We're Only Animals: Book 2 - Part 1: Building the Tower

Chapter 78 - It's Us

Returning back from his day with Nori and Pina, Louis didn't play around when he came home this time, immediately opening the door and seeking his husband.

The wolf was on the couch with his laptop and tablet once again, head-turning once Louis came in. He offered a kind smile and a whapping tail. "Hey!"

The buck smiled. "Hello, my dear husband."

Legosi laughed. "Aren't you the deer husband?"

Louis paused. "Oh, sheesh," he snorted.

Legosi stuck his tongue out as he set his things aside, after which he started to wiggle a bit, anticipating Louis' embrace.

The buck stepped forward and leaned down, wrapping his arms around him. "I missed you today."

Legosi hugged back. "Me too. Nothing really happened at work. How were things for you?"

"Good...They were good. I went to dinner with Nori and Pina."

"Dinner? Sounds pretty normal. How is Nori?" Legosi pulled Louis down gently to sit next to him.

Instead, Louis sat on his lap. "He's...still troubled. I'm worried about him, but he's in the hands of Pina which means he's in very good hands."

Legosi nodded. "It really does seem like Pina watches out for the whole group, huh? Even though he's the youngest."

"Besides Hachi," Louis chuckled, his eye meeting Legosi's lizard ones.

"I meant our group," Legosi said with a lick to Louis' nose.

He snorted again. "Oh is Nori a part of our group now?~"

"That would be...interesting. Me, you, Pina, Bill, Kai, Dom, and...Nori."

"And yet you've never met him," he continued to smile.

Legosi shook his head. "I feel like if I met any of them I'd be a nervous wreck. Be it from them hating me or..." His mind flicked to Hachi as his ears wiggled.

"Well, Hachi said some nice things about me and you know how I am with praise." Legosi rubbed the back of his neck.

"It's just so obvious that everyone sees how adorable you are." He rubbed his cheeks with his palms back and forth. "Good boy~"

The wolf's tail waved back and forth, quickly. "W-well, remember you have to think of some of my flaws for Monday."

"Ugh," Louis rolled his eyes. "Well, I don't care about flaws right now. I'm on a cute wolf's lap, after all, and where's the flaw in that?"

"Guess it's like school all over again and I'll just procrastinate for that assignment." Legosi leaned in for a kiss while his stomach growled, unsurprisingly.

The deer moved his hands down and rubbed circles on his stomach, kissing him once more, their cold noses touching.

"Mmm, should we get more comfortable? It's getting warmer, after all," Legosi suggested.

"What did you have in mind?" Louis tilted his head, in a rather cute way.

The wolf reached up and tugged the deer's eyepatch off, softly. "Take our clothes off," he said, bluntly.

Louis blushed a bit. "You don't even need to continue."

"We can get our aprons on too and cook something together. When's the last time we've done that..." Legosi mused with a hum.

The buck sighed. "Ugh...I don't want to think about it." He pulled his own shirt off, stretching the collar over his budding antlers.

Legosi grinned. "Tonight would be a good night...It would help me be less anxious about tomorrow."
