13. Tingling feels

"A bunny?" Victor looked at Gavin with one of his eyebrows up, knowing that if it is something small, it wouldn't really affect Gavin. Gavin sighed and ruffled his hair as he faced the ceiling.

"Well, yeah?"

"Why? You like her?" Victor randomly asked, making Gavin turn his head to face him with a questionable expression. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕? 𝑴𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚? 𝑯𝒂𝒉, 𝒏𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏.

"Pfft, stop joking around Vic, I don't have feelings like that for her," Gavin replied, chuckling a little to what his brother had said. Victor shook his head as he smiled before ruffling Gavin's hair and made a mess of it.

"Hey! What's that for?"

"Oh my dear brother, you say no now but maybe you'll just fall hard for her one day~"

"Oh come on, no I won't." Gavin rolled his eyes playfully at Victor before looking away from him. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒖𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒂𝒚, 𝑰'𝒅 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒅.

He glanced down at the floor of his and stared at it as the floor shined bright from the cleanliness but he heard a small snicker from Victor.

"You don't plan on dying as a lonely old man are you? You're not getting any younger...your gonna be as old as me soon."

"Hey I'm still 17 and your like 22." Gavin pointed out as he stood from the couch, stretching away the soreness from his sleep just now at his office.

"Are you trying to say that I'm old..."

"Your the old cabbage here, now stop. I'll get going for now see you soon." Gavin replied and teleported out of his dorm before Victor could say anything to retaliate back at him.

"Says the one whos like an iceberg here...tsk."

———————————————

Gavin teleported back to his office and he didn't even get a chance to freshen himself up...𝑰 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒂𝒓, 𝒊𝒇 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑰 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅'𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒖𝒑...

He sighed and looked over at his desk and there was Vivian still fast asleep like a log. 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒍𝒚 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏𝒃𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒉𝒖𝒉...he walked over towards her and wanted to wake her up but he stopped. 𝑺𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒖𝒑...?

He bent down to the table's level and stared at her, poking her cheek with gentle touches.

"Hey, wake up Vivian."

"Mhmm" Vivian hummed as Gavin continued to gently poke her cheeks, making her wake up from her deep slumber. She blinked a few times as he just stared at her with his cold-looking eyes.

"What time is it..." She asked, still sleepy from everything.

"It's 8.30am now-"

"What?! My class started 30 minutes ago!" Vivian sprung up from the seat, startling Gavin. She hurriedly went over to the door and tried to get out of his office but he placed chains around the door of his office, preventing her from leaving.

"Let me go for my lessons. I'm late!" He didn't reply to her so she thought of trying to teleport out of his office like how she teleported in but she couldn't. 𝑫𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝒎𝒆, 𝒉𝒆 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆...She thought, looking at him with her straight face.

"What is it now Gavin..." She asked, hoping for a quick reply from him so that she can leave for her lesson but instead he kept his silence and started walking over to her.

When he stood in front of her, he took her hand and settled her down on the comfy soft couch. 𝑫𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒆? She stared at him in silence.

"You don't look like a bunny when you have those dark eye circles under your eyes, it makes you look like a panda instead."

"And that because of who again...?"

"You can rest here, for the time being, I'll let your teachers know so you don't have to worry." 𝒉𝒖𝒉, 𝒊𝒔 𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒆? Vivian tilted her head and stared intensely at Gavin.

"If there is nothing else, I'll go do my stuff..." he stood up from the couch and was about to walk away when she noticed a tail. 𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒘𝒐𝒍𝒇'𝒔 𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍? 𝑰𝒕 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒇𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔...

She reached out to his tail and grabbed it gently, making him flinch and look at her. 𝑾𝒐𝒂𝒉...𝒊𝒕𝒔'𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒆𝒅 𝒔𝒐𝒇𝒕~ she has never touched a werewolf's tail before, so this was a first for her to touch and feel one.

"Hey stop touching my tail!" Gavin shouted as he transformed back into his human form, making his ears and tail fade away.

"Awww, come on~ Your ears and tail are so cute and soft~ and it makes you look cuter this way~!" She honestly spoke her mind as her eyes glimmered and looked cutely at him but he wasn't taking it too well as his face was flushed red like a tomato.

"Are you okay?" Vivian noticed his face state and wanted to make sure that Gavin was fine and not sick.

"Just take a rest and don't bother me." He turned around, making his way to his desk, and took out a history book to read. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏?

𝑶𝒉 𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍...𝒊𝒇 𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔𝒃𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉- 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒎𝒏𝒚 𝒅𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝑰 𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒓𝒐𝒘 𝒏𝒐𝒘? Vivian used her hands to count the days that she has not been in class and sighed.

She put down her hands, giving up on counting since she, herself can't remember how long has she not been in class.

Vivian laid down on the couch and faced the ceiling with her eyes closed. 𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒏𝒐𝒘...she thought as she slowly dozed off into her dreamland of darkness.

Meanwhile, Gavin was just sitting by his desk and staring into the history book that he took. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒍𝒚 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇. He hid his face behind the book as he remembered what happened just now?

𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒎𝒚 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒉𝒐𝒕...𝒂𝒎 𝑰 𝒔𝒊𝒄𝒌? He touched his cheeks and it wasn't hot meaning that he was fine but somehow he was feeling a little different somewhere. Somewhere that he can't put his fingers on.

There was a slight tingling feeling in his chest that he was feeling but he didn't know what it was. 𝑰'𝒎 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒂 𝒉𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕?

𝑴𝒂𝒚𝒃𝒆 𝑰 𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒑𝒖𝒕 𝒂 𝒅𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒃𝒖𝒏𝒏𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏. Gavin peeked up from the book and silence filled the room.

He gently placed down his book and walked over to Vivian, who was sleeping soundly again. Though, they aren't friends or anything, he does kind of feel comfortable around her, her presence, and her nonsense.

He sighed, seeing how peaceful she is when she sleeps. He bent down and stared down at her, 𝑰 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒑, 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔...He thought as he placed a strand of her hair that was in her face, behind her ears.

"Platinum silver hair with eyes like clear amethyst... small face, a straight high nose, and a pink glossy cherry-like lips," Gavin mumbled out as he traced Vivian'a facial features with his finger and his finger ended up on her lips.

Then a flash of what happened early when She showed him her cute-looking face, made him blush.

Realizing what he was doing, he took away his finger and sat down on the floor facing the table. 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒕 𝑰'𝒎 𝒅𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇...He sighed, ruffling his hair, making a mess out of it.

"Mhmm, carrots..." 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕? He was about to turn around to check on her when her arms swung around his neck and hugged him close.

Gavin froze, he could feel her hot breath near his neck as a small cold wind blew around his neck. 𝑨𝒎 𝑰 𝒂 𝒔𝒖𝒃𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒕𝒖𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒘...? 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝑰 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝑰 𝒄𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒕.

He tried releasing himself from her but she didn't want to let go. Her arm was strongly weighing down on him yet it was gentle at the same time.

He gave up after many attempts of trying and just sat on the floor, by her side. 𝑰 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒉𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒑 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏...he laid his head back and stared at the ceiling.

Gavin didn't have anything to do so he just sat around, he left his book on his desk and couldn't move. He was about to get relaxed, when he felt something weird by his neck.

He glanced over his shoulders to see Vivian snuggling around his neck with her head on his shoulders. He could feel her hair brushing against his neck and it felt ticklish but he rolled his eyes and tried to push her head off him.

𝑮𝒐𝒔𝒉, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒂𝒛𝒚. He wanted to try again when felt something smooth and slimy wet on his neck. Then the feeling of something piercing into his neck came and it felt utterly familiar to him like this has already happened before somewhere.

𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒏... A tingling sensation that tickled Gavin, made his cheeks hot that a tint of pink could be seen.

It turns out Vivian had bit Gavin on his neck and started licking his blood that was flowing out. He held in the pain and let her do what she wanted since he couldn't get her off him nor get her to wake up.

After a while, the pain he felt on his neck subsided and she had stopped what she was doing but didn't let go of him.

"Taste...sweet..." Gavin heard her mumble something out but couldn't make out the full sentence. 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒔 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕? 𝑾𝒂𝒊𝒕 𝒏𝒐, 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕?

He wondered as he touched the part where Vivian had bit him, the pain wasn't there nor did he feel anything weird. It was the same feeling that he had felt before at the lab...𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕'𝒔 𝒘𝒆𝒊𝒓𝒅.

He shook off the weird thoughts and sat in place, with the quiet silence in the room. The hallways outside were silent as students were having their lessons.

The quietness made Gavin feel more relaxed and his eyes started to get heavier. Without any time wasted, he fell asleep slowly with Vivian still hugging him close.
