Movie Night

'Talking to their cat'

~Mind link~

Theo's P.O.V.

Giving Mikey a soft kiss on the lips I wish him a fun time exploring before I head to my office to speak with Dexter. Opening the door, I can sense Dexter's presence as I hear him stand up. "It is good to see you again Theo."

I chuckle as I close the door and take a seat at my desk. "You saw me two days ago. So, what brings you here all of a sudden."

"I came to congratulate my old friend about finally finding his mate."

"Old who are you calling old you are older than me."

Again, we laugh as Dexter gets up again heading to my liquor cabinet. "Scotch or Whiskey?"

"Hm Scotch."

My head turns to him as I can hear the sloshing of liquid into a glass. He places a glass down on my desk while he places the other in my hand. Thanking him I breath in the strong amber rich scent. Taking a sip, we start talking and joking around till there is a knock on the door. "Come in."

As soon as the door opens, I can tell right away that it is Katie. "What is it, Katie?"

Giggling she walks over to my desk. "What I can't just come see my favorite big brother."

I roll my eyes knowing that this means that she must want some. "I am your only brother, so what do you want Katie."

She lets out a fake gasp in shock. "I am deeply offended that you would think, so low of your own baby sister. Though if you must ask, I want to take my cute little brother-in-law shopping."

I hesitate slightly as I remember what happen this morning with Raphael. As if she can sense my discomfort, she takes my hand. "Come on Theo, I know you are worried, but you can't keep him hidden away in the pride house all his life. I promise he won't leave my side for a second. He needs his own clothes too as much as you like him wearing yours, he needs some that fit."

Sighing I take another sip of my scotch all the contents in the glass. "Fine, but Axle and Mitch will be going with you both as well as protection."

She sighs heavily but doesn't bother arguing with me. "Alright. Alright fine."

She goes to leave, but I get up and stop her before she can. "Hold up aren't you forgetting something?"

"No, I don't think, so."

Chuckling I reach into my pocket and pull out my wallet. Opening it I take out one of my credit cards and hand it to her. "Here this is for Mikey and Mikey only you have your own."

She lets out a playful huff before kissing my cheek. "Alright. I'll be off then."

Once she leaves, I head back to my seat as Dexter pours me another drink. "So now that your sister and mate are going out shopping, we have all the time to talk."

I snort and take a sip of my drink. "You know you have terrible timing right."

"What do you me-..."

I could tell I was blushing as I feel the heat radiate from the back of my neck and cheeks. Which makes him burst out in laughter making me let out a growl. "Okay. Okay I'm sorry, but you can't be mad at me how was I supposed to know that I was interrupting special alone time with your mate."

I sigh as I run my hand through my hair. "Yeah, it will be a while till we get that far."

"What do you mean? Haven't you guys mated and marked each other yet?"

"No, we haven't."

"Alright that's it tell me what's going?"

Knowing that I need to talk to someone about it I tell Dexter everything. From all my fears of losing Mikey to not being good enough. As well as Raphael and what he did to my mate."

Dexter sooths my worries as we continue to drink though as we do I end up freezing. When I hear Kyle let out an angry growl within my head. 'Kyle what is it? What is wrong?'

'It's Mikey something has upset our mate he is in tears.'

"Theo is everything alright? Is something wrong?"

My head snaps to Dexter when I realize that I can see him. As well as that I am standing up out of my chair. "Oh, my apologizes something has upset Mikey I am going to have Axle bring them home."

"Alright."

Sitting back down I mind link with Axle. ~Axle it is Theo, I want you to bring Mikey and Katie back to the pride house now.~

I guess my voice is filled with tension and worry as he doesn't argue with me. ~Alright I will bring them back right now.~

Letting out a heavy sigh I pull of my sunglasses placing them down on the table. Rubbing my eyes as I worry about Mikey. "Dang Theo it's only been two days and that boy has you wrapped around his finger."

Chuckling softly, I smile slightly. "Yeah, it would seem, so, but I don't mind he is my mate after all."

Glancing up at him I notice the goofy grin on his face. Rolling my eyes, I let darkness consume my vision as I give him the finger. He snickers at my reaction as I can sense Mikey and the others have returned to the territory. After talking a bit longer with Dexter, we both leave my office. Dexter heading home to his own pride as I head to my room. Though I can smell Mikey's scent in our room I can't sense his presence in the room. "Mikey? Where are you?"

"I am in the closet. I am hanging up all the new clothes Katie help me get."

Heading to my or I guess our closet I sense Mikey in the doorway as I get there. Being worried about my mate I scoop him up into my arms. Which causes him to let out an adorable little surprised yelp as he clings to me tightly. Which makes Kyle let out a low pleased rumble. "Are you alright? You aren't hurt anywhere, are you?"

Letting my worry take over I sniff Mikey all over searching for any wounds or injuries. Which could have caused him to become, so distressed. "Th-Theo? W-What are you d-doing? I am perfectly fine."

I stop sniffing him bring my face as close as I can without getting too close to him. As I can feel the heat radiating from his cheeks which means that he is blushing. "Are you sure?"

I guess the worry was still in my voice and probably still on my face. As Mikey suddenly hugs me wrapping his arms around my neck. While planting a gentle kiss on cheek making Kyle let out a happy roar at the affection given. "I'm fine. I promise."

Pulling him closer against me I bury my face into his hair as I breath in his scent. Trying to calm al the worries and fears that I have. "But earlier I felt your sadness and pain."

As I talk to him, I carry him out of the closet and sit at the foot of our bed. Adjusting him in my lap as I sit down, so that I can keep him in my arms. "Oh that. Katie and I had been talking and she called me family. It made me very happy, but it also had brought up some really bad and painful memories of my birth family."

Leaning in I softly kiss his temple which causes his face to heat up more. "What were you two talking about?"

"Oh, um we were talking about you. Your eyes and my feelings about them to be more specific."

I tension up slightly when I hear this worried about what that could mean. "Because I didn't really care about the clothing I got. Katie told me I was upset because your opinion on what I am wearing and what you think about me matters to me. She also told me that I am angry as well. But not at you, but at the monsters who took your sight from you. Because I can't even imagine the amount of pain you were in. Though Katie also said that even if you were able to see you wouldn't care what I was wearing."

Immediately I relax at his words as I again lean into him and nuzzle him. As I do I give him a gentle peak on the lips smiling at him as well. "She is right you are perfect to me no matter what you wear or look like."

Sensing him suddenly reach of my sunglasses I panic stopping him. By grabbing his wrist being careful not to grab him too tight. "Th-Theo pl-please I... I want to b-be able t-to see your e-eyes."

Hearing him stutter I crack and let go of his wrist. As soon as I do I feel him take my sunglasses off my face. My sightless eyes looking in the general direction of Mikey. "Mikey?"

"Y-Yes Theo?"

"Even though I am blind doesn't mean that I don't know that you are wearing my favorite old grey cotton hoodie. That you have beautiful soft fluffy light mocha brown. As well as that your eyes are a warm chocolate brown."

"H-How?"

"I am your mate Mikey. I may be blind, but my other senses are heightened because of it. As well as the occasional help from Kyle that let me see exactly what you look like. But I can tell by the scent that you are wearing my clothes. By the feel of it I can tell that it is a hoodie and made from cotton. As well as that it is worn from wear and age. Which makes it my favorite old grey hoodie. So how about you show me the clothes that you haven't put away yet."

I let go of him, so that he can grab the rest of his shopping bags. He quickly returns and sits down right next to me as he pulls the clothes out of the bags. Mikey hands me one item at a time telling me the color while he lets me guess what kind of material in is made out of. When we finally finish going through all the clothes, we start to hang up the clothes in the closet. Though it did make much convincing on my part for me to convince Mikey to let me help. Eventually he caves and we quickly put everything away.

When we finish, I hear Mikey grab a bag I offer to help, but he gently declines. As it is only a bag of bathroom supplies letting him head to the bathroom to put them away. I wait a bit for him to return, but after a while I start to worry as he was taking a long time. So, I head to the bathroom finding my small, adorable mate with ease. "Mikey? You all done?"

Being behind him I take advantage of knowing where he is and plant a kiss on his cheek. Which causes him to jump slightly as I ended up startling him. "Sorry didn't mean to startle you love."

I hear his breath hitch slightly at when I call him love. "No, it's not your fault. I kind of zoned out."

I give Mikey a large smile as I open my arms to him hoping that he would let me pick him up. He lets out an adorable giggle as he climbs into my arms. Picking him up with ease I pull him close against my chest. Which causes him to purr like a little kitten as he cuddles closer to me as if he wants to take my warmth. Being very happy by this Kyle and I both let out a low happy rumble as I kiss the top of his head. "Have you eaten yet sweetie?"

I can feel him smile against me as he ends up hiding his face in my chest. Which causes his voice to be muffled. "No."

"Okay then let's get lunch. What would you like to eat?"

Mikey is silent for a bit when his stomach lets out the cutest little rumble. "Can I have rabbit? Pretty please."

As he asks, I can feel him looking up at me with big kitten eyes. Unable to hold it back I let out a chuckle as I kiss his nose which causes his nose to scrunch up. "Of course, we can. There is no way I can say no to those adorable kitten eyes. Let's put on a movie while we wait. Anything you want to watch."

"Anything I want?"

"Of course."

Placing him on the bed I grab the remote of my nightstand and hand him the remote as I join him in bed. While he looks for a movie to watch I pull him into my side. Which makes him cuddle up into me as a soft purr leaves his body. Eventually Mikey picks a movie it being The Notebook and as it plays, I listen to it. As I gently run my thumb along Mikey's arm. Halfway through the movie there is a knock at the door. Getting up I chuckle when I hear Mikey let out a cute whine in compliant. At the door is one of my pride members a young female bobcat. Taking the tray of food from her I thank her before closing the door.

Setting the tray on the bed I can hear Mikey sniff the air almost in confusion. "It's rabbit stew love."

"N-No. I've made stew before for my old pride. But I could never eat their food. I had to hunt in secret if I wanted to eat."

At hearing this Kyle and I become furious that our mate was treated like this. Baring my teeth, I let out an angry growl as Kyle's eyes take over, but only for a second. Though as soon as I feel Mikey take my hand all my anger fades as my attention is pulled to Mikey. "B-But that was the p-past and th-they aren't my pride. This is my pride now. R-right?"

Smiling softly, I lean down and kiss his lips lovingly. "That's right this is your home now. Where you will be safe and loved."

I can feel him smile against my lips as he wraps his arms around my neck as he kisses me back. We eventually pull away as both our stomachs end up growling. Getting comfy in bed I pull Mikey into my lap. Grabbing one of the bowls I grab a spoonful of stew and bring it to Mikey's mouth. As soon as he takes a bite, I hear him hold back a groan. "What do you think? Do you like it?"

Letting out a giggle he lets out an adorable. "Ah."

Chuckling as I can tell that his mouth is open for more. "I'll take that as a yes."

Giving him another spoonful, I continue to feed him till the bowl is empty. Putting down the bowl on the tray I pick up the other to start eating the other. Though the bowl is quickly taken out of my hands by Mikey. "Are you still hungry?"

"No, but you fed me, so now I feed you... p-please."

My heart melts at his words as I can't tell him no. As I give him a warm smile as I kiss his cheek. "Alright."

I let Mikey feed me until the bowl is empty. Taking the bowl away from him I place it on the tray before putting the tray on floor in a spot where I won't trip over it. Laying back in the bed with Mikey he lets out a cute yawn as he cuddles back into my side. As I listen to the movie, I hear Mikey purr as I gently rub his back till, he drifts off to sleep. As he sleeps, I let Kyle's eyes replace mine. Allowing me to see my adorable sleeping mate. Smiling softly, I kiss the top of his head as I nuzzle him. "I love you my little Kitten."

As if he could hear me, he smiles in his sleep as he mews softly. My smile grows larger as I watch him sleep. 'Um Theo.'

'What is it, Kyle?'

'Your nose. Its bleeding.'

Growling mentally, I bring my hand to my nose feeling the wet metallic liquid on my fingers. Carefully getting up out of bed without waking Mikey I head to the bathroom. Turning on the sink I make sure to wash all the blood off my skin. Making sure that my nose had stopped bleeding I double check to make sure that there is no trace of blood on my flesh. Looking at my hand I grimace slightly when I see my hand is shaking. Closing my hand into a tight fist I wait till it stops when it does, I let darkness take over my vision again. Before I remove my blood stain shirt as I then head back to bed. Covering Mikey up with the blanket I cover myself up as well. Pulling him close as he cuddles into me his purr quickly returning as its sooths me into a deep sleep.
