Love between wolf and bird can usually turn sour, this couple is trying to push through that statement.

A story that brings loneliness, hopelessness, anxiety, and jealousy to light. This is the story of a rekindled relationship with a newly lit spark. After completing college in a different country the bird hopes to make up for his time away from his lovely wolf.


A refrigerator hummed in the distance, the mechanical noise piercing the air, it grew louder as the wolf lumbered towards it, he cleared his throat and opened up a pantry door to find a cup. The groggy wolf took the cup in a paw and moved it to the fridge door, he pressed the mouth's edge of the cup to a jutting piece of sturdy plastic and pressed inwards. With a resounding "click!" the plastic trigger gave way to the advancing cup. A stream of water flowed down and out of the spout just above the cup and plastic trigger. Loud sounds of water on plastic were made as the liquid battered against the bottom of the cup, though soon after, they dispersed into the more pleasing sound of water against water. Once the cup was filled to the wolf's liking he pulled the cup away from the trigger. "Click!" The water stopped flowing and the mechanical humming again sounded, begging to be heard, crying out for attention annoyingly. The wolf stepped over to a nearby window to look down towards the street.

His apartment wasn't very tall but it was tall enough to look outside and see the tops of streetlights. He moved the cup to his muzzle, holding the plastic container between both of his paws, his canine tongue made its way out of his maw towards the water. His tongue worked like a straw, delving into the cool liquid and then curving slightly before returning to the interior of his muzzle, using his tongue much like a fleshy spoon to lap up the water. He was careful not to let the water spill over the edge of the cup or to sloppily wet his fur.

He set the cup down on the window ledge and stretched while yawning, taking a hearty breath of the damp, yet crisp, morning air. It was foggy but the wolf could see beams of light from cars as they drove along the road. Sounds of rubber against pavement found their way through the fog and echoed against the few other apartments that surrounded his. He smiled as his senses were enamoured with the sound, sights, and taste of the air. "Almost perfect.." he spoke softly. The wolf looked to the right of him, focusing in on a framed picture that stood proud on a desk that shared his computer. He gently, but securely, moved a paw to the frame, allowing him to survey the couple in the picture. The wolf sighed happily and two symmetrical patches of fur on his cheeks garnished themselves a slight pink. He kissed the picture, pressing his snout gently to the beak of a beautifully colored bird. "I miss you, Garret." he said to himself, moving the photo to his chest where he hugged it close and sighed happily once more.

Please show support so I have the motivation to write Chapter 1: An Avian's Arrival.
