Nev & Indu

He could feel his head spinning as he held his breath, staring quietly at the bedroom door. Asherah had kicked the canine's a** into coming down and seeing Neveah, and he was a little worried about the reaction the butterfly might give when he saw the other male.
The wolf creaked the door open after a moment more of hesitation, icy eyes examining the room quietly.

Right at that moment, Neveah was in his bathroom waiting for the water to get warm before he stepped into the shower. As a result, he didn't hear Indu enter his room..
Lady_Asherah
The wolf sighed in deeply at the sound of the shower running. He stepped quietly into the bathroom, figuring that jumping in might not have the best affect. He filled a cup full of cold water, and threw it over the top of the shower, waiting for the response Neveah might give to the sudden cold sensation.
Elros Namasi
"What the hell?!" Nev shrieked, pressing himself to the wall under the showerhead thinking it had been his shower that had suddenly turned cold. When he tested the water a few moments later, he found it to be just as warm as it had been when he first stepped in. Blinking, he shut the water off then pulled the shower curtain aside some and reached blindly for a towel. On its way, his hand came into contact with..something. Even more confused, the butterfly boy felt his way up what felt like a chest to someone's neck and then to that same person's face. He withdrew his hand slowly and then asked lightly, "Umm, who are you? And what are you doing in my bathroom?" Nev paused for a second then continued, "And could you me a favor and hand me a towel? They're right behind you."
Lady_Asherah
He cackled. "You could get it yourself you know... I wouldn't mind..." he whispered, passing a towel to the other male tiredly. "Here, here... get yourself decent." the wolf's tail curled slightly as he waited to see whether or not his voice was recognizable to the butterfly hybrid.
Elros Namasi
Nev knew who it was even before the wolf spoke. No one cackled quite like Indu. Stunned, Neveah took the towel and wrapped it around his waist then pulled aside the curtain and stepped out onto the towel he had laid on the floor, letting his wings drip dry. The butterfly boy looked a little worse for wear but Elros hadn't allowed him to sink into depression so he wasn't as gaunt as he would have been had she not intervened. "I thought you left," he said quietly, then slipped by Indu and went in search of clothing.
Lady_Asherah
He leaned against the threshold of the door hesitantly. "Is that so...?" the wolf questioned, raising a well-formed eyebrow. "Well... you were accurate. But I found a little friend that I had to bring back here... so, I returned."
Nzame was an important character to Indu... the little hyena had been much to similar to him for comfort... and the wolf couldn't take leaving the kid out on the streets because he was selfish. "I'm here for that person I found right now, Nev..." he whispered quietly through even lips. "He's little and he needs someone..."

"So why are you telling me this?" Neveah asked dully, trading the towel for a pair of flannel pajama bottoms. He was so caught up in shock and his own personal torment that he wasn't really following what Indu was saying. Nev hadn't thought it was possible to hurt this much. Sure, it had cut deep when the wolf had walked away but it hurt so much more to see him now and know that he was probably going to take off again at the first opportunity.
Lady_Asherah
"To tell you the truth... I'm really not sure." he replied, closing his eyes as his tail shifted behind him in discomfort. "... Look, Nev..." the canine sighed in deeply. "I'm not trying to make you unhappy... even if it seems like I am." an ear tweaked quietly on his head. "I have to admit, on a normal basis... I'm not the type to care... but..." he was out of words... and out of breath.
Maybe he should quit smoking...? God knew...
The wolf stared with icy eyes at Neveah... though they weren't cold like they normally tended to be... rather, they were a bit softened. "I sometimes regret ever entering this shop in the first place..." he announced quietly, crossing his arms over his chest. The wolf cackled. "Sometimes I just make other's life's too... difficult." the last word came out a little later than it should have as Indu pictured Kiviance in his head, ears going flat.

Nev finally turned to Indu and watched him, taking note of the wolf's flattened ears but choosing not to comment. "My life wasn't difficult until you walked out of it," he said softly, his eyes sparkling with unshed tears. "But you don't care, do you? You never did. I was a temporary distraction, someone you could amuse yourself with." His voice got quieter and quieter as he spoke until it was no more than a whisper. "But you know something? I didn't mind. I enjoyed having you around." The butterfly paused to sniffle and, without warning, the floodgates opened and silvery tears slid down his cheeks. "Why are you here, Indu? What do you want?"
Lady_Asherah
"Well... I'd like for you not to cry." he replied, an ear tweaking slightly. The wolf sighed in quietly. "I do make it hard for people, huh...?" he grinned, obviously hiding a small bit of different emotion under the smile. "Whether I'm there or I leave, I suppose." the canine shrugged his shoulders.
Would it have been better if he was non-existant...? Easier for the other's around him...? That case certainly applied in this situation, and it also applied in the small dilema with Kiviance... but, what about with the new little hyena boy? Indumauli sighed.
"I'm here 'cause I have this feeling that I want you to be a bit happier Nev. I obviously have to let you go... being with you is not, and frankly should not, be my decision. Guess I wanted to talk to you personally." he turned his attention on the door. "But if I'm making you cry... I should probably go, huh...?"

Before Indu could make a move to leave, Nev walked over and slipped his arms around the wolf's waist, holding onto him for a second. Then he took a step back and looked down at his feet, embarrassed. "I'm sorry," he said softly, eyes still a little moist and the occasional tear welling up and sliding down his smooth cheeks. "Please don't go yet. I'll try to stop crying, I swear.."
Lady_Asherah
The wolf looked as though he didn't understand why the other male insisted he stay. Wasn't him standing here the exact thing that made the butterfly cry...? Nonetheless, he listened to Neveah's request, and kept his feet put.
Indu's ears flicked every now and then, his mouth closed shut... as though it was out of words to vocalize. He sighed in quietly... not completely sure as to what he should say.

As if he knew what Indu was thinking, Nev sighed and started to explain. "I'm sorry. I missed you and when you showed up here, in my bathroom of all places.. I dunno, I just lost it. It's good to see you again..but, at the same time, I know you're gonna leave again and I got depressed.." The butterfly paused and swallowed. "Umm.. so how long are you planning on staying?" he asked awkwardly, leaning against a wall and crossing his arms over his chest.
Lady_Asherah
The room was eerily quiet. Indumauli's ear twitched quietly at the question before he sighed rather loudly. The sound cut through the room like a dagger as Indumauli shrugged his shoulders. "I'll stay awhile." he replied. "I'm not just going to leave that little hyena boy here with weird hybrids if that's what you're thinking. If I did manage to find myself leaving again... I may bring him with me, but it's highly unlikely."
He was going to be around for a bit...

"I didn't think you would. Just up and abandon the kid, I mean," Nev said lightly, dropping his arms and fidgeting with the waistband of his pajama bottoms. "I was just wondering because I wanted to ask if..if you and I could be friends..while you're around," he trailed off lamely, feeling really stupid. Two minutes ago he was in tears and now he was trying to get the wolf to spend time with him. Good gods he was pathetic. Indu probably thought he was nuts..
Lady_Asherah
His eyes shifted slightly at the butterfly's idea. After a small moment, the wolf-like hybrid grinned. He stepped over to the male, patting his head gently. "... Sure, Nev." the canine sighed. "I couldn't see why not..." his eyes looked tired as he ran a clawed finger gently through his own white and golden hair.
His tail flicked silently behind him, and the wolf male's expression changed slightly from a tired grin to a softer feature. "I figured you wouldn't want to talk to me anymore after everything that's gone on." he growled it delicately to himself and spoke it as politely as he could to the other hybrid.
