~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira yawned as he sat up. His hair was sticking up in odd angles. Shaking his head and then rubbing his hand over his hair it fell back into place. Looking around he found the room empty. He needed to smoke badly! His hand reached down to his pants and stopped. That’s right they weren’t there. Growling he tossed the blankets off and stood. The bathroom door was closed and the shower was running. ‘Zev’s in the shower.’ He smirked.
Zev opened the door and walked out. Man did he feel good. With a smile on his face he walked over to the lump on the bed. “Akira. Come on, I’m going to make you breakfast. Wake up!” He placed his hand down and blinked, gripping the sheet he pulled it back to find him gone. ‘why would he pull…’ glaring at the pillows he growled. ‘He wouldn’t…’ Akira only had today and tomorrow. ‘But is he?’
Aron leaned back in his chair the cigarette hung from his mouth. He yawned and propped his feet up. The bell above the door leading into the bounty hunters lounge rang. Looking over he grinned, “A~kira!”
The brunette stopped and looked at him. Then he walked towards him. Uh-oh he knew that look. “Bum me a cig.”
“Sorry mate I’m fresh out, had to bum myself.”
“Damn it.” He dropped onto the seat and growled. “I need one so bad… I won’t be surprised if he’s looking for me right now.”
“Who?”
“Zev.”
“Repeating. Who?”
“The wolf that was with me last time.”
“Oh. So why he looking for you?”
“He took my cigs and I can’t smoke till the end of this week.” His chin rested on his hand.
“Bummer. You must be going nuts. Did you tell him why you smoke?”
“Yeah.”
He snorted and looked at him, “I went to school with you, don’t lie.”
“I didn’t.” He growled out.
“Let me guess you told him enough to keep him from asking more.”
He looked away as he muttered, “Fuck you.”
“You’re an idiot.” Aron leaned forward and snagged Akira’s shoulder. He pulled him forward, “I remember what happened in school, what happened to you after you got out and why he was sent away. I suggest you find a cig and unwind, he’s out and looking for revenge. You’re on the list.” He let go of Akira and stood. “I bet you haven’t said a thing to Mitch about this.”
When Akira looked away he frowned and sighed.
“Look, tell Mitch this way he can be ready when the prick goes after him. I’ve been up since four because I thought someone was trying to come through my door. Well I’ve got a bounty to go after. Take care of yourself.”
The bell rang above the door and he chuckled, “Hey there!”
Akira didn’t look at him as a hand grabbed his arm. “H-hey!”
Zev ignored him and dragged him out of the building, “Good luck Akira!”
He dug his feet into the ground and Zev looked at him. Pulling his arm away he shouted back at Aron, “What the hell do you mean by that?”
“You know what I mean.” Aron patted him on the shoulder and grinned. “Be careful I don’t want to see you on the news!” He waved and walked off.
He blinked and growled, “Stop doubting me, you fucking prick!” His body was lifted up and he shouted as Zev carried him off. “Put me down! Put me…” He saw the store. “Zev, I need I need you to do something.”
“What is it?”
“First I need to get in that store.”
He turned and looked at the store Akira was talking about. “Why that one?”
“I’ll tell you, just put me down.” His feet touched the ground. Digging in his pocket he pulled out his phone. “Here take a snap of me.”
“Huh?”
“Photo. Take one.”
Zev held the phone up and took one, “I should send this to my phone.”
“After.” Akira snagged it and walked up to the store. He walked up to the counter. A teen with wild colored hair look up at him.
“What can I do for you?” It was a bored tone and Akira smirked.
“How much is it to dye hair in the store?”
“Just bring the dye and I’ll have one of the people in the back dye it. Then you can pay.”
The wolf followed after Akira, “But I like your hair the way it is.”
“I have to change it.”
“Why?”
“Someone is trying to kill me.”
“What? Who?”
“You don’t really need to know now. I’ll tell you after I get this part done.” He pulled the chip out of his phone and placed it in the small computer. Two pictures appeared on the screen and Zev turned his head.
“You took a picture of me sleeping.”
“Yep!” His fingers tapped the picture of him. “Lucky you, you can get away with any color in your hair.”
“I have a mom who does it somehow she always knows how I want it done.”
“Its call She’s you mom.” He picked a color closer in the browns. “Even if my mom wasn’t my real mom she always knew when I was going for the cookies. A mother’s sixth sense.” He picked an orange color and grimaced.
“Akira orange is not your color.”
“I can see that.”
“Try a red.” Zev pointed. “This one.”
“Good thing Marianela isn’t here.”
“Why? Try a pale brown.”
“She picked out a pale blond color last time.” He quickly picked the blonds and tapped on the pale one. The wolf coughed and looked away.
“You do look different. Let’s get a darker color.”
“I was like that for six months. I cut it all off after my roots started to show.”
“Akira with really short hair.” He smiled and pointed at a dark golden brown. “Damn looks like we’ll have to try the random colors.”
“I rather be a blond.”
“Okay well we’re stuck then. Let’s get a dark blond and go from there.” They sat at the computer for a while longer. Akira finally settled for a color. “No permanent colors just for when we go out and about.”
“Which is never now.”
“Quit your complaining.”
“I just want to get this done with.”
Zev walked out of the building with a bag in his hand. He sighed and yawned as he walked home. His phone rang. He moved to answer it when something clicked. Glancing over his shoulder he sighed. “Walk.”
“Aye aye.” He moved forward, his hands in his pockets. ‘Gun at my head.’ His thumb rubbed over the side of his finger. ‘Three…’ The people started to thin out. ‘Two…’ They walked down an alleyway. ‘One…’ The bag slipped from his hands and he stopped to get it.
“leave it!”
His hand slipped into the bag as he snagged it. “I can’t. I need these things.”
The person pushed the gun to his head again. “I said leave it.” Zev was looking up at the person when he smiled.
“I can’t do that.” In one swift movement a small knife dug into the hand holding the gun. The gun clattered to the ground. He reached for it but Zev kicked it away. “You have no weapons and a bleeding hand. What would a smart person do?” The gun man took off running out of the alleyway as Zev walked over to pick up the gun. He dropped it in the bag and turned when a can was kicked across the ground. “You done already?”
“Yeah.”
Akira had the hood of his coat over his head. Leaning over he looked at him, then glanced at his hand. “Hmmm, what’s that?”
“The guy at the front counter gave them to me. He said it might help.” His hand uncurled and he placed in Zev’s hand. “I’m going to need help with them.”
“Wait these things are…”
“Free of charge. He wanted to know why I did what I did, so I told him.”
Zev nodded and kissed him, “Alright hold still.”
The front door opened and Zev looked around, “Okay, no one’s around let’s go.” He grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house.
“Zev is that you?”
“Umm… yeah… I’ll be up stairs if you need me!” He started to push him up the stairs before Dawn could walk out of the kitchen.
Both froze when Rune appeared at the top of the stairs. “Hey… Zev… umm… is Akira all right?”
“Yeah he is!” He tugged him along as he spoke, “He’s just a little tired… ow… that hurts.” The wolf frowned at the hooded male. “Well, we got to go.”
“Oooo, what kind of hair dyes did you get?” The bag was moved behind his back.
“I’ll let you look through it later.” The two rushed down the hall, a door slammed closed and Rune tipped his head to the side his ears laid flat against his head.
“I smell chemicals.”
The two leaned against the door and gave a sigh. “Too close.”
“Tell me about it.”
Zev looked at Akira as he walked over to the computer chair. He dropped into it and sighed. His eyes were closed. “Zev… stop staring.”
“I’m still trying to get use to it.” Walking over he pushed the hood off his head. His hand ran through dark brown hair.
“They said it won’t last long.”
“Just till we can get rid of the person looking for you.”
“Or when he gets caught.”
“Akira, I really love you okay. Nothing you say to me will change that. So please tell me why are you so bent on getting a smoke.”
He gripped his arms and sighed. “Fine I’ll tell you.”
A smile spread across his face, “Thanks.”
“But first help me get these damn things out.” He chuckled as Akira went to rub at his now green eyes. “It is fucking annoying.”
“Stop, I’ll get them.”
They both didn’t hear the door open, but they did hear the sharp gasp. Akira jumped out of the seat and was hiding behind it. “Oh my god! Akira let me see!”
“Mom!”
Looking behind the chair she found him covering his head with his hood. He scrambled back and she smiled. “Well can I?” He stared at her and then sighed as the hood fell back. “You look just like your dad now!”
He grumbled out, “I’m trying not to be found.”
“I see.” The wolf was putting the color contacts away when his mom started to drop question after question. He was never going to find out what was going on was he. Turning he placed his hands on her shoulders and Dawn looked at him. “What is it Zev?”
“Me and Akira were about to talk about something. I’m sure he’ll tell you everything tomorrow when the doctor comes in.”
“Oh that’s right; Karen said she couldn’t make it tomorrow. Something happened and she has to work tomorrow and the day after.”
“Wait what about my smokes!?”
“You’ll get them tomorrow.”
He tossed his arms up and shouted, “Yes!”
The woman smiled, “Fine. I’ll give you the box and money back tomorrow morning.” She left and the door closed.
“Now why are you so excited?”
Akira grew quiet and sighed, “I need them to…” His phone rang. Pulling it out he glanced at it. “What is it Mitch?”
~“Aron is the hospital.”~
“What happened?”
~“Raith told me what happened. He was the one who talked to him, before he slipped under so the bullet could be removed. Leon attacked him.”~
He clenched his hand and sighed. “I see.”
~“Akira don’t do anything stu…”~ The phone snapped shut and he growled. “I’ll kill that bastard.”
“Akira… is everything alright?”
“No. I’m going to see Aron.”
“Huh?”
“Aron is in the hospital.” He walked out and Zev quickly snagged the contacts before he followed after him.
Akira kept the hood up as he walked into the building. Zev snagged the back of his hood and pulled it down. “Hood off.”
“Fine.” He felt his hand on his lower back and pushed him forward. “Let’s go see your friend.”
“Sure…” They walked down the hall and up to a desk. A couple of nurses were sitting down talking and another was standing looking through some files.
One turned to them and smiled. Her green eyes full of warmth, for a second Akira thought he saw Grace. Only Grace had blond hair and this woman had black. “Hello I’m Joyce. Is there something I can help you boys with?”
“We’re here to see Aron.”
“Okay I need a last name.”
“Macyn.” Akira muttered.
“The only Macyn is an Aron-”
“That’s them. What room?”
“Follow me I’ll take you to the room.” They followed after her and Zev glanced around.
“Is Aron a paranormal?”
“Yes, half fox.”
“This is the room. If you need anything just ask.”
Akira nodded and he knocked on the door, “Oi Aron it’s me and Zev.” There was a scuffling sound and he opened the door. Aron was setting up holding onto a pillow in his lap. His chin was resting on the pillow. “So how bad is it?”
“Just a back shot.”
Zev looked at him and then pointed, “You’re a…” The pillow smacked him in the face before he could finish.
“No I’m not! It’s a fucking curse! Blame my stupid father!” Then he turned on Akira. “And what the hell did you do to your hair!?! And your eyes there green!”
“Oi!”
“What you look better the other…” Akira clapped a hand over his mouth.
“I need you to tell me everything that happened. This…” he pointed at his hair, “is for a reason.”
His eyes narrowed and he harrumphed. Green gray eyes narrowed and dark green met his challenge with a dark glare. He pulled his hand back and then Aron growled out, “You are in no shape to face him. I can tell by looking in your eyes. They look just like when you first started high school.”
“Really? Because it doesn’t feel like it.”
“I don’t want to see you back there.”
“I’m fine.”
“How bad is the edge?”
“I’m fine.”
“Answer mine and I’ll answer yours!”
“Damn it!”
Aron looked around Akira at the wolf on the ground. “Hey you! If you care about him you’ll go out and get him his cigs, so help me I’ll kick you furry ass if he cracks!”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Akira…!” They glared at each other when Aron found his hand over his mouth again.
“Enough from you!”
The silver fox bit down on his hand and Akira cursed. He crossed his legs and placed his hands on his knees as he growled out, “I’ve seen you’re breaking point Akira. I don’t want to see it again. Leon pushed you to that point, what makes you think he won’t try again?” He jabbed a finger at Zev. “You drill his ass for answers even if you have to tie him to a chair.” Then he turned to Akira. “And you! You… you need to tell him what’s going on!”
“No one needs to know.”
“Bullshit! If you won’t say it then I will.” Akira looked away and he growled. “I may be all cheery cheery but when it comes to my friends I’ll be a fucking prick if I have to. Wolfy you better sit down this will take some time.”
“You’re not telling him!”
“Yes I am.” He walked over to Aron and stopped when the male held up a controller with buttons. “I’ll push it!”
“I’m going to get something to eat.” The door slammed shut behind him and Zev moved to follow.
“Sit!” The wolf flinched and sat down in the chair the pillow still in his hands. “He left because he doesn’t want to face the fact he almost fucked up his whole life.”
“What happened?” His fingers dug in to the pillow. How bad was it?
“It was my second year of high school and he had just skipped right into the third year. He was only fifteen and was placed there because he scored high on some test. The school board said if he could pass the last two years then he could get his diploma. But he had to keep his nose clean.” He shifted on the bed and muttered. “He first met Raith and me through Mitch and Jett. Then he met Leon through Raith. But I’ll skip to the important part. Leon used Akira, he used the fact Akira was a missing to run his greedy little business.”
Zev looked at the floor and then looked up, “Is he the one Akira owed money to?”
“You know about that?”
“Yeah.”
Aron sighed, “No this was before.”
~~~~~
Akira muttered under his breath as he jabbed a little too hard at the buttons on the vending machine. A few people would stop and look at him as he growled. The pack of candy was stuck and he was pissed and hungry! He twitched when he heard the whispers behind him. He glanced over his shoulder at the whispering offenders. His eyes narrowed and they sweated. There was a bang and he whipped around. The two whispers chose then to scatter.
Raith smiled at him from where he was leaning against the vending machine. “Hello.”
Crouching he pulled the bag of candy out. “What do you want?”
Mitch spoke up as he tossed an arm around his shoulders. “Well Akira at first I was like that can’t be Daisuke but now…”
“Fuck off.”
“So who pissed you off?”
“Aron is telling Zev about what happened in high school.” He ripped the bag opened and poured some pieces of candy into his hand. It was shaking.
A hand closed over it and he frowned. “Akira you’ve become to dependent on those, you need to relax another way.”
“How… I folded after that one time and it was only a month after I stopped.”
“Did you really stop?”
“Huh?”
“Think Akira you’re smart. What have you stopped but didn’t back then?”
His eyes lowered, why couldn’t he look him in the face? Raith sighed and brightened, “Hey Jett!” Akira turned away and ate his candy. Jett walked up and he stopped his eyes narrowed. A hand shot out and grabbed a fist full of Akira’s hair.
“Ack!” He glared at Jett. “What is your deal?”
“Who are you hiding from now?”
“Let go!”
He turned to Mitch, “Who is he hiding from?”
“Take a guess.”
His eyes landed on Raith and then he rubbed at his face, “Damn it!” The only reason Raith would be here in the same building as all of them was very evident. “Shit! Is Aron okay?”
“Yeah, um… is he still… umm…?” Mitch made a movement with his hand over his chest.
Akira and Jett rolled their eyes. “Yes he is still a she for another seventeen years.” The hand let go of his hair and he rubbed his head. “Do any of you have money on you I need to eat something? My stomach is going to eat itself at this rate.”
Raith looked at him with a quizzical smirk, “You’re asking for money what happened to the money you had?”
“Zev took it to keep me from buying more smokes.” Green gray eyes glared at him. “No way in hell you’re going to buy it!”
The dark haired male sighed, “I’ll buy the food Akira. Come on, knowing you you’ll want to avoid Zev for a while. You can tell me where you got those contacts.”
“Not really.” He didn’t want to see how he reacted when Aron told him about the things he had to do to.
Zev was gripping on to the pillow as he stared at the floor. “That bastard.”
“Yeah. I found him one night and he looked like shit. His body was shaking like crazy.” He shook his head. “I guess it was my fault for offering the cig in the first place. He seemed to relax and I took it as a good sign.” His fingers played with the blanket. “Leon wanted Akira to attack someone for him. The person had owed him money and he never paid him back. Akira was like the bouncer for his little money sham but Akira never wanted to do it. Back then he was different from he is now.”
There was a knock on the door and they looked as it opened. Mitch grinned and waved at them, “Hello Aron. You’re still looking very girly.”
Aron’s eye twitched and he growled. “Don’t piss me off!”
“Jeez Aron.” Raith walk over and kiss the silver fox of the head. “How are you feeling?”
Mitch gapped and Zev stared at them. The silver fox blushed, “Uh… don’t tell Akira.”
“Wouldn’t even dream of it.” Zev nodded and then looked at Mitch. Caramel eyes glanced at the face, “He’s in the cafeteria.”
He stood and tossed the pillow to Aron, “I’ll go talk to him now. I want to hear the rest from him.”
“Good luck.” He looked back at all three of them they all were waving and grinning. A very creepy grin.
The door closed and Mitch sighed. “He’s going to piss him off.”
“You never know.” He glanced at Raith and glared at him. “Hey Akira used to punch me every time he saw me, now he just has this cold front.”
“I wonder why.” Both males said in a dry tone.
“Hey! I was stupid but damn…”
He was cut off by the silver fox, “If you ever do that to me I’ll put a bullet through your head.”
Mitch snorted, “I should put a bullet through your head.”
“I’m not the one who strung him along.” They glared at each other and the silver fox sighed. Two silver tails wrapped around his curled legs. One was shorter than the other.
“Will you two ever grow up?”
~~~~~
Zev looked at his hand and sighed. Something kept nagging at him and told him not to do this. Akira has been acting weird lately. A smile was on his face. Maybe he can talk him into doing something after. The elevator doors slid open and he walked out. His eyes roved over the people sitting down for lunch. When he couldn’t find Akira he stopped and shook his head. ‘That’s right different hair color.’ As he walked over to the silver and black head of hair he started to open the pack in his hand.
Akira was talking to Jett when he saw the cigarette hang in front of his face. Before he could snag it, it moved away. “Hey!” He turned and saw Zev.
“One then you can have the rest tomorrow. Okay?”
“Yes! Now give it!” He held it out and Akira snatched as he ran for the back door.
“Akira!” Jett tossed him a lighter and Akira grinned.
“Damn he looks like a kid who just got candy.” The wolf sat down and looked at Jett as he pointed at the three trays. “Please tell me one is yours.”
“Nope sorry.”
“Where does he put it?” He was still amazed at the site of the three trays.
“He burns it off just doing random shit.”
Akira came back his face didn’t have a very pleasing look. “What is it Akira?”
“I just tossed everything and I’m never eating eggs again.” He flopped into a chair and rested his head on the table.
They gave him surprised looks. Jett reached over and placed his hand against his head, “Nope no fever. Eggs are your favorite food!”
“Well I just felt the eggs as they came back up. Ugh… gross.”
“Was this before or after you lit the cig?”
Those green-gray eyes glanced over at Zev, “After.”
Zev’s phone rang and he picked it up. “Hello?”
“Dude no phones on in the hospital.” He turned from Jett as he said this.
“Yes we both are.” He glanced at Akira who pointed at himself. “Why?” His eyes narrowed and Zev turned around to see Karen. Akira was about to bolt, “Sit.” On a second thought he stood and grabbed Akira’s hand. “Come on.”
Jett stood up and watched as Akira dug his heels into the ground shouting at the wolf to let him go. Some of the people looked at him and he waved, “Nothing to worry about folks he just doesn’t like getting a check-up.” He quickly picked up the trays and placed them on top of the trashcan. The doors closed after him. The other people in the cafeteria looked at each other and then went back to eating.
Mitch jumped when the door to the room opened and then closed. Akira was pushed up against it, panting. He looked over his shoulder at them. “What?”
The three grinned and shook their heads, “Nothing!” There was a shout from the other side. They watched as he ran for the small cubby closet.
“Not a word.” His hissed out as it closed and then the door to the room opened. Karen walked in she looked around.
“Oooo that little brat better not be hiding!”
“Um… what did Akira do?”
She looked at Mitch, “Who are you?”
“I’m Mitch.”
“Oh the caretaker.” She shrugged, “It’s only a follow up from last week. Zev said he got sick again and we’re trying to figure out what is making him sick.” She grinned as she spoke the next part. “And if I find out he’s hiding in here and you didn’t tell me I’ll make you suffer.” The woman pulled out a rubber glove and both Mitch and Raith paled. Mitch backed away and Raith quickly sat down. She looked at the smallest of the three and he pointed at the cubby closet.
Pocketing the glove she walked over to it and opened the door. He grabbed onto the metal bar as she pulled on his legs. “I’m not going!”
“Let go of the damn bar brat!”
“Never!”
“Zev!”
The three turned to the door and saw that said wolf looked in. He pointed at himself. Karen was glaring at the wolf and as he shook his head. Jett sighed and pushed past the wolf. Walking up to Akira he looked at him. He sighed as he poked Akira in the side. Akira tried to wave his hand away and he grabbed it. The other followed after. The two carried him out of the room as he shouted.
“Mitch! Call Maria if he’ll listen to anyone it would be her!”
“That is low Jett!”
“I wouldn’t have to sink so low if you would just get checked out.”
“Hell no!! No more needles!”
“Call Maria now!”
“Let me go now, damn it!” His arm pulled free and it smacked Jett in the jaw. His jaw clacked shut. They all grew quiet as Akira looked away. The black haired male gave a low chuckle and Akira paled. Zev stepped back as Akira shouted. Jett had just tossed Akira over both of his shoulders and as now walking down the hall. All of them watched, Karen shook her head and quickly followed after.
“Was it me or did Jett just get pissed off.”
Mitch nodded, “Oh man, I really wouldn’t want to be Akira right now.”
Zev quickly followed after. When he finally found them Akira was once again tied up and this time he really couldn’t move. Did Akira look nervous? Jett gave him a cold look and then turned when he saw Zev. “Um…”
“I’ll leave Akira to you. I need to go get some ice for my jaw.” He didn’t see the why Akira flinched, but Zev did. He nodded and stepped out of his way as Jett walked out of the room.
“Thanks for joining us Zev.” He rubbed the back of his head as Karen walked in. “Can you please untie Akira.” She looked out the door and four people stood behind her. “I’ve brought back up this time.”
Two of the nurses stood inside both were female and the other two stood outside the door. They were male. Once Akira was untied he sat down next to him. They both were sitting on the examiner bed; the paper would crinkle giving away that Akira was shifting his weight nervously. He caught the white knuckled grip Akira was giving the side of the bed. His hand rested over the death gripped hand.
“Now I need you two do only two things for me.”
He didn’t move but his hands tightened even further.
She sighed and shook her head, “Look just fill this up.” He blinked at the clear cup with the lid. “Can you do that or do you need help?”
Akira snatched the cup from her, “I’m not a fucking child.”
“Could have fooled me.” Standing she walked over to the door. “We’ll give you some privacy. Zev I need to talk to you.”
He soon found himself alone in the room. “Fun I get to pee in a cup.” Sarcasm dripped off of his words.
Zev stood a little ways away from the door with Karen. “I need to know some things about Akira.” She handed him the clipboard. “Have him fill it out. I’ve got to go check on another patient; I should be back within the hour. Try to calm him down or the blood test will come back different.”
“How do I calm him down?” He flipped through the pages.
“You’re his lover think of something.”
“Some of these he won’t answer.”
“He’ll need to. I won’t let anyone see this because it will be going home with you two. I’ll pick it up when I drop of the results tomorrow.” She glanced at her watch. “My lunch break is over so I need to go to my next appointment. Like I said one hour tops.”
He nodded and then watched as she walked away. Walking back to the door he smiled at the two by the door. “Thanks you don’t have to stand here.” They looked at him as he walked into the room. “Bye.” Akira looked up from staring at the clear cup. The wolf raised an eyebrow and Akira looked away. “Either you are nervous or you are just being stubborn.”
“I’m not nervous.” He snapped.
“Let me see, you’re snappy, you’re being bitchy, oh and your temper just flared. You are nervous.”
“Fuck you.” He rolled his eyes and walked over to him.
“Here you have to fill this out. I’m going to go get some water, while you try to fill this,” he tapped the clear cup, “up.” His fingers slid into Akira’s hair and he rested his forehead against Akira’s. “Please calm down. I’m worried.”
“I’ll calm down when I’m not going to get a needle shoved into my arm.”
“This is the last time.”
“That’s what the doctors told me the last time.” He sighed and Zev kissed his forehead. “Can you get me a bottle of water?”
The wolf smile as he opened the door. “Sure.” He stopped and looked at Akira. “Did you just ask me to buy you something?”
“You’re going to get it anyways.”
“I’ll be back in a few.”
Akira’s eyes were focused on the clipboard as he quickly filled in the blanks. Sighing once again he walked out of the room and Akira’s pen stilled. His grip tightened on the pen and he shook his head. He needed to focus.
The pen scratched across the paper as the door opened. “About time I’m dying of thirst.”
There was a click and his eyes flicked up, a smirk crossed his face. As his eyes locked with black eyes he felt something twist and his fingers twitched around the pen. “Long time no see, Akira.”
“I should have known you’d be waiting for me.” He slid off the bed. “Leon Aira.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Akira yawned as he sat up. His hair was sticking up in odd angles. Shaking his head and then rubbing his hand over his hair it fell back into place. Looking around he found the room empty. He needed to smoke badly! His hand reached down to his pants and stopped. That’s right they weren’t there. Growling he tossed the blankets off and stood. The bathroom door was closed and the shower was running. ‘Zev’s in the shower.’ He smirked.
Zev opened the door and walked out. Man did he feel good. With a smile on his face he walked over to the lump on the bed. “Akira. Come on, I’m going to make you breakfast. Wake up!” He placed his hand down and blinked, gripping the sheet he pulled it back to find him gone. ‘why would he pull…’ glaring at the pillows he growled. ‘He wouldn’t…’ Akira only had today and tomorrow. ‘But is he?’
Aron leaned back in his chair the cigarette hung from his mouth. He yawned and propped his feet up. The bell above the door leading into the bounty hunters lounge rang. Looking over he grinned, “A~kira!”
The brunette stopped and looked at him. Then he walked towards him. Uh-oh he knew that look. “Bum me a cig.”
“Sorry mate I’m fresh out, had to bum myself.”
“Damn it.” He dropped onto the seat and growled. “I need one so bad… I won’t be surprised if he’s looking for me right now.”
“Who?”
“Zev.”
“Repeating. Who?”
“The wolf that was with me last time.”
“Oh. So why he looking for you?”
“He took my cigs and I can’t smoke till the end of this week.” His chin rested on his hand.
“Bummer. You must be going nuts. Did you tell him why you smoke?”
“Yeah.”
He snorted and looked at him, “I went to school with you, don’t lie.”
“I didn’t.” He growled out.
“Let me guess you told him enough to keep him from asking more.”
He looked away as he muttered, “Fuck you.”
“You’re an idiot.” Aron leaned forward and snagged Akira’s shoulder. He pulled him forward, “I remember what happened in school, what happened to you after you got out and why he was sent away. I suggest you find a cig and unwind, he’s out and looking for revenge. You’re on the list.” He let go of Akira and stood. “I bet you haven’t said a thing to Mitch about this.”
When Akira looked away he frowned and sighed.
“Look, tell Mitch this way he can be ready when the prick goes after him. I’ve been up since four because I thought someone was trying to come through my door. Well I’ve got a bounty to go after. Take care of yourself.”
The bell rang above the door and he chuckled, “Hey there!”
Akira didn’t look at him as a hand grabbed his arm. “H-hey!”
Zev ignored him and dragged him out of the building, “Good luck Akira!”
He dug his feet into the ground and Zev looked at him. Pulling his arm away he shouted back at Aron, “What the hell do you mean by that?”
“You know what I mean.” Aron patted him on the shoulder and grinned. “Be careful I don’t want to see you on the news!” He waved and walked off.
He blinked and growled, “Stop doubting me, you fucking prick!” His body was lifted up and he shouted as Zev carried him off. “Put me down! Put me…” He saw the store. “Zev, I need I need you to do something.”
“What is it?”
“First I need to get in that store.”
He turned and looked at the store Akira was talking about. “Why that one?”
“I’ll tell you, just put me down.” His feet touched the ground. Digging in his pocket he pulled out his phone. “Here take a snap of me.”
“Huh?”
“Photo. Take one.”
Zev held the phone up and took one, “I should send this to my phone.”
“After.” Akira snagged it and walked up to the store. He walked up to the counter. A teen with wild colored hair look up at him.
“What can I do for you?” It was a bored tone and Akira smirked.
“How much is it to dye hair in the store?”
“Just bring the dye and I’ll have one of the people in the back dye it. Then you can pay.”
The wolf followed after Akira, “But I like your hair the way it is.”
“I have to change it.”
“Why?”
“Someone is trying to kill me.”
“What? Who?”
“You don’t really need to know now. I’ll tell you after I get this part done.” He pulled the chip out of his phone and placed it in the small computer. Two pictures appeared on the screen and Zev turned his head.
“You took a picture of me sleeping.”
“Yep!” His fingers tapped the picture of him. “Lucky you, you can get away with any color in your hair.”
“I have a mom who does it somehow she always knows how I want it done.”
“Its call She’s you mom.” He picked a color closer in the browns. “Even if my mom wasn’t my real mom she always knew when I was going for the cookies. A mother’s sixth sense.” He picked an orange color and grimaced.
“Akira orange is not your color.”
“I can see that.”
“Try a red.” Zev pointed. “This one.”
“Good thing Marianela isn’t here.”
“Why? Try a pale brown.”
“She picked out a pale blond color last time.” He quickly picked the blonds and tapped on the pale one. The wolf coughed and looked away.
“You do look different. Let’s get a darker color.”
“I was like that for six months. I cut it all off after my roots started to show.”
“Akira with really short hair.” He smiled and pointed at a dark golden brown. “Damn looks like we’ll have to try the random colors.”
“I rather be a blond.”
“Okay well we’re stuck then. Let’s get a dark blond and go from there.” They sat at the computer for a while longer. Akira finally settled for a color. “No permanent colors just for when we go out and about.”
“Which is never now.”
“Quit your complaining.”
“I just want to get this done with.”
Zev walked out of the building with a bag in his hand. He sighed and yawned as he walked home. His phone rang. He moved to answer it when something clicked. Glancing over his shoulder he sighed. “Walk.”
“Aye aye.” He moved forward, his hands in his pockets. ‘Gun at my head.’ His thumb rubbed over the side of his finger. ‘Three…’ The people started to thin out. ‘Two…’ They walked down an alleyway. ‘One…’ The bag slipped from his hands and he stopped to get it.
“leave it!”
His hand slipped into the bag as he snagged it. “I can’t. I need these things.”
The person pushed the gun to his head again. “I said leave it.” Zev was looking up at the person when he smiled.
“I can’t do that.” In one swift movement a small knife dug into the hand holding the gun. The gun clattered to the ground. He reached for it but Zev kicked it away. “You have no weapons and a bleeding hand. What would a smart person do?” The gun man took off running out of the alleyway as Zev walked over to pick up the gun. He dropped it in the bag and turned when a can was kicked across the ground. “You done already?”
“Yeah.”
Akira had the hood of his coat over his head. Leaning over he looked at him, then glanced at his hand. “Hmmm, what’s that?”
“The guy at the front counter gave them to me. He said it might help.” His hand uncurled and he placed in Zev’s hand. “I’m going to need help with them.”
“Wait these things are…”
“Free of charge. He wanted to know why I did what I did, so I told him.”
Zev nodded and kissed him, “Alright hold still.”
The front door opened and Zev looked around, “Okay, no one’s around let’s go.” He grabbed his hand and pulled him into the house.
“Zev is that you?”
“Umm… yeah… I’ll be up stairs if you need me!” He started to push him up the stairs before Dawn could walk out of the kitchen.
Both froze when Rune appeared at the top of the stairs. “Hey… Zev… umm… is Akira all right?”
“Yeah he is!” He tugged him along as he spoke, “He’s just a little tired… ow… that hurts.” The wolf frowned at the hooded male. “Well, we got to go.”
“Oooo, what kind of hair dyes did you get?” The bag was moved behind his back.
“I’ll let you look through it later.” The two rushed down the hall, a door slammed closed and Rune tipped his head to the side his ears laid flat against his head.
“I smell chemicals.”
The two leaned against the door and gave a sigh. “Too close.”
“Tell me about it.”
Zev looked at Akira as he walked over to the computer chair. He dropped into it and sighed. His eyes were closed. “Zev… stop staring.”
“I’m still trying to get use to it.” Walking over he pushed the hood off his head. His hand ran through dark brown hair.
“They said it won’t last long.”
“Just till we can get rid of the person looking for you.”
“Or when he gets caught.”
“Akira, I really love you okay. Nothing you say to me will change that. So please tell me why are you so bent on getting a smoke.”
He gripped his arms and sighed. “Fine I’ll tell you.”
A smile spread across his face, “Thanks.”
“But first help me get these damn things out.” He chuckled as Akira went to rub at his now green eyes. “It is fucking annoying.”
“Stop, I’ll get them.”
They both didn’t hear the door open, but they did hear the sharp gasp. Akira jumped out of the seat and was hiding behind it. “Oh my god! Akira let me see!”
“Mom!”
Looking behind the chair she found him covering his head with his hood. He scrambled back and she smiled. “Well can I?” He stared at her and then sighed as the hood fell back. “You look just like your dad now!”
He grumbled out, “I’m trying not to be found.”
“I see.” The wolf was putting the color contacts away when his mom started to drop question after question. He was never going to find out what was going on was he. Turning he placed his hands on her shoulders and Dawn looked at him. “What is it Zev?”
“Me and Akira were about to talk about something. I’m sure he’ll tell you everything tomorrow when the doctor comes in.”
“Oh that’s right; Karen said she couldn’t make it tomorrow. Something happened and she has to work tomorrow and the day after.”
“Wait what about my smokes!?”
“You’ll get them tomorrow.”
He tossed his arms up and shouted, “Yes!”
The woman smiled, “Fine. I’ll give you the box and money back tomorrow morning.” She left and the door closed.
“Now why are you so excited?”
Akira grew quiet and sighed, “I need them to…” His phone rang. Pulling it out he glanced at it. “What is it Mitch?”
~“Aron is the hospital.”~
“What happened?”
~“Raith told me what happened. He was the one who talked to him, before he slipped under so the bullet could be removed. Leon attacked him.”~
He clenched his hand and sighed. “I see.”
~“Akira don’t do anything stu…”~ The phone snapped shut and he growled. “I’ll kill that bastard.”
“Akira… is everything alright?”
“No. I’m going to see Aron.”
“Huh?”
“Aron is in the hospital.” He walked out and Zev quickly snagged the contacts before he followed after him.
Akira kept the hood up as he walked into the building. Zev snagged the back of his hood and pulled it down. “Hood off.”
“Fine.” He felt his hand on his lower back and pushed him forward. “Let’s go see your friend.”
“Sure…” They walked down the hall and up to a desk. A couple of nurses were sitting down talking and another was standing looking through some files.
One turned to them and smiled. Her green eyes full of warmth, for a second Akira thought he saw Grace. Only Grace had blond hair and this woman had black. “Hello I’m Joyce. Is there something I can help you boys with?”
“We’re here to see Aron.”
“Okay I need a last name.”
“Macyn.” Akira muttered.
“The only Macyn is an Aron-”
“That’s them. What room?”
“Follow me I’ll take you to the room.” They followed after her and Zev glanced around.
“Is Aron a paranormal?”
“Yes, half fox.”
“This is the room. If you need anything just ask.”
Akira nodded and he knocked on the door, “Oi Aron it’s me and Zev.” There was a scuffling sound and he opened the door. Aron was setting up holding onto a pillow in his lap. His chin was resting on the pillow. “So how bad is it?”
“Just a back shot.”
Zev looked at him and then pointed, “You’re a…” The pillow smacked him in the face before he could finish.
“No I’m not! It’s a fucking curse! Blame my stupid father!” Then he turned on Akira. “And what the hell did you do to your hair!?! And your eyes there green!”
“Oi!”
“What you look better the other…” Akira clapped a hand over his mouth.
“I need you to tell me everything that happened. This…” he pointed at his hair, “is for a reason.”
His eyes narrowed and he harrumphed. Green gray eyes narrowed and dark green met his challenge with a dark glare. He pulled his hand back and then Aron growled out, “You are in no shape to face him. I can tell by looking in your eyes. They look just like when you first started high school.”
“Really? Because it doesn’t feel like it.”
“I don’t want to see you back there.”
“I’m fine.”
“How bad is the edge?”
“I’m fine.”
“Answer mine and I’ll answer yours!”
“Damn it!”
Aron looked around Akira at the wolf on the ground. “Hey you! If you care about him you’ll go out and get him his cigs, so help me I’ll kick you furry ass if he cracks!”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Akira…!” They glared at each other when Aron found his hand over his mouth again.
“Enough from you!”
The silver fox bit down on his hand and Akira cursed. He crossed his legs and placed his hands on his knees as he growled out, “I’ve seen you’re breaking point Akira. I don’t want to see it again. Leon pushed you to that point, what makes you think he won’t try again?” He jabbed a finger at Zev. “You drill his ass for answers even if you have to tie him to a chair.” Then he turned to Akira. “And you! You… you need to tell him what’s going on!”
“No one needs to know.”
“Bullshit! If you won’t say it then I will.” Akira looked away and he growled. “I may be all cheery cheery but when it comes to my friends I’ll be a fucking prick if I have to. Wolfy you better sit down this will take some time.”
“You’re not telling him!”
“Yes I am.” He walked over to Aron and stopped when the male held up a controller with buttons. “I’ll push it!”
“I’m going to get something to eat.” The door slammed shut behind him and Zev moved to follow.
“Sit!” The wolf flinched and sat down in the chair the pillow still in his hands. “He left because he doesn’t want to face the fact he almost fucked up his whole life.”
“What happened?” His fingers dug in to the pillow. How bad was it?
“It was my second year of high school and he had just skipped right into the third year. He was only fifteen and was placed there because he scored high on some test. The school board said if he could pass the last two years then he could get his diploma. But he had to keep his nose clean.” He shifted on the bed and muttered. “He first met Raith and me through Mitch and Jett. Then he met Leon through Raith. But I’ll skip to the important part. Leon used Akira, he used the fact Akira was a missing to run his greedy little business.”
Zev looked at the floor and then looked up, “Is he the one Akira owed money to?”
“You know about that?”
“Yeah.”
Aron sighed, “No this was before.”
~~~~~
Akira muttered under his breath as he jabbed a little too hard at the buttons on the vending machine. A few people would stop and look at him as he growled. The pack of candy was stuck and he was pissed and hungry! He twitched when he heard the whispers behind him. He glanced over his shoulder at the whispering offenders. His eyes narrowed and they sweated. There was a bang and he whipped around. The two whispers chose then to scatter.
Raith smiled at him from where he was leaning against the vending machine. “Hello.”
Crouching he pulled the bag of candy out. “What do you want?”
Mitch spoke up as he tossed an arm around his shoulders. “Well Akira at first I was like that can’t be Daisuke but now…”
“Fuck off.”
“So who pissed you off?”
“Aron is telling Zev about what happened in high school.” He ripped the bag opened and poured some pieces of candy into his hand. It was shaking.
A hand closed over it and he frowned. “Akira you’ve become to dependent on those, you need to relax another way.”
“How… I folded after that one time and it was only a month after I stopped.”
“Did you really stop?”
“Huh?”
“Think Akira you’re smart. What have you stopped but didn’t back then?”
His eyes lowered, why couldn’t he look him in the face? Raith sighed and brightened, “Hey Jett!” Akira turned away and ate his candy. Jett walked up and he stopped his eyes narrowed. A hand shot out and grabbed a fist full of Akira’s hair.
“Ack!” He glared at Jett. “What is your deal?”
“Who are you hiding from now?”
“Let go!”
He turned to Mitch, “Who is he hiding from?”
“Take a guess.”
His eyes landed on Raith and then he rubbed at his face, “Damn it!” The only reason Raith would be here in the same building as all of them was very evident. “Shit! Is Aron okay?”
“Yeah, um… is he still… umm…?” Mitch made a movement with his hand over his chest.
Akira and Jett rolled their eyes. “Yes he is still a she for another seventeen years.” The hand let go of his hair and he rubbed his head. “Do any of you have money on you I need to eat something? My stomach is going to eat itself at this rate.”
Raith looked at him with a quizzical smirk, “You’re asking for money what happened to the money you had?”
“Zev took it to keep me from buying more smokes.” Green gray eyes glared at him. “No way in hell you’re going to buy it!”
The dark haired male sighed, “I’ll buy the food Akira. Come on, knowing you you’ll want to avoid Zev for a while. You can tell me where you got those contacts.”
“Not really.” He didn’t want to see how he reacted when Aron told him about the things he had to do to.
Zev was gripping on to the pillow as he stared at the floor. “That bastard.”
“Yeah. I found him one night and he looked like shit. His body was shaking like crazy.” He shook his head. “I guess it was my fault for offering the cig in the first place. He seemed to relax and I took it as a good sign.” His fingers played with the blanket. “Leon wanted Akira to attack someone for him. The person had owed him money and he never paid him back. Akira was like the bouncer for his little money sham but Akira never wanted to do it. Back then he was different from he is now.”
There was a knock on the door and they looked as it opened. Mitch grinned and waved at them, “Hello Aron. You’re still looking very girly.”
Aron’s eye twitched and he growled. “Don’t piss me off!”
“Jeez Aron.” Raith walk over and kiss the silver fox of the head. “How are you feeling?”
Mitch gapped and Zev stared at them. The silver fox blushed, “Uh… don’t tell Akira.”
“Wouldn’t even dream of it.” Zev nodded and then looked at Mitch. Caramel eyes glanced at the face, “He’s in the cafeteria.”
He stood and tossed the pillow to Aron, “I’ll go talk to him now. I want to hear the rest from him.”
“Good luck.” He looked back at all three of them they all were waving and grinning. A very creepy grin.
The door closed and Mitch sighed. “He’s going to piss him off.”
“You never know.” He glanced at Raith and glared at him. “Hey Akira used to punch me every time he saw me, now he just has this cold front.”
“I wonder why.” Both males said in a dry tone.
“Hey! I was stupid but damn…”
He was cut off by the silver fox, “If you ever do that to me I’ll put a bullet through your head.”
Mitch snorted, “I should put a bullet through your head.”
“I’m not the one who strung him along.” They glared at each other and the silver fox sighed. Two silver tails wrapped around his curled legs. One was shorter than the other.
“Will you two ever grow up?”
~~~~~
Zev looked at his hand and sighed. Something kept nagging at him and told him not to do this. Akira has been acting weird lately. A smile was on his face. Maybe he can talk him into doing something after. The elevator doors slid open and he walked out. His eyes roved over the people sitting down for lunch. When he couldn’t find Akira he stopped and shook his head. ‘That’s right different hair color.’ As he walked over to the silver and black head of hair he started to open the pack in his hand.
Akira was talking to Jett when he saw the cigarette hang in front of his face. Before he could snag it, it moved away. “Hey!” He turned and saw Zev.
“One then you can have the rest tomorrow. Okay?”
“Yes! Now give it!” He held it out and Akira snatched as he ran for the back door.
“Akira!” Jett tossed him a lighter and Akira grinned.
“Damn he looks like a kid who just got candy.” The wolf sat down and looked at Jett as he pointed at the three trays. “Please tell me one is yours.”
“Nope sorry.”
“Where does he put it?” He was still amazed at the site of the three trays.
“He burns it off just doing random shit.”
Akira came back his face didn’t have a very pleasing look. “What is it Akira?”
“I just tossed everything and I’m never eating eggs again.” He flopped into a chair and rested his head on the table.
They gave him surprised looks. Jett reached over and placed his hand against his head, “Nope no fever. Eggs are your favorite food!”
“Well I just felt the eggs as they came back up. Ugh… gross.”
“Was this before or after you lit the cig?”
Those green-gray eyes glanced over at Zev, “After.”
Zev’s phone rang and he picked it up. “Hello?”
“Dude no phones on in the hospital.” He turned from Jett as he said this.
“Yes we both are.” He glanced at Akira who pointed at himself. “Why?” His eyes narrowed and Zev turned around to see Karen. Akira was about to bolt, “Sit.” On a second thought he stood and grabbed Akira’s hand. “Come on.”
Jett stood up and watched as Akira dug his heels into the ground shouting at the wolf to let him go. Some of the people looked at him and he waved, “Nothing to worry about folks he just doesn’t like getting a check-up.” He quickly picked up the trays and placed them on top of the trashcan. The doors closed after him. The other people in the cafeteria looked at each other and then went back to eating.
Mitch jumped when the door to the room opened and then closed. Akira was pushed up against it, panting. He looked over his shoulder at them. “What?”
The three grinned and shook their heads, “Nothing!” There was a shout from the other side. They watched as he ran for the small cubby closet.
“Not a word.” His hissed out as it closed and then the door to the room opened. Karen walked in she looked around.
“Oooo that little brat better not be hiding!”
“Um… what did Akira do?”
She looked at Mitch, “Who are you?”
“I’m Mitch.”
“Oh the caretaker.” She shrugged, “It’s only a follow up from last week. Zev said he got sick again and we’re trying to figure out what is making him sick.” She grinned as she spoke the next part. “And if I find out he’s hiding in here and you didn’t tell me I’ll make you suffer.” The woman pulled out a rubber glove and both Mitch and Raith paled. Mitch backed away and Raith quickly sat down. She looked at the smallest of the three and he pointed at the cubby closet.
Pocketing the glove she walked over to it and opened the door. He grabbed onto the metal bar as she pulled on his legs. “I’m not going!”
“Let go of the damn bar brat!”
“Never!”
“Zev!”
The three turned to the door and saw that said wolf looked in. He pointed at himself. Karen was glaring at the wolf and as he shook his head. Jett sighed and pushed past the wolf. Walking up to Akira he looked at him. He sighed as he poked Akira in the side. Akira tried to wave his hand away and he grabbed it. The other followed after. The two carried him out of the room as he shouted.
“Mitch! Call Maria if he’ll listen to anyone it would be her!”
“That is low Jett!”
“I wouldn’t have to sink so low if you would just get checked out.”
“Hell no!! No more needles!”
“Call Maria now!”
“Let me go now, damn it!” His arm pulled free and it smacked Jett in the jaw. His jaw clacked shut. They all grew quiet as Akira looked away. The black haired male gave a low chuckle and Akira paled. Zev stepped back as Akira shouted. Jett had just tossed Akira over both of his shoulders and as now walking down the hall. All of them watched, Karen shook her head and quickly followed after.
“Was it me or did Jett just get pissed off.”
Mitch nodded, “Oh man, I really wouldn’t want to be Akira right now.”
Zev quickly followed after. When he finally found them Akira was once again tied up and this time he really couldn’t move. Did Akira look nervous? Jett gave him a cold look and then turned when he saw Zev. “Um…”
“I’ll leave Akira to you. I need to go get some ice for my jaw.” He didn’t see the why Akira flinched, but Zev did. He nodded and stepped out of his way as Jett walked out of the room.
“Thanks for joining us Zev.” He rubbed the back of his head as Karen walked in. “Can you please untie Akira.” She looked out the door and four people stood behind her. “I’ve brought back up this time.”
Two of the nurses stood inside both were female and the other two stood outside the door. They were male. Once Akira was untied he sat down next to him. They both were sitting on the examiner bed; the paper would crinkle giving away that Akira was shifting his weight nervously. He caught the white knuckled grip Akira was giving the side of the bed. His hand rested over the death gripped hand.
“Now I need you two do only two things for me.”
He didn’t move but his hands tightened even further.
She sighed and shook her head, “Look just fill this up.” He blinked at the clear cup with the lid. “Can you do that or do you need help?”
Akira snatched the cup from her, “I’m not a fucking child.”
“Could have fooled me.” Standing she walked over to the door. “We’ll give you some privacy. Zev I need to talk to you.”
He soon found himself alone in the room. “Fun I get to pee in a cup.” Sarcasm dripped off of his words.
Zev stood a little ways away from the door with Karen. “I need to know some things about Akira.” She handed him the clipboard. “Have him fill it out. I’ve got to go check on another patient; I should be back within the hour. Try to calm him down or the blood test will come back different.”
“How do I calm him down?” He flipped through the pages.
“You’re his lover think of something.”
“Some of these he won’t answer.”
“He’ll need to. I won’t let anyone see this because it will be going home with you two. I’ll pick it up when I drop of the results tomorrow.” She glanced at her watch. “My lunch break is over so I need to go to my next appointment. Like I said one hour tops.”
He nodded and then watched as she walked away. Walking back to the door he smiled at the two by the door. “Thanks you don’t have to stand here.” They looked at him as he walked into the room. “Bye.” Akira looked up from staring at the clear cup. The wolf raised an eyebrow and Akira looked away. “Either you are nervous or you are just being stubborn.”
“I’m not nervous.” He snapped.
“Let me see, you’re snappy, you’re being bitchy, oh and your temper just flared. You are nervous.”
“Fuck you.” He rolled his eyes and walked over to him.
“Here you have to fill this out. I’m going to go get some water, while you try to fill this,” he tapped the clear cup, “up.” His fingers slid into Akira’s hair and he rested his forehead against Akira’s. “Please calm down. I’m worried.”
“I’ll calm down when I’m not going to get a needle shoved into my arm.”
“This is the last time.”
“That’s what the doctors told me the last time.” He sighed and Zev kissed his forehead. “Can you get me a bottle of water?”
The wolf smile as he opened the door. “Sure.” He stopped and looked at Akira. “Did you just ask me to buy you something?”
“You’re going to get it anyways.”
“I’ll be back in a few.”
Akira’s eyes were focused on the clipboard as he quickly filled in the blanks. Sighing once again he walked out of the room and Akira’s pen stilled. His grip tightened on the pen and he shook his head. He needed to focus.
The pen scratched across the paper as the door opened. “About time I’m dying of thirst.”
There was a click and his eyes flicked up, a smirk crossed his face. As his eyes locked with black eyes he felt something twist and his fingers twitched around the pen. “Long time no see, Akira.”
“I should have known you’d be waiting for me.” He slid off the bed. “Leon Aira.”
