He walked to the bed room and noticed Shiro was asleep so he slowly backed then followed the cub. "so buddy wanna go for a little run?" rather then bark and wake Shiro the cub just waked to the door and sat down. He opened the front door and both he and the cub ran out.

Soon Shiro's dreams got calmer. Letting out a soft sigh he turned on the other side and nuzzled his cheek against the warm pillow.

He took off his shoes, pants and shirt "Ahhhh nothing like the feeling of wind against your skin, Pup you ready? Ready set Run!" he said darting of the front steps and running strait into the forest with Pup at his heels "Hey your getting faster! Let's see how fast you really are!" he shouted picking up speed with a wide grin on his face.

After about two or three hours Shiro woke up. Sitting up on the bed he realised that the soreness in his back lessened. Slowly he tried to stand up and sighted in relief when he managed to do that. Nodding to himself he went to the kitchen. Seeing there a half empty glass with water he started to drink. His hands still hurt but much less than before, making it possible to hold the glass. His thirst sated he took a book with him and went back to his bed. After all there wasn't much he could do with his hands still like that.

He and Pup had ran together for almost an hour, then played for a while, before resting under a tree with Pup asleep on his stomach for almost an hour and a half. He woke up then shook the wolf cub gently to wake him up "Ahhh that was fun wasn't it?" he said sitting up when Pup hopped off his stomach. "We should probably head back and check on the stew." he said standing "Alright if we just run it will most likely burn, here I'll get up back quick..... here we go." he said picking up the wolf cub and shifting arriving back at the house "were home!." he said picking up his cloths and opening the door for he and the wolf cub.

"Welcome home", said Shiro loudly after hearing Alexen. "Where were you?"

"Thanks! He and I want for a run then we played around and took a nap so we came back to check on dinner. Did you sleep well?" he said walking to the stove and checking on dinner "Dinner is ready!"

"No. Not really.. Some things..", he paused, realising that he was speaking way too quiet for the other to hear.

When he didn't get a response he took the pot off the stove and walked to the bedroom "Shiro? Everything ok?" he asked sitting at the foot of the bed.

"It's fine. I just rwalised that you didn't hear me", he answered right away.

"Alright dinners ready, would you like me to bring it here or would you prefer going to the kitchen? Either way is fine." he asked with a smile "Oh and I'll change your bandages after we eat."

"That is a good idea. About bandages. And we can eat outside if you prefer?", he proposed, wondering if the other would like that idea.

He smiled "that sounds really nice accually, you need me to carry you?" he asked standing up.

"Well.. I tried walking and it was fine.. though still hurt", he said, shrugging since he wasn't sure what to answer.

"I don't want to see you in pain so I'll carry you." he said moving close to Shiro "But first let's get you dressed, I don't want anyone but me seeing that perfect body of yours" he said with a wink.

"Very funny", muttered Shiro yet still his cheeks flushed from embarrassment.

"I'm serious." he said picking Shiro's clothes off the floor and helping him get dressed. "I'll carry you outside then I'll grab the dinner and bring it out, is that ok?"

"That is great actually. And.. in the woods... everything was fine?", he asked, wondering.

"Yep he and I had a blast and I made sure to stay under the trees when me and Pup took a nap, just like you said to to stay safe. You should come on a run with us sometime it's fun." he said told him as he carried him outside "Hey bud keep Shiro company while I get dinner." the wold cub did as he was told and followed the outside.

Shiro thanked the demon when he was placed down on the stairs.
"Thank you very much", he said and then looked at Pup. "Will you bite me.. well I want to pet you.."

He went inside and filled up 2 bowls with the stew and grabbed to spoons and brought them outside. When he walked out he saw Pup sitting next to Shiro and it made him smile, they were finnaly bonding.

"Do you like your name?", asked Shiro, wanting to see if the wolf cub would be able to understand.

"I hope he does, I'll feel terrible about giving him a name he doesn't like." he said as he watched the wolf cubs tail go done and dropping it's head barking once. He frowned "I'm sorry I gave you a name you didn't like, we can give you a new one it's ok." he said petting it's hand and watching it's tail wagging again "Shiro you mind helping out to find a name he likes?"

"Hmmm.. would like... Stout maybe?", he asked, wondering if the pup would like it. "It means though.. a.d few other things..."

Both he and the cub looked at Shiro "What are the different meanings? And I was thinkin a badass name like Aries! he was the Greek god of war! Warriors would would pray to him for victory before fighting! he said getting all excited, anything that had to do with wars and battles always got him hyped.

"Fine. ... If you two want then fine...", he muttered, feeling kind of awkward and not really knowing why.

He looked at Shiro "what's wrong, did I say something wrong?" he asked sitting down next to Shiro.

"No. Not really. Everything is alright. So.. how do you want to call your pup? Ares?", he asked, smiling. "It is a good name.. even if indicating... something agressive."

"He isn't aggressive but he is strong do you like that name? Aries?." he asked getting two barks in response. "Then it's settled Ares it is." he said grinning at the wolf cub. "We should probably start eating before the food gets cold."

"Ares likes it so.. And yes. Eating sounds like a good idea. By the way.. my hands seems to get better. I think one more day and.. Though you wanted to learn how to do healing ointments. I can teach you after dinner, if you want", he proposed.

"That sounds like a great idea.....do you need help with your spoon?" he said taking a quick bite of his stew before placing it down next to him.

"If you wouldn't mind then please...", he said, knowing all too well it was to early to try eating by himself.

"Not a problem." he said smiling and picking up Shiros bowl and readied the first bite. He held it up near Shiros mouth "last time I made the stew it was kind of made quickly but I made it the right way this time so be sure to let me know what you think."

Shiro nodded and took a first bite. He smiled as he chewed, letting out a sight of delight. Alexen was really a great cook.

He had a soft smile on his face, it was nice to have someone who enjoyed his cooking. He readied another bite for Shiro "I'm glad you like it, it's nice to have someone who appreciates my cooking.

"That I can promise you - I always appreciate your cooking~", he said, really happy when eating good food.

He smiled and helped Shiro finish his dinner before Starting on his own. "hey um what would you think about maybe....us sharing the bed tonight?" he asked looking at Shiro and taking a bite.

Licking his lips clean he slowly nodded.
"I think.. you earned yourself sleeping together..", he said, actually curious about the whole thing.

He was accually very excited about this, this would be the first time he and Shiro will be sharing a bed. "I hope you don't mind that I sleep naked." he said taking another bite not taking his eyes off Shiro

Shiro blinked few times and then blushed deeply.
"N.. no. You will be wearing something to y- your sleep..", he protested.
