A Life Less Frightning - Meeting the Grey Wolf

Hunter stood hunched over trying to catch his breath after running so far, "damn" he mumbled panting while looking back from where he came from he could see various people enjoying thier afternoon. Wishing he wasnt exercising he sat down on a nearby bench trying to figure out just why he had taken up running in the first place, he suddenly rememberd that he did it to make himself feel better and begrudginly he got up and contiued on his way.

Hunter was a wolf average hight for his age but was phsically much weaker than other wolves he had short black fur with the tip of his muzzle a snowy white, he'd got that from his father it made him stand out a bit but he didnt mind to much. He also had white chest fur like most black wolves. However the feature that most people comented on was his eyes, they were a lifless grey colour unlike most wolves who useually had bright blue eyes. He did have blues eyes once but they changed the day his father passed away, he always maintained it was a coincidence but really he felt a part of him died that day as well.

Unfortunatly looking as week as he did meant people wanted to take care of him like a pup, this irrateded him to no end "im in my twentys damn it people should stop treating me as a ill pup" he would snarl to himslf.

As he ran he noticed two male Huskies run pust in the opposite direction and couldnt help but stare at them as they went past, Hunter had been looking at guys more and more lately but didnt think any thing of it. He turned his head to continue looking as they ran into then distance, not paying atention to where he was going and hit something hard. He fell back heavily onto the ground dazed from the fall he tried to see what he had run into.

"Are you okay pup" he heard a voice say.

"Pup?" he thought, he was about to give the person in front of him a pice of his mind when he looked up and saw the most beatiful wolf he had ever seen in front of him, all he could manage was an incoherant stutter. Suddenly the other wolf picked Hunter up and tried to make sure he wasn't hurt. All Hunter could do was stare in amazement at the wolf, the wolf was tall and very muscled basicaly everything Hunter wasnt, he had short gray fur with white paws and chest as well as bright amber eyes. He wore a blue pair of basketball shorts a a white vest that showed of his muscles, this was in srtak contrast to Hunters baggy combat trousers and hoodie. The wolf gave Hunter a quizical look "are you okay you seem a bit zoned out" he said worriedly.

"Zoned out... yeah right" he thought hopeing that the wolf hadn't notice him staring, suddenly the large wolf chuckled.

"you seem alright" he said letting go of Hunter "by the way my may names Miles, how about you pup?" He called him pup again, "but why am I not annoyed like I normaly am" Hunter wondered

finaly he manged "I'm Hunter" very meakly.

"Well Hunter" Miles said "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. Hunter nodded and started to follow Miles, "what was he doing?" Hunter thought joining someone at a cafe that he litterly just run into was odd, normaly he was far to shy for something like this but seemed to just feel at ease with the wolf so continued on.

They took a seat at the cafe on the outside tables as it was a nice day. Miles went to order some drinks and Hunter started to think about what just happend, not sure exactly what to think "I really like him, but I didn't think I was gay I mean it would make sense" he thought "I've only ever gone out with one girl and that didnt turn out well, any way all I wanted in someone was a person to love and love me back, guess it dosnt matter what gender that person is"

A few seconds passed before suddenly Hunter sat bolt upright "wait did I just think about love? What the hell I onlly ran into him half an hour ago" he was seriously considering getting out of there when Miles returned with a big smile and two cups of tea .

"Hope you like tea " Miles said handing the cup over to Hunter, Hunter nodded.

They sat there making idle chit chat about things like the weather and the park they were running in. As they reach the end of the drinks Miles decided to ask a question "Hunter would you like to have dinner with me, I think your kinda cute you and seem like a really nice person"

Hunter was stuned, "cute? I hate being called that but for some reason..." he thought franticaly "well..ah..I'm...not...well...you....um" he mumbeled.

"It's okay if you dont want to" he said, all of a sudden the doubt cleared form Hunters mind as he replied, " Yes I would really like to have dinner with you" saying this shocked Hunter slightly.

"Really" Miles smiled happily and his tail started to wag "where would you like to go?" he said getting visibly happier with each passing second, Hunter shruged "well" he contined "you really dont seem the type to enjoy having to dress up for a high class restraunt".

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" he said.

Miles continued " okay then its decided to avoid any pressure your coming around to mine and I'm going to cook"

"Pressure!" Hunter thought "thats worse than before, oh well it's to late to say no now" after giving it some thought he replied "sure, when?"

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

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

"Okay the numbers fourteen and be there for eight o'clock" and with that he got up to pay for the drinks and came back with a pen and wrote something on a napkin "my number, just in case you need to call". The furs walked together to the park exit and were about to parts ways when Miles bent down and kissed Hunter on the side of the muzzle. Hunter imidently blushed a turned to watch Miles walk away.

Later on in the evening Hunter started to get ready for the date with the attractive grey wolf, absent mindedly walking around his flat he started to run a bath for himself. He stripped off and lowerd himself in. Hunter was relaxed as he soaked in the bath and began to think about what could happen during the evening, then he relised what could really happen in the evening and smirked sliding lower into the bath. Suddenly he felt something stirring and realised he was begining to become erect at what he had been imagining. He decided to paw himself off but thought "should I wait for tonight? Surely it would be just like having a snack before dinner.... I think I should wait for tonight though just in case".

Ater getting out the bath and drying off Hunter picked the outfit for the evening he decided to wear a pair of black jeans a white T-shirt and a black dress shirt over the top left open. He quickly made his way to Miles's house it didnt take that long to get there, looking at his watch he relised he was half an hour early. He had been to eager to get there, though now he started to get nervous when the front door opened, Miles stepped out grinning and hugged the black wolf "hi there pup glad your so eager to see me, your early come in".

Hunter stepped into the house and started to look around the diffrence between his flat and Miles's house was huge, he was starting to get nervous again until Miles called out to him "come into the kitchin dinners ready, it was lucky you got here early didn't take as long as I thought to cook" Miles offered him a seat.

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

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

"You would think so" Hunter said sarcasticaly.

"Not so good with food then I take it" Miles 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 supriesd you have stayed so thin then"

Hunter immediently blushed. "You also look cute when you blush" this was'nt helping Hunter at all. Eventaly they stuck into dinner and got to know each over better.

"Well then Hunter" Miles said "Tell me about yourself".

"like what?" he replied.

"Likes, dislikes hobbies that sort of thing"

"Oh, okay lets see...... im twenty two come from the countryside origionaly moved up here awhile ago, work in an office and mostly listen to ska and have an irrational fear of mimes".

"Mimes?" Miles said, Hunter just nooded looking slightly emaressed "I guess its my turn then, I'm twenty four always lived around here, also work in an office I have no musical prefernces and no irrational fears"

"Hes only two years older than me!" Hunter thought "it really seems almost impossible that two years could make all that diffrence between people, dosn't it?" he continued musing as they both continued chatting about themselves. Eventualy they finished dinner and Miles began to clear away the plates. "What do you want to do now Hunter" Miles said while cleaning up.

"I don't know" came the reply.

"How about a movie then?" okay came the reply, "Any preferance" Miles asked.

"Anything with zombies in it" came a rather entusiastic reply.

"you read my mind" Miles put a DVD into the player as they started to watch a trashy eighties zomibe film together on the couch. During the film they moved closer together until Hunters head was resting on Miles's chest. Miles began scritching Hunter behind the ears, Hunter let of a soft murr. After a while the film finished it was then that Miles really noticed Hunters eyes.

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

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

Miles 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 cry as he told Miles about his father and how he lost the life from his blue eyes.

"When I was fifteen my father passed away, I was in pecies I didn't know what to do it was difficult. Shortly after I found out that he had been dying for six years and shouldn't have lasted as long as he did". Hunter started crying more bearly able to contine "when I found that, the fact no one had told me sooner it felt like I died inside it hurt that much". Hunter really started crying now and all Miles could do was hold him tightly in his arms. After a while Hunter fell asleep out of pure exhastion.

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, surprised that Hunter trusted him enough to tell him what he did. Miles wasnt sure what was going to happen this evening, but was slightly glad it had happend this way, because he realised that he genuinly cared for Hunter and just wanted to keep him safe. With all this running through his mind he slowly drited to sleep.
