"To cool off literally or figuratively?" Val asked with another chuckle, carefully looking around for anything or anyone out of place. The thought that this could still be an ambush was still wavering her mind. he would be such a coward as to let others do his dirty work, would he? She shook the thought from her mind and followed Min inside the barn, occasionally sniffing the air for signs of danger. Instead, she just got allergies. The dust and hay in the air irritating her sense of smell, causing her to sneeze a few times.
She watched from the ground as the other swiftly climbed the beams to the main one in the middle and sat down. She planned on doing the same when his question froze her to the spot. "Why did you bring me to a place so private to ask a question?" she countered icily, her irritability getting in the way of her own rationality.
i came to reiterate my brother's warning, duh.
"false, you came to apologies for your brother's threat because you cared for the vampire boy.*
She growled softly in frustration and plopped herself onto a hay bale near the back of the room "can a girl not go out into town without being interrogated?" she tilted her head, voice a bit calmer bu it still help a sharp edge.
He laid down along the beam with a sigh. Her sneezes were rather cute he thought.
"I don't feel safe out there. A pack of werewolves against me…. Well it doesn't really fit together fairly. I'd be dead with only maybe two of yours injured." he sighed. "I don't know why vampires don't stay in packs. I'm not fucking Edward Cullen over here" he scoffed, venting for a bit.
"anyway, I don't trust you fully either. As I assume you still don't trust me. Which is fair. I'm an enemy to your kind and I've been nothing but an absolute jerk to you" he shrugged. It's been a long day. An enjoyable one. "I don't blame you for hating me" he closed his eyes. His guard was by appearances, down.
"anyway, I saw your expression when you spotted me. You were looking for me. Why?" he turned over on his side and looked at the girl, his eyes glowing a whitish red color, the dust dimming it just a bit.
"At least you have the advantage of blending in. One human that supposedly was attacked by animals and the hunters go to the woods. surrounding our pack until they're picked off one by one. Those who live had to kill and now are still being hunted. You're not Edward and I'm not Jacob. Neither of us are safe." She settled comfortable in the hay, despite how itchy it was and gazed up at him. "No, I don't trust you. I trust you more than I did this morning but still not fully." she shook her head and fiddled with a piece of straw, stinting it in her hand before letting float off in the slight breeze. "I don't hate you specifically. I hate vampires for an entirely different reason other, not because they're our natural born enemy or because some book decided to pit us against each other until the wolf got some weird attraction to a vampire child."
She glanced away when he pinned her with his gaze and sighed softly before responding. "I came to enforce what my brother said. He's serious about running you out of the territory if he sees you back. He'd probably kill you. Though from what you tell me, you'd probably put up a good fight. Chire's not a Big Bad Wolf. He's a great Alpha and an even better brother but he can be irrational when it comes to stressful situations. He has every right to be. I just don't want you- anyone for that matter to receive that response."
As she was talking about her pack being hunted he did feel bad. "it gets lonely out here" he muttered quietly. A normal human wouldn't have heard, but a wolf… Maybe.
He had hoped she didn't trust him yet for her own good. So relieved to hear that oddly enough.
Scoffing at her comment about weird attraction, noticing the irony of It all. He did admit she was beaitiful smart, witty and quick on her feet. But he wasn't attracted to her. The feelings and emotions he felt towards her was just the fact that he's been alone for such a long time and she actually talked to him in the fun joking way that nobody else did. Suddenly the moment with her underwater flashed in his mind and his face turned red. "damnit Min-Hyuk, you don't get flustered like this by a stupid dog nonetheless"
He was grateful it was dark or else she would be able to see his red face.
She nodded solemnly, “yeah, it does.” She rolled on her side and tucked her arm under her head.
“So this is what you brought me here for? To ask what I was doing in town?” She chuckled softly “no I almost want the thrill of running away from people trying to kill me.”
Val looked at him, watched as the moonlight filtered through the holes in the ceiling onto Min.
He kept his eyes on the ceiling avoiding looking at her forms few more seconds until he regained his stoic composure.
"why'd you defend me?" he sat up and looked at her, an almost challenging look on his face as his eyes locked on hers. With the thoughts going through his head, locking eyes with hers was the last thing he wanted to do.
But he really wanted to know. Why had she cared enough to disobey her brother and defend a vampire?
She shrugged "I already told you. He's irrational when it comes to vampires. I just thought that you didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of his anger. plus I hate seeing him that way, He doesn't deserve to be so hell bent on killing vampires like that." he hugged herself and curled up tighter as if getting away from something. She met his gaze with her own stare "why'd you bring me here if you don't bring anyone else?"
He sat up with a smirk, tilting his head to the side, his hair falling over one eye. "I never said I don't bring anyone else here. It is my "cool down" spot after all. That could mean a number of things and that could very well involve someone" he says jumping down to the ground, landing lightly on his feet before taking a step towards her. "what you get from that is however you choose to take it" he shrugged.
Implying a few things. Maybe he could take someone here and kill them, letting off some steam. But his mind quickly wandered to what else it could mean. Hopefully she didn't think he was going to just try and get in her pants. Just realizing that and what it might sound like, he couldn't take it back to due his confidence he had when he spoke. Guess it was up to her to decide what to think.
She arched an eyebrow suspiciously and sat up when he came down from the rafters "And how should I take it? Besides from the obvious making out sessions that I'm sure happened at this fine place." She rested her head on her hand and looked up at him "try anything and you'll be dead in five minutes flat, believe me it's happened before."
“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in a dog” he says rolling his eyes. “And no, it hasn’t happened by the way. At least not with me” he shrugged.
“Anyway, I could have killed plenty of people here is what I’m implying.” Min-Hyuk rolled his eyes and walked around the barn. Pieces of broken glass and wood, hay and dirt mixed in together. He hates how dirty this place was. How come he never cleaned it? That should Be on his to do list. Along with clean his own room…
yeah, he remembered now why he put it off.
“Anyway, you can leave it you want” he says kicking a rock over a clean slate of concrete before turning to her. “I just wanted to talk. And test out if I were being followed. Again, I don’t trust you” he looked around. Man, he really didn’t like the feeling he was getting. He was going off of a hunch And conference, but was something following them?
(So I made Min-Hyuk his own little board, so if you want to check it out here it is: https://pin.it/nLhZlaW)
(Aww I like the board!)
She rolled her own eyes, mimicking him and sat up straight. “If you killed in here I’d be able to smell the blood and death.” She stood as well and pushed herself up into the rafters, balancing on the beams.
“The feeling of trust is mutual, Eddy.” She snapped her head up before shaking of a chill in the air and continuing to walk like a tightrope balancer.
“I highly, highly doubt you brought me here only to talk. You could’ve asked that on the side of the road in town.”
She glanced down at him, eyes turning deep amber in the shadows while her hair remained jet black.
“Would we trust each other more if we weren’t enemies?” She mused, her head slowly tilting before she turned sharply and walked on, hands swinging casually by her side.
A small wind picked up when she looked at him. The barn turning cold (yes, it's the cliche hoodie set up XD) as he adjusted himself, sitting down on the wood. "Maybe… I don't trust really anyone. But yes… To be honest I would trust you more" he looked down at the cold ground, pulling the hoodie sleeves over his pale hands, the tips of his fingers red and his knuckles scraped and red, obviously from punching something. That was how he let out quite a bit of steam. Brick walls hurt like hell and he found those the best to punch when angry. Being naturally stronger, he would end up breaking quite a bit of bricks. There was a small brick shed beside the barn that was now a pile due to years of “letting off steam”
She was witty, more than he would like to admit. And he wouldn't out loud. And never to her. It was a bit attractive with a mix of annoying. He never knew what to think of her.
"what about you? Would you trust me more?" he asked looking up at her, his hand on his cheek squishing it in an oddly cute way
(also thank you! I'm so proud of it! I'm constantly updating it. so every now and then you can go back and there will be more lol)
(Yuuusss I’m always down for a hoodie moment!)
She hopped from beam to beam before jumping down and landing on the dusty ground, a light cloud billowing around her. Her eyes softened slightly from their sharp fixation on his features when he cupped his cheek with his hand, finding it fascinating and adorable how someone so fierce could suddenly be so cute. “No, I don’t think I would.”
She walked over to the main entrance of the barn and sat down at the threshold, back against the wall while her head rested on her knees. “What happened to your hand?” She asked, her voice carrying the airiness if the night.
He noted her words in his mind, not about to forget then any time soon. His luminescent eyes followed her motions before she sat.
Looking down at his hands, pale and red. He never paid much attention to them. He was surprised she was able to see them. But she was a werewolf. Their vision in the night was almost as good as a vampires if not the same.
He nodded towards a wide broken doorway on the other side, a pile of broken bricks you could see on the ground outside. Thin white fog swirled around the barn making it even colder.
"See those bricks? That's what happened." he says leaning back, readjusting his hoodies collar around his neck "I need to find a new brick wall" slight annoyance about it in his voice though stitched with kindness and a calming feeling went with it. "man, are they that noticeable?" he looked back down at his hands before looking back at the girl.
“Brick wall? Oh, I see….there are better ways to cope with you’re anger management.” She commented, not being able to sit still for long, especially with his gaze pinning her to the spot like a spot light.
Standing up and walking over to the wall, she crouched down and picked up a handful of brick dust.
She glanced back at him and nodded “not if you weren’t looking for any sign of injury no. Or if one didn’t know anything about how pale the complexion of a vampire was.”
Shivering slightly from the cold she walked back into the barn and shifted into a wolf to curl up in the middle of the open space
(IDK how he's gonna give his hoodie to a wolf and it still be kind of cute, but it'll be funny? XD)
He glared a bit, rolling his eyes.
"I'm not looking for ways to deal with it. I'm cooling off. There are plenty other ways I could go about my anger. But I like this one." he says, not mentioning his masochism. He's been a masochist for as long as he can remember, burning his hand on his mother's candle wax just to feel the pain. Or purposely slam the door on his hand. He did all of that crazy stuff when he was little. Cutting himself was another issue that he didn't talk about. But it was obvious he had his own issues even before he was a vampire.
Noticing her shiver, he looked around taking in everything. It is pretty cold. He hadn't realized until she took the form of a frikin wolf.
"come over here" he says out of the sweet silence of the barn. He liked the quiet. He could always hear anything coming up to him. It was eerie with her here. Not knowing what she’ll do or what she’ll say. It almost made him nervous. Or that’s what he told himself when his heart started pounding on his chest.
(Hey, the title is bothering me. Do you have any ideas for a legit title?)
She’s picked her head up and flicked her ears in curiosity. She pulled herself up from the ground and slowly made her way over to him, shaking the hay and dust from her fur, creating a small halo of dust in the light of the moon around her. She padded over and cautiously sat down a few feet from him. She’s tilted her head questioningly and sniffed the air around him to try and discern any emotion from him. Oddly enough she didn’t sense any hostility or malice. She inched forward cautiously until she’s was a foot away from him
Lifting his hoodie off, forgetting once again hennas no shirt underneath it since it made him feel claustrophobic with both things on, this revealing his pale skin, the moonlight glimmering off of his muscled body. He set the hoodie on the wolfs head gently. "it would be much more effective if you weren't a wolf, but you do you I guess" he shrugged, leaning back on the beam, his eyes glowing in the moonlight, catching all of the light they can in order to see clearly.
She looked away from the beautiful creature in gifting of her. One thing the books got right, Vampires were dangerously gorgeous. At least the one in front of her did. Her ears flattened when the sweatshirt was placed on her head. She shook it off and sniffed at it. She tilted her head curiously and stuck her head in it, shifting around so her head popped out of the head hole. She maneuvered herself so that her front paws were tucked close to her under the sweatshirt. Her hind legs were tucked close to her body and her tail was swishing in the ground, showing that she was content with the warmth. She glanced up at Min and gave a lazy smile, tongue sting out. She gave a small bark and flipped the hood on her head with a nod of her head
As he watched he titled his head to the side with a smile that grew with every moment. He was surprised by how sue did it, but it was extremely amusing.
At her last small gesture, he couldn't help but smile big and laugh. "you're cute. You know that" he says between laughs. It wasn't meant to be a compliment, more just fact.
He looked away for a second, forcing his smile down with… No luck.
(sorry it's short)
(It’s ok!)
Oh gods above she was so glad that blush wasn’t visible as a wolf. She buried her nose in the sweatshirt And let out a light whine. She glanced up at him to find that he was smiling and let’s out another small bark, nuzzling comfortably into the sweatshirt, loving the warmth and scent from it. Not as metallic smelling as blood. More forest after a hard rain fall smell. She attributed that to the night near the lake.
He ran his hands through his hair, lifting up his arms as his muscles showed more. “I forgot to dry my hair” he says to himself at he ruffled it, trying to dry it but only making it fluffier.
Eyes on her fur for a few seconds, imagining how soft it was. He felt himself wanting to touch it, but thats her body and he wasnt about to harass her like that. He would never touch her without her permission.
Not that he wanted to of course. Well, not like that…or anything (eyeshift eyeshift)
