Scare myself to death That's why I keep on running Before I've arrived I can see myself coming I just wanna feel

“Well that is going to severely hurt their feelings Drew. Just imagine all their cute little sad faces looking at you.” He was fairly certain Drew would adore any animal he brought into the house. “I don’t know. My sister has tons of animals but mainly horses. I was just thinking of maybe getting one or two dogs and another cat maybe.” He wasn’t sure what pets he wanted but he knew he wanted more. “I just want you to be yourself. We don’t have to label what we are if you don’t want to.”

“Well looks like you’ll have your hands full trying to cheer the poor things up! Busy busy.” He chuckled and shook his head. Drew knew he’d fall in love with whatever animal was brought into the house. Animals were his passion. A brow raised at the mention of a sister with horses. “Uh, you don’t happen to be related to a Cassandra, do you?” He nodded slowly though as Nate continued. “Dogs are good I can handle dogs. Quite happily.” Drew mused before sitting up a little straighter. “I know we don’t have to label what we are but it’s... It’s odd. It’s all so new to me.”

She didn’t miss the rolling of his eyes at the mention of soulmates, which just made her arch her brow in speculation. Nate hadn’t told her a whole lot about Drew, but the fact that he had offered to let this man move in with him? That was telling, because that wasn’t at all like her brother to do. Which, of course, given her recent experience with Owen made her wonder… “Never? Not even a little?” Cass pursed her lips in thought as she considered how to phrase her next question. “I don’t think it makes anyone feel like their love is any more special than anyone else’s really. I mean, how can it be if there are so many people with soulmates all up in one town, you know? But you’ve never met someone who just makes you feel different? Like more alive and just insanely drawn toward them?” So far she liked the doctor, and she didn’t think he was the type to take advantage of someone’s kindness. Besides, as a vet he couldn’t be too terribly off to the point of needing Nate for anything other than companionship. She could only hope he liked her as well - she wanted her brother to be happy, and finding a soulmate was a surefire way to feel that joy. Despite their rough beginning, Cass had certainly found nothing but happiness with Owen so far. Turning back to the matter at hand, she shrugged with a grin. “That’s why I said ‘some of the most’,” she volleyed, enjoying the easy banter with the man. Chuckling when Dusk let out a snort, gazing longingly after the doctor - probably thinking he deserved more scritches - Cass nodded as she moved away as well. “Definitely. I wasn’t really expecting you to do much today with the time given. Just wanted to give you a chance to lay eyes on everyone and see if we all meshed well.”

Drew sighed heavily, shrugging. “I think people think they all have soulmates in this town. They wanna put a better title on it than boyfriend, girlfriend, partner. Oh, have you met my soulmate? Hey, this is my soulmate. It adds a better ring to shit.” The question caught him off guard and he raised a brow. “Yes, I have met someone who makes me feel different but... Doesn’t make him my soulmate. It makes him someone important to me and someone who is different for me.” Part of him did believe that Nate was a soulmate but god did he hate that phrasing. Anything with Nathan was going to feel different because he’d never been with anyone past a few hours. Never staying a night, never cuddling. But with Nate, they hadn’t been ‘intimate’ and he’d already cuddled plenty of times and was staying with him. Drew turned back towards the animal and gave Dusk a little more affection before turning away. “I have a little time to help today but not enough to do everything. I figured you’d rather I do it all in one go, it’d probably be easier that way.”

“That is the farthest thing from the truth. I’m so right all the time it hurts.” He was clearly teasing since he was rarely right about most things. “Well technically since you’re going to move in any animals living here are partly yours so it would be your responsibility to look after them too. That means free vet services for all the cuties.” He had truly figured out the master plan for having tons of pets. “Babe I realize you have some baggage but that isn’t going to scare me away. I am committed to this. Please don’t try to push me away. Let me care about you.”

Drew pulled back ever so slightly to look at Nathan. “Nuh if you’re paying for them, their food and every other expense, they are your’s. They’re just my roomies like you are. Doesn’t make you mine.” He teased and chuckled. “What are you wanting to get pet wise?” He lolled his head back onto the couch, staring at the ceiling. “I don’t know how to let someone care for me... I don’t know how to act, I don’t know what to do in a... Whatever we are.” He whispered and closed his eyes. “I just... I know I wanna make you happy.”

[tfdrew]

nxthanwilsxn‌:

“Drew I wish you wouldn’t argue with me. I am a doctor I am pretty much always right. You’re so cute to argue with me though. I absolutely adore that you’re trying to talk me out of something that you don’t even have a chance of talking me out of.” He grinned pressing a kiss to his cheek. He didn’t know why but the more time he spent with Drew the more he adored him. He would do anything to make him happy. “I take that as a challenge. I will fit as many pets in here as I can. It will be good because I can get free vet help for them.” He teased with a smirk. “What do you mean? I’m doing this because I like you. I want you. I have since we met. I’m not going to hide how I feel about you anymore.”

Drew sighed and closed his eyes, resting his head against Nathan’s shoulder. He hid his face and inhaled his sweet scent. “Just cause you’re a doctor doesn’t mean you’re always right.” Drew muttered against him with a soft smile. “I never said I’d be a free vet for you.” He chuckled softly before looking up at him with furrowed brows. No matter how many times Nate tried to convince the wolf that there was good in him, he couldn’t believe it. Who would? How could he believe it when his whole life, he’s been told the opposite? “You do realise I come with baggage right?”

She merely shrugged back as she continued to watch the other’s features. “Change takes time.” Ever so wise with her sentiments and thoughts, but this was truly what she believed in. What she knew was the absolute truth through her own experiences. “And no all change is bad. It’s different, sure, but maybe it’ll pan out to be a good thing.”

Drew nodded and hung his head slightly. He pet the animal and chewed the inside of his lip. “I know. I should give it time but... You know me, I’m impatient.” He chuckled softly. “I just wanna feel happy and shit.” Drew cleared his throat. “I’m terrified and everything in me is telling me to run away but... I’ve found someone who I care for romantically and it’s scaring me.”

“Oh, uhm, well…” She found it interesting that he asked, seeing as Owen had asked her pretty much the exact same question when he was trying to explain the reality of things to her. “She told me stories about how werewolves lived with humans. How they were able to blend in, but also use their abilities to help others. She told me that they follow their wolf spirits, living as humans but in packs. According to Owen, my uh… friend?” Honestly she wasn’t really sure what to call him at that point. “Wolves mate for life. They can be with anyone, but they have soulmates out there. One person that is literally the other half of their soul, meant to be with them, for them, all that jazz. Sound about right so far? I was told she wasn’t too far off, which makes me think she knew some werewolves at some point.” Really, Cass needed to have another in depth conversation with Bunny, preferably face to face so she could get some real answers. She let out a breath of relief when Dr. Garnet said he would gladly take on the workload, thrilled that she would have someone nearby. She watched him carefully as he spoke to Dusk, lavishing the gelding with attention even as he did an examination. Cass was even more pleased with the horse didn’t balk at a stranger being so close to him; either a testament to the man’s skill or to the work she had done with him. Hopefully a combination of both. Leaning against the stall door, she reached out a hand and gave the horse a scratch under the forelock. “I can’t stand to see animals bein’ hurt for no reason. Specially not horses. As far as I’m concerned, they’re some of the most innocent creatures on this earth. Most loyal, too. I figure I have the means and the time, I can do some good, you know? Give them a good home, some of them even a purpose. Most of all, just show them that they deserve love and kindness.” 

Drew raised an eyebrow as she spoke. She was right by some things but the mention of mating and soulmates caused him to roll his eyes. Hell, he should believe it given how drawn he was to Nathan. It was something he couldn’t explain. Why he was so enamoured with the human, he just couldn’t put his finger on. A part of him screamed that Nate was his soulmate but the majority of him, shut that down. “Apart from the soulmates stuff, yeah, sounds pretty good. I don’t believe in that shit. Never have. Think it’s just a ploy. Bit like Valentines Day to make people think their love is more special.” He waved his hand with a shrug. Drew focused completely on the animal, well and truly in his element. “They are very loyal, yes, but most animals can be. So long as they’re treated right. Take us wolves for example. There’s always the expression lone wolf but... More often than not, wolves travel in packs and are highly loyal to the Alpha. But yes, horses are one of the most loyal but not the most loyal.” He teased with a smile and stepped away from the animal with one last pat to the head. “You seem like one of the good ones. I’m glad to see that they’re all safe and looked after. Would you like to make appointments for me to come out and do the procedures we’ve discussed?”

[tfdrew]

“I’m nowhere near perfect and I have exactly who I want to have. I don’t care that you’re a wolf. I think you’re amazing.” He smiled pressing a light kiss to his cheek. “You’re a sweetheart I don’t care what you say.” He grinned pushing him backwards until he landed on the couch. Taking the seat next to him he pulled Drew closer clearly prepared to cuddle for the rest of the night. “So since I’ve tricked you into moving in I think you should know that I have a cat. His name is Giles and he’s a grump. I don’t know if you have problems with cats of not but since you’re a vet I assume that you don’t. Also I might want a million more pets.”

“Nathan...” He sighed, shaking his head. He knew that whatever he said to Nate, the other was never going to believe him. “Not a sweetheart, Nate. I’m not nice to people, how can you call me a sweetheart when you’ve seen what I’m like?” And yet around the human, he melted. He was nice. He was soppy and actually wanted to be intimate with someone. This wasn’t Drew. Or was it? He sighed as he rested his head on the other’s chest, brows furrowed in confusion as to how the lone wolf got to here. “Huh? A cat? Yeah, that’s fine, as you said... I’m a vet. I like animals. Million pets? I know this is a big place but I dunno if you’ll get that many here.” He chuckled before looking at Nathan. “Why’re you doing this?”

[tfdrew]

nxthanwilsxn‌:

“I don’t know either. I can’t explain it but I feel this pull to you that I’ve never felt before. I want to be around you all the time and that’s not normal for me. I don’t get attached to people like this but there’s something about you I can’t stop thinking about you. When you aren’t with me I feel uncomfortable in my own skin. Like I need you around me to feel complete now.” He didn’t know how to explain how he felt and he was terrified that he was going to scare Drew off. He was being too open too honest about how he felt and Drew was going to run away. Sighing he gripped him tighter and pulled him in close . “Please don’t leave. I don’t know what’s happening but whatever this is between us I know I want it. I want you.”

A part of him was relieved that he wasn’t the only one who felt like this. But another part, it made him doubly scared. Drew had never had a relationship and this was sounding like it would turn into one. Many of the one night stands that he pissed off told him that he thought with his dick, only thinking of the next lay. Would he really be good in a relationship? Drew’s palms sweat slightly as he looked at Nate. “I-I know what you mean. It’s how I feel too. It scares the shit out of me, Nate.” He hung his head and laughed softly. “I’m not leaving... I don’t think I could. I’d only come running back.” Drew rested his hands on Nate’s chest. “You deserve so much better though, Nathan. We’ve established I’m a shit person. I’m a wolf and... God, you’re so perfect. But I-I’m not going anywhere. The thought of you with anyone else kills me.”

“It’s a little overwhelming, to say the least. I mean, my grandma always told me stories growing up, but I never imagined so many of them were based in truth, you know?” It took everything she had to not stop and sniff herself - again - at his affirmation. The first time Owen said he could smell her, she had been beyond embarrassed, thinking he meant she smelled bad. Even now, when he would nuzzle into her neck and take a deep whiff, she had to stop herself from asking if she smelled alright. Zodiac’s neck arched as he preened under the compliment, obviously feeling he was receiving his just dues. “He’s certainly something,” Cass chided the stallion, though her tone was soft, her affection for him obvious. Her eyes moved around the stable, taking in the different residents in sight as a smile pulled up her lips. “I do, don’t I? I haven’t had any problems with any specifically, save for one. He’s my newest rescue - a terrible case of neglect and abuse…” Her heart hurt, remembering the state of the gelding when she’d picked him up. “I’ve had one of the vets from a few towns over coming out to check in on everybody, but when I heard you were settin’ up shop in town, I wanted to see if you’d mind taking over. I’d rather have someone close by in case of emergencies.” As she spoke, she led them to a corner stall a bit away from the other horses and the hustle of the main aisle. Immediately she started cooing softly to the gelding inside, pleased when he trusted her enough to come to the stall door. “This is Dusk. Still a work in progress,” Cass admitted, gesturing to the sunken ribs and protruding hip bones, “but he’s been making leaps and bounds so far. I don’t know if you do dentistry as well, but if you use manual tools, he could really use his teeth floated. I had a dentist out the other week, but he refused to use anything but electric tools, and Dusk wasn’t having any of it.”

“Stories, huh? What did she tell you?” More often than not, stories about his kind seemed false. Based on fictional books and damn movies. And... If they were truth, a lot of the time they came from a horses’ mouth so to speak. He was intrigued plus maybe he could learn more about his kind from the stories. He’d been a lone wolf for so long, more information couldn’t hurt. Drew nodded as he quickly examined the horses, pleased that from a quick scan they all seemed in good health. Looked after too. He frowned slightly as she spoke about a rescue. Drew nodded and offered a rare smile. “Of course, I’d be happy to take on this place. It would make sense, yes, to have a vet who’s nearby. Saves someone coming into town and driving past me to get to you. Plus, I love horses.” He mused with one more stroke to the stallion before following Cass. Drew’s eyes widened as he looked at the poor, neglected horse. “You poor baby, what did they do to you?” He whispered, setting his things down and giving his full attention to the animal. He was pleased that the gelding allowed him to examine, shaking his head and feeling his heart ache with each wrong doing he found. “I’m glad you rescued him, Cass.” He mused quietly before gently cooing and comforting the animal.  “I do indeed do dentistry and yes, I have manual tools.” Drew mused and gently examined the horses’ teeth. He nodded. “We’ll get you in top shape, huh, Dusk? You’ll be winning all the girl’s hearts soon, don’t you worry.” He smiled before turning to the woman. “I’m really glad that you’ve rescued all these animals.”

Nathan hated the distance between them when Drew pulled away. He knew he had to be careful to not push him too much but every part of Nathan was screaming that he had to have his hands on him again. It made him feel uncomfortable. He wasn’t a very affectionate person in general but he just wanted to always be affectionate with Drew. Even from the first time they had met Nathan had found reasons to touch him. “You aren’t going to ruin anything. I want this. I want you. I’m glad you did it. Come here.” He smiled holding his hands out trying to coax the werewolf into coming closer. He took a few steps closing the space between them his arms moving to wrap around his waist again. 

Drew’s brows furrowed as he looked at Nathan. “I don’t... I don’t know what’s going on, Nathan,” His voice quiet and full of fear. He swallowed a lump in his throat but felt it rising again. Eyes welling with tears and he shook slightly in the other’s grip. “I-I don’t know what’s happening to me. I don’t depend on people. I’ve been alone my whole fucking life and then... One night with you, and not even a fucking sexy night! One night of you taking care of my wounds and I can’t... I can’t stop thinking about you. This has never happened to me before.” His heart raced as he looked at Nathan. “Why? I think I have feelings for you. I don’t... I don’t get it. I mean, I do, you’re amazing and handsome but... I’m a one night kinda guy and we haven’t slept together and I keep coming back.”

There were very few people she actually cared for. Which was a funny thing given how she always offered her utmost sympathy and genuine interest to those within the premise. Yet there was a distinct difference between who came through her door for business and those that came for other reasons. Drew was one of the few she seemed to care for. 

“That’s understandable.” Saoirse kept the man in her peripheral as she kept petting her cat. Clo slunk away from her palm and trailed towards Drew; again with a small meow. “It’s a transition that’ll take some time, but it is possible that there’s something else that neither one of us can fulfill.” As much as it pained her to state such a thing, she wasn’t about to sugar coat everything for the sake of false reassurance. 

Drew let out a heavy huff, clearly agitated. He’d been feeling like a caged animal since arriving here. It was silly really because he could leave whenever he wanted. But something inside him was urging him to stay and he wasn’t used to that. He smiled a little though as the animal approached him. He extended a hand for her. 

“I’m just not used to it, So. I rarely stayed in a place longer than a few months and I-I’m actually planning to stay here. I have a fucking roommate.” He muttered, frowning. A roommate that he felt something for. Something he’d never felt before. “Something that neither one of us can fulfil? What do you mean?” His attention remaining on the cat as he stroked her. He wasn’t sure what ‘normal’ was any more. Had he felt safe and like he belonged since he was twelve? He couldn’t put his hand on a moment where he felt truly wanted and part of something. “What makes us stay here? What’s so special about this damn town?”

“What? Ya never got to say some dumb shit like that before?” Casey said, all leaned forward with a gobsmacked expression on his face. “Oh, dude, have ya met me? Cause if ya did then you’d know it’s half of the shit that comes outta my mouth. If there ain’t somethin’ serious happenin’ then I’m probably tryin’ to slip n’ slide like I’m a thing of butter.”

Drew shook his head, laughing a little. “Nope nobody’s said shit like that to me. I don’t know whether to be thankful or upset, really.” Playful roll of his eyes at the other’s words. “Really? Go on then, let’s hear some good ones.”

heather smiled, not bothered by appearances and sort of amused, “no, but people can surprise you.” she offered, though her smile fell and her eyes turned to roll when he spoke again. well, she hadn’t expected him to be the nicest person in the world. “listen, i wasn’t trying to be rude, i have a huge test i’m worried about, and a lot of books to move if someone sits near me.” she began, not really sure what she was asking, “but i’ve been told i should be nicer, so i’ll shove everything over if you’re dying to sit next this ‘princess.”

“i’m not the kind of person to impress or surprise people. what you see is what you get.” drew shrugged. he’d barely waited for a response before putting his books down. “you’re not making that much of a mess, i can manage to sit and deal with the stuff.” he rolled his eyes. “oh yes because all my life i’ve just been dying to have a situation like this.” drew sat and picked his book up once more. “there, not even in your way now!”

There was a slight lift of her shoulders as went to run her hand over the side of the feline’s head. Her gaze flitted back over towards Drew for a brief moment before she looked back down at her pet again. “Not the busiest, but it’s passable.” Passable, but not the easiest arrangement’s within the past week. “How about you? Can’t be too busy if you’re dawdling here with me.”

Drew let out a small huff at her question. He nodded slowly. “Yeah, we’ve been busy at work. It’s my day off hence me being here but uh... It’s safe to say it’s been a bad week.” He leaned back in his seat, poking his fingers through the holes in his jeans. They weren’t fashionably holey more that he couldn’t really afford new ones right now. Drew chewed the inside of his cheek. “I thought settling into the town would help me feel... Better. Less lonely. There’s you and there’s Nate and work and it’s all seeming to work out right but I still feel... Empty.”

“Course I do- ya kiddin’ me? I had this guy ask me how I’m doin’ that with my mouth with a look like I’d just shot ‘em in the gut.” Yet the grin stayed on his face while he spoke. “Then I naturally answered with a- well why don’t ya come over n’ find out? Which isn’t.. my proudest moment- I’ll admit it.” He couldn’t even say the whole thing without laughing. 

Oh, how he wished someone had said something like that when he wasn’t so drawn to a certain doctor. “I have always wanted someone to say something along those lines to me. All those sexual meet cutes are my fave and I’m honestly upset I never got to indulge.” He chuckled, shaking his head. “Please tell me you indulge in things like this often so I can live through you.”
