"I-I went into the living room without thinking, and she thought I was you. I told her I wasn't...and she went and started ripping up paper." Timmy explained, feeling his legs weaken. "I figured you'd be mad so I left. Besides, I have to save up for wolfsbane. It doesn't come cheap. I was gonna just go back in my old hol - home and stay out of your way."

[G. Novella]

"I'm not angry Timmy," said Arthur with a sigh, "Grandma's always like that, she comes and goes. As for Wolfsbane, I got it free for us today, and I can find ways to cover both our shares. I'll just work harder, meet more donors. Your not going to your old ho-home, not ever again, I promised you that, didn't I? Now, are you feeling alright? I've been worried sick trying to find you alk day! You shouldn't be moving around when your sick like this!"

[Chameleon]

Joshua looked between Arthur and Timmy with confusion. "Hold on here. You, kiddo, you live with Arthur here. And you're both werewolves. So the cup Arthur saved in the shelter was for you ..." Joshua trailed off. So they lived together and were werewolves. He looked concerned on the boy. "There was thunder yesterday. Does it mean you were out then?" he asked suspiciously.

[kumainpink]

By now, people were starting to file around. Their expressions angry. But oddly enough, most of them were focused on Arthur. They started whispering about what a bad person he was, making a boy go out and do work for him. Others whispered about them being filthy half-breeds.

"It's not like that!" Timmy protested as he dropped to his knees, losing the battle with his legs. Why was everything spinning? "I only started staying with him yesterday! I lived on my own until then!"

[deathrosehunter]

Isobel pushed through the growing crowd. How come she was such an idiot of leaving him alone when he's sick. When Isobel made her way to the front she saw Timmy's pupil grow large. "He's going to pass out."

[G. Novella]

Immediately Arthur grabbed Timmy, worried. People were whispering, but he'd heard worse. Besides, most of them didn't care either ways. "Are you okay Timmy?"

[Chameleon]

Joshua had noticed the people look at Arthur as he was the lowest scum that existed. Most of them here, knew he was a werewolf, but not that he had once been one of them too. He looked alarmed as the boy fell together. "You let him be out alone yesterday in the rain?" he hissed to Arthur quietly. "You take the boy somewhere, I say. Is your home close?" he asked. He planned if not, then he would demand that they went to his house. He would use force if possible.

[kumainpink]

Instead of answering, Timmy felt the bile rise to his throat again, and he vomited near Arthur's feet. Luckily, not directly on them. Shakily, he wiped his mouth. He looked down, embarrassed. "Sorry." he murmured.

[G. Novella]

"Not far, up the field," grunted Arthur, lifting Timmy easily into his arms. He noticed a girl staring at Timmy in worry, the same one who'd been alarmed he'd faint. She was standing in his path, so Arthur grunted "Move!" to her. She was blocking the damn path to the house!

[deathrosehunter]

"I'm coming with you then," Isobel only moved out the way because she was worried about Timmy.

[Chameleon]

Joshua looked between the people, and decided that he would follow to make sure, that the boy got treated right. Did Arthur even know how to treat sick people?
"Be polite. The girl is only concerned for him," he chastised. "And I'm coming with you, whether you like it or not."

[G. Novella]

Fucking Hell! Who the fuck were these people trying to get into his house? Before he could argue, Timmy shifted uncomfortably in his arms, and a crowd was gathering. At least the man was a werewolf, the girl he didn't even know! He glared at all of them, wishing they'd leave him alone to take care of Timmy himself! He could do just fine, he'd cared for his grandma after all!

"Whatever, do what you want, just move so I can get him home," said Arthur, gritting his teeth.

[kumainpink]

"I-I can walk." Timmy protested weakly. Why were so many people caring about him like this? Where was this coming from? He had been to other places in the past, and nobody ever showed him so much concern. Did it really matter if he collapsed or not, so long as he wasn't smearing his parents' good name?

[Chameleon]

Joshua could see that Arthur was about to get agitated, and hoped that the he wouldn't start a fight in front of a sick boy. He looked suspiciously at him, but said with a gruff voice. "Well, let's go then. We don't want the boy getting too sick."

[deathrosehunter]

Isobel was becoming irraited real fast with this boy. If she wasn't worried about Timmy she would of kicked in his happy place and be on her way.

[G. Novella]

"You're not walking like this," said Arthur, moving past the girl and ignoring the two tag-alongs. He moved quickly up the path to his house, glad to be away from all the people in the park. Timmy wasn't heavy, but he held him close and tight. He didn't look back to see if the tag-alongs were following. They weren't his priority. Besides, he knew what good intentions were like. People didn't care for kids like him, or Timmy, once they were out of the public eye. He reached the house, and turned around to see if the two were still there.

[Chameleon]

Arthur followed silently after Arthur and Timmy, while he looked occasionally on the girl beside him. He sent concerned glances toward the small boy in Arthur's arms, and thought absently how to help him. He still thought his house would have been better, but didn't want to disrespect the boys by suggesting it. He only raised his eyebrow, as to say he was still there, when they arrived to the house, when Arthur looked at them.

"So. Should we go in? The boy needs to get warmed up."

[kumainpink]

Timmy felt himself fade in and out several times, before finally passing out. This time, his dreams were peaceful. He dreamed of a family that loved him for who he was, and oddly enough, Arthur was there. The world was bright and everyone played a game of soccer.

[deathrosehunter]

Isobel looked at Arthur,"Well then are you going to go in or are you just going yo stand there?"

[G. Novella]

"So your coming in then?" he said with a scowl, not wanting them in. He turned without an answer, and jangled the key in the front door. It was a bit difficult considering he was holding Timmy, but it wasn't a big deal. He opened the door and left it that way, not offering them an invite in.

He headed inside the house, and began moving upstairs. Grandma wasn't creating a racket, so she was fine. He'd get Timmy comfortable first. "We're home Timmy." he said gently to the unconscious boy.

[Chameleon]

He followed into the door, a bit unsure want to do, if he should follow them upstairs, or if he should go in the kitchen and make some warm soup. He decided onto going into the kitchen, and found it, and stepped inside, and tried to find something to cook. They had to have something, and he started to mix it together into a pot.

[kumainpink]

Timmy woke up in a haze. "Huh?" he murmured. He didn't know where "home" was, or who was talking to him, but it was nice. Someone was holding him. Dad? No, dad was older. "Okay."

[deathrosehunter]

"No, I walked all this to stay outside," Isobel snapped at him. "Of course I'm coming in." Isobel walked in after him. "So you and Timmy live here?" Isobel looked around, why did he leave him alone."

[G. Novella]

Arthur heard the girl following him in. Her attitude bugged him. "No, I just broke in for show," snapped Arthur back. "I'm taking Timmy upstairs, stay out of the living room!"

He watched the older man go into the kitchen, but ignored it. First he needed to get Timmy into bed. He moved Timmy upstairs to his room.

[kumainpink]

The haze lifted a bit, and Timmy realized where he was. "Sorry." he murmured sleepily. "Didn't mean to make you look bad."

[deathrosehunter]

Isobel watched him climb up the stairs. She sighed, she followed the older man into what must be the kitchen.

[Chameleon]

Joshua had gotten the pot warmed up by use of a spell, and put different things in there, to Timmy, to eat, and watched it bubble. He turned around to see the young girl there, and looked curiously at him. "Hi. Did Arthur put Timmy to his room?" he asked suspiciously.

[G. Novella]

"Hey now, kid," he said, laying Timmy onto the bed gently. "You didn't make me look bad, heck, I make myself look worse on a daily basis. I'm going to get you out of these sweaty clothes now, and get you dressed into some pajamas. Then I'll bring you up a potion and some warm soup, okay?"

[deathrosehunter]

"Yes, he took him upstairs," Isobel answered. She leaned against the wall, looking at the older gentleman.

[kumainpink]

"Thanks." Timmy said, feeling rather humbled at the moment. So many people seemed to care about his well-being.
