Theo went silent for a minute, then his eyes shifted to Kyle and he smiled. "Careful there Dylan, Kyle's very sensitive about jokes like that." "But I..." he stopped as he accepted it really was an expensive joke on his side... except it wasn't. He was a hundred percent sure it was Kyle's voice, despite how he had never heard him speak. So all he could say was, "Sorry." "It's cool," Theo chuckled, "right, Kyle?" Kyle simply rolled his eyes and folded his arms. He didn't look pleased. "Anyway, I have to go. Melody's waiting so I'm going to meet her, I'm so late as it is and she's going to kill me." he smiled like he knew what was in store for him. Dylan opened his mouth to speak, but then Theo turned to him and beat him to it. "We'll talk later." Damn it! "...huh, yeah sure. That's fine." he forced a smile. He wasn't fine, now that he had his mind prepared, some *Melody* had to have plans with him. Ugh. "And Kyle, stay alert and make sure to call immediately if anything
His anger heatened. "No fucking way." He let out. Before he could realize what he was doing, his legs were already walking towards them, he grabbed a book off the shelf and smacked it hard against the guy's head as soon as he was within reach. "Ouch! The hec...?" the guy pulled back and Dylan pushed him away from her before pointing at him with a glare. "You stay out of this." he turned back to her and could barely hold back his anger as he let out in a low grit. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Melody?" Her eyes widened in fear. "Dylan?!" ...is how he did imagine it going, except he was still frozen at the end of the shelf, struggling to decipher what he was staring at. He saw them break their hold and he hid back behind the shelf while hearing their last goodbye, the two left the library, leaving Dylan in a daze. He stood still for over a minute, his lids fluttering as he stared at the other shock of his life standing in front of him with a broken look. "..
Kyle stared at him with a look of disdain, like he was trying to say 'you pulled me all the way out here for that?'. Except it looked even worse.He typed into his phone and Dylan anxiously awaited his response.~~You really don't know anything do you?~~Dylan blinked, "What?"With the roll of his eyes, Kyle shook his head and turned to leave but Dylan dragged him back."Hey, wait!" he lowered his voice. "Come on, help me this one time. I don't know anything that's why I'm asking you."Kyle opened his mouth to speak but could only let out a silent puff. His hand pressed the bridge of his nose and he looked to the side at nothing in particular. Dylan watched his eyes fall shut like he was trying to calm himself.Why is he acting like he told him to donate an organ for him, all he wants to know is what Theo likes.Just then he saw a quick devious smile take up Kyle's lips but it disappeared as soon as he faced him."What was that smile?" he found himself ask and Kyle brought his hands t
Kyle turned to him with a smile and signed something that made Theo look his way. "Dylan?" he looked surprised to see him. He was surprised to see himself sitting in the house also so... Then he heard Theo say to Kyle, "What did you do now?" Kyle shrugged back with an excited smile. What now? Was he that excited to get his chocolate bars? Theo came down the stairs and walked up to him. He looked ready to step out, obviously a morning class. "Hey," Theo greeted, and he got up to match his pace. "Sorry, I was just going to drop this off before you left but I kinda found myself in here before I could have a proper conversation with your mom." Theo smiled, "I totally get it." Dylan smiled back, more from the fact that Theo looked a lot better than the previous day. He saw him scrunch up his nose and sniff lightly. "A cold?" "No, it's just a little itchy." he waved and brushed over his nose while sighting the bag. "What's that?" "Yeah, I just got you a little," he glanced
Dylan's widened eyes went from Theo who blinked like he had just found out their deepest secret, to the husky, then to Theo again, and then back to the husky.No freaking way."Dylan, calm down, let's not draw anymore attention and I'll... I'll explain." Dylan blinked confusedly."Oh, you sure do have a lot of explaining to do, you have a dog?! A Siberian husky to be exact and you never once brought it up?!" Dylan's smile widened in excitement and he watched Theo blink in a daze. "R-right, I have to explain... that.""Damn! His eyes are so beautiful, and I've only heard about red and white husky but I've never seen one with this light honey brown color." he found himself already going down in a squat, but stopped to ask the most important question with a grin. "Can I pet him?"Theo blinked, "Uh- I'm not... I don't know, he's not really friendly with..."Theo's words got cut short when the husky stepped closer and placed his paws on Dylan. Dylan stared down at the husky that had its
"...lan? Dylan... DYLAN!" Dorry's lowered scream finally got to him and his tired eyes creaked to the side to see her with a widened gaze. "Dude are you trying to kill us all?" "Huh?" "You mixed in the wrong chemical and didn't realize it's been foaming up? What's got you so distracted?" Dylan blinked down to his side of the table and his eyes widened in shock, Dorry seemed to have cooled off the built up foam that now sizzled out but if it had gone on any longer things might've ended real bad. "My god, I'm sorry... thanks." he scuffled around to clean up his side as he heard Dorry let out a sigh. "You good?" she sounded concerned. Dylan turned to her, her attentive demeanor almost made him give out. But then he only gave the nod of his head and a quick smile. "Yeah, I'm fine." Cleaning up the table, he repeatedly told himself to keep his concentration in the lab. However... how could he do that?! Lucas?! LUCAS?! He had freaking slept with LUCAS?!! Haaa, he was losing it a
Dylan sat still, speechless. His eyes squinted at Dorry who was still staring at him, only to give him a shrug to confirm the truth in her words. He scoffed out a dissuading smile as he looked away. "That's impossible." Dorry rolled her eyes tiredly. "Why do you say that?" "Well, first of all, I'm not..." his eyes reflexive fell shut at his incoming lie. "I'm not like that, but more importantly, I would know if that's true. Kyle is anything but nice to me, you don't call someone you like stupid. That's just absurd." He pouted, still unable to move on from being called, stupid. "This..." Dorry pointed with a look that said she had given up. "This is exactly what I was talking about. You're only smart when it doesn't involve you." "Okay, you really need to stop saying that." "I will when you also start seeing what surrounds you. Tell me, are you aware there are currently six people in this room that have a crush on you." she raised her brows in question. "Both female, AND MALE.
The subtle chime of a bell seeped into Dylan's awakening consciousness. The soothing breeze calming his every nerves, pushed him to relax further, but despite his body's lazy attitude, his eyes slowly fell open and the open sky met his gaze. He laid still for a minute, taken by the breathtaking view of the clouds quietly moving along with the wind. Never had he caught such a sight even at his most liesure time. "Wait up!" The next array of children cheerful laughters called him, causing him to sit up, only to have his mouth in a confused gape as he glanced around. The greenery of the hill stretched far out of sight, unknown little kids dressed in a long white dress chased after a bunny like he wasn't their business. His eyes glanced around the area and he drowned more into fear than confusion. The only thing in sight was a huge tree in full bloom with beautiful white flowers he didn't recognize. It also swayed around in the direction of the wind and had petals fall off elegantly
“Hmff…”They all watched Dylan sniffle quietly on Kyle's bed after they had finally gotten him to calm down. Yet as the four of them stood in front of him, including Kyle who had changed back into his human form and gotten dressed, while the others had gotten Dylan off the floor, they all didn't know what next to do.“Uh-” Dylan finally spoke, his tired voice now calm and undoubtedly embarrassed. “Sorry about that guys, I'm fine now so could you all stop, looking so worried?”“Haa, I thought for sure he had said something bad to you.” Lucas spoke first, side eyeing him. “ You sure you okay?”“You need anything?” Theo asked concernedly.“Perhaps a kiss from the one who caused this would do the trick.” Aaron chuckled in a tease but had his smile fade off when all eyes glared in his direction.**Why is this dumbest piece of shit in my room anyways?** He found himself grunt quietly before turning his attention back to Dylan. He looked less shaken, but his eyes had gone red from crying.
**This blabbering idiot, I should've thrown him out the window.** Kyle thought with a serious look. Now Dylan felt worried. Was there a dark side of Kyle that he had been turning a blind eye to? “H-how're you going to let him down?” he found himself ask and saw Kyle grow nervous. **Shit, I used my powers to keep him up there but I can't do it again in front of Dylan. And I also can't leave this idiot in here.** Powers? **I hate lying to him but I have to.** ^^Could you help me get a… scissors from Lucas. I need one to get him down.^^ Dylan squinted and questioned how he should take his request after hearing such thought. He was obviously trying to get him out of the room so should he play along for now? “O-okay.” He got up, deciding to go along with it despite his itch to know what exactly Kyle was trying to hide. He stepped out, but surprisingly, two steps was all it took to hear a loud thud from the room while Kyle rushed out. **Dylan! Oh.** ^^You can come back now, I fou
“Okay.” Dylan nodded, oblivious to what Kyle had to say next. **Would it be better to explain it to him before showing him? Would that freak him out less? It didn't work on his parents though.** His parents? He thought, what do they have to do with this? **Ugh, whatever.** He watched Kyle proceed to sit back on the floor and begin with his signs. ^^So, I have this thing… it's literally a curse based on who placed it on me, but the truth is… I can change into a dog.^^ Dylan blinked, his head cocking forward in confusion. “Sorry, could you show me that again? I think I misread it.” ^^No, you didn't.^^ His eyes searched Kyle's confident gaze, what he read didn't seem like what had been intended. “I read that as dog, I'm sure that's not what you said.” Kyle pursed his lips, and the next act of him proceeding not to correct him made Dylan go silent. **He's staring at me like I've gone mad, but I have to see this to the end.** ^^Remember my Aunt's dog? Skylar” He squinted, the
It took Dylan a minute and a step back to realize what he had done. His hand cupped his mouth and his eyes almost popped out. “Oh my…” Just when he thought it couldn't get worse, the figure from the side which they hadn't noticed the whole time, called their attention. Their heads turned at the same time to see Kyle remain frozen at the other end of the room. And Dylan's heart broke from the look on his look. “Ky-” “Kyle,” Theo beat him to it. With no regard to what they had to say, Kyle turned away quietly and stepped out of the kitchen. “K-Kyle, hold on.” Theo stepped out after him, leaving Dylan still with cupped lips and a look of disbelief. What did he just do?… What, the fuck, did he just do? His legs finally moved forward and he stepped out of the kitchen. He had never messed up so much in one day… no, in less than an hour! “Kyle, at least listen.” Theo's voice called him to the stairs, and he walked over to see Theo standing up the first end while calling up cautious
“Ugh!” Theo's loud groan didn't register in his head as his body suddenly lost all the strength they had. “D-Dylan, Dylan I think I broke somethin...”His head shot up in a panic, and his words left through his whisper as he met the confused brown eyed gaze. “Hide me.” His fear getting the best of him caused him to ramble on. “There's– there's a gold dressed maniac following me because I punched him in the face and ran off after biting his hand. But I had to because he pulled a gun to my side and threatened me to stay in the bus after his eyes went crazy.” “Wh… what?!” Theo's gaze of confusion turned to concern in a second while he sat up straight and held him close. His eyes scanning the area at once. “He just got down at the stop, he definitely followed me so please hide me.” he didn't realize his voice had gone shaky until he compared Theo’s calm tone to his. “If you're right then we should get you inside. A gun?” Theo looked scared for him while he tried to get them up. Still
He blinked. **What?** “Selective amnesia to be precise, according to the doctor.” Mr. Kerwood chipped in.His gaze returned to Mrs. Kerwood who wasn't trying to hide her guilt behind her face squeeze. “I'm sorry. I really didn't mean for that to happen.”**W-wait, hold on.**He grabbed his phone and typed in. ~~How sure are you about this? I mean… how did you find out?~~“After the day I told him we lost you, I thought his character was a little odd. He asked a lot of questions that didn't seem… sound, his voice was barely audible yet he talked a lot, and he would tear up anytime we brought him food.”**That's not odd, that's just Dylan being Dylan.**“I thought these were all his coping mechanism or something so I tried to cheer him up. I asked if he still missed his dog and the next thing he asked me was… what dog?”What?“I thought he was joking about it and just didn't want to talk about it so I didn't pressure him for days. In all honesty, it's more like I wasn't even sure, I'd
"Hah," she exhaled in relief, her teary eyes holding a hint of excitement. Her voice softened up and her shoulders slumped. “Thank goodness you're alive.”Alive?Of course he was. Why would she think he was dea-ohhh!Right, he remembered. A second after Mrs. Kerwood had managed to pull Dylan in his hold out of the house, the wood had given out in the fire and he had been caught inside. He really thought that was the end of him, yet he could only find himself worrying about Dylan.He was alive thanks to Heralis.But could he say 'thanks' to her when she simply ripped him off more of his rights and was still trying to kill him off? He did find out that day that she was the one behind his husky curse after all.**Haa, whatever.**They didn't need to know that. He was going to find a way out of his mess one way or the other."H-how did you make it out?" Mrs. Kerwood took a step closer with her concerned gaze instantly taking a questioning turn. "Does Dylan know this? Oh my goodness, this
Locked up in a different room and chained down like the dog he was, felt merciful on their end. But not on his. He couldn't stay still when the last picture he saw was the kid lying unconscious and bleeding out. His 'father' had only ordered Cornor to pick him up after cursing out in annoyance. While the man had dragged him by the fur over to a different room, after a few kick and more curses. And Kyle had let it be because he couldn't bring himself to fight back. It was all his fault. If he hadn't put himself in that position, the boy wouldn't have gone through that. "You better stay still right here and be quiet. Unless you want to see your friend get hurt again." the man threatened and all he could let out was a whimper. How could he do anything after hearing that? He was scared. He couldn't tell what was going on outside with the kid. Is he going to be okay? With how his father treated him, he was more worried if they were actually paying proper attention to his wounds.? He
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING CHAPTER INCLUDES CHILD VIOLENCE, READ WITH A PREPARED MIND. “...done…ing it.” “...a tracking dog?” “It doesn't look like it, sir.” The faint voices slowly cleared up in Kyle's ears, his consciousness seeping back in. “What do we do with it?” His eyes fell open to the stranger in a lab coat squatting in front of him. He looked unfamiliar, and so did the bright white room. Shifting his gaze to the side a bit further down the room, he felt a shiver run up his spine at the sight of the other man in the room, who also had on a lab coat and was the one who had shot him to sleep. The boy's father. **Shit, I messed up.” his body moved groggily, the effect of the drug still weighing him down. **How did I let myself get caught to become dog meat?** “Take him away,” the man said, his gaze not fixed in his direction, but at something else. “We'll feed him to the kid once he's awake.” **No.** The person closer to him moved to obey and he panicked. The kid meant it.
