Christmas Night | Cw

Ariel walked in his very own thoughts, as he sat down at a nearby park bench, before he just looked down at the dimly lit screen, as he surfed his social media account. He hated Christmas to be honest. All the presents and the stress that came with it, it wasn´t worth it in the end, but then again, maybe it was because he was such a giver in the first place, that he didn´t really care for it.

He sighed, as he leaned a little to the side, while thinking about America. Maybe it had been wrong to leave everything to leave Gavin.. he missed him so much.. and they had, had something going for a good time.. and then he bailed.. as he had started getting scared.. and he also had wanted to find Spencer and Kenna again. He adjusted his coat, as he looked around, when something cought his nose.. a stench.. something.. rotten?. He looked around, only to see a guy nearby

He was hungry. Again. He always was. It was constant, gnawing at him at every possible second, even when he was eating. It had always been that way. From the moment he had been brought into existence, Cheveyo had been hungry. Oh, so hungry. He never had enough. But human flesh was always what seemed to actually settle the hunger, for just a fraction of a second... Nothing else did. The boy whose body he had inhabited, when the werewolf had been so stupid to go camping in Nova Scotia - well, he'd thought he knew what hunger was. Yes, werewolves were known for eating a lot - but it was nothing compared to the hunger that the boy, Gavin, got to feel emanating off of the wendigo that had taken up residence in his body and mind.

He had drastically lost weight during the past about month, since that trip... The pounds just rattling off of him with the increased metabolism the wendigo had brought with it. But even with as new as the hunger was, parts of it were still manageable, even if he was wrecked with guilt from what he had done during the past month. Or, well - Gavin was. Cheveyo, on the other hand, knew nothing of that feeling. He had never felt guilt at all. He knew only hunger, greed, hatred... And it was starting to wear on Gavin.

Which was why he had decided to go to the park, to try to calm his nerves just a little, walking in there, sighing as he looked up at the grey sky. Normally, the cold would have bothered him... But ever since Cheveyo had possessed him, he rather embraced it. The cold was... Nice. Comforting.

Ariel looked around, as he suddenly noticed someone, it was that person that smelled like that, but why?. It wasnt so strong, but he had always had a very good nose. As the guy came closer, he suddenly got up, as he looked at him with the ocean blue eyes of his, as he said " Gavin.. G-Gavin is it you ".

It couldn´t be, why would he be in Gaia, and why now.. and how he looked. He almost ran up towards him, as he embraced him, if he would even let him, before he said " Gavin i can´t believe!.. it´s really you..". He was sure, it was him.. it looked like him.. it couldn´t be anyone else, but he was.. looking starved a little.. almost.. anorexic?. He didn´t even know how to react seeing him again, if it even was him, but it couldn´t be anyone else, could it?. He looked at him with the biggest eyes ever, as he felt like saying something more but he couldn´t quite find the words, as something inside of him was stille ever a little hesitant as to who he was.. it could also just be someone, who acted like him, but he smelled like him a little, only... worse in a way, something that almost bothered him to a point where he wanted to close for his nose a minute or two.

And then he... No, they, were suddenly hugged, out of nowhere. He blinked, and looked down at whomever it was - and since it was someone Gavin recognized... Cheveyo let him take over the talking... For now.

"Ariel? I... I had no idea you would be here... I've missed you so much..." he said, and hugged back, though weaker than he usually would have, as he sort of... Didn't possess his werewolf strength any longer, either. He hadn't even transformed during the last full moon... That had scared him more than anything else, definitely knowing that he wasn't a werewolf at all anymore. His senses, though - they had grown even sharper...

Ariel smiled, as he looked up towards Gavin, before he listened to his words. " I have missed you too, so much.. what´s happened to you?!. Why are you so skinny, last time i saw you, you were built like a brick almost.. ". He looked worried, as he said " Come, we need to feed you ". He took his hand, as he gently started to walk towards his own apartment, as he said " So.. what are you doing here? ".

He could not believe his eyes, as he looked over Gavin. It was unbelievable to see him, to actually be able to reach out and touch him, and know that it was him, that he wasn´t alone in England anymore. He didn´t know why he was here, but he was determined to find out, and then if the chance was there, he would hope to keep him here, in England with him, for at least a week or even more, as he stood there and looked at him. He couldn´t help but think a little for himself * he looks sickly.. is something wrong with him.. *. He didn´t look or smell right, which made him a little uneasy.

"I..." he was about to just say it out loud, but that made Cheveyo take over a bit violently inside their mind, to keep the secret. No way in hell was he going to let him say the word. "... I don't really know. I was just camping, hunting, in Canada. By myself, like I used to talk about wanting to do, you know? I might have caught some disease or something... I'm hungry all the time." and he then let the young werewolf lead them into the apartment,plainly ignoring Gavin in the back of his head. "Oh, I... Sort of... Got kicked out of the pack. I don't really want to talk about it... I just wanted to get away from there. So, here I am..." that would also be a good lie and explanation for the skinnyness, right? At least, according to the knowledge Cheveyo had gotten from Gavin's memories, rogues were usually looking pretty malnourished.

Ariel took him home with him, as he listened to the story, before he looked down a little, as he said " it´s a fucked up pack anyway.. but i´m so sad to hear that. I should have never left you.. i should have gone with you ". He sighed, as he looked at Gavin with a little smile, before he started to find some food. He looked a little over towards him, as he slowly moved over to him, gently embracing him, as he said " I´m not leaving you again Gavin i promise.. ".

He leaned in to kiss his lips, as he had done so, before moving.. as he gently stroke Gavin´s cheek. He dearly hoped that Gavin would kiss him back but if not, he could totally understand it, as it looked like Gavin had been through so much already. He just wanted to be near Gavin, to help him, to just support him, as good as he could. He looked at him with a worried expression, not really knowing what to do in this kind of situation anymore, as he stood there.

Once they got inside, 'Gavin' took off his jacket, only making the weight loss even more noticeable, when the rather skinny arms got a bit more visible in the t-shirt. "Don't be... I'm still getting by. Really, it's not that bad." his eyes were sort of focused on the food as it was pulled out, though, a positively ravenous look in his eyes, before he looked at the werewolf again as he moved closer and then embraced him... And kissed him. The wendigo knew this could be bad... As the heart beating in the chest was now made of ice, that made the rest of 'Gavin's body cold to the touch, too... Including the lips, but he let Gavin take over for a few seconds, simply because he could feel the guy really did want to return the kiss... So he let him, just to keep up the facade. And let him stay in the front... As long as he didn't do something stupid like before, again. So, Gavin smiled softly and leant a bit into the touch of that warm hand on his cold cheek, enjoying it even more than he had before all of this shit had happened.
