A small yelp escaped Neal's mouth as soon as he exited the washroom.  After Kaiden left the room leaving Neal to ponder on his words, Neal fell asleep. He just woke up, and now it was almost evening.  He had gone to the bathroom to wash his face and when he returned, he found Hunter sitting on the bed.  The black haired guy was leaning against the headboard of the bed. He had his left arm resting on his half bent left leg.  A terror filled Neal's chest as he stared at the man with wide eyes.  What the hell is he doing here?  Hunter stared at the fidgeting guy in black tee and sweatpants.  "Come. Sit." Hunter said softly, patting the place beside him.  Come? Sit? I'm not a dog, Neal thought but didn't said out loud.  He hesitantly walked towards the bed. What if he refused? The man will probably have his head in a platter.  He held his breath and sat next

  Neal felt a little weight on him. He opened his drowsy eyes and the first thing he noticed is a mop of golden blonde resting on his chest. "AAAAHH!" He jumped and pushed the little frame off his body. The person let out a yelp before hitting the floor with a soft thud. Neal observed the person who sat there rubbing his butt. He looked like a high school boy. Small slender form, light skin, green eyes. He wore a red hoodie and denim jeans. Neal breathed in the new cologne on him. It smelt like oranges. The boy stood up with a frown in his glorious 5'5. "Why did you push me?" He asked with a pout, still rubbing his back. Neal scooted back, dragging the sheets with him. "Who...who are you? What are you doing here?" Neal wasn't afraid of a small boy. But, who knows if he has a weapon that could take his life in a blink of an eye. The boy's face lit up at that question as someone turned on a switch inside him. He thru

"H-Hi." Derrick stuttered out, sheepishly smiling at the three males just walked in. Kaiden was tense about the other guys reaction. Hunter only seemed to notice the awestruck guy beside Derrick and Drake was already drilling holes on his brother's face with his eyes.Neal couldn't get his eyes off the black haired man even though he tried so hard. Hunter looks so different. Neal's trance broke when Ricky let out a squeal and the next thing he knows the younger one is being chased by his brother."What did we say last time huh? How dare you?" Drake roared, trying to reach his little brother."I'M SORRY!!!" Ricky screamed, running around and finally hide behind Neal who gulped at the scary face of Drake."Drake, let it go man. He already had from me." Kaiden said, yanking Ricky from Neal's behind and stood between the two brothers.Neal let out a sigh, mentally thanking Kaiden for saving him from Drake's blazing gaze."Fuck off Kai! You are spoiling him!" Drake shouted startling his br

"I told you I want to be alone Ric―" Neal stopped when he saw who entered his room. Hunter. Not in his earlier blood drenched shirt though.He is wearing a light blue button up and black dress pants now. Hunter ran a hand through his damped locks, a gesture he does whenever he is tense. Neal unconsciously breathed in the fresh scent of body wash that hit his nose.Neal was standing beside the window with folded arms. He was silent since the incident happened downstairs. Ricky tried to make conversations hoping some words out of Neal's mouth. But the guy courteously asked the young one to leave him alone for a while. After some whining and pouting Ricky granted his wish and left him alone.He was looking out through the window at nothing in particular. Beau is asleep again in his own little bed.Neal bolted towards the bathroom, wanting nothing to talk with the raven haired guy. But the other one grabbed his arm instantly stopping him. Neal snatched his hand from Hunter as if the touch

"What is it? Is it about Arjun?" Neal asked, panicked. Ricky was silent since they walked out, and now they are in garden. The doctor's silence made the vet tense."Do you like Hunter?"Neal was surprised at the question and he frowned as soon as the name left Ricky's lips. He didn't say anything."Why are you treating him like this all of sudden?" Ricky kept talking. It was Neal's time to be silent."I know we held you hostage and you hate us.""I don't hate you! Or anyone!" Neal squeaked."So you like him?" Ricky pressed.Neal sighed, "I didn't say that. I don't know how your world works Derrick, because I'm an ordinary person. I'm―""So what do you imply we are? Monsters?" Ricky raised his brows, there wasn't any amusement in his face anymore."We didn't chose this life, Neal. Trust me, if I had a choice, I wouldn't be a part of this world." Ricky breathed out.Neal saw a flash of sadness in the other's eyes. Now he's feeling bad. He made his only friend there sad."Do you know who
