This story will also involve sexual and intimate relationships between two (or more) males, and if this offends you or it is illegal for you to be reading, then please leave. If you are under the age of consent for your community, please leave. And if it does offend you, I honestly don't know why you're even here in the first place. Or are you just into things that offend you? Huh, kinda existential, I guess. Teth 2 Xusion stared at the small figure, dumbstruck. Wulves were taught that for one, Psii were all extinct due to human and wulf hunters, and for another, that they were dumb, ugly, brutish, maniacs that deserved their fate. Was this boy really one of the fabled creatures he had secretly hoped never to find? Xusion decided to take his chances. Reaching down into the box, he scooped the little one up in his arms. He couldn't have weighed more than 100 pounds, so he had little trouble picking him up. Holding him close, Xusion felt his heartbeat; it was slow. Too slow for comfort he thought, deciding to take him home as quick as he could. He carried him outside the carriage, noticing that the third horse had gotten away since he last noticed. `Oh well...' he thought. `Guess I'm gonna have to run home.' He put the boy down on a patch of grass before morphing into his lupin form. Now in his sleek four-legged shape, Xusion grabbed him in his jaws and threw him on his back before heading home. Finally reaching the patch in the forest he called "home," Xusion set the boy down on his bed of long leaves. `I don't think I"ll be sleeping anyway...' He ducked over to the water hole, finally taking a look at himself. Xusion was strong, even for a wulf. His entire body, his arms, abs, legs, pecs, were chiseled muscle. Tattoos ran down his arms from the first initiation, symbolizing that he was ready for battle. He wore baggy cotton pants tied with a rope and no shirt, since he had just shifted. Like most wulves, his arms and legs were rather hairy, although Xusion's body hair was thinner and softer than others. His face was rugged, his hair pitch black and longer length, with the hint of a shadow on his chin. Others told him that he had intense eyes; he was often admired in the Huddle by a lot of people, but he wasn't interested in a mate. He washed his face, and decided to take a closer look at his guest. Looking him head to toe, he was toned, but still very skinny; Xusion could easily overpower him. What was most evident at the moment was his clothes, and his ragged condition. He was dirty all over, and his clothes were basically in tatters; Xusion had to do something. Although a little hesitant, Xusion had to strip him. He started by slipping his shirt over his head and away from his arms. This caused him to groan and curl up further from the cold. Xusion felt wrong, staring at him. He finally mustered the courage to take off his pants, promising himself that he wouldn't look. He didn't; the first thing he did was carry him over to the water hole. Taking a cloth, Xusion sponged him off. He was gentle in his movements, as though afraid he might break him. Slowly wiping off the dirt, Xusion noticed scars on his pale body. They were everywhere; as though he had been whipped repeatedly. Confused, Xusion wiped the dirt from his face, revealing the soft, sleeping visage he had fallen for earlier. He parted his hair and touched his forehead- he was slightly hot. Worried, Xusion rushed to find clothes for him. Not knowing what else to do, he took off his own pants and slipped them onto him. He rushed to his room to grab a shirt, and ran back. He found the boy tossing and turning in the grass now, his body still wet and slippery from the bath he gave him. He was obviously too small for Xusion's large pants, and his body slipped out of them enough so that Xusion could see his thighs, but his private parts were still partially covered. His chest was heaving harder with breath. Seeing his pale, wet skin glistening in the moonlight and hearing him give off a soft moan, Xusion blushed and looked down; he was apparently enjoying this. The sight in front of him was rather beguiling, and Xusion had to restrain himself from doing anything rash. He quickly put the shirt on the boy and slipped his pants up further, now laying him down in his bed again. Xusion was fast to put on another pair of pants again, mortified and glad that no one was around to see. He pulled a blanket onto him, and for the rest of the night he sat; watching the unknown boy tossing in his sleep, softly groaning at each turn. ~~~~ Night finally turned into day, and the boy slowly blinked his eyes open in the sunlight. His mind was in a daze, his body tired and sore from the sedative hex cast on him- `what happened to me?' He slowly sat up, groaning from the pain of moving. Shaking his head, he noticed the clothes he was wearing. They definitely weren't his; they were extremely loose, and he had to tie the rope around the pants in order to keep them from completely falling off. The scene was calm enough, and the air was fresh as he examined his surroundings. Then he saw it: a muscled, pitch black wolf staring him straight in the eye. The boy pulled back in fear, sure that the dog would devour him at any moment. He pulled the blanket around him and closed his eyes, preparing for the worst. He waited several seconds, but nothing happened. Confused, he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Are you alright there?" a voice asked. He opened his eyes, only to see the dog gone and a large man in its place. His large frame cast a shadow over him, and the boy wasn't any more relieved by the presence of a stranger. "Who are you?" His voice was quiet and Xusion could detect fear. He didn't give him eye contact, so Xusion kneeled down until they were face to face. "I'm Xusion. What's your name?" He spoke gently and reassuringly, so as to comfort him. His eyes looked up slightly, and he timidly looked Xusion over. "... My name is Teth." Xusion was surprised by how coherently he talked, a stupid Psii who only focused on destruction. And to think: he had one right in front of him! Teth felt uncomfortable being so close to him, and he shifted a little in his place. Moving made him grimace in pain, and Xusion tightened his grip on his shoulder. "Be careful!" Now sharply inhaling from Xusion's grip, Teth recoiled in terror. "Get off me!!! NOW!" Xusion, slightly surprised by the outburst, let go of his shoulder and leaned in more. He spoke quiter; "Hey, it's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you... you're safe now." Teth made a skeptical, even angry look. Xusion was puzzled. "Well... I'm gonna do one thing, and that's get some food- you're way too skinny, Teth." Xusion stood up and gathered material for a stew. He didn't have any meat, so they would have to settle for a rather bland stew made of some roots and spices. Xusion began to start a fire, noticing Teth still huddled in his place, watching Xusion's every move. Xusion just smiled and waved at him, to which Teth responded to with a nervous look and averted eyes. By the time the stew was boiled, Teth seemed cautiously excited. Xusion offered the bowl to him, and Teth consumed it faster than Xusion thought possible. Xusion smirked impressively. "Glad you liked it." Teth wiped his mouth and looked up from his bowl. Xusion leaned over and smudged a bit of soup on the corner of his mouth off with his thumb. Teth reflexively drew back. Xusion chuckled a little. "Hey, just call me Xusion." Teth suddenly turned embarassed, his cheeks flushing slightly. He still seemed a little angry, but it was from confusion if anything. "Xusion... th-thank you." he finally managed to fumble out. It was Xusion's turn to blush this time. "Ah, well you know, it was... it was nothing." "No... it wasn't... I -aagh!" Teth was cut short by his own aches, which apparently hurt more than he thought they would. "Are you okay?" Teth panted. "It's a...hex. I know it put me to sleep, but I think it drains me of strength and stamina too...I can't move a thing without aching..." As curious as Xusion was to hear his whole story, it would have to wait. He knew the Huddle had something to use to combat hexes, so he could rush there and back to get it to him. "Listen, Teth. I can get you something to help, but you have to stay here for a little while. Will you be okay?" Teth hesitated for a while, not sure if he wanted to be alone. He decided with a kurt nod, possibly still a little untrusting. Xusion nodded solemnly. "I'll be right back, so don't worry okay? For now, Teth, I want you to rest, while I get something to make you get better." Xusion gave him a smile, and walked out into the woods, noticing Teth watching him the whole way. `What a weird guy.' Xusion thought to himself. ~~~~ Xusion entered the large clearing, and met the familiar sight of the Huddle wulves; the makeshift huts and the fire started for warmth. The first thing he noticed was Aileena rushing to him. "Xusion where the hell were you last night?? Shollin almost had our heads!" she yelled. Xusion's eyes widened- he had forgot to deliver the results for the final sweep. "Listen, you better get over there and explain it to him, alright?" "Um Aileena, I think you might want to-" "No time! Just hurry!" Aileena pushed him into the direction of Shollin's hut. Xusion breathed deep, Aileena ushering him in. Shollin's hut was smoky and dark, but things were still bright enough for Xusion to see through. Shollin, silver grey hair and red tattoos, was facing him. "...Um... Shollin, sir?" Xusion asked, as his voice became uncharacteristically mousy. He was met with a glare, and Xusion prepared for the ride of his life. ~~~~ "Fun" fact for fans!: I think I started writing Teth two years ago, actually, as a sort of for fun creative writing project. At this point it's very long, but not formatted for upload... Anyway, I have a strange sort of fixations for werewolves, but strangely enough, what inspired this story was the music video for Goldfrapp's "Strict Machine." Look it up on youtube, and see what I mean. Yes, the people with wolf heads. No, I didn't find it necessarily sexy, that would be creepy. But it did remind me of werewolves, and werewolves are totally hawt with a "w!" At least I think so for some reason. So there. :P Howday! Boy, that took a while. No!!! I am not going to let myself neglect Teth! I have this same problem with my other story, Diana Celes, so I better hop to it. Teth is revealed! If perhaps in a bit of a raunchy manner :/. Anyway though, he's got quite a long story to tell... Questions? Comments? Reccomendations? Fan Mail? Hate Mail, maybe? Wanna just chat? Email me at ThePleiadesCall@gmail.com . Love to hear from you! If you like Teth, maybe there's the very vague possibility you'll like other stories I've submitted: Charmed Reborn (celebrity), Final Fantasy Rosa (celebrity), Pokemon: Amethyst (celebrity), Diana Celes (high school), and Hallow (sci-fi).
