A Life Less Frightning - The Wolf With the Sad Eyes

The sunlight shon through the window of Miles's bedroom hitting him in the face and causing him to stir, yawning the wolf left his bed for the bathroom. Still half awake he stripped of the clothes he had been sleeping in and stepped into the shower, turning it on he yelped as the water hit him.

"Cold"! Miles yelled shivering, now fully awake he adjusted the heat and finished his shower drying himself off to go for a run. Getting himself ready Miles walked over to a set of draws in the living room and pulled out a picture set in a black frame. Miles stared at the picture, in it was a himself although a few years younger and a smaller black black wolf smileing happily. Miles couldn't help but feel upset when he looked at this picture placing a hand over it all he could say was "sorry little brother" sniffing slightly. Miles looked a the picture every morning he knew it wouldn't change anything but always did, it had become almost routine for him. Quietly he placed the picture back in the draw and finished getting ready.

Later Miles set of through the park enjoying the afternoon "I love days like this" Miles said to himself happily. A pair of huskies ran past him "there in better shape then I am if they could keep up the speed they were running at" he thought to himself, suddenly he spoted a black fur who was paying more attention to the huskies then to where he was going just before the black fur ran into him. The fur fell backward and hit the ground with a thud, sprawled out on the floor Miles could tell it was a wolf that ran into him and noticed that he looked exactly like his brother apart from the white tip of his muzzle.

"Are you okay pup"? Miles said as he went to pick up the wolf below him the black wolf seemed disorintated from the fall "are you okay you seem a bit zoned out" and sounded a bit more worried.

After a few more seconds of the wolf staring at him Miles let go "you seem alright, by the way my my names Miles, how about you pup?"

"Hunter" the other wolf replied meekly.

"Well Hunter I'm just about to get something to drink from the cafe, would you like to join me it looks like you need a rest after hitting the ground like that"

The wolf nooded sheepishly and started to follow. Miles couldn't help but think how cute the wolf looked in the baggy close he was wearing and smiled to himself and statrted to wonder why he called him pup "Thats what I called my brother" he mused "sure he looks like him but......" his trail of thought stopped as they reached the cafe.

They took a seat at the cafe on the outside tables as it was a nice day, and Miles decided to get the drinks. As Miles stood at the counter he couldn't stop thinking about Hunter, the feline behind the counter took his order and handed him two cups of tea as he walked back Miles decided to ask Hunter out " the way he was looking at those huskies he must be gay" he thought to himself. It had been a long time since Miles had gone out with someone but decided it was time to take that chance.

"Hope you like tea" he said handing Hunter a cup, the wolf nodded They sat there making idle chit chat about things like the weather and the park they were running in. As they finished thier drinks Miles decided it was time to ask the question, "Hunter would you like to have dinner with me, I think your kinda cute you and seem like a really nice person"

Hunter just blushed and started to stutter "well..ah..I'm...not...well...you....um".

"It's okay if you dont want to" Miles said slightly disapointed.

"Yes I would really like to have dinner with you"

Miles could tell the wolf was blushing "really"? he smiled and could feel his tail wagging, "where would you like to go"?

Hunter shruged.

"well you really dont seem the type to enjoy having to dress up for a high class restraunt" Miles questioned"

Hunter nodded again " I really don't like the pressure of having to constantly be on my best behavior and not being able to act like myself"

"Okay then its decided to avoid any pressure your coming around to mine and I'm going to cook" Miles said suddenly realising that that sounded like it was a lot more pressuring.

"Sure, when"? was the reply.

"How about tonight" Miles said "do you know where Richmond avenue is?"

"Yep its not that far from me" Hunter replied sounding a lot happier than he had been so far.

"Okay the numbers fourteen and be there for eight O'clock" Miles then got up to pay for the drinks he asked at the counter for a pen and wrote his number on a napkin for Hunter. Miles handed the napkin to Hunter "my number, just in case you need to call". They walked together to the park exit and were about to parts ways, Miles suddenly decided to bend down and kiss Hunter on the side of the muzzle before walking away even as he left hw could tell the black wolf was blushing again.

The day went by and after getting cleaned up Miles decided to make a start on dinner. Realising he had forgot to ask what Hunter liked he decided to make a chickin dish hoping Hunter wasnt a vegitarian. The hours passed as Miles started to finish cooking he looked up at the clock on the wall that read seven thirty "Hunter should be here soon" he said to himself happily hearing a knock at the door " that must be him he's early" and with that Miles ran to the door and opened it. "Hi there pup glad your so eager to see me, your early come in" Miles stepped aside to let Hunter in.

"Come into the kitchin dinners ready, it was lucky you got here early didn't take as long as I thought to cook" when Hunter enterd Miles offerd him a seat and went to serve the food.

"Wow, you cooked all this yourself" Hunter said amazed.

"Yep living by your self quikly teaches you" Miles grinned.

"You would think so" Hunter said sarcasticaly.

"Not so good with food then I take it" he said still grinning.

"Well I can cook in theory and I do have an oven at least thats what I think it is, I do know my way around a microwave and frozen dinners though".

Miles looked at Hunter "im surpriesd you have stayed so thin then".

Hunter started to blush again, Miles just couldn't believe how cute Hunter was when he blushed and just kept smileing as they ate. During the meal they started to get to know each other and started asking questions such as where they grew up and hobbies. After dinner Miles decided to watch a film with Hunter, who chose an eighties zombie film and eventualy ended hugging on the couch together. At the end of the film Miles notice Hunters eyes, as he stared into them he couldnt belive how sad they looked, like the life had just left them.

"Hunter your eyes they look...... so sad, whats wrong?"

"They have always been that way since......" Hunters voice trailed off.

He could see that whatever happend still really upset Hunter "it's okay you don't have to tell me"

"No its just...." Hunter started to tell Miles about his father and how he lost the life from his blue eyes. During this Hunter broke down crying, all Miles could do was hold him close Miles knew what it was like to lose someone but couldn't begin to think what Hunter was going through.

After a while Hunter fell asleep exhasted Miles looked down at the black wolf with the sad eyes curled up in his arms and picked him up and carried him to the bedroom.

Shortly after Miles came back out and settled down for a night on the couch, he was still really surprised that Hunter trusted him enough to tell him what he did. "Not sure what was going to happen this evening" he thought but felt happy that he may have found someone he might be able to have a relationship with and realised that he genuinly cared for Hunter and just wanted to keep him safe. Miles also couldn't get over how simmiler he was to his little brother, with all this running through his mind he slowly drited to sleep.
