down. I look over to my sleeping mate.

Is this like his guilty pleasure or something? Like those people that like eating man-made animal treats?

I picked up the fish food container again and advanced towards Forrest's sleeping figure.

"Hey, Forrest,", I slightly shook him, "hey, wake up."

After receiving no response from him I blushed and fidgeted. I've read many romance novels. Which isn't surprising~ us werewolves are very romantic at heart. It's like our main thing since we have mates. I stared at Forrest. I really wanna do those cheesy things like kissing them awake, whispering in their ear, or -I don't know- straddling them and waking them up like that? I felt my face heat up from the thought. Oh which should I do!!! Options OPTIONS!! Since I'm new to this, I decide on the whisper in their ear.

I leaned down and in a soft voice, "Forrest, wake up."

I saw his eyes snap open as a shiver runs down his spine. We stared at each other and I saw something in his eyes I couldn't quite get. It was very strong and...demanding?

"Mornin'...", I breathlessly say, still staring into his eyes. At my greeting he closed his eyes and when he opened them again the look from earlier was gone. He looked a bit...annoyed.

My shoulders slumped and my head lowered. I shouldn't have done that.

Forrest didn't hug nor kiss me like he usually did but greeted me and did everything else like usual. My chest tightened. I feel bad.

"Is there something wrong? How long've you been awake?"

"Oh, umm nothing at all and awhile....I just wanna know why you have fish food...do you like to eat fish food...?"

"Wha...?"

I grew flustered, feeling stupid. I looked around the room to look for any fishes even though I've been here awhile, but I just messed up our morning. Now I felt stupid.

Forrest nervously chuckled, "Hey, it's fine. And no, I don't eat the fish food,", he paused looking at me with a smile, "I have fishes."

My eyes widened in surprise. I looked around the room, frantically searching for these fishes, feeling stupider than ever. "B-but...w-where...?!"

Forrest placed both hands on my shoulders, "Calm down,", he chuckled, "they're not here. The Alpha took them with her, not sure why, but she did. Yeah, that day when you first slept on my bed."

I calmed down. Forrest finally touched me. I raised my right hand to meet the one on my shoulder, then I pressed his hand onto my cheek. I closed my eyes in relaxation.

Then his hand twitched. My eyes immediately met his and his eyes held that same look. The way he looked at me, like I was prey. He closed his eyes again, taking his hand back. When he opened his eyes the annoyed look returned...but different. Now it looked like he was holding something back. Hiding something.

"F-Forrest...?"

He took a deep breath and turned his gaze on mine. Forcing out a chuckle he said, "You've been stuttering more than usual. Are you sure nothing's wrong?"

I felt attacked by what he said, "That's what I wanna ask you! Y-you've been acting weird! Is it cuz I did that? Whisper in your ear? Or were you having a good dream that I interrupted or you're m-"

"Axel. None of that is-"

"Then why are you like- like annoyed at me?!"

"Axel!"

The room became quiet. It was just us staring into each other's eyes. Calming ourselves. Waiting for each other to speak.

He yelled at me. He never yells at me. Ohmygodohmygodohmygod!! This is my fault! I started this fight!!

Tears were building up on my eyes, "F-Forrest....I'm sorry...!", I whimpered.

The pained look in Forrest's eyes, I could tell he lost it when my tears went down. I was immediately in his embrace, then he pulled back (still close) wiping my tears away. I kept trying to apologize, but he gently said it wasn't my fault at all each time.

"Shh shhh, it's okay it's okay. I'm sorry I yelled at you, forgive me forgive me."

"Y-yeah, forgive me t-too?

"There's nothing to forgive, you didn't do anything wrong..."

"B-but!!"

"Shh, it's fine. You didn't do anything. Now calm down."

"Mmm...", we continued this, though Forrest moved us on the bed, me straddling his lap. He was so focused on me he didn't realize our position, neither did I. After I calmed down, I leaned in to bury myself deeper into his hug. He stiffened. I moved back up to face him, his breath hitching when I moved.

"Forrest?", he looked terribly nervous now, "hey, you o-"

"I'm fine don't worry about it."

He picked me up like a child from under my armpits and set me beside him. His hand held mine as he stood up, making me stand up too.

"L-let's just go eat lunch."

...

It was like my mind went blank.

It's already lunch?!

Forrest

I had to get myself out of that situation. Never do I want to force myself on him. He's not ready. As we went downstairs, I couldn't help but replay awhile ago. Him whispering into my ear just woke up something inside me. I wanted him. Lustful fantasies were beginning to play right then until I closed my eyes to calm myself. I hated myself then. I felt bad for starting the fight, he looked so distressed.

"Do you need help?", my Axel asked, voice far superior than any angel.

"Why don't you just pour us a drink and just sit there."

He looked annoyed, "Ugh, why?"

"Surprise~", I voiced with a knowing tune.

His eyes lit up and he sat himself further onto the chair, "M'kay!!"

I chuckle before returning to my thoughts.

I don't want to ever cause him distress. After calming him down and sitting him on me unconsciously, he hugged me. Our areas rubbed against each other. I don't think he even noticed. Then noticing my being stiff, who wouldn't check out the reason why? But the action of course had the same affect. I was scared. I didn't know what I was capable of. What I was capable of restraining.

"Hey, surprise ready? Ready to surprise? Surprise ready to surprise? Huh? Huh?"

I turned around chuckling, tuna melt sandwiches stacked on a plate.

"That's the surprise?"

"Heh,", I made my way to the table, sitting to Axel's left, "if I remember correctly, you've never tried my tuna melt before."

His cheeks reddened at the memory, "w-well t-that's...!!!", I laugh lightly as he said no more and took one from the plate. I took one myself.

I watched him eat without his notice. He was too busy tasting the sandwich (which is adorable) to even notice. Then I began to wonder: When does he go in heat? Werewolves usually start around the first week, but Axel....it's been...we've been together for about 2 months! It made me nervous, I don't know how long I could subside my desires. Wait, what if he's asexual...

"Axel, do you happen to be asexual?"

He looked up from his 3rd tuna melt, "Naaaaaaah?", halfway in responding his reply became a question, "Waaait...I don't think I'm...no..no...yeah, I'm not. Yeaaah..."

...

...

What?

Was that a yes? Or a no?

"Are you sure...?", I narrowed my eyes at him.

He looked me dead in the eyes, "Yep."

We stared at each other for a minute before he asked what brought this up.

"Nothing...important..."

He stared at me a bit more before replying with an "M'kay~"

For the rest of the day we focused on training his nose, part of his hunting training. The only smell he got for sure was the baby powder.
