Xzavier looked like he was cooling down, but Allen knew he wasn't. Don't ask him how he knew, he couldn't give you and answer other then he simply knew. He didn't know how to deal with it. He'd rather not leave him, but he also didn't know if that would help. Should he try to talk to him? No that never seemed like it worked. What would he want someone to do if he were mad? Allen was sort of an emotional mad, he would explode and if he got angry enough he tended to cry. It was embarrassing, enough so that he learned to go with the flow and avoid getting too mad all together. Xzavier didn't seem like that kind of person. Instead of leaving, or thinking it through more like a normal person would he hesitantly reached up and patted Xzaviers head "Thanks for standing up for me." his mother used to do this to him a lot, it was probably only effective on kids. Hopefully the other teen wasn't insulted at his actions, he had kinda moved without thinking. Some strange need to calm him down, seeing him angry for his sake almost hurt. It was strange, something must be in the air. He'd never acted like this before, much less found the need to pat someones head.

When Allen patted Xzavier on the head, his eyes narrowed. The other acted almost as if Xzavier was a dog. Did that mean?? Did that mean he knew?? No, it wasn't possible. He couldn't have known, no one told him. And it seemed like Allen didn't notice any of the warning signs. And for that, Xzavier was grateful. He willed himself not to lean into Allen's touch, to not seem so needy and desperate. But he just couldn't help himself. He didn't open his eyes, feeling his rage slowly begin to subside the longer Allen kept his hand on Xzavier's head. His body slowly began to relieve itself of tension, but the inner wolf of Xzavier still wasn't satisfied. Sure, it was pleased that its Mate was showing concern, but it was still upset at how he had been treated. "Yeah, no problem." He managed to gasp out, his canines receding back into his gums. His voice was deeper than usual, part of his Alpha tone and inner wolf managing to weave their way through.

The breath he had been holding was let out in a sigh "Good. You looked like you were really mad and I was worried." he pulled back his hand, fingers brushing against the others cheek. Smiling he placed a hand on his hip and looked him up and down, remembering for a second that he had thought he saw black eyes. Must've been his imagination. "Sorry about getting in your personal space," he laughed sheepishly "I've never been really good at calming people, but my mom used to do that a lot." there were a lot questions he wanted to ask, like if he also felt the sparks, but he would probably just sound weird. For now he would be fine with Xzavier cooling down.

"It helped." He said quietly, his breath barely above a whisper. "Thanks." He added after a moment's hesitation. "This doesn't happen a lot, really. I don't.. I don't know what came over me." He lied smoothly, worried that the other would be terrified and leave Xzavier alone. "He should t have done that to you. He knows better." He mumbled, slowly unclenching his hands from fiats. "He knows better." Xzavier repeated. Just thinking about Jon made his blood want to boil all over again and he had to inhale another shaky breath. "I'm sorry for causing a scene." He muttered, looking like a puppy who had just been yelled at.

A laugh escaped his lips and Allen scratched the back of his head "You don't need to look so sad about it. I'm not going to yell at you. But I really did appreciate it, even if you did go kinda extreme." by should have known better Allen guessed it meant that Xzavier had had to talk to him about bullying before. Other wise it would have been the first case. Clapping his shoulder Allen suggested "Now that that's over we really should head back, i'd rather not spend more time then I need to in the school building."

Xzavier just nodded, not trusting himself to speak thanks to his voice being caught in his throat. He gestured for Allen to "lead the way," not wanting the other to constantly give him worried glances when he thought Xzavier wasn't looking. His mind was still racing, pounding and filling him up with negative thoughts. Ideas that included rejection, that included him growing up without ever having his soulmate by his side, that had him dying quickly and alone, that had him handing over the pack to his Beta because he was far too weak to do anything. These thoughts made him so tired that he wanted to sleep for the next few days. But, he couldn't. He needed to socialize with his Mate, see how much he could get Allen to trust him.

Allen nodded and started walking, hanging close by Xzavier. The other didn't look like he wanted to talk, or do much for that matter "Are you sure you're ok? Do you want me to drive you home or something?" despite not having a car of his own Allen did have a drivers license and was good at driving, and he even thought he could find his way back to Xzaviers hourse "Or I could find one of your friends..." there wasn't much he could do if Xzavier wasn't talking.

Xzavier shook his head. "If you drove me home, how would you get to your place?" He muttered, not wanting his Mate to walk down the streets alone. Not right now, not ever. He tossed the other his keys, striding to his car. "Drive yourself home and I'll be able to drive back to the pac- to my house." Xzavier stuttered, fumbling his words. Boy, was his mind certainly messed up. Shifting as soon as he got to the packhouse would be necessary.

"If you insist." he had been planning to walk home but this was easier. Jumping into the car he waited until Xzavier had his seat belt on and started the car. It drove well, the car in good shape. It didn't take long to get out of the school parking lot and the drive to his house was maybe five minutes. While they were stopped at a light he glanced over at Xzavier, this being the longest the other had ever been quiet.

He stared blankly in front of him, keeping his hands in his pockets, even while being seated in the car. His nails were lengthening into claws, and he didn't want Allen to see. Since he wasn't talking, Xzavier was quietly stewing in his own rage and self-deprecating thoughts, which wasn't a good mix. He could feel the concern of the other coming off of him in waves, but he couldn't bring himself to look at his Mate. He just couldn't.

As the light turned green Allen took a left and drove to his house, parking in the front "Thanks for letting me use your car. If you're sure you're ok i'll head out now..." (Sorry for the pathetic reply DX)

{{ ah no!! no biggie!! i had a little idea to add on to this but i wasn't sure: so Allen goes home, right? And Xzavier is still hella UPSET so his wolf takes over his mind and all and he shifts. so then he traces Allen's scent back to his house and just chills in the woods in the background because that isn't creepy at all. and idk HOW but the two interact, wolf and person. oof idk }}
He nodded, managing to murmur a "Be safe." when the other slid out of his car and headed into his house. He sat there for a moment before exiting his car to enter the driver's seat. Locking the doors, he took his hands out of his pockets and looked down at them. He frowned, they were still trembling.

Sorry it took me so long to reply DX Volleyball is the devil recently since we just started. And that idea works, poor Allen has to face wolf but he'll prob be like "Yeah, ur basically a dog." when he gets to know him.)
Allen yawned and walked into his house. He spotted a not on the table and read it over. His parents would be gone for the day, they were working in the next couple towns over. Something about a thing they were looking for finally showing up. Shrugging he ran into his room, opened the window for some air flow, and plopped down on his bag to finish up his homework. Finishing it early would give the best results.

{{ ahh, don't worry about it!! volleyball is hella exhausting, rest up and take your time.~ "ha, you mutt." }}
Somehow, Xzavier had managed to drive home. He would've liked to shift right then and there, but leaving his car on Allen's driveway would seem suspicious. As soon as he parked his car, he slid out of the seat and locked the doors, putting them in his pockets. Oh, that would be futile. Whenever he shifted, his clothes tore. It would be best to get rid of them and put them away in his closet, wouldn't it?
Heading inside and walking towards his room, Xzavier scented the air. Jon wasn't here yet. No matter, it was only three. He had four hours to obey his Alpha's command. Striding inside his room and firmly shutting the door behind him, he somehow managed to keep his cool long enough to strip and open his window.
{{ woah, naked man jumping out window alert }}
As he slid outside from his window, Xzavier released hold on his consciousness, allowing his wolf to take over. It did so effortlessly and with much glee, his human form immediately breaking down until he landed on the ground on all fours. Being an Alpha, Xzavier's wolf form was bigger than any member of his pack, his sleek black fur hiding the muscles that lay underneath.
It scented the air, growling softly when it detected its Mate. Starting to trot into the woods, the wolf maneuvered its way through the trees, occasionally lifting its nose at times. It eventually came across its Mate's home and settled itself on the outskirts of the trees that lay behind the house. It tilted its head to look up at the house, whining slightly when its Mate was inside, not outside.

RIP anyone walking by XD)
Allen finished up his math and went to his art (doesn't even remember what classes I had him take). He had to go out and take a picture of something he found cool or pretty. Pretty simple really, he could take a picture of a tree and say it was pretty, getting an easy A on the assignment. Opening the front door he pressed the lock button and walked around the side of the house until he reached the back. Pulling out his phone he opened the camera and paced around the side of the house a bit, trying to find a decent picture.

{{ okay, tru. "Mom, what's that dog?" "Honey, that's not a dog. That's more like a bear, get in the car." }}
The wolf's head shot up as his Mate appeared on one side of the house, his scent stronger than ever. Its tail wagged ever so slightly, wanting to do nothing more than bound up to its Mate. But Xzavier had mentioned before that their Mate didn't even know what they were, that they belonged to the world of lycans. It whined again, taking a step towards Allen. Its eyes were exactly the same as Xzavier's: A striking cobalt blue with tints of gold close to the pupil. They stood out amongst the shadows the trees gave and it whimpered, wanting to go to its Mate. Can you imagine? A 170 pound monster whining because they couldn't get what they want?

Allen turned and accidentally touched the screen. Cursing he looked at the pictured and... there were two glowing eyes in the bushes. His mouth went dry as he slowly lowered his phone, a cold sweat breaking out along his back. Gulping he didn't see the eyes now, but they had been there. Hesitantly moving forward he stopped a couple paces from the bushes, squinting to see better. (XD)

When its Mate moved closer, the wolf stepped forwards hesitantly. It knew that Xzavier would be furious if it scared off Allen. It blinked, its eyes making eye-contact with Allen. It was almost tall enough that their eyes were on the same level, but the wolf was slightly shorter despite being an werewolf. It tilted its head and wagged its tail slightly, pleased that its Mate noticed it.

"GEh..." Allen froze, then took a sudden burst of steps back. It may look content with just watching him. But this was a wolf, a very large would, and would likely use him as a snack. Swallowing he fumbled for his phone, dropping it as he tried to put in the pass code. "Dang it." he hissed softly.

It stopped wagging its tail when it scented its Mate's fear. It pressed its ears to its skull and whimpered, moving closer. Why was its Mate so scared? It wasn't going to hurt him, it just wanted to see if its Mate would accept it. It would kill both Xzavier and the wolf if Allen didn't. Both emotionally and physically.

Allen was just about to sprint when the creature whimpered. Was it sad that it's meal was gonna run? This reminded him of the scene from How To Train Your Dragon but this wasn't a movie. He could get his hand bitten off. Before he could consider what to do he noticed it's eyes. There was something familiar, something he couldn't quite place. But the look in it's eyes didn't look savage or hungry, just... curious. Taking a shaky break he stood his ground and watched to see what it would do. He wouldn't run unless it attacked, but instead he would stay and see what the animal wanted with him.

{{ that reference tho }}
Realizing that its Mate wasn't going to run away anytime soon, the wolf took another few steps forward, the rest of its massive form escaping from the tree's shadows. It sniffed at its Mate's hand that rested by his side before nudging its cold nose against Allen's palm. It wagged its tail as its Mate's scent overwhelmed it and it barked happily.

The teen squawked but didn't pull away. The animal seemed almost happy. He stood there for what seemed like an eternity before he picked up his hand and gently stroked the animals head, hesitating to see if it would suddenly turn on him like cats did. They'd act calm but as soon as you did something they deemed wrong they'd bite and claw your hand off.

When Allen responded with a gentle touch on the head, the wolf was ecstatic. Its tail wagged back and forth excitedly as it let out another bark. Its Mate wasn't running away, Allen wasn't looking at them with fear, well, not much fear. At least he didn't have any hatred in his eyes. The wolf didn't know how Xzavier would feel if that happened. It was glad it wouldnt have to experience that.

The ends of his mouth threatened to curl into a smile. Dogs had always been great, he'd wanted one as a child, but this was a wolf. A wild animal. First chance it got it might just bite him. And a bite from this big an animal would easily take off an arm or even a hand. When it seemed to be happy enough he scratched it behind the ear and treated it simply like a big dog. Rubbing it's surprisingly nice fur and scratching it's ears. Finding his voice he asked "Why are you even here? It even possible for a wolf to be this big?" he knew it wouldn't answer but talking made him feel better.

The wolf titled its head and barked its response. Since the two of them were not Bonded and Allen didn't bear Xzavier's Mark, it couldn't mindlink the other. It was disappointing, to be honest. It nuzzled Allen with its snout, wagging its tail more. It wanted to be with its Mate as much as possible, but it didn't know how long Allen would stay outside. It was confused as to why its Mate was even in the outdoors. Everything was always rainy and gloomy.

Remembering his assignment Allen pulled away from the wolf "Sorry but I have an assignment to do and if I have to do it in the rain i'm revolting and not going back to school." he was being sarcastic of course, and it wasn't like the wolf would understand him anyways. Waving it away a little, afraid that might make it mad he picked up his phone and dusted off the screen. Thankfully it hadn't cracked or anything.

It whined, the gentle pat from its Mate subsiding away as Allen removed his hand from its head. It took a step forwards, not wanting its Mate to go away. It tilted its head and whined again, not wanting to go back. Because as soon as it went back to the packhouse, Xzavier would take over once more. After all, they still had to teach that insubordinate a lesson.

"What are you? I don't think i've ever seen a wolf as friendly as you." Allen figured it must have been raised in some sort of human home, if not it normally would have taken off a finger or hand by now. Maybe it had been abandoned. But why was it here? There was little he could offer it "You really should leave. My parents will be back soon and they're not a huge fan of animals. I tried asking for a dog once and they shot me down." why he was sharing life stories with a wolf was beyond him. But that's just how his life was apparently. (Sorry i've been so inactive. Once school starts and things settle down it should be a bit easier to get on.)
