rsadelleThis is the second to last piece of fic for the year. I hope you've been enjoying my clearing out of files!
I've mentioned before that I like to prompt myself when I'm bored/walking/brushing my teeth. This is just a small snippet for the prompt Tom/Sean, but one of them's a girl and the other one is a werewolf.
Sean tries to give Tom her privacy. She didn't grow up with wolves where everyone can smell or hear almost everything you do and feel. But that doesn't mean he's above keeping an eye out for her, metaphorically speaking.
Luckily he's hanging with Ryan, who knows him well enough that "Tom" is enough of an excuse for Sean to abandon him, and who doesn't in the least mind being abandoned at one of Nick's parties, when he hears her heartbeat spike and catches the scent of her adrenaline.
Sean's seen her lounging in chairs before - he's even seen her lounging in this particular chair before - but now she's sitting ramrod straight. Once he spots her, it's easy enough to see what's making her freak out. Mike and Bill are on the couch that corners her chair, Bill closer to her and lounging, Mike slightly farther away and sitting on the very edge of it.
Sean sits on the arm of Tom's chair, which puts him close to her and higher than both of them. He takes the side closer to the couch. He can't see her as well, but he's in a better position to protect her. She's pack. (And just that, only pack, he keeps trying to make his wolf understand.)
Sean swaps Tom's plastic cup for his beer bottle. It's partly because she was gripping it tight enough that he thought it might actually crack and spill her drink all over her jeans. It's also a signal, probably too subtle for Bill, but Mike's been around wolves enough that he should recognize that they're sharing scent, sharing taste. It's really for Tom, what Sean would do with another wolf, but he won't be sorry if Mike notices it. Anything that warns Mike away from Tom is a good thing, because Sean's not sure he has enough control over his wolf not to rend Mike limb from limb if he hurts Tom again.
