Becoming the Luna

Chapter 275

"Baby? V? Wake up!" Hayden tugs on his husband's arm, getting nowhere when Virgil still remains fast asleep.

He couldn't even remember when he had gotten to bed, most likely, he had fallen asleep back in Virgil's office and then his mate stayed up so late working.

"Virgil??!!" He tries harder, losing his balance and tumbling back on the bed.

"Ugh!" He groans in frustration, he knew Virgil wouldn't want to spend the night there but unless they didn't want to have to make a night journey back, they would have to leave early.

He crawls across the bed and right over Virgil, legs on both sides of the Alpha's torso...

His sensitive senses hit him occasionally like waking up from a daydream, it was like having a blocked up ear or a clogged nose and finally getting rid of it.

At first, the awareness of how clearer and louder everything was stuck with you, how easy it was to breathe, constantly on your mind but then you start to get used to it, only occasionally remembering.

He's tempted to lick Virgil's face but that's a weird urge, he has taken to blaming his recent occasional weird urges on the fact that he's now a Werewolf but he goes with it this time, balancing his weight with his hand on Virgil's shoulders.

He leans forward and licks one of his closed eye first, giggling quietly to himself when he comes away with a tangy-salty taste.

He makes a face but isn't disgusted, metal grey irises melding to a soft amber glow as he leans forward for another wet lick.

He pushes his hair out of his face with a hand, getting invested in his mission when Virgil squirms a bit, a soft furrow forming between his brows.

Holding his hair out of his face with a hand, Hayden leans forward again, a sneaky smile on his face, fangs sharp.

He doesn't expect Virgil to make a move though, nearly losing his balance when Virgil's electric blue eyes get revealed, staring directly up at him with a smug smile as he leans up to claim Hayden's lips.

His hand covering Hayden's own on his hair as he deepens the kiss, licking into his mate's mouth.

Hayden is startled at first but easily gives in to the searing kiss, body melding with Virgil.

"You know," Virgil muses when Hayden comes up for air. "You're better than any alarm clock."

Hayden just swats him on the shoulder good naturedly, making a move to crawl off his husband's body. "Come on, we have a journey ahead of us today."

Virgil easily captures him by the waist, preventing him from leaving the bed, making Hayden gasp in shock.

"V..." 

"Shower with me?" Virgil mumbles, eyes half closed, still hugging his mate close.

Hayden weighs this option, knowing that showering together would definitely cause a delay, Virgil didn't even have to make love to him for that to happen.

"Fine." He acquiesces. "But you'll get out of bed right now." He bargains.

"Deal." Virgil accepts without hesitation, making a move to leave the bed and carrying his mate along with him.

Hayden laughs a little. "I can walk, you know."

Virgil's response is a vague hum and Hayden can tell that he's still really sleepy but he doesn't mind one bit even though he has to help his sleepy lover get undressed, the soft sleepy smile on Virgil's face was enough of a plus.

Showering together is actually faster than Hayden had anticipated considering the amount of time that his pleasured cries had reverberated inside the glass walls.

"Your phone is ringing, baby!" Virgil calls from somewhere in the bedroom while Hayden tries to whip up a quick breakfast and for a brief moment Hayden imagines what life would have been like if they were both humans, worked nine to five jobs and had normal concerns like who would be the next to go grocery shopping.

"Who is it?" He calls back, going for a simple breakfast of cereal and fruit salad but he also needed to pack up sandwiches for the ride or they could visit a drive thru.

"Renee!"

"Well, pick it, she's probably calling to check if I'm already on my way!" He replies, moving swiftly around the kitchen.

They had both decided to leave Apple at Julia's for one more day, they wouldn't be around today anyway, it was for the best.

"Virgil! Come eat breakfast!" He calls to his mate, packing up a couple sandwiches, knowing Virgil, they would still have to stop for more food.

"Your phone is ringing again!" Is Virgil's response.

Hayden frowns. "Is it my mom again? What did you tell her?"

"No, it's not, it's Shana... and she sent a voicemail."

"What does it say?" Hayden asks in amusement at the tangible exasperation in Virgil tone.

"She's checking to see if you're still alive, I'm going to tell her no." He hears Virgil decide and shakes his head fondly.

"Whatever, just come eat."

Hayden is sure to not forget his present for his Aunt, a beautiful quilt he had bought at a thrift store in Paper Town on one of those days that Mae or his mom had convinced him to go there.

His mom ringing non-stop to check up on him was also distracting and Virgil had to calm him down with a hug... a couple times.

His phone rings one last time just as they make it to the last floor and he sees it's Dream and he feels a little pang of guilt, he would call him back on the journey there.

It also wasn't helping that this was the first time he was leaving the fourth floor in days, his scent out on display.

He wasn't sure which hit harder, the expressive looks of shocks or the enthusiastic greetings that had them calling him Luna, straight to his face, that rarely happened before.

Virgil puts the bags in the backseat and pulls in his mate for a sweet, little kiss, uncaring that they were in the parking lot at the busiest time of the day.

Hayden doesn mind though, his raving heart calming down when he gets covered in a wave of Virgil's scent aimed at soothing his nerves, it worked perfectly.
