open to pirate arrrrrrrr [he's probably glaring rn]
Vance hated when Pirate had to work late into the night. He was a little more than spoiled by the other wolf's warmth when he'd crawl into bed at night, and having to go to bed without his mate was disappointing. It wasn't even about sex - it wasn't as if they had sex every single night, it was just about the comfort of having Pirate there.

School had started back up, and Vance was now into his sophomore year. He was about to be sixteen now and it was strange to think that he'd known Pirate for nearly an entire year now. He'd been through a hell of a lot for a boy his age, wolf or not, and sometimes he still had nightmares about being kidnapped and especially about Kenneth. He never let on about them, though, because he felt a little silly. It'd been over six months ago, hadn't it? Sometimes he couldn't remember. Usually when he wokeup from a dream, he just snuggled against Pirate and went back to sleep.

Tonight, though, Pirate wasn't there to snuggle up to and even if he was Vance was in the middle of a dream instead of waking up from it. His entire body was stiff, posture not at all natural for one who was sleeping, and every now and then he'd mutter or whimper about something in his sleep.

Hearing Pirate say those words made Vance feel warm all over, and he smiled a little against the older man's chest before he lifted his head up and leaned in to press a soft kiss against Pirate's mouth.

"I love you too," he said back before he put his head back down with a yawn. "Really?" he asked, "You don't mind me stealing covers or using you as a human pillow?"

	"I'm used to much more unpleasant sleeping conditions at work," he assured Vance. Catching naps in the backs of ambulances made a bed quite a priviledge. Even better to have Vance in it, the smell of him so close. This was a good place and he hoped Vance wasn't faking it just to make him not worry about his nightmares. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I guess you're more of a wolf pillow, huh?" Vance asked after a moment with a sleepy little smile as his fingertips trailed up and down along the side of Pirate's ribs. He was quiet for a moment before he sighed, "I promise I'll wake you next time. If I have a dream like that again and you're here. And if you're not, then I'll tell you about it, okay?"

	That was exactly the sort of thing Pirate wanted to hear. He didn't want Vance keeping those things from him. "Good, because that's what mates do. It means neither one of us ever has to deal with something on our own again." And he was serious about that; they were a pair now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vance smiled sleepily as he went to grab a glass out of the cupboard, and once he'd poured himself some orange juice, he had a seat at the table. "He's exhausted, I won't be surprised if he sleeps until 3," Vance replied before he took a little sip. "I'll probably crawl back in bed with him," he added fondly. "It smells good in here."

	Vance shook his head a little bit and he reached out to lace his fingers up with Pirate's. Vance was sure that he'd never fully understand Pirate and Sterling's interactions, and that was fine. "Just you and me," he said softly with a little smile. If Sterling came out later on, then that was fine, but he appreciated the head start that Louisa had given them.

	Shifting for Vance went surprisingly smooth. He never really fought it, and it was easy for him to just roll with it once he'd gotten the hang out of it. When Pirate came out, Vance was sniffing at the ground, having caught the scent of Shannon. It was always interesting to catch his scent because he was a fox, and the coyotes, too. Haben as well.

	When Pirate barked, Vance barked too and turned his head to nip at the other wolf's ear before he took off into the woods like a dart. He liked the way it felt to have Pirate chase after him. He didn't mind feeling like prey, in fact he really sort of enjoyed it, especially when Pirate was his hunter. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
