Bearclaw Valley [M] this love that came like a wind

It wasn't Scarlett's fault that she could not read him; none could, really. It was a skill he had acquired early in his childhood. Romans were expected to be stoic to a certain extent, but when you had a father like Aku.....well....you tend to be an expert at hiding your emotions from an early age or you would earn yourself a terrible beating. So he, his littermates and his various half siblings were all forced to grow up far too early, pain being the main motivator. It was sad, but he didn't regret developing this particular skill early in his childhood; after all, it helped him a lot now that he was a grown up — no, he didn't really think himself as 'grown up'; now that he was older. Yeah, older worked.

Raziel scowled, muttering a stream of extremely rude profanities under his breath when Scarlett said that if Kove stuck around, then the pups would most likely not think of him as a father. Dude, like, seriously. The Inuit was a terrible, terrible fucking father. Like, even if he stuck around, surely no one would be a fool enough to think of him as...dad..right? Ugh. He gave up trying to think of how anyone could like the disloyal, traitorous Inuit. He didn't need himself to get all worked up just because of that pathetic good for nothing jerk.


Reason? Dude, of course he would have a reason. Are you that.....ugh. I can't even. "Scarlett," he said with barely concealed exasperation. "Of course he would have a reason, he wants to win you back you know. And then you'll forgive him once you hear his so 'valid' reason and I'll be the second best all fucking over again. Like...I can literally see history repeating itself." He didn't mean to get all worked up...actually, strike that, he meant to get all worked up because seriously...this mother effing shit won't fly. He wouldn't be the little mermaid anymore, he refused to be there just to burst into sea foam once she was done using him.

Raziel glanced at her with bright turquoise and sighed softly before he pulled her gently into his arms; pulled her into a wolfish hug. He missed her, he missed her so much.
