The moment he entered the apartment, he smelled delicious food. He walked towards the kitchen and saw Twilight cooking. He didn't say anything and just leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and stared at her. She didn't notice him as her entire focus was on what she was doing. He felt a little attraction toward her. Even though his shirt was too big for her, he liked what he was seeing. Dirty thoughts started crossing his mind and he smirked at all the naughty things he would do to her. But he wouldn't do them, at least not yet. He didn't know how long he'd be able to contain himself around her, there was just something about the innocence she gave off that made him want to destroy it. He wondered how she'd sound if she moaned his name, or even better, called him daddy. He wanted her to deep throat him, writhe under him and be punished in all sorts of ways. He shook those thoughts away because he found it wrong to think of someone, he’d just met, in that way. Not to mention that he didn’t even know her name.
“Looks like you've made yourself comfortable.”
She was about to rip whoever-was-behind-her's throat out until she saw that it was just him.
“Oh uh, I just cooked dinner is all. I mean, it's the least I could do.” She shrugged. “And I don't exactly like owing people, so yeah.”
He came up to her and gave her a gentle head pat. She was a little weirded out considering that she wasn't in her wolf form anymore, but she didn't protest. She liked it, not that she'd admit it.
“By the way, I got you some toiletries, just basic things.” He handed her a plastic bag. “There's a toothbrush, hairbrush and bathing sponge. There's also shower gel and shampoo in there and there are extra towels in the bathroom cupboard that you can use.”
“Uh... thanks, I guess.”
They ate dinner in silence. Afterwards, Twilight insisted on cleaning up. He sat down at the table and waited for her to finish. She joined him when she was done and sat across from him.
“So” She started.
“So?”
“Don't you have anything to say?” She asked, a little surprised.
“Ok fine. Hi, my name's Takumi Rengoku and I'm 16 years old. Nice to meet you.”
She looked at him with a tilted head and raised an eyebrow.
“This is the part where you also introduce yourself.”
She couldn't stop herself from snorting.
“What?”
“I wasn't expecting that response. I'm Twilight Sakata and no, my parents weren't wasted when they named me. They just really loved My Little Pony.” She paused for a moment. “Actually, now that I’ve said that out loud, I think they were.”
He stared at her for a few moments. Now that he had a much better look at her, her hair and eye colour kinda made her look like an ice princess.
“Your hair…”
“Yes, this is my natural hair colour and no, I’m not wearing coloured contact lenses.”
“So will I get an answer if I ask what your ethnicity is?”
“I’m Japanese. Why?”
“No offense but you look a little mixed. Or maybe I just think that because of your hair and eyes.”
“I look like my mom, excluding the hair. I remember asking my dad why I looked different from everyone else and he told me that my mom was half Grecian. After that, I started learning the language. As for my hair, he assumed that one of my ancestors on my mom’s side probably had it too. Besides, I should be asking you.”
“My grandpa is German. My mom didn’t get blonde hair though, just the eyes.”
“Oh.”
“So, you're a dog, huh?”
“Nope, a werewolf. And before you ask, yes, they do exist and so do vampires, witches and other supernatural beings. We're just super low-key about our existence. Also, don’t ever call us dogs because it’s very offensive and I’ll bite your arm off if you do.”
“And you told me because...”
“There's no point in denying it if you saw for yourself. And besides, I've determined that I can trust you.”
“And what if I decided to let the secret out?”
“You wouldn't and even if you did, everyone would think you're an unhinged crackhead.”
“And what if I had evidence?”
“You don't and if you did, I'd give you some time to confess your sins before I send you to hell.”
“How do you know?”
“I can tell that you're lying. Perks of having heightened senses.”
She was calm throughout the entire conversation. He found her very amusing and straightforward, and his interest in her kept growing the more he found out about her.
“So, Rengoku, you don't have to answer or anything, but where are your parents?”
“My parents live in the suburbs, about 2 hours from here. I wanted to go to school in this city, but they couldn't move because of work, they’re both lawyers. Anyway, they agreed to let me stay here alone as long as I don't get into trouble.”
“I see. I thought they were away on business or something. But that didn't add up because there's only one bedroom here. Besides I was more concerned with how we were going to explain everything to them.”
“You don't have to worry about that, they're too busy to come over. I only see them when I go back home when school’s out, so you don't have to worry about them dropping by. They do call sometimes, but that's pretty much it. What about your parents?”
“My dad's the Alpha of our pack and I’m sure you know a thing or two on how wolf packs work. My mom was his Luna, that’s what the Alpha’s mate is called, but she's dead.”
“Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to...”
“No no, it's ok. Really. You were going to find out at some point anyway, so rather sooner than later. This might sound a little weird, but I have a thing against people feeling sorry for me. Don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t have anything to do with my pride or not wanting to look weak. I just don’t like it. I’m not sure how to explain it though.”
“I think I understand. Do you mind telling me how you ended up the way you did?”
“I would very much. It’s not that I don't trust you or anything. It is, but I'd rather not talk about it.”
“I'm not going to stick my nose where it doesn't belong, but if you decide that you want to talk about it, I have two ears that'll be ready to listen. C'mon, it's time for bed.”
Twilight was lying on his bed while he was taking a quick shower and getting changed. She already showered and changed into another one of his shirts. When Takumi entered his room, he didn't expect Twilight to be on his bed.
