open to Varick
After Pirate had patched he and Varick up, Kingston had packed them upstairs in their bedroom and set to work with getting rid of Kenneth's body. He was going to bury it with Pirate's help, and while Vance wanted to go, someone had to stay behind just to keep an eye on the two injured ones upstairs.

The house was quiet and it was dark when Shannon came around. He was in a pair of pajama bottoms, and nothing else. His arm, though it was on it's way to healing, was aching somethng awful and he curled up even closer to Varick as a quiet noise of discomfort escaped him. It felt like it was snowing outside, and when he lifted his head up to look towards the window he wasn't surprised to see flakes falling. He settled his head back down and pressed in close to the wolf beside him as a quiet yawn escaped his lips.

Eventually he drifted off back to sleep, and Kingston came inside from burying Kenneth in the woods. He went over to check on the two sleeping in the bed, and he couldn't help but press a cold hand against Varick's shoulder just to get a feel for how Varick was doing.

Varick hadn't slept any, but when Shannon woke up, he was quiet. Deep in thought, he laid there and stared at the wall across from them. His body was throbbing and he could hardly move so it wasn't exactly difficult to lie motionless. Kenneth was dead and all Varick could think of was if he could have killed him sooner maybe Cameron would be alive. No, he finally decided, joseph wouldn't have stopped without Kenneth backing him up.

When Kingston touched his shoulder he knew the wolf well enough to know what was on his mind. "I'm okay," he said though his voice sounded hollow. Perhaps the largest thing keeping Varick from the alpha personality was his lack of ability for killing. Even Kenneth, even knowing the things he'd done.

Kingston sat down on the edge of the bed, and he let his hand gently slide down the side of Varick's uninjured shoulder. No matter how strong Varick was acting, Kingston could feel that little bit of despair seeping through and it worried him.

"You did what you had to do," he said very quietly. "And not only are you alive because of it, Shannon is too. Cameron would be very proud. Protecting Shannon is what he asked you to do, isn't it?"

	"Maybe," Kingston answered as he smoothed a hand down along Varick's arm as he turned his attention to Shannon. "There's a fox there, he's not really with their pack, I don't think. But I've been spending time with him. I brought him by here, you were busy but I think he went on a run with Shannon." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure they are." He had no doubt in Kingston's judgment of people. "I'm just worried--scared--" he shook his head, disliking that that was true. He was scared that living with another pack would bring the type of wolf back into their lives that might hurt them again. He didn't have it in him to deal with another betrayal. "What's this other fox like?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"His name is Cady," Kingston replied, knowing fully well just what Varick was worried about. He had full confidence that when the wolf met Hunter, all of his worries would be quelled, though. "He's quiet, sweet. A little shy. I think he's the one for me," he added honestly before he paused. "No, I know he is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Varick was surprised that he hadn't caught that before Kingston had admitted it. His mind was stretched pretty thin at the moment though. "Cady," he repeated thoughtfully. "A fox." That amused him and very briefly he smiled. "Well then that's where you belong and we belong with you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shannon stirred a little bit, and he let out a quiet sigh against the side of Varick's neck. Kingston smoothed a hand over the fox's hair before he gave Varick a gently pat on his good shoulder. "I'll leave you two alone now," he said softly, "I think we're waking him up." "You are," Shannon murmured. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry," Shannon whispered softly with a sleepy smile. He let an arm drift around Varick's waist when the wolf faced him, and a quiet sigh escaped him. At Varick's next words, he lowered his gaze a little and shook his head some. "I sort of panicked and led him right to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Apparently neither am I," Shannon replied as he reached up to gently brush his thumb against Varick's lower lip. "I didn't even know he was in the house until he had a hold of me." He should have been paying more attention, but at least they were safe now. "How are you feeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Not really, no," Shannon said quietly as he stretched his legs some so that he could wiggle his toes. He winced faintly, his body achey, though his arm hurt the most out of everything. It was bandaged up nicely thanks to Pirate, and though it was on it's way to healing, it throbbed something awful. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shannon didn't quite follow, and he furrowed his brow a little bit as he dipped his head forward to press his face against Varick's chest. "He's kind of quiet, I think he's so use to having nobody. He lost his parents and Aubrey is a little rough around the edges, from what I understand. But he seems sweet, kind of shy. He needs stability, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Aubrey?" he tipped his head, leaning up onto his elbow so he could look down at Shannon. "Is he at Wolf Haven too?" He knew that Aubrey was a fox, had taken note of his successful artwork, but he didn't realize that the man ever went to Coldwater Flats. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Varick reached over and tugged Shannon close, rolling onto his back so that Shannon rolled on top of him. The slight weight was pleasant and Varick shut his eyes. "You can be my blanket," he said with contentment. Talking about the future was calming to him. He liked planning and organizing, especially when the present felt so very uncertain.

	Shannon was careful not to jar his arm nor Varick's shoulder as he settled on top of the wolf. He smiled and pressed a kiss to the curve of Varick's shoulder with a smile. He wiggled his legs and let out a contented smile, enjoying the warmth that was seeping into his bones from Varick's body. "I think you're keeping me warm, still," he whispered.

	Shannon tipped his face downwards so that he could press a kiss against Varick's collarbone as he laid on top of him. It never ceased to amaze him just how comfortable the other man could be, no matter what, as if he'd been made just for loungin on or with. "That'd be nice," he murmured quietly against the wolf's skin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I think maybe I can sleep now, but don't tell Pirate," he said dozily. Varick hadn't known him for very long, but he could immediately tell that Pirate was not the sort of man he wanted to tangle with if he could help it. Shannon fit on top of him perfectly, and he carded his hand through the young man's hair. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Shannon smiled softly and he lifted his head up so that he could press a soft kiss to Varick's mouth. "I won't tell," he promised, as if he really had to say so outloud, and he settled his head back down. "Go ahead and sleep, I'll just listen to your heart beat." At least for a while, to make sure that Varick was all right. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Even though Shannon was much smaller, Varick felt very protected by him in that moment and it was a nice feeling. Sometimes it wasn't about feeling perfectly safe, but about feeling as if someone would fight for you no matter what. Varick knew he had that with Shannon and he smiled as he closed his eyes.
