Dancing Like Animals {Wolf/Mako/Carter}

[Deleted]

Two friends who had traveled thousands of miles together had rarely been separated for the majority of their lives. Being shipped to an island hidden behind a layer of dense fog would hardly cause that to cease now. The duo proved their point as they laid curled together in Sophia’s dorm, fast asleep. Wolf having come sometime in the early morning hours to sooth her from yet another nightmare, more frequent now that she couldn’t be with him all the time. Nuzzling closer in her sleep Sophie was quite content being wrapped in Wolf’s arms, finally getting the sleep she needed. Anytime she woke she simply thought just a few more minutes which quickly lead to the afternoon to fade away.

It wasn’t long before her sensitive ears began to pick up the stir of other girls beginning to get ready for the Valentine’s Day dance. The constant rustling of dresses moving, hair being styled and shuffle of make-up bags eventually drew the shape shifter from her sleep. Yawning slightly she rolled over and looked at the time, “Sheisse!” She murmured rolling completely out of the bed. Of course they were late. Frowning Sophie shook Wolf’s shoulder before nearly running out the door, sill in the shorts and tank top she slept in. Sophie couldn’t believe that she let this happen! Especially when she had been so excited beforehand.

Taking no time at all she applied a bit of make up in the bathroom. Mainly mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss. After going so long without having anything on her face it felt odd to apply it again. Then she took a few minutes to tame the wild beast that was her hair. She let her hair fall around her shoulders, brushing through it a few times to it give it a natural wave. With that she returned to the dorm and found Wolf still sleeping on her bed. Picking up a boot she chucked it at him, “Get up already! We’re going to be late!” A slight whine in her voice as she took her dress out of the closet.

Smiling at the smooth black fabric she again disappeared, fleeing to the bathroom which held the full length mirror. Stripping and slipping it over her slightly tanned skin she came out, fighting her way for a glance as she smoothed out the fabric, tugging it down slightly. It fit like a gem. Making her way back to the dorm she was nearly glowing. It only made her happier to see that Wolf was nearly done getting dress himself. Slipping on her boots Sophie looked over at him struggling with a tie. Taking a few short steps she moved his hands away, shaking her head gently, “What would you do without me?” She questioned straightening it out.

The last step was slipping on an old ring, a bracelet, and a necklace. She particularly loved the necklace, three detailed wolf heads surrounding a moonstone. Touching it gently she turned and placed a hand on her hip, “Ready?” She questioned looking him up and down. Sophie couldn’t help but notice how handsome he looked when he cleaned up. It brought a soft smile to her lips, one only meant for his eyes. Taking his large hand in hers she dragged him out of the room, excitement setting in again. “We’re already late for meeting Mako and Carter, I want to actually talk to them for once!” She said, picking up her pace a bit.

Once arriving she paused for a moment taking in the decorations. Her mouth forming a small ‘o’ as her eyes took in all the decorations, the gym was done up beautifully. Prying her eyes from the surroundings she looked around the crowd searching for Carter and Mako. Pouting slightly she couldn’t find them and there were far too many scents in the room, with the bodies so packed together she couldn’t sniff them out. Not that she knew their scent very well to begin with. “Do you see them?” She asked, looking up at Wolf curiously, maybe with his height he’d have a bit of an advantage. Unless they found the pair of wolves first, of course.

"I am not nervous. I am not nervous." He refused to admit it. He was a shark! Sharks didn't get nervous. But his vitals said otherwise. Heart rate 102. Respiration at 20 breaths per minute. He was nervous as hell. And he knew it. Mako was standing on the beach, trying to psyche himself up. This was crazy. Two months ago he never would have even considered going to a dance. Much less believed he would have a date to one. But then Carter had come along, and confused the hell out of him. He'd barely believed the words himself when they'd passed his lips. "Do you...maybe...wanna go to the Valentine's dance...with me?"That was by far the most non-predatory thing he had ever said. Ever.

He pulled at the lapels of his suit jacket. SUIT jacket. He was wearing a suit. Was he really wearing a suit? Apparently so. The clothing felt strange. Not altogether bad, but strange. After all, since he couldn't see what he was wearing anyway, he rarely gave thought to how he looked. He assumed that as of right now, he looked ridiculous. A little alarm buzzed in his pocket. Carter had set an alarm for him, so he would know when to come and pick her up. He ran a hand through his white hair. "This girl..." Putting his hands in his pockets he turned and headed through the forest, being careful not to dirty or scratch his clothes as he followed the path, and headed for the girls' dorms.

A few minutes later found him at the entrance to the girls' dorms, nervously adjusting his tie. He was really about to go to a dance. With a girl. This was happening. He took a deep breath and stepped inside, waiting for Carter to come down and meet him. While he waited he paced, taking deep breaths to keep cool. At least they were going with Wolf and Sophie. Surely Wolf had to understand his feeling. It was so strange to be doing something like this. It felt outside the norm. But at the same time, if it was with Carter, he was almost...happy to be doing it? He pinched the bridge of his nose, and told himself again to relax. He straightened his tie once more and perked up a moment later as he heard footsteps coming down the stairs nearby. He sniffed the air, a faint smile flickering across his lips. He turned towards the stairs and put his hands in his pockets, waiting for her.

Mako's Outfit

[Carter Roth]

"I...look weird." Carter said to herself, standing in front of her mirror. She wasn't used to seeing herself in anything but pants or shorts. Now she was in a dress. And a nice one at that, not just one of those 'casual' things. To top of the weirdness of it all, she was wearing heeled boots and even had a little make up on. Make up. She never wore make up! Granted it wasn't much, just some eyeliner and lip gloss, but for a girl who usually just went with chap stick and called it a day, it was a little out of her comfort zone. Sighing, she started brushing her hair, thanking god that her hair curled a little on its own so she wouldn't have to use a curling iron or anything. They scared her quite honestly. With her luck she'd singe her hair and burn her hand all in one go.

Time crept closer to when Mako was supposed to pick her up and she started getting nervous again. Not only was this the first dance she ever went to, but she was going with a shark, of all things. She almost laughed and would have too if the want-it-to-come-but-don't dread feeling wasn't sitting heavy in her stomach. Honestly, it was just a dance. Why in the hell was she getting so worked up about it? She could dance...kinda. It wasn't Mako making her nervous. Couldn't be. She only liked him as a friend. Right? She sighed again, pinning some of her hair back with a soft peach pink flower clip, figuring she might as well do that since it was a Valentine's Day dance and she didn't want to be shoving her hair out of her face every five minutes.

Seeing that it was time for her to go down and meet him she stood up, taking deep breaths to try to calm herself down. "Alright, calm down you moron."She murmured to herself, remembering his freaky-good senses and not wanting him to tell she was nervous. She got herself under control as she headed for the stairs, actually looking forward to it and happy they were going with Sophie and Wolf too. She climbed down the stairs slowly, willing herself not to trip before finally setting foot on level ground again, whistling when she saw Mako. "Dang, Sharky. You clean up good." She said, walking over to him. It was true too. She was used to seeing him in that hoody of his, not anything like this. Even though she was in heels, he still towered over her though it wasn't as weird as when she first met him, having gotten used to it. "Ready to go?" She grinned up at him.

The walk to the gym was relatively uneventful, thankfully no face plants since she finally seemed to get the hang of walking in her own shoes. She whistled again when she saw the decorations filling the gym. "Well. They went all out." While she was looking around at all the decorations she managed to spot Wolf easily enough being as tall as he was, seeing Sophie next to him a moment later. She smiled widely, grabbing Mako's hand without thinking. "C'mon, I see Wolf and Sophie," She chuckled, tugging him in their direction

As dead as a lumbering log was the best to describe how Hans Wolfman slept, even if he was much larger and heavier than your everyday timber. His snow white hair fell messily over his rugged features as his chest heaved up and down. Deep almost snore like breaths escaping from his mouth, and blowing against the back of Sophie's neck like a hair dryer being turn on and off. His arms, covered in scars and cuts, were wrapped around Sophie much smaller frame to sooth her into sleep after a nightmare she had experience the night before, and a much more passionate sign of affection.

Sleeping like a stone, Wolf hadn't even been disturbed by the girl outside of the dorm, or when his partner moved away from him. His deep slumber was only slightly agitated when Sophie shook his shoulder. Earning her a low half-ass growl as he simply rolled on his side. Pointing his back to her as he pulled a pillow over his head. After all, the towering teenager had completely forgotten about the dance, and had suspected Sophie had once again misplace her homework or something. The reason she shook his shoulder? Easy, she wanted to him to wake up and help her find it. Now, as much as he loved the girl, he was not about to try and sniff out a piece of paper in a room that was completely covered in her scent.

So, there he remained, laying on the girl's bed while she shuffled around the room. Applying her make-up, and getting herself ready. He felt so calm, so peaceful... That was until he felt something like hard rubber hit the back of his head. In an instant primitive instinct crumbled up the peace within like leafs, and tossed them into the wind. His turquoise eyes snapping open as they flash to a glowing gold color. His body quick to pushed it's senses into overdrive as he shoot up from the bed. Out of habit his hand reached for the iron pipe that wasn't there. Grasping the empty air a few more times his face slowly changed into a more fitting, confused expression. Blinking twice or trice he looked down at his pipeless hand in confusion.

A second later, his animistic brain registered what Sophie had puppy whined to him a few moments ago. Late? Late for what? What in the den of the beasts was this fräulein talking about? It wasn't until he saw her pulling out the dress that it hit him. Oh right, that valentine dance event thing... Huffing and puffing a series of sighs Wolf waited until the girl ran into the bathroom to get ready. In one long stride Wolf crossed from one end of the room to the other, and pulled his suit out from the closest. Quickly, yet carefully he slipped into the suit, straighten it out and tied his hair back into a pony tail. Pulling his messy bangs back so his bright blueish green hues were showing.

Alright, now all there was left was that stupid tie. Grabbing the piece of cloth his hands went to work to loop it, twist it, roll it or whatever it was what you did with these god awful piece of clothing. However, despite his best efforts, Wolf utterly and completely failed. In fact, it had somehow became a battle of life or death since the more he tugged on it, the more it seemed to tighten around his blasted hals. He was so focus on his battle he had't noticed Sophie until she moved his hands away. Puffing out a sigh of relief he looked at the girl. The tiniest of smiles breaking his stoic face as he marveled in her beauty. "Danke fräulein." He muttered in a low voice as his friend finished.

After that, it was a simple matter of waiting while she put on all of her jewelry. Even though, he taught such things were pointless, he held his breath since he knew how important it was to her. After all, her happiness was all that mattered. "Ja." Nodding at her question he replied with his own little smile as she took his hand before being dragged out of the room. Which, she somehow managed to do despite being like a foot shorter. As they walked through the hallway Wolf arched an eyebrow at Sophie comment about shark boy and his ozone smelling mate while she picked up the pace. However, for someone as tall as the white haired teen, he only needed to simply widen the distance of his step by an inch or two.

And then entered the gym, and it was safe to say Wolf was.....unimpressed. Just a bunch of pink and white stuff, with a bunch of people crowding together in the middle. In all honestly, it smelt like a bunch of sweat, cheap human food and raging hormones. Oh well, he would just have to make due, and enjoy the time he was spending with her, and maybe the other two (As long as they stayed two feet away from Sophie at all times). Using his superior height Wolf peered over the horde of heads. Looking for his fellow tall, white haired, but fishy looking, 'friend'.

A second later, and he finally spotted Miss Lightning and Shark Face. "Ich sehe, thing eins und zwei" He said to his date as he pointed toward the other two. Now, being the prideful and not to take the first step type of dude he was. Wolf firmly planted his feet and stood where he was. Waiting for the other couple to waltz over to them. His face as blank and stoic as ever.

Excitement continued to grow within the young wolf as she bounced around her room getting ready. Helping her friend out, beaming up at him as he gifted her with a small smile. Who knew fixing a tie could do such a thing? She should really tell him to wear it more often if she got something as rare as a smile out of him. “Bitte. Du bist sehr schön,” Sophie replied softly to his thanks, stepping back and taking a look at her date for a moment. The rough and tough werewolf truly did know how to clean up, even if she thought it was a little funny he tied his hair back.

The soft, sweet smile on her face as she looked over him quickly changed into an excited grin as she finished getting ready. Minutes later she was pulling her date out the room. While she was physically fit with some enhancements that was quite the task for anyone. She had long ago forgot the sense of accomplishment when she succeed in leading him again. It happened too often for the girl to recognize it anymore. Not that he couldn’t simply stop and snap her back with ease but he normally chose to follow her with a bit of persuading.

Nearly bubbling with excitement and trying to overlook the small amount of anxiousness within her Sophie was thrilled when the pair finally reached the dance. After all, it was the first event that she or Wolf had ever been too like this. Getting dressed up and going out to social event was a complete adventure to the amber eyed girl. The last time she had been around so many people was at least five years ago, save the occasional time that they would head into the city. Those only lasted an hour at the most as they both preferred the solitude of the woods. The freedom the tall trees provided them.

While her eyes drank in the sight of the entire idea of a dance coming to life before her eyes she tugged on Wolf’s sleeve slightly. Of course with his keen eyesight and advantage of towering over majority of the students here it wasn’t a surprise when his soft spoken words rang in her ears. Her eyes slid over the crowd and quickly narrowed in on Mako and Carter. Nearly bounding with seemingly endless energy that tonight gave her she pulled on Wolf’s arm. “Come on! Don’t be like that.” Sophie couldn’t keep the smile out of her voice as she looked up at him, a slightly pleading look before letting go and swiftly bounding away. Weaving in and out of the bodies like an expert as she made her way to their friends.

“Hi!” She called happily as she came to a stop in front of the duo. “Carter I absolutely love your dress! It’s perfect for you. Wunderbar!” Her amber eyes ran up and down the girl, loving the flow of the dress for the storm manipulator. Of course, she couldn’t leave Mako out of the compliments either, turning slightly she grinned at him. “You clean up nicely Mako, didn’t think I’d live to see the day with you in a suit.” Teasing him slightly, feeling a bit odd that she didn’t know him better. After all, the shark boy was the closest thing to a friend Wolf had outside of herself. Sophie should at least try to talk to him more often.

Setting that as a mental goal for herself, along with getting to know Carter she beamed at them again. Tilting her head slightly she listened for the new song that was about to be played. A second later Sophie was beyond thrilled she actually knew it. There had been a small fear that she woulnd’t know anything since she hadn’t exactly listened to much music in the past few years. “I love this song!” Sophie exclaimed excitedly as she took hold of Carters hand and pulled her away from Mako. “Dance with me?” She laughed as she began dancing. Not sure how the actual dancing would go over with the guys. The thought of the two hulking boys dancing to something was amusing though, and sure to happen by the end of the night.
