So maybe she should have called or messaged a certain particular boil about arriving back at Amityville finally. Or at least forewarned him she was coming back after visiting her family. Which was always quite the adventure in itself. But it beat running the risk of something....happening at school.
Like dying.
Again.
Or fighting Hunters.
Again.
LW huffed, brushing some loose strands of hair out of her face as she padded down the halls of the Monster Dorms. She'd popped her head into her own room just to make sure her minipets hadn't destroyed it, and went straight towards the stairs to go up one floor. To her boilfriend's room. Because jackdamnit, she missed Ren. And wanted to see him.
Really, she didn't care if he was in his room or not. He would be at some point. So she was perfectly fine with entering an empty room. She would just curl up on his bed with his minipets until he returned. Though LW was really hoping he'd be there when she slipped inside.
"...Ren?" She called curiously, modeling quite the outfit this day (a gift from her brothers....again).

He was back.
He was back, and he was exhausted, and he really definitely needed a shower.
Fortunately for Ren, his room was just how he'd left it - slightly cluttered, Rhys tearing a hole in one of his favorite shirts, and the dozens of foxfires all clustered together in front of his closet door in one giant, poofy pile of fluff that Jove would appreciate - and after checking to make sure Rhys and his kids hadn't done too much damage, he made his way to the bathroom and immersed himself in the water. Baths he couldn't quite handle anymore - in fact, any body of water was an unpleasant reminder - but showers...
They were a beautiful invention.
Twenty minutes later he came out dressed in a pair of shorts and nothing else, idly rubbing at his short, damp hair with a towel. A hand on his hip, he surveyed the room and tried to figure out why it felt as though it were missing something important.
"...Ren?"
Well, that answers that question.
"Darling!" he said delightedly, and dropped the towel, slipping across the room to throw his arms around his ghoulfriend's waist and press a happy, relieved kiss to her lips, lifting her up off of the ground in the process.
"I've missed you," said Ren, once he had put her back down, a tired grin on his face. His eyes flickered down to her...outfit...and he arched a brow, tilting his head a little.
"Lemme guess: your brothers?"

It felt like an odd weight had been lifted from her when she heard Ren's voice. LW's face lit up like the sun when she looked at him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders when his lips were pressed to hers. The she-wolf inhaled deeply, letting Ren's scent surround her like a warm blanket.
"I missed you too." She murmured, letting her hands trail along his face. He looked tired. What all had he been doing while she was away? Maybe she shouldn't have left him...
LW blinked down at her outfit and giggled. "Yep! They felt like making sure you knew exactly what you were getting into." She teased, leaning in to brush her cheek against his. "And they demand to see you themselves. Make sure you really are good enough and all that." She added before giggling again. "However....if I happened to have left some clothes here..." But first things first.
The she-wolf traced his jaw line with her fingers, letting them slide down his neck until her hands were splayed against his chest. She frowned up at her boilfriend, head tilted slightly like his had been. "Are you alright, kitten?"

Seeing LW after so long was like getting a breath of fresh air after living in the sewers, and Ren happily wrapped his arms around her waist and kept her held against him, nuzzling his face into her hair and letting his wings fold around them like a cocoon.
"Let's not do this whole separation thing," he said decidedly, and poked her nose playfully. "I've decided I don't like not seeing you for long periods of time, so really we need to stop this from happening okay?"
Eyes flickering up and down the dress, Ren couldn't help the smirk that crossed his lips. "It's, ah...interesting," he said, and let his hand trail down her back, fingers plucking at the strings cris-crossed back and forth over her shoulder blades. "Yes. Very interesting."
Laughing, he stepped away, and pulled her further into the room, motioning towards the bed as he looked for the towel he had just dropped. Once he found it, he straightened, rubbing at his hair again as he gave LW a slightly surprised look. But then his expression relaxed a little, and Ren gave the shewolf a somewhat dry smile.
"Just the usual," he said wryly. "Death, destruction, kidnappings...you know, just everyday life here at good ole' Amityville High.

LW nipped at his nose before resting her forehead against his shoulder. "I agree..." She said with that special smile, looking up at him. "I don't like that....empty feeling." The she-wolf kissed him again, soaking up everything that was Ren.
Her violet eyes followed after his, traveling down her own body. "Interesting, hmm?" LW grinned slyly. "So...should I send my brothers a thank you letter?" She made sure to shift her shoulders and roll the strings along her back across his fingers. Terrible, the werewolf was terrible. And laughed as he stepped away, following after with a bounce in her step. And maybe a sway in her hips.
She wrinkled her nose at him. "So I didn't miss anything. Except you." LW winked at her boilfriend, tail swishing playfully. "What ever did you do to entertain yourself without me?" She asked out loud, a small pout forming on her lips. Which was quite at odds with the sexy outfit she wore. That she was not playing nice with. In fact she seemed to enjoy moving around and seeing what all she could get away with.
"Wait! Let me guess." LW gave him a sweet and innocent look. "You and Tybalt had best buddy time, right?"

"Yes, it's terrible," agreed Ren, as he dug around in his dresser for a clean shirt and one that had preferably not been used as a bed or a chew toy for Rhys while he had been away. "I think we should just stick together for the rest of forever and that's that."
"And yes, thank your brothers for me."
After a few moments of digging, he managed to find a short sleeved black shirt, which Ren pulled over his head, tugging it down around his hips. It always took a bit of working to get things that fit with his wings, but once he managed to figure it out he padded into the adjoined bathroom, tail flicking behind him. A second later, the sound of running water could be heard.
"I did a lot of running," he said in a slightly muffled voice, toothbrush in his mouth, Ren leaning back to peer at LW through the doorway. There were dark circles beneath his eyes, tired lines on his face, and he gave her a small smile. "And a lot of trying not to die."
Spitting out the water in his mouth, he finished brushing his teeth and leaned against the doorway, arms folded across his chest. "Yes, that's exactly it," he deadpanned. "Tybalt and I had a smashing time together while you were away, gallivanting with your brothers, we really got very close and all."
Well, it was actually half true. And then not. Ren lifted a hand, pushing aside his still-wet curls and was silent for a moment.
"Mei got kidnapped," he said finally."By the hunters. Don't worry," he added, before she could panic. "We got her back, along with Amrita, Amphi, and a few others that were taken. But there was one...Israfel..."
Anger flashed through him again, hot and sharp, and Ren grit his teeth together before continuing, tail lashing around his legs. "We were too late to save Israfel."

Aha! She found her favorite lepus and made sure to give him the attention he deserved while Ren went about the process of finishing getting dressed. "I like the sound of that. Like it very much." LW said with a mix of play and honest feeling. She leaned forward to rub her nose against Rhys before straightening and throwing a devious grin Ren's way.
"Oh I will, kitten. Expect to receive a letter from them soon."
She snorted, rolling her eyes. Running? Ha! Definitely not the kind of running she liked to do in the mornings. She reached down to pull at the hem of her dress, readjusting it before looking over towards the bathroom. "Better not have died." LW muttered, something flashing in her gaze before disappearing.
The she-wolf matched his stance, arms crossed along her stomach as she met Ren's eyes. Her eyebrows rose slowly, disbelief in her features as she tried not to let her lips curl up into a smile. Which became easier after hearing that Mei had been kidnapped. LW felt her entire body freeze, including her tail. Her teeth gritted together as a look of pure hate flashed through her eyes and she exhaled slowly as Ren reassured her that they had gotten her back along with the others.
Except Israfel. Israfel... He was such a sweetie. Why did he....why...
Too late? Something entirely different filled her and it almost felt like she couldn't breathe.
What if it had been Ren? What if...he'd been taken and....they hadn't made it in time to save him? LW felt her nails dig into her arms. I wouldn't have been here to help him! She could have come back to no Ren.
The she-wolf felt light headed, finally becoming mobile again as she stumbled. She needed to sit. Needed to get control of her thoughts. But it could have been him! OhJack....she couldn't lose Ren. Ever.

He could see the shock in her eyes which turned rapidly to horror, and hated himself for being the one to break it to her. Silently he uncrossed his arms and pushed away from the wall, stepping over towards LW and gently gathering her in his arms, pulling her against his chest. He held her shaking body not with a great deal of strength, but tenderly, stroking her hair and smoothing it away from her face.
"Yeah, I know," said Ren quietly, and leaned his cheek against the top of her head, fingers sifting through the vibrantly red strands. He rocked her gently from side to side, rubbing her back in soothing motions with his other hand. "He was a good kid, from what I hear. I didn't know him too well, but from what I did know, well..."
The anger rose again, but Ren forced it down, away, pushing it to the bottom of his thoughts. He hated the hunters, hated them with almost as much passion as his own parents, but now was not the time.
"Shh..." he murmured, and tightened his arms a little, ducking his head to press a kiss to LW's forehead, letting his lips linger there for a moment longer before resuming his ministrations. "And I'm all right. Mei's all right. Shaken, and angry, a little bruised. But she's fine. Tybalt's okay, the damned mutt, and Jove's been sick in his room this entire time, so he's safe. Everyone's okay."
For now, his brain whispered, but it was another thought Ren pushed aside. He leaned back from LW and took her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing against her cheeks.
"I'm fine, all right? I'm still here, I'm not going anywhere, believe me. They'd have to take me kicking and screaming, and even then they still wouldn't get me. Not as long as I have things to come back to."

Too late. Too late. She could have lost Ren-
They had kidnapped Mei. But she was safe.
Hunters.
She felt Ren's arms surround her. Felt his warm chest and his soothing voice. LW pressed into him, burying her face into the crook of his neck. Her eyes closed and she inhaled his scent, letting it calm her. She didn't realize her head was shaking in disbelief until she felt his fingers brushing through her hair. Shivering, she curled her fingers into his shirt, biting at her lip to try and keep the water from leaking from her eyes.
Israfel. I'm so sorry.
"He...he was...he really was." She murmured in a voice that was tinged with grief and fear. "I c-can't...believe...." LW couldn't finish, just letting her shoulders slump and leaning into Ren's embrace.
An embrace she could have never felt again.
A strangled noise tried to force it's way out of her throat. Mei was safe. Tybalt was safe. Ren...
LW opened her eyes and looked up at her boilfriend. Her best friend. Her...everything. She felt a tear slide down her cheek to be brushed away by his gentle fingers. "I don't....ever want to lose you, Ren." LW got out in a raspy voice, fingers curling around the hands against her face. They can try, she thought. But they'd learn just how dangerous a female werewolf could be to protect her love.
Rising up, LW pressed her lips against Ren's, but didn't kiss him. Not yet. She inhaled deeply, eyes closing. When she did kiss him, it was sweet and full of love.
"Let's go out." She said softly. "Go out and do something. Forget about everything that happened for a few hours. And celebrate being back with one another again."

"LW, baby," said Ren, and smiled gently, still rubbing her face in small, soothing gestures with his thumbs. "Don't be so panicked okay? We're all still here, we're all still fighting. I know we lost one along the way, and I know how much it sucks just as much as the rest of us, but for right now I'm still here and so are you. Don't jump to conclusions - I'm fine, and I will always come home to you. I promise."
He wasn't sure how long he could keep that promise, but it was a promise nonetheless. LW's lips pressed against his, and Ren slid his arms around her, holding her against him as he returned the kiss. One hand pressed against her back gently, while his other arm wrapped around her waist, Ren inhaling her scent, her breath, everything about her.
"I love you," he murmured against her mouth, and smiled, kissing her one last time before he leaned back, resting his head against the wall of his room. He linked his fingers together against the small of her back and slanted a gaze at his ghoulfriend, arching one brow.
"Sounds like a plan to me," said Ren, and curled his tail around her ankle affectionately. "I'd love a distraction. Where should we go, beautiful?"

She felt a small shudder roll down her spine, eyes closing as she focused on the ministrations from Ren's thumbs. The she-wolf nodded against his hands, trying to shove the panic back down. "I-I'll...try. I promise." She whispered, leaning forward to feel the warmth of his body. LW looked up at him, something inside her twisting at hearing such a promise. She stared at him a long moment before whispering, "I'll always be waiting here for you."
LW let her hands move to wrap around his back, fingers burying themselves among the feathers of his wings. She pulled herself closer, reveling in the safety her boilfriend gave her. The she-wolf loved him with everything that she had, and never wanted to lose him.
"I love you too." She whispered, letting his scent and taste linger a little longer before she pulled back enough to look up at him. Her hands rested against his chest, the fingers of one hand lightly tracing small circles around his freckles. LW tilted her head slightly, lips pressing together in thought. "Well...." Her eyes brightened again. "Didn't you promise me.....we could go dancing?" Dancing with her boilfriend. That sounded wonderful to her at that moment. Like they'd done that one moonlit night a while ago.
"Unless...you can think of somewhere else we can go?"

He rubbed her back reassuringly and smiled, leaning forward to kiss her forehead affectionately before he let his hands slid down to grasp both of her hands, holding them tightly.
"Dancing?" repeated Ren, and arched a brow, cocking his head to the side. "It's been a while since we've done that, haven't we?" A grin spread across his face. "We could go to a club or something. Didn't you say you always wanted to go to a club, or at least somewhere that has dancing?"
He kissed her fingers and then let go, stepping around her to look for a proper shirt and one that wasn't a pajama one like the one he was currently wearing. After digging around in his dresser drawer, he pulled out one that Rhys wasn't laying on and tugged it over his head after tugging the other one off.
"So," he said, and rested his hands on his hips, wings settling against his back comfortably.
"Where are we going?"

She sighed softly, letting her shoulders droop and finally relaxed into his arms. The feel of his fingers curling through her own chased away the last of the uncomfortable thoughts and tightening of her chest. And the smile that slowly curled around her lips was purely LW.
"Yes. Dancing." Her tail swished excitedly, head cocked to give Ren the 'puppy dog' look. "It really has been too long, kitten." LW teased, face all but lighting up like the sun at mention of a club. "I may have." She agreed, a matching grin to his own beaming across her face.
The she-wolf watched him move towards his dresser, clasping her hands behind her back gently and simply admiring her boilfriend. Her mind, on the other hand, was too busy squeeing at the thought of dancing with Ren. Really dancing. Not the lovely dancing they did at school dances - which she absolutely adored. But the kind they could just be themselves and lose themselves to the music.
LW smiled, giving Ren a shy - and completely devious - look. He was so handsome. And hers. And dancing!
She stepped lightly, moving to stand just in front of him and trail her fingers along his chin playfully. "A place we can just be ourselves." LW murmured, and slipped away to sway her tail - and hips - obnoxiously, reaching for the door. "Preferably off campus...." She added.

Once he was dressed properly to go out, in a pair of dark slacks and a fitted, long-sleeved black shirt with a row of buttons on the sleeves, he turned to look at LW, smiling brightly.
"Lead the way, darling," he said jovially. "I'm afraid I'm definitely a bit less knowledgeable about dancing places than you are."

Oh she was quite knowledgeable about the best places to go dancing where. Some she had been to before. Others she'd only heard about and wanted to dearly go check out. In fact it was one of those 'really want to go see' places that LW decided they were going to. One that her brother had told her about (which was never a good thing~). She led them out of the dorms and Amityville all together, towards the town. The walk was nice, the scents of the town oddly refreshing. Maybe they needed to get out of Amityville more often?
LW linked her arm through Ren's, pointing towards a dark looming building with neon lights flashing at odd intervals through the windows. The faint sound of a deep base could be heard yet everything outside was mellow enough. Of course, the club itself was down in the ground. Aptly named 'The Crypt'. And the scents....! So many different scents and all the different people trickling towards the entrance wearing all sorts of clothing.
"What do you think....?" She asked, looking up at her boilfriend childishly. "Will this do?"
