Xata: Oh I was helping him with how to work with stress and his wolf was being a nob head but we got it done

Jeremy nods at Xata as he walks over to her and gives her the box. Your mouth drops since he took your idea

Jeremy: I hope you like it. It's just to remember us by

You fold your arms and look away from him

You: Hmph

He rolls his eyes when he hears you

Xata: I will open it soon. Have a seat

He looks at you. You're still looking away from him.  He takes a deep breath and picks you up

You: What the...

He sits down on your spot then puts you on his lap.  Your eyes get wide as your face becomes red from blushing. You didn't know what to do but sit there in shock while your heart starts beating fast

Your wolf: Well then. Looks like someone has grew on us

Xata: Well you got what you wanted Z

They all laugh. You don't move at all,  still like a statue but you felt embarrassed that you were looking like an idiot around everyone

Jeremy: I had to put my wolf in time out so now I can think without him yelling at me all the time

His wolf: Hmph

Xata starts to open Jeremy's gift. You snap out of it and look.  It's a painting that Jeremy did of him, you, Xata, and other Jeremy

Xata: I love it. It is a lovely painting Jerry. Thank you

Jeremy: You're welcome. I really hope we can talk again when all of this is over

She nods. You lie back on Jeremy's chest catching him off guard. You let out a smirk when you hear him

You: Here is what I got you both

You hand them two separate boxes

Jeremy *whispers* Show off

You roll your eyes. Jeremy stares at the box you gave to Xata since it had a familiar scent. She opens it and takes out a necklace with wolf nails around them

You: Those nails belong to the male werewolves of my species that died trying to become Alphas. If you ever need protection against werewolves, that'll help you defend them off. Not only will it scare them off,  it'll paralyzed them if it really gets in their skin plus gives them a nasty sting when they try to take it out

Jeremy: Yeah...tell me about it...

You smirk

You: If you're wondering why he's saying it like that, it's because his wolf got caught in them leaving poor Jerry here to deal with the pain afterwards

You look at him, he's glaring at you

Xata: It is a very nice gift.  What did you get my love?

Other Jeremy opens his gift to see cooking utensils

Xata: Silver. I can tell but the color,  very well preserved and clean

Other Jeremy: Wow this is very nice, thank you Z. Really. This is a lovely gift

You: You're welcome. To both of you

Jeremy: It's been a fun two weeks here if I'm being honest

Xata: Yes it was

You: One hundred percent agree

Other Jeremy: Well I think we all can have one last good meal before we go back to our lives tomorrow

Xata: That does sound like fun. I would say you two are starting to work together without arguing

Jeremy: Trying to at least

Xata: Yes but Z you need to stop lying,  it will hurt you if you don't speak the whole truth. A small truth is a lie,  remember that

You: I'm sorry Xata. It's really hard to tell the truth knowing that it hurts people 

Other Jeremy *mumbles * Hmph that's not what you told me last night

Xata: A lie is far worse than telling the truth. It will hurt but lies kill. So I recommend you start telling Jerry everything you lied to him about no matter how small it is but when you are ready to tell him. I know you have trust issues but I have a feeling that his family might come here one day

Both you and Jeremy raise an eyebrow

Xata: If you want they can come here

Jeremy: Really?

Xata: Yes...IF... they can forgive you Z. I don't want anymore drama here; understood?

You nod

Xata: Good now go get cleaned up and whatever until we get you both for dinner

Both you and Jeremy nod as Xata and other Jeremy get up and leave the room.  Jeremy pushes you off him

You: Ow what the hell?

Your wolf: And moment ruined

Jeremy's wolf: About time

Jeremy: That's for lying to me yet again

You: The hell are you talking about?

He folds his arms and glares while you get up from the floor and glare back

Jeremy: You know exactly what I'm talking about

You: I really don't. You need to be more specific

He stands with his arms still folded

Jeremy: How you and Xata met

You: I didn't lie about that

Jeremy: She told me you two met in a dream.  Not in a cave

You: Wow you'll just cry about anything to make me look like the bad guy huh?

Jeremy: I just want the truth from you that's all especially if I'm going to get trained by you

You: Oh yeah? Well Xata said I can do that when I'm ready and I'm not so...

You stick your tongue out at him. He does the same but more dramatic

You: Ha! I've rubbed off on you

Jeremy: I'm going to get ready before I do something I'll regret

He starts to walk away

You: You just admitted you'll regret hurting me

Jeremy: Only because we're a guest in someone's house

You: Hmph just admit it Danvers

He stops and looks at you

You: You like me and you hate yourself for it. I can tell by the way you've been talking to me lately

Jeremy: You want to know something Z?

You: Of course

Jeremy: I try to. I really do try but the things you say and do make me hate you again

You: Aww. From one to one hundred. How much do you like me?

Jeremy: Psh

He walks out of the room.  You let out a laugh then leave the room to go get ready
