The broken and fragile

Part 8: With you

I nodded to let him know he was correct. His face lit up and he jumped to his feet in what seemed like an excited manner. "Okay just hang on let me find a pen." He told me in a rush before he pretty much sprinted out of the room. Well gee I didn't know it was that big of a deal.

He soon returned moments later with a pen in his hand holding it out to me. I took it from him with a polite nod as a thank you. He resumed his previous spot on the floor knelt in front of me. It seemed like he was almost bouncing.

He watched me eagerly while I struggled to write a few simple words. Soon I was finished and held out the note pad for him to take so he could read it. He stared at it for a second mumbling the words written as he read it. "No Duncan, with you?" I caught him saying in a soft whisper.

When he was finished reading it he looked up to me yet again. His face seemed to be impossibly bright with excitement. "You want to come with me?" He asked beaming at me. I nodded while trying to copy his little side grin from earlier hoping I didn't look ridiculous.

I think I failed though because he softly chuckled while shaking his head in a disbelieving manner. "I can't get out of training today I hope you know that. There will be quite a few people there. I can have an isolated spot for you to sit at and watch if you really want to come. Are you sure you want to come with me?" He made sure to give me every bit of information clearly.

Go sit with Duncan for the day the guy who gave me pickles or stick with Jared? The answer was obvious. I mean there would be other people there but as long as Jared was there with me I'm sure I would feel safe. Better than being with Duncan. I nodded to let him know I decided I still wanted to be with him.

I thought it was impossible for his face to become any brighter but obviously I was wrong. He stood quickly and offered me his hand. I was hesitant to take it at first but did anyway. It was soft and warm yet also rough. It was perfect.

"Get dressed and then we'll head out." He glanced at the clock that sat on the night stand besides us before giving a small laugh. "I'm late anyway. But don't worry about rushing. You just go get dressed and I'll be waiting here for you."

He let go of my hand to let me enter the closet and dress. I re-entered the room not long later wearing an outfit similar to his. Upon seeing my current clothes he stood and approached me while softly laughing yet again.

"Trying to match me are ya?" He asked but I felt like it was a rhetorical question the way it sounded from his mouth. Although any question could be consider rhetorical to me seeing as how I usually don't answer.

He left his room and started heading down the hall in a comfortable silence. I kept catching him giving me side glances while he had a small smile on his face the entire time. After what I think was the seventh time looking at me he spoke up.

"You know you've been keeping eye contact with me today. That's really great little wolf." He explained to me his smile growing while he watched me for a reaction. I hadn't even realized that I had been. I guess I feel a lot safer with Jared then I thought I was.
