It was over. University was over. Tom drank the water with a big smile on his face. Tonight was festive. A drunk Octo was even dancing with a drunk Kevin in the living room whilst being cheered on by the others. Tom didn't want to be drunk, though; he...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 47: White Silence
Tom woke up to white. This time, there was pain everywhere. Almost immediately he closed his eyes again as the light made it hurt. The wolf just took a deep breath. The pain felt familiar. His hands still hurt, as did his chest. However, it felt soft,...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 45: Hollow Spring
There he was, lying in his almost dead-like slumber. Sitting on a chair next to the berth, Max watched Tom like a guardian. He had been there all day and the night before. The sun was setting again, but he had no intention to leave the room. Tom...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 44: Under Cold Stars
Vilkas put his phone down, his brows furrowed. Lucas saw some kind of concern on the husky's face. "What is it?" asked the coyote. "Just Octo asking about Kevin." The husky shrugged and took one crisp, munching it. "Friends of mine." "Oh. I know...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 43: On the Question of Standing Still
Tom gripped the cup tight. The nightmares were worsening again. Last night he couldn't sleep, the nightmare too vivid to ignore. He had been sitting on the balcony since, watching the sky and the city to help his mind calm down. _"Can you feel it?...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 42: One's Own Way
Just a subtopic again for chapter 2, but Max couldn't find the will to do it. Ugh, thesis was really complicated. Tom told him that it was just a big essay, and in a way, he was right, but he did not specify just how _big_ it was actually. Leaning on...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 14: In the Walled Garden
Crossing his arms, Octo looked outside the car window. Not far was his family house. It was moderately decorated from the outside, showing just enough to impose yet restrained enough to be called refined. It was big, too big for just a family of three,...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 13: Beers and Jeans
"The wolf on the house!" Kevin smirked at the customers and lowered the tray he was holding, flexing his arm at them. "At your service." he said, bowing slightly. They took their drinks. "Thank you!" He gave them a salute and went back to the bar to...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 11: Gentle Steps
"So, we're now a thing." asked Kevin. "Depends on how you want to see it." replied Octo. "Are we boyfriends?" "Are we _boyfriends_?" Kevin shrugged. Octo shrugged back. "So... what now?" "You wanna go out with me?" "Like on a date?" "Like on a...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 09: Pour ‘n Co
Kevin put his hands in his pockets as he reached his neighbourhood. Vilkas was really a good friend. Hanging out with the husky made him feel a lot better, even without sex. After having kebabs, they spent time talking in the park till sunset. Vilkas...
Chasing the Sun - Chapter 08: Cold Afternoon Wind
Kevin stared at the monitor in front of him. Should he really do this? He checked all the marks in the qualifications list even though his national ID card said that he resided in Ausalt-on-Haye. His tail swayed gently through the hole in the chair,...
Reaching for the Stars - Chapter 06: Coffee (and Tea) Break
The wind was slow, peaceful. The leaves were falling from the trees, making the scenery calm and peaceful as the trees gave out their precious leaves to the ground and surrender themselves to nature. On the table were a cup of hot green tea and another...
