▪ (Pub) Argyll Arms

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo let out a soft sigh and looked up at the other male. He felt really guilty for pulling the other into this whole mess.

The wolf sat there on the floor in silence and nodded slowly. "Maybe..maybe you should go home soon..no one is going to want to mess with you anyways, you're one of the higher ranks" he sighed again and rubbed the back of my neck.

Upon seeing the small bundle of silver and gold coins, he froze. Kyungsoo shook his head and smiled a little. "No no it's really okay, you don't need to take it, please you keep it" he gently pushed the others hand away hoping it would work. "I couldn't repay you...I really couldn't..." he shook his head once again.

"I would like that, you should visit some time" Kyungsoo smiled warmly and nodded. "I really need more company" he hummed and walked to the bathroom to return the first aid kit.

What the other might have not noticed is how he was lacking pictures of his family. Only on or two when he was a pup but none that was recent. His house was very plain and nearly empty, it was cleaned to his best abilities and organized.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok closed his eyes as the other gently patted down on wounds and rubbed away the dried blood present amongst his skin. He watched as the other let at a sigh and gently caressed his forehead.

“Really, Kyungsoo, thank you for being so kind but I’ll be alright in a while” He spoke in a light tone “My parents may be worried about me, it’s quite late…”

Silence filled the room while slight actions occurred among the two “I know you said no, but I don’t want you to get into trouble with the higher ups because of my outburst” He said pulling out a small bundle of silver and gold coins.

“Please take it” He continued pushing it towards the others hand “and maybe I can visit you again? If you’d like that is...” He blushed, the tip of his ears going visibly red.

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo bit down on his bottom lip and nodded slowly, he felt guilty for making this happen.

"I'm really sorry that this happened...you should have just...you should have just let that guy be rude...none of this would have happened..you wouldn't have gotten hurt.." the smaller shook his head and kept brushing hair out of the others face.

"n-no no, you don't have to pay for anything, it's okay, I'll just fix it when I get back tomorrow, you really don't need to" Kyungsoo noticed some dried blood on the others lip and reached out to wipe it off with his thumb gently.

"I'll get a wet cloth" he spoke and got up to get one, when he returned he gently wiped the rest of the blood that he could see and sighed quietly.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok concentrated on breathing in intervals. He saw the younger search through his coat and rush back towards him with a minuscule bottle. He grasped on to the others hand as he closed his eyes searching for the opening in the small flask.

“P-please tell me you’re not going to die” he heard the younger cry as he gently brushed away the tiny hairs laying astray on the top of his head. The elder furrowed his eyebrows in response and struggled to take a small sip from the tiny blue container.

“I’m not going to die, Kyungsoo” He breathed as he felt his body start to calm and still. His heart started to beat at a slower, more ordinary, rate and he sighed as he felt the effects of the medication overcome him.

He saw as the other boy stared at him expectantly and just gestured for the other to wait for a moment. He felt the burning sensation in his chest cool down, the restrictions in his bones and joints leave and the wound draped on his thigh barely singed.

“It’s a condition” he spoke and gulped as he saw the other look straight at him with a concerned expression. “It’s not a disease or anything dangerous. I-it’s just… overwhelming and painful situations give me a sort of… you could say panic attack?” he tried to explain “so the medication I took is just for really extreme cases, my family just believes it’s better to be safe than sorry thus I carry it around almost everywhere. It’s made by warlocks to heal faster.”

“Anyways” the elder mumbled trying to adjust on the sofa comfortably “I’m really sorry for the damage caused at the pub – I’ll pay up for any broken silverware and whatnot.” He observed the later who seemed to have restored more of his health and noticed the wound above his lips. Without thinking, the boy reached out gently brushing away the dried blood with his fingers.

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo bit down on his bottom lip and nodded slowly, he wanted to believe that it wasn't his fault, but it was. He should have been more gentle with the wound than he was already.

In panic he ran towards the other and placed him onto his couch.

"Front.. Pocket... Bottle" The other male croaked out and reached into the front pocket of the others coat frantically.

Feeling a bottle like object he pulled it out and handed it to the other quickly. His heart rate was speeding up and was scared for the others life.

"y-you're not going to d-die on me are you..?" Kyungsoo rasped out shakily and felt tears prick his eyes. If this man surely was going to die, it would have been all his fault. He could not bear the guilt and the burden for killing such an innocent and kind man who did not deserve such death.

"P-please tell me you're not going to die.." The small one sobbed out and grasped the others hand a little too tightly out of panic, and fear.

The wolf reached up and gently brushed away the hair that was sticking onto the other male's forehead, he couldn't believe all that happened in one single night.

@Do Kyungsoo | He saw as the younger looked at him with panic filling his features. The elder started to get hazy and honestly had no clue as to why. The pain being even more unbearable than that one time he had fallen down the stairs when younger and gotten quite bruised up.

“I know it hurts… please don’t cry…” the other explained while placing a bandage around his leg. Minseok shook his head rapidly to grasp reality and blinked repeatedly trying to rid his tears.

“It’s not because of you, I just- I don’t know how to explain it… The scratch feels weird, it hurts a lot Kyungsoo… even the medication is stinging too much” he sighed trying to get up as the other offered him a clean set of clothes, keeping a wide gap in between them.

He struggled to walk towards the boy only to trip halfway as his breathing started to slow. He watched as the other dashed to grab onto him. He felt the room move in slow motion as dark patches started to appear within his vision.

“Front.. Pocket… Bottle” he croaked grabbing onto the other’s hand tightly trying to control his breathing. The younger boy started to shake him lightly as though trying to keep him awake. Minseok gathered all his wits and energy and pointed towards his coat hanging off from the main table.

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo moved forward contently and started to wipe down the wound with the alcohol wipes. He his best to not hurt the other, but it was hard with a wound so big such as the one the other had.

"I'm sorry if this hurts, just bear it a little more" the look of guilt was evident on his face as he concentrated.

He looked up at the other male and saw tears and panicked a little.

"O-oh no..I'm sorry, I know it hurts..please don't cry..." Kyungsoo placed a bandage on the wound and wrapped some gauze around the others thigh.

"t-there, it's all done, Just try not to move it too much okay?" He stood up and closed the first aid kit, not needing it anymore. He looked at the others clothing, it wasn't better than his at the moment.

"If you want..I can lend you some of my clothes, I can try fixing your clothes, but, it'll be difficult..plus it's getting late, you should..probably go back to your place." Kyungsoo spoke quietly and stood a good distance away from the latter.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok sighed as the other boy showed no signs of backing down. He watched as the later crossed his legs settling down comfortably while humming a tune. He thought about what he should do next but gave in to the other wishes continuing to redden.

He zipped open his trousers, sliding them down just enough so that his wound would now be fully visible. He felt the urge to throw up as he actually saw the injury for the first time. It was deeper than the elder had expected, flesh torn in three long strikes, blood covering most of his clothes. He shivered in cold sweat as a strange dark liquid oozed out and let out a pained noise as the cotton fabric rubbed against him. Tears started to fill the corners of his eyes and took a quick look around the room to find a watch.

He noted that it had gotten quite late, a search party may have been sent out for him unless everyone was still unaware of his missing presence. He furrowed his eyebrows and looked towards the younger boy who stared back at him, lost in deep thought, his expression looking jumbled.

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo shook his head, "I'll heal faster than you, you need to take care of those wounds.." he watched the other stop and pull his pants back up.

"I'm just trying to help...It's not like I think of this as anything really..I really just want to help you" he tugged at the others pants gently holding the alcohol wipes and some gauze.

He sat there patiently waiting for the other, not wanting to rush anything. He his arms a few times and felt that the pain was getting less. Kyungsoo thanked his parents for being born as a werewolf. But sadly, they weren't around anymore, abandoned him at a young age.

Kyungsoo crossed his legs slowly on the floor and hummed a bit, hoping that his boss wouldn't kill him the next day for all the destruction they had done to the pub.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok noticed how the other seemed distressed at the mention of a medic and frowned slightly. He followed the younger boy’s directions and instructions, getting flustered internally as the latter seemed at the verge of losing his consciousness.

They both soon reached a small, cluttered looking area and Minseok made no comment about the contrast between his own place and the others. He watched as Kyungsoo pushed him away gently and started to walk towards a door. He could see how the boy was struggling to catch his breath most likely due to his healing process – the older once read about ability differences of such creatures in a book hidden within his family’s library space.

He entered the place and started examining objects such as pictures and decorations around him with great curiosity when, suddenly, he felt strong hands grab onto his hips pushing him down to be seated on a chair nearby. He blushed as he figured what was happening and winced noticeably when his leg moved out of place as he stumbled backwards.

"Stay still...I..I need you to take your pants off..s-so I can c-clean your wound..." Kyungsoo spoke flushing faintly but soon enough regained his calm. The elder complied shimmying out of his trousers a little so that they barely hung off his hips.

“It’s embarrassing… I can’t” He mumbled as he tried to cover himself up again, his face heating up greatly, his aura most likely emitting a small fifth of the pheromones an actual elf like his mother must probably let out.

“We should tend to your wounds first” Minseok stated as a matter-of-factly “I’ll heal eventually or just visit the family doctor. You’re in a far worse condition than me.”

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo gently held onto the other male and panted. He didn't want to go to a medic, he refused.

"N-no..I don't want to go to a m-medic..I need to go home.." the wolf pointed out the directions, he lived pretty far away from the pub, maybe 30 minutes away.

Kyungsoo could feel himself losing consciousness along the way, he stared down at the others wounds and groaned.

"I'll fix you up when w-we get t-to my house.." he whispered and soon enough they arrived.

With all the strength he had left in him, he dragged himself to the bathroom and brought a first aid kit that he had put together. It had bandages, gauze, alcohol wipes, almost everything.

"Stay still...I..I need you to take your pants off..s-so I can c-clean your wound..." Kyungsoo blushed a tiny bit but tried to shake it off since he needed to take care of the others wound.

@Do Kyungsoo Minseok watched as the younger man shifted to his wolf form, slowly approaching the still body on the floor. He saw as the wolf gave a few careful to the other’s larger wound and he clenched his fists. In his mind, he didn't think the buff man deserved the care, for goodness sake, he had tried to kill them earlier and if he had won against them he probably would have done much worst.

He saw as the wide-eyed wolf shifted back into his human state, pacing towards him. He gasped as he felt the later tug his shirt downwards probably with more power than expected; possibly due to the lack of control the other had regarding his power in his hurt and injured state.

“Please…b-bring me h-home…” He heard the boy whisper and Minseok quickly placed an arm around him. He hissed softly as his own wound, decorated across his thigh, hurt. He felt it sting slightly as he pulled up the other walking towards the main entrance.

“I don’t know where you live… you might have to point it out” He said, softly into the latter’s ear. “Maybe I should take you to a medic instead Kyungsoo, He’ll know what to do to fix you up” He continued, starting to panic as the other kept silent, bleeding through his clothes.

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo panted and slowly looked up at the other male, he shook his head and smiled a bit.

"a-anything t-to keep t-this p-place running..." he whimpered and his breath hitched when he went to sit up straight. Everything hurt, he hadn't shifted in so long, it was as if his whole body was on fire.

The wolf looked over at the other male and noticed that he wasn't moving and being the kind one he is, he dragged himself towards him and removed the knife from the chest, knowing where he hit it wouldn't have killed the other. He paused for a moment before shifting back again to his wolf form and gave a few tentative on the others large wound, knowing it would help heal.

When Kyungsoo knew the other could heal by himself after, he dragged himself back to where he was as he was shifting back to human again.

"P-please...b-bring me h-home..." he whispered weakly and placed his hand on the others arm trying to grasp onto the fabric of the other's shirt but not being able to close his fingers around it.

It was all too much for him, all that had happened made him feel dizzy. He shut his eyes tightly and panted, he needed to get home and heal or else he wouldn't be able go to work the next day, which meant he wouldn't get his payment, which also meant he wouldn't be able to buy food for himself.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok watched as Kyungsoo’s fangs sunk into the other wolf’s flesh. Soon enough, the smaller one was once again under the mercy of the larger wolf as he clutched his neck. Anger rising from his roots, the man tightened his hold making it almost impossible for the younger wolf to breath. Minseok stilled in shock, scared of possibly being the cause of an innocent person’s demise as well as his own.

He saw the younger wolf’s eyes flutter towards him and then to the main door. Sweating, Minseok figured what the boy had meant and shook his head, eyebrows furrowing in a slight beg. He was a mess, needed help and he started to give desperate looks to the spectators.

“I don’t think so” The man snarled, Minseok flinched and ran towards the taller to pull away his claws even if that meant putting himself in danger. Adrenaline rushed through his body as he hurried forward when, unexpectedly, he felt a wet substance hit his being. He paused taking into account what had just happened and watched as the older wolf fell to the floor, eyes reverting slowly back to its original colour before the later completely shut them. He looked at his clothes which were now covered in blood and cursed, hoping no one back home would find out or he would be banned from leaving once again.

He turned as he heard creaks to his left and saw people start to pack up, leaving small amounts of money onto the counter, exiting the pub without a word. He felt anger swell within him but controlled the urge to scream, he needed to stay calm; things go wrong when he doesn't act rationally.

He watched Kyungsoo slide to the floor, drained from all energy and walked up to him. He settled down on the floor in front of the young boy, pulling down his sleeve to his palm and started to rub the spots of blood off the other’s face.

“I’m really sorry, I didn't mean to, I– ” He paused as he saw the later cringe, his wounds healing but at an extremely slow pace.
“Are you okay?” He questioned staring with genuine concern “Please say something…”

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo looked back and forth between the two and snarled at the other on top of him. He barred his teeth and sunk bit down on the other wolf's arm sinking his fangs into the large mass of muscle, causing the larger wolf to howl in pain. He picked Kyungsoo up by the neck and lifted him up in the air and snarled dangerously.

Kyungsoo gasped for air and shut his eyes tightly, he was feeling light headed and knew that this wasn't a good sign. His eyes flickered over to the other male who had been trying to help and flicked his eyes back and forth towards the door, and the other male. Hoping that it would signal for the other male to escape as fast as he could so he could be safe.

'L-let me go!..' Kyungsoo yelled at the other through his mind, but it just ended up sounding like a whimpering snarl.

'I don't think so mut.' the other snarled back and gripped tighter around his neck, closing his air passage again.

Slowly Kyungsoo's eyes started to roll back since he was lacking air inside of his body, his eyes started to turn a white colour which was never a good sign.

With all the strength Kyungsoo had left, he struck the other with his claws and luckily he was dropped to the ground, heaving for air. His lungs felt like they were burning.

He didn't waste any time and ran towards the other wolf with great force and slammed him into the wall grabbing the knife and piercing it through the others chest.

Kyungsoo then took a few steps back and panted heavily, he shifted back to his human form and there was blood everywhere, and claw marks everywhere on his body, and previous marks on his body from previous incidents.

The werewolf's eyes turned back to it's dark brown colour. Kyungsoo leaned against the counter and let his back slide down, he was exhausted and weak from all of the blood he had shed from one single fight.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok gasped as he was slammed against the counter behind him. His eyes started to water at the intense pain the tugging caused him, yet he tried to appear stronger than he really was. He really did not like the idea of giving the man the upper hand. He grabbed onto the other’s forearm pulling away with all his might when suddenly he saw a flash of black fur.

He regained some of his composure, still panting slightly as he saw a wolf like creature stand in between him and the dangerous man. Rapidly, the other man shifted to a much larger creature, eyes dark with anger and want staring right at Minseok. The larger wolf then pounced onto the smaller one clawing at his neck while the other struggled to push away.

Minseok looked around, in panic, searching for something to use to his advantage and jumped over the counter to expect the silverware. He searched through many wooden utensils until he stumbled upon a silver blunt knife. Hastily, he ran towards the buff man trying to dodge his view.

“Behind you!” one of the men in the bar spoke causing the wolf to turn around hurriedly, claw the air and cause a slight scratch to the petite boy’s thigh. Minseok held back his pain and wielded his only weapon, slamming it as hard as he could into the bigger wolf’s claw causing him to howl and move back frantically, blood dripping to the floor.

“Are you alright?” Minseok questioned as the blue eyed wolf hurried in front of him in a battle stance, looking far more in touch with his animalistic instincts than ever before. The injured wolf snarled enraged and made a run towards the two pushing them backwards.
He then proceeded to climb atop the younger wolf as he slightly lost balance and bared his fangs, mouth agape as he teasingly stared at Minseok.

“Stop!” Minseok yelled looking around devastated by the other occupants of the pub who continued to watch with excitement. “What do you want? Just let him go, it’s my fault I’ll do as you say.” His words died down to a whisper by the end of his sentence.

The werewolf seemed distracted by thought due to the sudden change of events and Minseok saw Kyungsoo take account of the situation staring at him and then backs towards the side-tracked wolf above him.

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo watched in horror, he didn't want any trouble to happen, if only he had been faster with the man's drink none of this would have happened.

"P-please stop, I'll give you another drink for free, it might cost me my job but please, I don't want any trouble here" he begged and his eyes changed to a bright blue colour.

He walked around and out of the bar counter and stood in between the two males. The buff man grabbed a fistful of his hair and yanked him back, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Stay out of this kid." The man hissed at the small male and turned his gaze back to the other.

Kyungsoo on the other hand didn't want any of this to happen, he had refrained from shifted into his own form, but he couldn't help it. His own fangs growing in size, and thick black hair started to cover his arms, face, legs, and the rest of his body. Ears sprouting from his head and his eyes were a golden colour.

He stood in front of the man again and barred his teeth, which to himself, was surprising, since he had never done that before. Never showed any threat of some sort, never showed his anger.

'I said to stop. I don't want to cause any trouble. Go drink somewhere else.' Kyungsoo spoke to the man through his mind, since they could understand each other like that.

A low growl emitted from the man and he himself had shifted to a much larger framed wolf. A large claw clamped around Kyungsoo's smaller neck and it gripped tightly around it, making his air passage to nearly squeeze shut.

'I said to stay out of this. I'll make sure you're all mine after this.' The man growled louder and barred his teeth also. Kyungsoo whimpered and his own claws gripped onto the larger wolf's claw around his neck.

@Do Kyungsoo | Minseok knew he shouldn't have, it was one of the things his mother had informed him since he was young. He needed to keep his emotions in control because most shadow creatures found it hard or almost impossible to do so. However, watching as the disrespectful man spat at the young boy, slamming his empty cup onto his stomach, Minseok couldn't help but get fueled up.

"Excuse me" He spoke successfully gaining the other's intention "Sir, I do hope you know that it's extremely rude of you to treat a person the way you did." The man simply stared at the petite boy looking at him in awe, his lips starting to form a slight smirk.
"What are you going to do about it?" The man said getting up and moving closer towards Minseok's seat who reciprocated by standing on his own two feet as well.

"Please stop, It's alright." Kyungsoo interfered, his tone slightly resembling a beg.

"No sweetheart, someone needs to teach this boy a lesson on why he shouldn't mess with our kind." the man hissed grabbing Minseok's arm. The few customers that were present all turned towards the scene occurring. Some, most likely humans, packed up their belongings to leave the area while the others stayed and silently watched.

Minseok pulled away his arm from the man's grip and pushed him away with all his might. The buff man stumbled backwards slightly, most likely due to his blurry vision and drunk self. Some gasps were heard in the room and Kyungsoo gaped at the petite boy. The man seemed to enter a rage filled mental state as he pushed Minseok backwards grabbing his waist tightly, tugging his hair backwards.

"Hey kid" The man called out Kyungsoo causing his eyes to widen "How about we teach this human a lesson about a werewolf's bite." He continued smugly, his fangs growing in size as he slightly shifted to his form."

@Kim Minseok Kyungsoo leaned against the counter and hummed softly wanting to talk about anything, but he couldn't think of anything. He wasn't the social type so forming a conversation was always difficult for him. He turned his head over towards the drunken man and flinched a little when the iron like fist slammed against the wooden counter.

"Y-yes sir" he scurried back to get the other man another drink. Apparently he was taking too long, and slammed his other fist against the counter, standing up in the process.

"You goddamn useless bartender. Could you be any slower?!" he yelled at the small male and leaned over the counter, as if he was going to jump over and attack the other.

With all the speed he could, with also being careful with the drink, placed it in front of the man who was towering over him with hatred. "Took you long enough." he spat at Kyungsoo and sat down gruffly and shoved his empty bottle at the small males stomach roughly.

"Take care of that would you." Kyungsoo bit his bottom lip and turned to put it away.

@Do Kyungsoo | The younger man chuckled and went towards the back to fetch water and Minseok tapped his fingers repeatedly onto the hardwood surface in front of him. He noticed a few men whispering in one of the tables behind him and couldn't help stop the negative feelings that started to emerge within in stomach. He felt confused and tried his best to avoid making any contact or movement out of the ordinary that may spark about a reaction from the other table.

The bartender soon returned providing him with his glass and Minseok took a quick glance at his name which was embroidered onto his shirt's front pocket. 'Kyungsoo' he mouthed trying to get comfortable with the name. He sipped his glass empty and placed it down gently on to the surface and saw the other boy staring at him expectantly.

"So what would you like to talk about?" Kyungsoo asked most likely out of courtesy. Minseok paused for a while, blushing as he struggled to form words to explain and vent his stresses when, suddenly, an interruption occurred.

"Get me another drink!" A drunken man spoke harshly slamming his fist onto the wooden counter with almost all his strength.

@Kim Minseok Washing cups weren't something he loved, but it was a part of his job, and he needed the money so he had to put up with the torturous washing. Kyungsoo hummed softly, luckily no one could hear over the music that was already playing in the background. He placed the cups properly in their significant places and served some more customers.

He hadn't noticed another customer that had walked in, since he was occupying himself to make a drink for his latest customer. A weird combination of different alcohol, but who was he to judge. He himself has never drank alcohol before. Ironic. Kyungsoo sighed softly and hoped that all the money he was saving up, was good enough to get him to at least get a better house to live in.

Upon turning around, the small male noticed another male, one that had taken interest in talking to the poor boy. He gave the customer their drink and moved towards the other. "Hello, how may I help you?" he smiled softly and dusted his hands off on his apron. "Water, and a chat, sounds just about right" a small chuckle left his plump lips and went to fetch a glass of water.

@Do Kyungsoo | It had been around half an hour since Minseok had finished work. His job was tiring but rewarding plus it provided him with many benefits and a paycheck far larger than many could imagine. He tried to remain as quiet as possible as he passed through the empty streets. Soon enough, he saw small structures approaching worded with cursive lettering. He scanned through till he spotted a pub he frequently visits.

Trying to draw the least amount of attention to himself, Minseok scooted over to a vacant seat at the far end corner of the large bar table. He avoided forming any sort of contact with the people around due to his careful nature. His parents had warned him of creatures, dark and mysterious, living among the humans and ever since Minseok has taken the warnings and knowledge to heart, it also didn't help that the elder boy was youthful looking, bright and tempting due to the features inherited from his elven mother.

"Hello, how may I help you?" A voice suddenly called and Minseok looked up taking in soft features, big eyes and full lips. He gave the later a smile and let out a sigh.
"Hello Kyungsoo, I'd just like water please and a chat maybe?"
