So Scary

Color heated Anais's cheeks once more as he moved away from here, and one eye blinked lazily closed in a wink as he turned his face back to her. She was still so innocent and gentle, and he knew that no matter what happened he would never, ever, push his wonderful Anais. If it meant taking a step back in times like these then he would do it, and she surely understood his need to clear his head. He would never forget how she had been in the first few moments they had meet, the timid shy creature curious and uncertain by the giant on the frozen lake. It had been slow work to get her to trust him, but it had been worth every second of wait to have the chance to hold her in his arms and call him hers. It was that very innocence that caught his attention and watching her unfurl from her shell and trust him had been a rewarding moment.

He was brought back to the present with her words, grinning at the almost apologetic way she accepted the credit of their packs entire stash and he chuckled softly. Without her, the pack would probably be half starved by this point. He needed to try again to kick their lazy butts and wake them up, his siblings seemed to be walking around half asleep these days. Perhaps a bit of hunger might have helped to wake them up, but he did not undervalue Anais's hard work. He snorted louder at her next words. “There too busy working on their tans. You should call a hunt, tell them doctor alpha's orders if you want” he grinned “boot them in their lazy butts, and you can blame everything on me” he teased her lovingly, moving closer towards her as he spoke without actually realizing his actions.

An eye would be raised at her next words “I've noticed” he began, his soft tone clearly teasing her before he continued. “Anything interesting going on up there?” he asked, his lip quivering just slightly, it truly seemed he was incapable of keeping serious in Anais's presence. He simply felt utterly and completely at home beside her and she got to see all the humor hiding behind his serious exterior.
