“This movie is so scary!” Ziggy trembled, hiding on its holders’ hair. It was around midnight, Nathaniel and Ziggy were watching a thriller movie on his laptop, it is a regular thing they would do together almost every night when his parents went to sleep. The bright, full moon shining through Nath’s bedroom window gave the room a more sinister vibe, which made Ziggy even more scared.
“Ziggy, it’s just a movie! It’s not real, it won’t hurt you” He chuckled, giving the kwami’s head some head pats.
“I know! But still…the scene when that guy transformed into a wolf was so terrifying! Aren’t you scared?”
“Not much, this movie is very cliché. The scary scenes were quite bland” He continued to talk, scooping the rest of the popcorn from the bowl “The romance was at least ok…oh, no more popcorn, I’ll get some more or something else”.
“Ok…b-but be careful! It’s so dark, what if there’s a monster?!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine” Nath smiled as Ziggy’s worry, closing the door and walking quietly to the kitchen to not wake up his parents, stepping onto the cold floor on the dark hallway. Arriving at the fridge, he opens the door looking for something tasty, finding a nice-looking piece of a Strawberry Cheesecake. “Nice~ Cheesecake-…?” Nathaniel glanced around when he heard a faint noise, but not finding anything out of the ordinary around him. He shrugged, not thinking about it since he was more interested in the delicious sweet on the plate on his hands, walking back to his room, but…something feels off, everything was the same, nothing changed, but his intuition was telling that something was wrong.
A shiver went down his spine, now feeling kind of uneasy walking in the same hallway he was in minutes ago, the mood seemed more tense, cold and spooky out of nowhere. He got to the door of his bedroom, but before he even stepped closer, he froze, he didn’t leave his door like that, ajar, maybe Ziggy left? That wouldn’t make sense, she could just go through walls so opening a door is illogical. Now he was afraid, he thought he was paranoid, did the movie mess up with his head? Or did something really happen while he was in the kitchen? Or worse! An akuma got inside! He shakily steps closer, he could’ve called Ziggy to ask, but he couldn’t risk the akuma hearing him. Getting inside his safe space, everything is…normal? The room is the same, his laptop paused on the movie, art supplies on the same space, his window open- his window open?? Nath let out a shaky breath, now he was one hundred sure that something was in his room, ready to sneak up on him.
Nath jumped back, dropping the cheesecake on the floor when he saw from the corner of his eyes a big silhouette, glowing green eyes staring back at him just a few feet away from him. The silhouette crawls closer, the moon’s light illuminating the figure to reveal a werewolf, its black fur shining with the light. The absurd situation making the redhead fall back, hitting his back on the chair while he was trying to put space between them, his body slightly trembling from fear as the werewolf slowly got closer and closer with each step. Was this it? Was he going to be eaten by a werewolf? He closed his eyes tightly waiting for it to hurt him…but nothing came. He opened his eyes just to meet the werewolf snout inches far from his face, just staring at him. “…uhm...?” Nathaniel gasped as the werewolf nuzzled its cold nose on his shoulder, whining as it snuggled against the redhead, making Nath even more confused that he already was, was this is an akuma? If it was…this is very…weird, absurd even, why is this enormous werewolf just cuddling him? Aren’t akumas supposed to be dangerous? If so, why is this one not doing anything to hurt or manipulate him? Was this a trick? He tried to wiggle away, but the wolf was persistent in keeping him close by wrapping its arms around him, whining louder and wagging its tail frantically. “H-hey, let me go!” Trying to free himself wasn’t clearly an option, he sighed, feeling defeated, but that changed when he noticed something quite familiar, on one of the werewolf’s ears there was a feather shaped earring, a very familiar earring from a very familiar person. Could it be…?
“M…Marc?” At the moment he whispered that name the werewolf got even more agitated, his ears standing up right and tail wagging side to side, his eyes sparkling with recognition.
“Marc!? Is- is that you?!” Nath exclaimed loudly, shocked to see his boyfriend as this giant wolf-like monster “What happened?! You are really a Werewolf!? DID AN AKUMA DO THIS TO YOU-“ He was interrupted with the wolf licking his face, leaving a trail of saliva behind “Eww…gross” the furry man huffed, growling like a puppy and laying on his back begging for attention, it looked like Marc wasn’t very, well…smart at this form, acting more like a puppy than anything with capability of having coherent thoughts, Nath had to try something else to have answers.
“Ok, alright, what am I gonna do…hey, Marc” The werewolf leaned his head to the side, good he got his attention “Ok, good, uhm…can you understand me? Un-der-stand…?” Marc completely ignored the question, looking around his boyfriend’s room curiously, Nath sighed, welp, that didn’t work “God what do I do-hey,HEY DON’T EAT THAT!” he just looked away for one second and the werewolf was already licking the cheesecake that fell earlier from the floor, not caring that is on the ground “NO, uh-uh- bad! Bad boy!” the other boy whined, his ears flopping down from the scold making him look like a sad pup “No, no, I didn’t mean like that…come here”
Nath layed down on his bed, what he has to lose? His boyfriend is a werewolf now for some reason he doesn’t know! Marc pounced on top of him, his body working like a really furry and warm blanket that covers over a third of the bed, snuggling and curling up to make himself more comfortable, his big head resting on top of Nath’s chest. The redhead sighed, just accepting his fate as a pillow, wrapping his arms around the furry body, caressing the thick black fur.
Hours go by and go, Nathaniel’s eyes getting heavy from sleep and from the weirdly comforting warmth of the monster on top of him.

~Morning~
It was already morning, the bright sun shining through the window, hitting Nath’s face a waking him up. He noticed that something was different, the heavy weight that was on his chest now is lighter and half of his vision isn’t blocked by layers of fur, when he took a better look, where the werewolf was resting hours ago now is Marc, back to normal, quietly snoring and holding him tightly. Nath just laid back at the pillow, it was just to comfy for him to move…he will talk about what happened with Marc later, now he just wanna enjoy some quality time with his human boyfriend.
