Chasing the Sun - Chapter 37: Fragile Trust
Some days, work was just stressful, Tom thought to himself. Unlocking the door to his flat, the wolf gave a relieved sigh as he went inside. He wasn't sure if he was in the mood to cook dinner, so thankfully there was still chicken pepper soup from...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 36: Soft Autumn Breeze
"Isn't this, like, the fourth time it rains since midday?" Octo took a sip of his hot chocolate, looking up when the dog exited the minimarket. Max smiled at him, a cup of hot coffee in his hand. Now that the rain ended, they could finally go outside....
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 41: One More Night
The night felt cold, even more so than usual. Kevin stared at the ceilings, at that hole he always promised to fix when he had the money. It was late in the night; the clock showed that it was 23.45. No matter how much he shifted around on the bed, he...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 40: Overflowing
Signore Octo looked like he was very close to grabbing a gun and shooting someone right now. Richard cowered under his gaze. He was actually looking forward to meeting the panther, feeling proud that he had found such an important lead to Red Wolf....
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 39: Falling Pillar
Richard sipped the drink in front of him. He felt dumb and played with. Whoever this Red Wolf was, he was really a pain in the arse. They had looked everywhere they could. City database, direct observation, police help, yet this Red Wolf was nowhere to...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 38: Gentle Knocks
Kevin rested his hands on his waist. As he leant on the bar beside Jeremy, he gazed over the dance floor. The bear said it was very crowded during the summer holiday but now it was back to normal, even at this time of the day. While it was still as...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 34: Iridescent Warmth
Tom stared at his reflection in the mirror. It looked tired, stressed, even depressed. The reflection's shoulders sagged as if it were carrying a burden too heavy for it. The eyes looked tired as if the person had already given up. He wanted to say...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 32: Gym in Winter
Kevin opened the gym door and tightened his hold on his bag. It was pretty deserted today. The temperature inside was pleasantly warm, a nice contrast from the outside. He walked inside with an easy grin. A rhino looked at him coming inside. The wolf...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 31: Not a Graduation Party
All things considered, this wasn't really a graduation party. Martin drank his juice and looked over the living room. Andy's house was even more crowded tonight. He was throwing a party celebrating their graduation, but not his own. All the attendees...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 40: Home Sweet Home, Part 2
There was a soft knock at the door. Tom looked up from his laptop, wondering who'd come at this time in the night. It was still a bit past 20, but tomorrow was Monday. _"Wonder who's that."_ _"Open the door."_ Lain replied. There was another knock....
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 39: The Touch You Missed
"What's with you?" That question hit him like a truck even though John asked it gently. They were having a coffee at a café near Tom's place. The place had a pleasant air, gentle and calming, but it had no effect on him. The cup of coffee innocently...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 38: Home Sweet Home, Part 1
Tom put the last piece of lemper on the plate. That was all, the snacks were ready for tonight, well, extras since apparently his guests liked his snacks and they ran out. The wolf let out a satisfied sigh and brought the plate to the living room....
