Rin was holding a knife up to you.
Rin was holding a knife. And it was aimed at you.
You tried to reconcile this with what you knew of Rin—ambitious, sure. Competitive, absolutely. But he was also one of your best friends. When you were kids, your families hadn't mattered. What had changed?
"What the hell are you doing here, Haru?" He hissed in your ear, and you feel a hot anger build in your chest. It's unfamiliar, and even more so because it's directed at Rin. Your Rin.
"Looking for you, asshole. You disappeared," you growl back at him, staring hard at his idiotic sharp teeth. He was your best friend, and he vanished. You'd thought maybe he got injured, or worse, desperate to prove himself a worthy successor to his father and going on reckless assignments for the family.
"You—you stupid—you're in Matsuoka territory, what were you thinking?!"
You shove his hand away, furious at the knife he's still got on you, even while the rest of the family is busy having a loud argument about what to do with you. You don't care. All you care about is—
"I was thinking I had to find you," you tell him, and watch him grimace, and then his expression shifts but you can't quite read it and it's only there for an instant before he throws his beanie on the ground. He runs his hands through his hair in frustration, and then stills. He takes a breath, and another, slowly lowers his hands from his face and glances around the room, chewing on his lip.
"You're such a—come on, quickly, while they're distracted," he whispers, and grabs your arm, dragging you towards the back of the room, quickly and quietly, not looking at you even once.
You don't know what happened, you don't understand why he's mad, but you found him, like you promised. And he hasn't killed you yet, or so much as given you a scratch, even though you're deep in enemy territory, and by all rights you should be fish food.
But you're with Rin, and you're pretty sure the two of you can do anything as long as you're together.

I hope the Prince Charming thing is obvious XD Anyway I already spent too much time on this so here it is
***
Kenma had been pleasantly surprised by both her outfit and the venue. Oikawa’s reputation was truly well deserved considering that the designer had taken one look at her before grabbing his sketchbook and coming up with this gorgeous dress. It was flowy, dreamy, almost princess-like but short enough that she wouldn’t have to worry about stepping on it and humiliating herself in front of every important person that’s a part of the entertainment industry. It didn’t matter that no one would actually know that the tiny dyed blond was actually the Kodzuken, Kenma would leave immediately before going into hiding for months. The venue was surprisingly close to her apartment which had truly been a big factor in her ultimately coming, nevermind the fact that she had promised her manager she would go. The decisive one had been that she would be able to avoid the press as she was invited as staff. Kenma had entered with Keiji through the backdoor, avoiding the spotlights and journalists’ incessant questions. She hadn’t even taken the time to enjoy the quiet when her manager left her side after spotting a potential new artist for a collaboration. Thus, she was left to her own devices.
How could she? Wasn’t she well aware of Kenma’s very very poor social skills? Why did she think she’d be able to talk to others?
Kenma scanned the crowd, looking for a familiar face despite knowing that the celebrities who knew her real face couldn’t have been more than five. As the venue filled out with guests, she found herself getting more and more agitated. Standing at barely 1.55m and not wearing heels, she knew she might just be the shortest person there. Fearing getting suffocated by the crowd, she started making her way to a chair in a corner when she felt compelled to turn. Her eyes widened at the sight greeting her.
The man who was looking at her was simply breathtaking. With black hair, a perfect face and a tall, lean muscular body, there was no way he wasn’t a model. Kenma, at the very least, would definitely hire him.
She stood there, completely mesmerised for a while, and seemingly forgetting all about leaving. She didn’t notice her personal space slowly getting more packed with people until what she had feared happened. Big, beautiful, busy, and more importantly, absent-minded people almost walked all over her as they floated around, barely avoiding injuring her as they all seemed to notice her at the very last moment. Kenma was starting to feel like she was in a concert and spared a quick, admirative thought to all the very small fans she always spotted in the mosh pit of her concerts. She was decidedly never going back there.
However, as more and more guests kept coming, she literally got swept away. She was bouncing from one body to another, always apologising with a voice too small to be heard in the commotion, and was really starting to get dizzy when a strong hand gripped her bare shoulder and pulled her out of the deadly flow.
“Hey! Are you okay?!”
The concern in his voice was obvious and, coupled with the closeness and the warm, reddish eyes that were looking directly at her, made her heart pound.
She shook her head before looking elsewhere, trying desperately to sound like she was not just ogling at this Adonis of a man with his soft smile, sweet flowery scent and body-hugging costume.
“Y- yes.. Thank you.”
He chuckled, a beautiful sound that drew Kenma’s eyes to him once again, like a magnet. Or like a moth to a flame, or so the saying went.
“No worries. I’m just glad you’re okay. They should really be watching where they’re going. Indoors and with so many people, it could quickly go wrong.”
She threw a quick glance behind her where people were plastering themselves against each other, moving to the music that had started. She nodded slowly.
“Yes. Thank you, once again. I’m not.. very good with crowds.”
“Oh, I see. Not the party type. Well, to be honest, neither am I”
Kenma’s eyes widened in surprise and he laughed.
“Why so surprised?”
Her cheeks flushed. She hadn’t meant to be so effusive.
“Well, you look-”
“What?”
The stranger’s handsome face leaned into her.
He must not have heard her.
She cleared her throat and raised her voice.
“Well. You look-”
-like an idol!
“-at ease.”
“Ah. Yes, I guess I do. Well, it’s part of the job description, isn’t it? It would be bad for business if I looked annoyed or bored out of my mind. The party is more for the celebrities. It’s a professional setting for us, the staff, at the end of the day.”
She looked confused for a second before remembering that she was here undercover with a staff entry pass.
“Ah, yes. The staff.”
Wait. The STAFF??
She did a double take on the man as discreetly as possible but he wouldn’t have noticed anyway as he was busy looking at the crowd.
Adonis in front of her, the most attractive man she had ever met was NOT an idol??
She was still trying to wrap her head around that revelation when he looked down at her and belatedly noticed that his hand was still on her. He yanked it back, holding both hands apologetically.
“Sorry! I promise that I wasn't trying to do anything weird or creepy, I-”
He hit his head with his open palm.
“Damn, I forgot to introduce myself! I’m so sorry I must be all over the place tonight. I’m Kuroo Tetsurô.”
He searched his suit before flashing her a small smile.
“I’m out of business cards…”
She chuckled. He looked so distraught, and she found it incredibly endearing.
“Kenma. And it’s okay. I don’t have any either. As beautiful as this dress is, it didn't come with pockets.”
They looked at each other warmly for a few seconds, just enjoying each other's company.
“You know-”
Kuroo started, but didn’t finish. He had looked up at the crowd behind her once again.
“Oh. Look, I’m very sorry but I have to take my leave.”
Kenma tried to get a look at who must have just caught his eye, fighting in vain against the disapproval and jealousy to take over.
His eyes caressed her face one last time.
“It was a pleasure, Kenma. I’m sure we’ll be seeing each other.”
He bowed at her before disappearing into the crowd.

Kaoru had been cursed with knowledge. Most called it a blessing, but after his 16th birthday, he had opened his eyes to what it really was.
It was a curse, a nightmare, a purgatory before his fate would be decided on the 7th of July, tilting the scale towards either heaven or hell.
How else was he supposed to interpret it? The name on his waist had branded him as someone’s while giving no indication as to whether the courtesy would even be returned when the time came. Months in his own head wondering, tormenting himself with one question that had plagued his thoughts.
Could they be one-sided soulmates?
Kaoru knew nothing good could come out of him worrying. And yet, he always found himself browsing the Internet, searching for an answer that would never come up there.
He couldn’t ignore it either. The concealing patch playing the role of a way too small band aid on his love issue.
In this dark time, he found a solace. The lettering was simply so beautiful that Kaoru felt like a wanted teenager in his culpability of covering it up instead of showing it off to the world. The way, he supposed; it had been intended. At least, in the safety of his lone presence, he gave it the admiration it deserved. Cared for it with the devotion he usually kept well-hidden. Caressed it with his fingertips. Whatever he couldn’t give to its eponymous owner would be bestowed upon the perfectly traced lines. A few moments stolen every day, he would crack his heart open in the refuge of his bathroom to his mark. He wouldn’t dare to think about exposing himself in such an intimate way to the person who bore the name. The lines could never disappear.. no matter the outcome he was dreading
Kaoru hadn’t rested since the 27th of May, but that’s the night he didn’t sleep. The sun blindsided him on that morning where the moon had been his last delay.
Still, that ruthless day came.
Left with the night, phone still black, he let his skate guide him to their usual skating place.
Despite the early sun rays, he found he wasn’t alone.
Kojiro stared incredulously at him.
“Kaoru?”
Shit.
He couldn’t possibly turn away now, right?
“Uh. Hi.. Koji-”
“What are you doing here?”
Kaoru’s eyebrow twitched.
“Well I could ask you the same thing! It’s ass o’clock in the morning, you should be home in bed Mister student Council President.”
“Well, so should you!”
“I’m a delinquent! And I had a lot on my mind!”
“I had a lot on my mind too!”
That got Kaoru’s attention.
“You do? Are you worried about midterms again?”
He passed his hand between his green locks and sighed.
“Do you really think midterms would be what keeps me awake the night of my 16th birthday?”
Kaoru started fidgeting, nervous now that the subject was up in the air.
His eyes looked at the floor and his hand rested on his waist.
The mark felt warm.
“I see…”
“Was it the same for you? On your 16th birthday, did you get any sleep?”
He contemplated lying, but it was Kojiro. And the air definitely was filled with a solemnity he instinctively knew he shouldn’t break.
“Yeah…”
He waited for a follow-up question, but it didn’t seem like Kojiro was going to ask any. Just like ever since his birthday. Kaoru would be lying if he said had been dreading being questioned. And when he wasn’t, he had felt equally relieved and disappointed. Just another piece of evidence to add to his list that Kojiro obviously didn’t care about who his soulmate was. It was a good quality to find in his childhood-slash-best friend. And a terrible one in his lifelong crush. They just comically happened to be the same person.
He looked up to see Kojiro nodding, eyes on the horizon, at his most vulnerable. Kaoru hopped off his skate and approached him.
“Hey, it’s gonna be ok, you know? Whether you have a mark or not and no matter what it says. You-”
-will still have me. But will I have you?
“-will figure it out.”
Kojiro frowned before turning towards him. Their faces were now only a few feet apart. A little far by their standards of usual closeness, but more intimate than ever.
“...did you?”
The wind had carried the whisper to Kaoru’s ears. His eyes widened and he huffed.
“Really?”
“Oh, shit. Look, I'm sorry. Please ignore this! I didn’t mean to say it out loud-”
“So you did want to ask me-”
“Kaoru, I’m so sorry I wasn’t-”
“-all this time? I thought-”
“-thinking! It slipped out-”
“-that you didn’t care.”
“-without my What?”
Despite being asked directly, Kaoru stayed silent. However this time, it seemed like Kojiro had much to say.
“You thought I didn’t care?”
A beat passed. He nodded.
“Oh my God, Kaoru! How could you ever think that I wouldn’t care??”
He swapped a hand through his face and let out a nervous laugh.
“All this time I’ve been holding back because I thought you didn’t want to talk about it!”
“What!?”
He threw his hands in the air in utter disbelief.
“Well, I don’t know! You looked so grumpy when you showed up that morning and you never brought it up yourself so I didn’t ask!”
Kaoru let out a beleaguered sigh.
“You’re truly an idiot, Nanjo Kojiro.”
“Hey! If you wanted to talk about it, you could have just told me! I’m here, you know.”
Kaoru stared as he hit his chest.
But for how long?
Kojiro blinked and his mouth slowly opened.
Realising that he had just said that out loud, he closed his eyes, heat creeping up his cheeks.
A warm hand gripped his.
“Hey, Kaoru.”
The voice was so impossibly sweet and Kaoru was all tired out from every restless night wondering and turning around in his bed that had led up to him misspeaking. He let himself melt into the embrace.
Kojiro cleared up his throat.
“Look, you were right. Marks and all that, it doesn’t matter. We’ve never needed them before. We’ve always made our own path in life and I’m not going anywhere. Well, no I’ll go to Italy for my internship but just because I’m leaving Okinawa, temporarily I might add, doesn’t mean I’m leaving you, you know.”
Kaoru slowly brought his arms around Kojiro’s shoulders and squeezed back.
“Do you promise?”
Kojiro chuckled.
“Are you kidding me? I’ve spent too much time trying to get you to be my friend just to leave for literally no reason! If you want me out of your life, you’ll have to forcefully kick me out of it. But I must warn you first : I’m not giving up without a fight.”
Kaoru fought back the smile threatening to stretch out his lips.
“Idiot.”

Kaoru was going to have a breakdown. No matter how long he had spent carefully planning it for months, it seemed that everything was falling apart 48 hours before the big day.
He even had to take Carla off because she was going on and on about his heart rate and blood pressure and threatening to call Kojiro to help… and Kaoru really didn’t have time for that. He was busy saving his own wedding, damnit!
He was in fact so busy that he didn’t hear the front door opening and he jumped when he felt strong arms circling him.
“Shhh, calm down Princess. It’s just me.”
“You scared me, idiot! And what are you doing here? Don’t you have a restaurant to run or vegetables to chop or something?”
“I did! And then in the middle of the service, I received an ominous phone call from Miya who told me that if I still wanted to get married then I better go home right now. So, here I am.”
Kaoru sniffed.
“I’ll be honest when I saw the mess I first thought that we had been robbed. Then I find you crying surrounded by wedding stuff?”
He frowned, lifting a hand to, indeed, find his cheeks wet.
He groaned.
“I-”
“Before you lie or try to undermine the situation to me, I want to remind you that in 48 hours we’ll be married and that all your problems will legally be mine.”
“I was not going to lie.”
“But you were gonna downplay the problem.”
Kaoru carefully avoided looking in his fiancé’s direction.
“It’s not downplaying. I-”
“Just spill it, Karoru.”
“Fine!”
He sighed.
“We don’t have a wedding planner anymore.”
Kojiro turned his face to meet his eyes that were already filled with tears again.
“What?”
“Our wedding planner. Takahashi-san. She went into labour this morning. She is now on maternity leave.”
Kojiro gave him an incredulous look.
“But…. but she was, what, 8 months pregnant? She wasn’t due until next month?”
“Yeah, tell me about it.”
“Wait, hold on Kaoru. You said ‘this morning’, is that how long you’ve known?”
He nodded, throat constricting as a sob threatened to escape.
“I woke up and checked my emails and there was one from her secretary with all the documents about everything for the wedding…”
He looked around the room.
“And I’ve tried to organise and arrange them but some things that still needed to be checked and confirmed got cancelled since Takahashi-san wasn’t responding to them and I-”
Next thing he knew, his face was being cushioned between his fiancé’s pecs. It had an immediate calming effect on him.
“Shhh, you’re panicking again babe. It’s gonna be okay, I promise.”
“Okay? Kojiro, we don't have catering anymore! Or a cake! And I only got the dinner orchestra back because their agent is apparently a fan of my work! Nothing is okay!”
Strong hands cupped his face and his gold eyes met warm red.
“Look at me Kaoru. It’s gonna be okay. I’ll provide the catering, if that can make you feel better.”
“But- but it’s your wedding too! You shouldn’t have to work.”
He laughed.
“Kaoru, babe. Cooking is my career, yes, but it’s also my passion. I love cooking! That’s a big part of who I am, as a person I actually find that fitting for me to cater for my own wedding. And yes 48 hours is short notice but we were already going to close the restaurant anyway, we’ll just close a day early and see who in my crew is up for the challenge. Besides, we have less than 100 guests. I've been to toddlers’ birthday parties bigger than that.”
Kaoru playfully hit his arm.
“Your niblings are popular terrors.”
“Guess that must run in the family.”
Kaoru snorted.
“Ah ha! I made you laugh.”
A light red hue tinted his cheeks.
“You’re a clown.”
“I’ll be whatever you want me to be. And I really wish you had told me about this earlier. How did Miya even find out?”
“I may have called him in a panic asking if he would do some tricks to entertain the guests during dinner before I got the email confirming the orchestra was back on track.”
Kojiro roared with laughter.
“I was desperate!”
“Yeah, I gathered that!”
“I can’t believe I’m being mocked by a green-haired gorilla.”
“You’re marrying that green-haired gorilla. Wonder what that says about you, Pinky.”
“If there’s even still a marriage.”
“God, you’re so mean. How sexy of you.”
He started leaving kisses down his neck
“Stop distracting me! I’m actually trying to save our marriage here. I’m gonna think it's your doing as a last attempt to get out of marrying me.”
Kojiro gasped.
“How could you ever think that? I didn’t scribble Sakurayashiki Kojiro and Nanjo Kaoru in my notebooks all of my school years to suffer such slander!”
He bumped their foreheads together.
“Better?”
Kaoru nodded.
“Oddly enough. My brain knows that nothing is ready and that technically it could all fall through but I’m not panicking.”
“Why the long face? It’s a good thing!”
“Stress motivates me and helps me achieve my goals.”
“I promise, Kaoru, that you don’t need stress for that. Also I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be stressed at your own wedding.”
“I’m sorry but have you met me?”
He chuckled.
“Well, yes I know all about anxious Kaoru. Believe me. What I’m saying is that I don’t want to see him at our wedding. Only happy Kaoru is allowed!”
He opened his mouth, ready to protest but Kojiro wasn’t done.
“Isn’t that the whole reason why we hired a wedding planner? To have a stress free wedding? What was her catchphrase again? Ah yes : Your only job at your wedding, is to say “I do.””
“That was the plan. But I’m pretty sure it went out the window the second she started having contractions.”
“Nope! Not allowed. It’s still 48 hours too early to panic. Which is short, I know but Takahashi-san has already laid out the groundwork for us. We just need to find the suppliers’ numbers and call them! And the invoices and stuff.”
He gave him a quick peck on the lips.
“So! Now, I’m gonna call the team back at the restaurant to inform them that they’ve just been hired to cater a wedding and to inform the customers that Sia La Luce is closing starting from tonight. Then, together, we will come up with a menu and deal with all of those papers. Okay?”
Kaoru let himself fall back into his chest and let out a content sigh.
“Okay.”

I took the prompt a little liberally but should still be ok with the vibe
***
Atsumu was pacing in Onigiri Miya’s kitchen, much to his brother’s dismay.
“Come on Tsumu I swear you’re stressing over nothing.”
“Nothing!? Samu, this is the love of my life!”
He pointed towards the swing door.
The owner rolled his eyes.
“Dramatic. Typical.”
“Awww, come on Samu! A little bit of empathy here?”
“It’s been 6 years, Tsumu. 6 years of hearing about your fucking crush on stupid Sakusa. I ran out of empathy.”
“Mean. Uh, I need another brother.”
“And what if, wild idea I know, instead of talking to me or this imaginary brother about how much you liked him, you just confessed to the guy? Then you get rejected, you cry to me about it, we go drinking and you get over it!”
Atsumu slumped over the counter.
“I’m never getting over him. Be serious, Samu. It’s been 6 years! Haven’t seen him for like 4 of them. I’m doomed if he rejects me.. I’ll spend the rest of my life liking him in secret while he goes on to become an Olympic champion, gets married and makes beautiful babies with someone who is not me!”
Osamu nodded.
“Dramatic. Typical.”
“Samu!”
Fed up with the never ending, familiar conversation, he got up and headed towards the door.
“Wait, where are you going?”
“I’m gonna do what you don’t have the guts to do.”
“NO.”
The door swung once. Then another when Atsumu ran after his brother.
“You can’t do this to me, Samu!”
“No, you can’t keep doing this to me, Tsumu!”
He turned to face him.
“Look. I love you like a brother-”
“I am your brother you scrub!”
“-but if you keep whining to me about Sakusa I’m gonna kill either him or you. Also, that ain’t healthy. You gotta know, Tsumu. The uncertainty is slowly killing you.”
Atsumu was looking at the floor.
“Tell me, how much have you slept since Sakusa joined MSBY?”
He bit his lip.
“That’s what I thought.”
“But what if-”
“Shhh. No wondering. We want certainty here. We don’t live on what ifs. We don’t need memories, right? That’s because we work towards the future. We give it our all and don’t live with regrets.”
Atsumu raised an eyebrow.
“You want me to live up to our volleyball high school club?”
“Ok, then I’ll call Kita and Aran-”
“No, no, no! I’ll confess, I’ll confess.”
Osamu nodded.
“Good.”
“Jerk.”
Osamu woke up to the special ringing tone he had set up for Atsumu only. Half-conscious, and a little worried once he had glanced at the time, he accepted the call.
“He said yes!! He said yes!! Samu, Omi said yes!!”
His brain took a little time to catch up but when it did, Osamu found he was too tired, and relieved to care that he had just been awoken. By his very accurate estimation, he assumed Atsumu was drunk. He wouldn’t have been able to confess sober after all.
“Good. Now you’ll stop crying about how hot you think Sakusa is to me.”
He heard giggling. Definitely drunk then.
“Uhh, Omi is so hot! I can’t believe he’s finally gonna fuck me-”
He hit the red button with incredible speed and accuracy considering he still had his eyes closed.
Maybe forcing Atumu to confess was a mistake.

So this is their first meeting and I like to think that it's more fluff than anything XD Atsumu is in wolf form because it's the full moon but it's not mentioned
Also Kiyoomi is there because he's only half vampire and he's a bit of an enigma blabla
***
Kiyoomi took a seat beside his stepmother and his siblings sat protectively around him. His father was standing around the stage since he was the one presenting their case to this month’s creatures council. He was once again stricken by the uncanny resemblance between the two of them, the kind that left no doubt over their relationship.
He felt nervous as the different fantastical breeds entered the amphitheatre. His stepmother put a reassuring hand on his shoulder that left him lighter. That is, until the session started. His heart was beating so hard in his chest that what little blood he possessed, although more than the average since he was only half vampire, pumped loudly in his ears, effectively drowning the sounds around him. He could vaguely hear that it was very loud but at that time, he had assumed it was because of the echo in the huge room of what humans would say is the town hall.
He felt a sharp pain on his side that brought him back.
“Kiyo-chan, come with me.”
His stepmother’s grip on his arm would certainly leave a bruise but he ignored it in favour of finding out what had her so worried.
To say that there was a commotion on the stage would be an understatement. In between his brothers’ figures that stood protectively in front of him, he saw what looked like an animal. It was large and covered in fur and it was staring at him, trying desperately to get to him and gaining distance despite other werewolves’ best efforts to contain him.
Oddly enough, he didn’t feel scared at all and not just because his vampire genes would not allow him to die easily. He didn’t feel any maleficent intent from the werewolf and he was, for a lack of better word, intrigued. Werewolves and vampires were not at each other’s throats like they used to millennials ago but it was fair to say that a certain animosity persisted between them. As such, Kiyoomi didn’t know any werewolf. He knew of them and had seen some from afar before and that was it. He didn’t have the slightest clue as to why one of them would seek him out so readily.
He just couldn’t keep his eyes off the young wolf and he also couldn’t actually be sure that he wasn’t set on attacking him for whatever reason. And Kiyoomi was always so careful.
Which is probably why, when he finally stood up and lightly pushed his brothers aside to walk toward him, they made no move to stop him, so dumbfounded by the unlikely action that they were.
He heard them scream but paid them no mind and it didn’t take him long to come face to face with him.
“Stay back!”
Kiyoomi momentarily broke eye contact to look at his father. He was uncharacteristically out of breath, his hand tight around his wrist and he only registered the fleeting thought that it might just have been the first time his father had touched him. He wiggled out of his grasp before smiling faintly.
“Don’t worry. It’s gonna be okay.”
He raised his hand and the assembly effectively held its breath as the teenage vampire reached for the seemingly unhinged animal.
His hand made contact with the surprisingly soft fur.
And the wolf came to a halt and, to the surprise of everyone, Kiyoomi included, he purred.
After a moment of the sound echoing in the room, the woman holding on to him completely let go.
The wolf, now free, launched himself into Kiyoomi’s arms making them fall on the cold tiled floor. The vampire broke his fall by holding onto the wolf, only to feel something wet.
Curious, he looked at his palm and saw blood. Instantly, his body reacted. He felt his canines throb as they elongated in his mouth and his blood boiled in his body. He had never experienced such thirst before, like he had been lost in the desert for days.
Impossible.
Vampires didn’t drink werewolves’ blood. It wasn’t exactly poisonous, but it wasn’t something vampires could digest, for lack of a better explanation. As such, they instinctively could recognise werewolves’ blood and were naturally disgusted by it. He gulped down. With this damning piece of evidence, Kiyoomi had an educated guess as to what was going on, unlike everyone else in the amphitheatre.
But it was… crazy. Absolute madness. Whoever thought it would be a brilliant idea was definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed.
He almost didn’t want to confirm his theory, but he knew he had to. If only for his piece of mind. He surreptitiously brought the liquid to his mouth and licked the substance. He almost started purring himself. There was no doubt left, no excuses. The wolf who was nicely snuggled against him, muzzle buried in his neck was his soulmate. And judging by the scene the wolf had just made, it was most likely mutual.
