Chapter Text
Bucky pulled back from his hug with Addison and zed. Prawn is nothing like he imagined growing up but he has to admit he is having fun even if he does owe a lot of people apologies. He has started with zed and Addison right after the hug but the two have forgiven him in the way only family can, With a quick smile and a " its okay. ". They do however remind him of the many wolves he needs to apologize too. Bucky has been saying I'm sorry for the last thirty minutes but finally he only has two wolves left, Willa the alpha and her twin brother Wyatt.
Willa is easy much to Bucky's surprise although that may be due to the fact that she can barely take her eyes off Eliza as Bucky speaks. Wyatt is dancing alongside Eliza and upon noticing Bucky talking with his sister wanders over. Bucky watches as Wyatt's eyes slide over him as if to gauge how much of a threat Bucky is before smiling at Willa and tilting his head towards the zombie girl now dancing alone. Willa flashes Wyatt a fang filled smile before sauntering over to the shorter girl.
" Uh, Hey. " Bucky stammered.
" Hey. ", Wyatt replied smoothly.
" I was just apologizing to your sister but I also wanted to apologize to you too. " Bucky stated.
" No need, we didn't exactly make it easy for people to embrace us. " Wyatt said.
" Still I'm sorry, and I hope we can be friends. " Bucky insisted.
" I'd like that. " , Wyatt said.
" so, will you and your pack still be attending school? " Bucky asked.
" Yeah, I think we will. Your towns amazing! I really wanna try fro yo! " Wyatt exclaimed with a wide grin, exposing his fangs.
Bucky couldn't fight back a smile of his own, something about the younger boy just made him feel warm.
" May i? " Bucky asked reaching out for the others clawed hand.
Wyatt tilted his head in a way that really did remind Bucky of a lost puppy but then laid his hand in Bucky's outstretched palm. Bucky gave him his signature grin before pulling him trough the double doors of the cafeteria and into the hallway. Bucky walked a few lockers down, hand still clasped with Wyatt's until they were right in front of coach and his fro yo cart. Wyatt's eyes lit up at the sight of it and Bucky tightened his hand on the other boys before he realized what he was doing and quickly let go. Wyatt didn't seem to notice as he took in all the flavors.
" which one should I try? " Wyatt whispered.
" I like vanilla. " Bucky said.
" Two vanilla, please. " Wyatt requested.
Bucky watches Wyatt as Wyatt watches coach scoop out two perfectly round mounds of vanilla into each paper cup. Bucky takes the cups and places one in Wyatt's waiting grasp. The werewolf moves the cup up to his nose and takes a cautious sniff before completely neglecting the spoon and laps his tongue over the soft serve treat. Bucky feels his face heat as Wyatt's eyes slide close and his body shimmies as if he is wagging a tail.
Bucky clears his throat before speaking, " So, do you like it? ".
" Oh my moon! yes it's so sweet! " Wyatt said as he finally picked up the spoon and starts to slowly eat, savoring each bite.
Bucky chuckles, " Remind me to take you to the fro yo shop in town. They've got a ton of great flavors. ".
" How about tomorrow? " Wyatt asks while licking his spoon with wide eyes.
" Uh, Yeah okay, I'm free tomorrow. " Bucky stammers
" Great! " Wyatt says happily.
By the time Bucky tears his eyes from the other boy his fro yo has almost melted into a thick puddle in his own cup. Bucky picks up his spoon and brings a dripping mound to his lips and as he does he makes eye contact with Wyatt who smiles around his spoon. Bucky makes sure to swallow carefully as he smiles back, vanilla suddenly tastes better than he remembers.
