Vincent had pretty much done exactly what hunter told him not to. Well on some level at least. He was practicing daily to try and say hunter's name as clearly as his mangled vocal chords would let him. He then chose to lock himself up in his room for the most part, only letting his aunt or on occasion pain if he was feeling well enough. He knew that the wolf had been hurt and it just made his stress worse, eventually just choosing to sleep after everything, not moving from the bed.

Andre had managed to recover for the most part from the bite and break in his arm, but he was still very much on edge about what had happened. He could just feel that there was more than just rage inside him, as If he now had a new beast to tame. He didn't let it how though as he drove his car out to his aunts' house. He wanted to see pain and for the most part kept focus on that, ignoring Hunter's presence in the car as much as possible even with needing to adjust to the fact that he could hear the other's heart clearly and smell just what wolves smelled like. He was pulling into the drive way and just stopped, not getting out of the car for a moment as if afraid he'd hurt Pain in his new found state of being werewolf now.

Hunter had been worried sick about Vincent, he knew that the other had gotten soemwhat hurt but he didn't know how or why. He was worrying now as he fought and while he was in recovery and he couldn't wait to see his boyfriend. It was somewhat awkward being in the same car as his cousin, Andre. He knew the other had become a werewlf, he could smell it and hear it. He knew that Andre was a hunter also and wondered how Andre's boyfriend would react to it.

They were mostly silent between one another, not saying as much as two words to one another as he pulled into Vincent's aunts driveway. He saw another young man standing outside and figured it had to been Pain. He didn't see Vincent though and hoped that the other wouldn't react to badly to seeing him in a case and with crutches. He turned the car off and looked to Andre for a moment before getting out, with somewhat of a struggle of course but once he got his crutches under his arms he was fine.

Pain was practically bouncing around when he saw the car come in the driveway and saw Andre. Once the car came to a stop, he bolted for the passenger side and opened it without even letting the other open it himself. He bent down, kissing the other deeply and hugged him. He felt a tear run down his face. I miss you.....are you okay? He asked.

Andre didn't even have a chance to open the door as Pain ran up to the car. He was in a little shock at the sudden kiss, his body visibly stiffening at it before moving to hold Pain and return the kiss. He was rather thankful that his jacket covered up the cast on his arm, though as he got out of the car it was more than noticeable with the cast covering part of his hand and not a glove for once. He didn't seem to let go of the dancer at first, this new instinctual urge to keep the other safe something he needed to adjust to.
"I broke an arm but nothing that would stop me. They treated you alright?"
Andre just seemed to be different, his face very much like stone but his tone was starting to show through, as if it was something aggressive. He was on alert for a danger that didn't exist, just still a little stressed from being bitten.

Vincent didn't stir from his sleep, seeming to be exausted for the most part. He had been up all night trying to speak, at one point just crying, stopping the bloody coughs with towels. He still and one or two of said white towels with the splatter of red on them in his room, his body hidden under the dark colored quilt. When the witch's aunts saw Hunter they directed him to Vincent's room, saying he had been extremely stressed but would more than likely be happy to see the wolf. The one named Mary moved to open the door, the curtains drawn in and the wheelchair across the room. The witch could be heard wheezing in his sleep, throat clearly sore as he was just barely aware someone was checking on him. He didn't move though as he just stayed asleep, almost afraid to wake up.

Pain was so happy to see Andre. He missed the hunter terribly and moved out of the way to let the other out. He was alittle stunned and looked worried when the other had a cast on his arm. He wanted to ask what had happened, but decided that if he found out that he might make a big fuss over it and he wanted to be calm with Andre at the moment. There was something different about the other, he couldn't put his finger on it but he seemed more....aggressive. I'm just glad that you came back to me alive......I missed you so much.....I hope that you missed me. He said with a small smile.

Hunter had decided to leave Andre and Pain to their little reunion. He followed Vincent's aunt into the house and knew that Vincent had gotten hurt while he was away and couldn't help but to wonder if it was because he had tried to use magic to help him in the battle. He wobbled inside the house and followed Vincent's aunt into a room where he saw the little witch underneath some blankets. He smiled and tried to quietly make his way over to the other, sitting down on the edge of the bed and reached out to gently place his hand on the others head.

Vincent......I'm here..... He said softly, leaning down and gave the other a kiss on the forehead.

Andre didn't let his stony expression break, but his eyes seemed to express that he was happy to see the dancer. He ended up giving another hug to Pain before choosing to lead him towards a large tree on the edge of the property so as to talk and tell Pain what happened to him. One of his aunts was trying to talk and even reach out to touch pain to get the dancer's attention. Andre moved the dancer closer to him and actually growled with a snarl at the woman. He didn't think his defensive instinct would be so strong that not only did it shock his aunt but the hunter himself. He seemed to catch this then looking somewhat like a kicked puppy.
"sorry, I...Pain we need to talk..."
He started to walk again, trying to keep this new protective urge under better control.

Vincent struggled with moving from where he was. His expression looked mildly pained as he still wheezed in his sleep. His expression looked to twist in confusion at feeling a hand in his hair before hearing the voice he's been torturing himself to hear again. His eyes opened slowly, as if it was a struggle before they went wide and seemed to light up. Vincent had never moved so fast as he did just now to sit up and hug the wolf as tight as his fragile frame would let him. He didn't care that all he had on was sweat pants under the blanket, he just started to cry and hold the other tightly. He sounded choked for a moment before he actually formed a word with his damaged vocal chords.
"Ha-ha-Hunt-ur..."
The name sounded slurred and broken in places but it was the best he could do. It caused him so much pain to talk but he was just so relieved to see Hunter again.

Pain was so happy to see Andre again and almost forgotten that there was something new with the hunter. He followed Andre happily to the tree at the edge of the property and looked to see one of Andres aunts trying to get his attention and before he could even reply or say anything, he was suddenly pulled closer to Andre and was stunned to hear such a protective growl and snarl. Why was Andre sounding like some wolf protecting its mate? He merely followed an gave his aunt a apologetic stare and looked to his boyfriend."Andre what's wrong?" He asked.

Hunter smiled once Vincent wrapped his arms around him. He kissed Vincent's hair and was stunned when Vincent said his name."Vincent......you said my name....." He said softly and smiled. He looked down on the side of the bed and saw a white towel that was red with blood. His happiness soon went away and he picked it up."Vincent.....what did you do.......my bracelet kept turning red......we're you pushing yourself to talk?" He asked with a frown.

Andre ran his free hand through his hair, eyes looking confused and scared. He leaned against the tree, pulling out a cigarette as to calm him down. He felt very much on edge from all his newly enhanced senses and such. Taking a breath, he kept his eyes directed at his broken arm.
"during the fight...my arm was broken by one of the wolves...the bite nearly ripped it off. It's only stable because...because I'm not human anymore..."
He wouldn't look up at the other, just stayed glaring at his arm and the large bite shaped scar it was going to have once it healed. He didn't expect to be bitten but he just didn't know if pain could handle it well.

Vincent was still crying as he just held Hunter as close as he could. He didn't even remember he had the towels on the floor or that if hunter touched his back he'd see and feel the faded scars on his back. He smiled and gave a bit of a wheeze when he chuckled, coughing a little but not by much. He looked up through his crying a little confused before noticing that Hunter was holding one of the bloody towels. He withdrew a little, pulling the blanket around him instead as he just stared at the towel.
"It didn't start out that way! I was trying to stay gentle when I talked the first two days but then I got upset and screamed...it's what hurt me. I stopped trying to talk but then-then my bracelet turned red and I...I didn't care if it hurt I just wanted to hear you! Saying your name was all I tried and tried. I wanted you to hear me....I-I'm sorry I reacted like this but...I thought you'd want to hear me...I wanted you to hear me..."
He looked up crying again, his fear that he had nearly lost Hunter clearly on his face. He took a deep breath and tried to say the other's name again as if to prove a point but started to cough, the sound rather painful as was the sensation as he had red on his hand again. He knew he could stop now with trying since the wolf was here but he was still scared and didn't know if this was all okay now.

Pain continued to stare at Andre, wondering what was wrong and what had happened since he was away. He just sat down against the trunk of the tree and pulled his long legs close to his chest. He was honestly scared of what kind of news that Andre had....he was afraid that maybe the other was planning on breaking up with him or something trivial like that. But what the hunter had said next honestly stunned him. He was.....no longer human.....he was dating a werewolf?! He didn't think there was any reason to be afraid....but he wondered how Andre felt about all this. He just looked up at the other with sad eyes and stood up, hugging Andre and kissed his cheek. I still love you..... He said.

Hunter was upset with Vincent for even hurting himself this much just so he could say his name. He didn't know whether to yell at Vincent or not but watched as the other coughed and was stunned to see blood on the witches hands. He gripped Vincent's arms tightly and gave the other a very stern stare. Stop pushing yourself........I don't want to see blood come out of your mouth like that...hearing your voice is more than enough. He said sofly and gently stroked Vincents cheek now and kissed his cheek, wiping any blood that was on the corner of his mouth.

Andre took a few drags from his cigarette, his expression actually changing and being one of anxiety or sorts. He had never thought that one day something like this would happen. He didn't know how to handle this, it was just too instinctual of a creature to be for the normally cold and stand-off hunter. He was expecting anger and maybe even horror from the dancer but was surprised when he was hugged and kissed on the cheek. He looked at the other wide eyed, not sure he heard right.
"You aren't afraid? What if I hurt you? I don't know how to control all these new instincts and abilities yet."
He looked like a frightened puppy in his expression, even going so far as to hold back a whine at his inner terror of everything.

Vincent was still coughing for a moment before his arm was grabbed firmly by Hunter. His eyes were wide as it actually hurt some, his body shaking in fear for a moment. He heard what was said as he was tense, realizing he ha made the wolf angry with this. Vincent wanted to curl up and just say sorry over and over again at this, never one to try and make people mad. He almost flinched away with a whine as his cheek was touched, realizing it was a gentle touch and not a painful one. He leaned into Hunter's hand, the kiss seeming to calm him as he felt the blood left be cleared from his mouth. He didn't utter a sound as he was trying to stop his tears.
"I won't do it again...not unless I have to scream for you...I'm sorry..."
He grabbed the towel from Hunter to clean his hands off, not really looking at the red stains as he dropped the towel again. He reached his free arm out to Hunter as he just wanted to be held by the wolf right now.

Pain knew the possibilities that Andre could very well hurt him, maybe even kill him but he was willing to take those chances because he really loved Andre and wanted nothing more than to be with him, regardless what happens to Andre or what he becomes. I know but I want to be with you and I know that you wouldn't hurt me.... He said and wrapped his arms around Andre and kissed him.

Hunter did feel alittle bad for being that stern and harsh with Vincent, but he wanted the other to understand that there were somethings that he just shouldn't do and that was one of them. Sure, it made him so happy to gear Vincent's voice say his name but it wasn't worth it in his opinion at Vincent's suspense. He sigh softly and watched as Vincent wiped some blood off and had to look away at any blood that he saw. I'm am so happy to see you again...... He said and laid down now, pulling Vincent somewhat ontop of him and kissed the messy curly hair with a smile.

Andre was looking very much like a puppy that had been scolded for some reason. He was searching Pain's face still expecting things to go wrong somehow but got an answer that had his eyes light up in a nervous sense. He was resisting just hugging Pain tightly but didn't put of fear of his new strength. He was glad that pain had been the one to move in for a hug, wrapping his arms gently around the dancer as he accepted the kiss. He looked nervous still when it broke, but was much calmer than before.
"I want to be with you too...we just have to be careful now, at least until I learn how to control all of this."
He had actually been starting to develop a headache from all the power smells but was just trying to focus on Pain and pain alone, including in the scent department.

Vincent still felt rather terrible, his throat raw all over again but he just smiled through it. His smile seemed to get brighter at seeing Hunter smile and hear that the other was happy to see him again. He tensed at being moved to lay back down, seeming to find discomfort with skin being in direct contact with his back scars. It was in that moment that he realized he was shirtless and it almost made him panic. He didn't want Hunter to see his scars as he moved so that the covers were over both of them, seeming to use it to hide his back.
"I'm happy to see you too! I was hoping you'd come back without a broken leg...but I'm still glad your back..."
He seemed to snuggle close to Hunter, burying his face in the wolf's chest as he felt his curls be kissed. He missed the other's warmth and the contact that came with it.

He had wished that this hadn't had happened to Andre, but it did and now he would learn how to deal with it. He didn't care though if Andre had turned into a vampire, he would still love the other as if he was still human. He just nodded his head and couldn't help but to rest his head against the others chest now and closed his eyes. Do you have anyone to help you with this? He asked.

Hunter could feel the others scars on his back but he just pretended that he didn't for Vincent's sake. He pulled the covers up over the other some more and held Vincent closed to him. Oh this....its nothing I'll be up and running in no time.....your sister actually helped mend the bones back together....I should be back to my normal self in a couple of days. He said with a smile. We can leave whenever you are ready. He added.

Andre didn't want to let go of Pain as he ended up picking the dancer up so as to sit on the ground, Pain now in his lap. He ran a hand through the other's hair calmly, seeming to be content just staying right there for now. He heard what was asked by Pain, his body tensing up at it some.
"I'm not really sure...the only way I think that would be safest would be to join a pack, but being a hunter until now I'm not sure it'll go well..."
He didn't really want to think about it honestly. Andre had never been taught to actually operate as a hunter if turned into one of the monsters he hunts. In his confusion he hadn't even realized he whined like a puppy as he seemed to snuggle the dancer close.

Vincent couldn't help the smile on his lips as he just snuggled up to Hunter. He was trying to just stay as close as possible to the other, starting to relax his tensed body again. He had shut his eyes for a moment while listening to Hunter talk. He looked up a little surprised that his sister had actually been kind in such a way when she really wasn't too fond of the relationship they had. He still couldn't help to worry though as it meant she must have gotten a kick out of watching him squirm in pain.
"You're lucky to be a werewolf with those healing abilities. I can't wait for you to be back to normal..."
He looked to be on the sleepy side, not one to want to move too much as his throat was very sore and he still couldn't help to wheeze with the slight pain he still had. He had moved his hands to play with one of Hunter's hands, emotionally drained eyes looking at the other's hand curiously.
"Can we just stay here for the night? Please? I need at least a day...I don't want to go into a coughing fit in the car..."
Vincent ended up placing a small, sweet kiss to Hunter's palm, taking a moment to smile at the wolf before starting to look at the other's hand. He just wanted to stay there as he laid back down, head resting against Hunter's chest while he ran a finger over the lines of the wolf's palm.

Pain just smiled some and looked up at Andre, giggling some when Andre picked up him and shift him so he was sitting in his lap. He laid his head on the others shoulder, eyes close and listened to his heart beat. Maybe you should talk to Hunter....isn't he the second in command to the pack or something..... He said.

Hunter knew that Dahlia didn't really approve entirely on Vincent's and his relationship, but he wasn't dating Dahlia...he was dating Vincent and as long as he made the other happy then he would continued to stay with him. He smiled some at what Vincent said about his healing abilities and kissed the messy mop of curls once more.

Same here but now we have to get you back to normal. He replied and sigh.

His smile just brightened when Vincent played a kiss to his palm and started to play with it. Of course....anything you want. He said softly and ran his hand now down the others naked side, not being able to help himself.

Vincent gave a wheezy giggle at the kiss to his hair, this seeming to be a trend with Hunter now. He looked up and smiled at the other wanting him to be normal again too. Well, as normal as he was before he started trying to talk again. he just snuggled close as he stopped playing with Hunter's hand. He had ended up just holding onto the wolf's hand before he visibly squirmed and blushed at a hand running down his side. Skin contact on his torso was not something he was used to and he tired to ignore it for the most part, hiding his face in the wolf's chest but his mind didn't seem to want to let the factor go. His thoughts went to a bit more of inappropriate places, mostly touch based thoughts as he was hiding his face from Hunter. He had been without Hunter for too long it seemed he had gotten used to not having to control his thoughts a bit more. He wasn't even used to having such ideas in his head as he just curled up and tried to get rid of them. It seemed to just be a failed attempt though.
