“There was one monster though that was worse than all the rest, he’s the only one that could withstand the sun, he could easily navigate himself through the woods to prey on anyone who wandered there. Legend has it that there was a standoff, that this monster went into such a bloodlust that he killed all of his own kind before making it to the town. He started attacking everyone he could, getting through half the town before finally the sheriff and his men came and shot a bullet dead between the monsters’ eyes, but still, he stood there, and in his anger started to attack the cops.”

He could hear a couple of people around him start to mutter amongst themselves, some were even hugging each other in comfort, curious to know the ending despite how scared they were.

“After shooting and hitting him so many time, eventually they brought him down, only he managed to slip away back into the woods before they could kill him. The Sheriff told the town that he had died, that his injuries were too serious to have been able to survive, and after that, the town celebrated his death and have done so every year since. But, what they don’t tell you is how every few years another set of bones will be found somewhere in the woods. Teams of cops and rangers have scanned every inch of that forest and have found nothing, and yet the bones keep showing up, and late at night if you listen carefully, you can hear him walking through the town, prowling for the next child he’s going to take”

The room was stunned silent, despite the many questions he had he couldn’t bring himself to ask them, too busy thinking about if he were next if the monster knew where he lived.

“I don’t like that story” The boy next to him said, he saw the nods of some of the other kids, but he couldn’t help his curiosity, he wanted to find this monster, to see it.

“You kids wanted scary so I gave you scary” George said in his defense, about to leave them in favor of his replacement, but not before he could ask the older kid some questions.

“What does the monster look like?” Everyone turned to look at him as he asked his question, but they all turned to the older kid, listening intently for the answer.

“Nobody knows for certain anymore. The only thing we do know is that his claws and teeth are stained red from the blood of all the people he’s hurt. Some people even say he can turn into an animal which is why nobody can find him”

“Have you seen him? Is that why you know so much?”

“No, he hasn’t been seen in hundreds of years, I only know this because someone told me this story when I was your age”

“I’m gonna find him” He said it so confidently that it left no room for debate, a couple of his friends giggled a little, but he stood firm, he’d find this monster no matter how long it took. Maybe he could convince Luke to go out with him to try and look for him.

“Gonna find who?” The sound of Luke coming into the class broke through his thoughts and he got up to run and greet his best friend.

“I’m gonna find the monster in the woods” He saw Luke cast a glance at the older kid before putting on a smile.

“You’re gonna go find Ohm?”

“Ohm?”

“Yeah that’s his name, Ohmwrecker, but I’ve always just called him Ohm, I read it in class once. Want some help to find him?”

“YEAH! C’mon Luke lets go” He proceeded to start dragging Luke out of the room and when they got outside he broke into a run, making a beeline for the forest edge whilst he heard Luke shouting after him to wait up.

[23 years later]

He wiped the sweat off his brow as he stood up from his position under the car’s hood, taking a moment for a drink of water whilst admiring his progress. All the heavy work had been done, all that was left was changing the fluids and re-wiring a couple of components and the car was good to go. He was too busy looking at the components that he didn’t hear someone enter the garage, only jumping when a pair of arms wrapped around him, a quick kiss was placed on his cheek before he pushed the person, now laughing, away.

“The hell you sneakin’ up on me like that for, could’a given me a heart attack” despite his words he couldn’t help but laugh a little as Luke was choking on his own laugh, trying and failing several times to get a sentence out.

“You should’a seen your face…almost as good as that time you woke up to a beetle on your pillow” Luke kept laughing, his face now bright red as he was bent down trying to catch his breath.

He grabbed the cloth on his workbench before whipping it across Lukes ass, falling into his own fit of laughter as Luke swore before the older man grabbed his own cloth and tried to retaliate, only narrowly missing his target.

It then turned into an all-out war, each of them trying to get closer to the other to get a hit in but not close enough to get hit. It was when he managed to get a strong hit on Lukes’ thigh that the older man just launched at him, both of them wrestling on the spot as they tried to one-up each other, which eventually lead into a tickle fight which had him at the mercy of the older man.

“Enough….enough. I need to get back to work” Even as he said it he still held onto Luke, who’s hands had gone from tickling to roaming.

“That’s only gonna take you an hour. Take a break, I’ve got something new I wanna try out on you” He shivered at Lukes words, the older man knowing his effect on him as he started to place light kisses across his neck, every fiber of his being wanting to do what Luke said but the job came first.

“Here I thought I’d be getting wined and dined after work but it’s just straight to the point with you, you’re such a gentleman” He felt Luke chuckle against his neck, sending another shiver down his spine.

“Ain’t had any complaints before”

He let Luke kiss his way across his throat, the older man’s hands wandering down to his ass before he pulled away, pressing a quick kiss on Lukes’ lips before shooing him away, instantly feeling the cold air of the garage now that Luke wasn’t on him.

“Later. I’m sure you’ll find a way to entertain yourself for an hour”

Luke sighed before turning to head out, he quickly grabbed hold of his cloth and whipped it across Lukes’ ass again, laughing as the older man swore his revenge as he left rubbing his ass.

As predicted it took a little under an hour to finish fixing the car, he called up the woman to tell her the car was ready and arranged a pick-up time for tomorrow, before he locked the shop up and made the short walk back to his house.

He’s not going to deny that he loves living in this town, years ago his parents had begged for him to move away to a bigger city, to somewhere where there’d be better opportunities, but he refused.

He loved the town, loved how quaint and quiet it was and that everybody knew everyone, although that meant business was slow, he still managed to keep his head above water.

His best friend turned boyfriend was another reason he stayed, the older man too choosing to stay in the town as a forest ranger. The only downside was that sometimes Luke could be gone for days at a time, and although he knew the man could handle himself, he couldn’t help but worry until his boyfriend finally came back through their door and into his arms again.

The final reason he stayed was for Ohm, through the years he’d never given up his search, still intent on seeking the monster out even though everyone else had called him crazy for trying. Luke had long given up the search, however, would still humor him by going in walks through the forest every other weekend to try and search him out.

He swears he’d seen something once, a dark shadow against an even darker night with long ears and glowing eyes, but Luke had just pegged it down to glow worms, showing him the small group of the insects that were stationed not far from their tent. Even so, he still believed he saw the monster, that he was out there still.

He stopped that thought when he reached his front door, smiling when he saw Luke preparing dinner in the kitchen as he entered their house.

“So, you can be a gentleman, that wasn’t too hard was it” Luke looked up towards him, giving him a brief smile before he carried on with whatever he was doing.

“Well you know what they say, happy wife happy life”

“You shush your mouth, if anyone’s the wife here it’s you, wife”

Luke simply chuckled as he worked, leaving him to get washed up and ready for dinner. A quick shower and a change of clothes made him feel like a new man and he quickly made his way to the kitchen where he leaned against the counter waiting for Luke to finish.

“Jon, you better get your ass out the way right now or I’ll smack it so hard you’ll feel it for week” He stood his ground, if anything leaning out further and blocking Luke’s way as he swayed his hips, it was only when Luke went to put down the pan he was holding did he scurry away to the other side of the counter and out the kitchen. “That’s what I thought bitch”

“Whatever bitch” he teased back as Luke finished the last bits and pieces before handing him a plate, quickly digging into the steak Luke had cooked him before Luke interjected.

“I didn’t spend the last hour slaving away on dinner for you to scoff it down like a goddamn animal” With that he picked up the plate as he was chewing, following Luke to the living room where they settled on the couch to eat their dinner.

When they were done he grabbed their plates and cleaned up the kitchen, before returning to Luke to try and convince him to go for an evening walk in the forest. It took some convincing but a blowjob later and they were both walking through the forest in the last remnants of daylight. They’d strayed from the track long ago, Luke knowing this part of the forest like the back of his hand, was able to easily guide them through the trees.

It was just starting to get dark when they went to head back, however, they didn’t travel far before Luke stopped him and put himself in front, gun drawn. In front of them, he could just make out a couple of Cayotes, fighting his instinct to run as they stared them down.

It was then that Luke started shouting, trying to be as loud as possible in order to deter them, however, it had little effect, the two of them gradually getting closer and getting into what looked like a pounce.

In the blink of an eye the both of them launched, he heard the gunshot but still, the two animals were heading towards them, as he braced himself for the hit, it was then that seemingly out of nowhere a man appeared and tackled one of the animals. The man didn’t hesitate when he grabbed the other Cayote by the tail and swung it around until he was between the two of them and the two animals.

The man then launched himself at the animals, wrestling with the both of them so that it was hard to make out, he doesn’t know how long they stood there until the two animals ran away, in the dying light he could just about make out several dark patches of blood on their fur.

The man stood up slowly, stumbling where he stood as he held his chest and that’s when he noticed the big rabbit ears sticking out of his head. The hybrid made it two steps before he started to fall, he saw Luke run out to catch him, mumbling something to him before putting him on his shoulders and jogging somewhere away from the direction of town.

He had no choice but to follow Luke, not knowing exactly how to get out of the forest meant that he could be stuck there for hours until he was found. He struggled to keep up, just able to keep them in sight until eventually, he saw a small cabin up in the distance.

By the time he got in the man was lying in a bed with his shirt ripped off, he could see blood oozing from several points on his abdomen whilst Luke was haphazardly looking through shelves.

“Jon, I need you to keep pressure on those wounds okay” Without a word he did as he was told, grabbing the mans bloodied shirt and pressing it over what seemed to be the worst of his injuries.

While he stood there he looked at the man in front of him, if that’s even what he could call him. He looked human except for what appeared to be two large rabbit ears sticking out of his head, he also had claws instead of fingernails and teeth a lot sharper than his own.

Before he could question Luke, said man pushed him aside slightly and started to stitch up the wound he was holding on his chest before bandaging it. Luke took the time to bandage a couple other wounds on his chest but at this point, the man was a pale white and looked on the edge of death’s door.

“Jon I need you to listen to me okay” It took him a moment to come to his senses but eventually he turned to Luke and gave a nod. “I need you to stay here and keep an eye on him while I go back to town to get supplies. I need more bandages and disinfectant otherwise he won’t live much longer you understand” He could only nod, mind blank to all else but Lukes’ commands which echoed around in his head. “I know this is tough right now and I’m sure you have a lot of questions but trust me okay? I’ll be back before you know it” Luke gave him a weak smile back before pulling him forwards and placing a small peck on his lips before leaving the cabin.

With a shaky breath, he collected his thoughts, turning to face his patient as they waited out the night.

He has no idea how much time passed, it felt like hours before he saw the man’s hand twitch and his eyes slowly start to open.

“Luke?” The man tried to get up, but he quickly stopped him, making sure he was settled in bed before answering him.

“Lukes out at the minute, he’ll be back soon” The man nodded to himself before turning his head slightly to face him.

“You must be Jon”

“How do you know that?” He tried to keep the panic out of his voice as the man in front of him just smiled softly at him.

“Luke told me, he talks about you all the time. Although I was hoping to meet under better circumstances” the man tried to laugh which instantly turned into a wince and groan of pain before trying to catch his breath again.

“How the fuck do you know Luke? Who the fuck are you? Why-“ The man started to cough heavily, putting a pause on his questions. He got up from his seat, scanning around the small room until he found a bottle of water, handing it to the man who accepted it gratefully.

“You know who I am, you just can’t admit it yet” The man’s words stunned him but the more he thought about it, the more he realized he had been right, he could almost hear the click in his head as all the pieces came together.

“Ohm?”

“Bingo” A million new questions flooded his mind, one replacing the other until he himself was confused. “I met Luke years ago, he saved me, much like he did today. Since then we’ve kept in touch, doing favors for each other when needed. He kept people away and warned me when they wouldn’t listen to him and in return, if there were some wild animals causing havoc I would take care of them”

“Why didn’t he tell me? I wanted to see you since I was a kid and he’s known you for years?” He couldn’t keep the pain out of his voice, feeling the sharp sting of betrayal in his chest.

“I asked him not too. I was worried you might start telling people and have the hunting start again. I’m sorry I didn’t trust you, but I can promise you Luke wanted nothing more than to tell you and I know keeping me a secret has weighed heavily on him.” He had no words, too busy trying to process everything Ohm was saying, he knew it wasn’t Lukes’ fault but that feeling of betrayal wouldn’t leave. “He loves you, you know. He talks about you all the time, about how great and amazing you are. It got to the point where I was starting to fall in love with you”

They both chuckled at that, glad at the humor to dissipate the bad taste in his mouth at the earlier news.

“Is it true what they say? Did you really kill all those people?”

Ohm took another drink of water before laying back down, he noticed the monster wince in pain a couple of times but let him be.

“No. I helped the townsfolk, protected them, and they repaid me by trying to kill me, by trying to hunt me down and then they make me sound as if I’m the monster” He could hear the bitterness in Ohms’ voice, a small part of him feeling guilty for the fate that had befallen him. “It’s true that monsters once roamed around here, and it’s true that they used to kidnap and eat children, but I’d stop them if I could. I killed my own kin, my friends, to protect them, and when all was said and done, when I was the last one left they invited me to join them, to live alongside them and be their guardian. Like a fool, I took their offer, and that night they burnt my house down, I only just made it out before they shot me right here.” Ohm then pointed his finger dead center between his eyes, if he looked closely he could just make out a small scar, but otherwise there was no sign he was shot. “They beat me through the street, kicking me when I fell until I stood back up. They tied me up and put me on a pyre, words can’t explain the sheer agony when you feel the fire start to lick at you” It was there that Ohm stopped, clearly overcome with emotion, and all he could do was rub a supporting hand on his shoulder which the man seemed to appreciate.

“How did you survive?” He spoke quietly, not wanting to push the man to continue.

The man gave a laugh with no humor before answering “I turned into a rabbit. Didn’t even know I could, didn’t question it, I just ran the fuck outta there. Course I didn’t know how to change back, although it helped when they sent searching parties out looking for me. I’ve learnt to control it now, it’s why you didn’t see me running up on them Cayotes earlier.”

“That was fuckin’ badass by the way, stupid, but badass” That brought a smile to Ohm’s face.

“Well I’m glad you think so, Luke wasn’t so appreciative of my sweet moves. In fact, I believe he called me a ‘fuckin’ idiot’” He burst into laughter at Ohms’ impersonation of Luke, having sounded nothing like his boyfriend.

That’s how Luke found them, both of them bent over laughing, which only seemed to increase when he asked them what the fuck they thought was so funny. When all he got was their laughter as an answer he silently questioned why these two ever had to meet, before heading towards Ohm to finish treating him.

It was when Ohm had fallen asleep, having taken a couple pills that Luke had handed him, that Luke pulled him to one side, guilty look on his face.

“Jon, there’s som-“

“I know, Ohm told me everything” He saw Luke let go of the breath he was holding “In the beginning I was mad, I didn’t see how you could’a’ kept him a secret from me, but I know you were just tryin’ to protect him, even though you should trust me by now”

“I know, it was a fuckin’ shitty thing to do but after the stories he’s told me I didn’ wanna risk anyone findin’ out ‘bout him, keepin’ this from you was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do” He knew that this was what Luke was going to say but despite that it still quashed a lot of the pain he felt.

“I know” With that he leaned up and pressed his lips against Luke, just staying connected in that moment until eventually, they broke away. “So, I hear you like to talk about me”

He laughed when Lukes’ face started to turn red “Don’t flatter yourself, I don’t talk about you that much”

“That’s not what Ohm said, says you talk about me so damn much he started to fall in love with me. Maybe I should be with Ohm, at least he’ll appreciate me”

“Don’t you fuckin’ dare, I’m gonna kill that man I swear to god” He could only laugh at Lukes’ reaction which was quickly silenced by the older man’s lips pressing on his. “I’m sure Ohm doesn’t want to be woken up by your crazy ass laugh.” He glanced towards Ohm who made no sign of movement, however, Luke still put a hand round his waist and led them out the house before he could form any kind of rebuttal. “Let’s get the fuck home, I think I’m gonna sleep for a week”

With that, Luke navigated them towards home through the dredges of light filtering through the leaves from the rising sun.

From that day on him and Luke regularly visited Ohm, in the beginning, it was to check up on how he was doing but he and Ohm were quick to become friends, much to Lukes’ dismay.

After a few months he suggested that Ohm come and live with them, which was met with a flat out no, but after weeks of persuasion, of trying to reaffirm that around people Ohm could be in his rabbit form and himself when alone. Gradually he started to come round to the idea, the fact that he’d be living with people for once and the comfort and support they could bring seemed to outweigh the dangers.

They got used to living with Ohm pretty quickly, most days he’d join Luke when he made his routes around the forest and the days he didn’t he’d prepare and cook dinner for them when they got home.

He couldn’t describe a better feeling than when the three of them were gathered together either watching some shitty tv or arguing about alliances in Monopoly.

It was a shock then when in the very early hours of the morning when he’d gotten up to get himself a glass of water that he heard his name being moaned? He headed back towards his room to look towards Luke, the older man deep asleep. Confused he headed back towards the kitchen only to hear Lukes’ name now being moaned.

He pressed his ear up against Ohms’ room and could very faintly hear breathless moans fill the night’s silence, occasionally either his or Lukes’ name being called out, leaving no doubt as to what their friend was doing. He stood there unable to move, quieting the part of his brain that said he didn’t want to move until he heard a muffled shout through the door.

He was quick to make his escape, forgoing his water in favor of jumping up onto his bed as he started to wake Luke up.

“Luke…Luke, Luke you have to wake up”

“Th’ fuck you want”

“I just heard Ohm fuckin’ jerkin’ off to us”

“And? Let the guy get off to whatever he wants”

“Doesn’t it freak you out though?” There was no immediate answer, and for a moment he thought that Luke may have fallen asleep again before he heard the older man sigh and then move to sit up.

“Yeah it’s a little weird but we can’t jus’ kick him out”

“What do we do? I can’t jus’ pretend that everythin’s fine”

“Well try to, now fuckin’ go to sleep” With that Luke turned away from him and settled back down, quickly falling back to sleep, but try as he might he couldn’t.

He couldn’t stop thinking about Ohm, about what it meant, about how to go on with this new information. At some point he managed to fall asleep however, it wasn’t long after that his alarm woke him up, cursing it as he sat up in bed.

He groggily walked to the kitchen, not paying attention as he poured himself a cup of coffee and took as big a sip as he dared before burning his tongue.

“You look like shit” The voice caused him to jump and he was met with peals of laughter which he know knew belonged to their resident monster. “Rough night?”

“You could say that” He took another sip of his coffee as Ohm only laughed, he couldn’t help but tense up a little as Ohm made his way towards him, stopping in front of him.

“May I try something? It should help you feel better”

Despite a part of him telling him not to he gave a nod towards Ohm, the man gently turning him around until his back was facing him.

He shivered as he felt the light touch of Ohms claws start to trail around his back, seemingly forming some strange patterns and he couldn’t help as another shiver traveled down his spine. Gradually he felt a heat gather in his stomach, the more Ohm traced on his back the stronger it got. When it started to get uncomfortable he felt Ohm place his whole hand on his back and mutter a few words, causing the burning sensation to go entirely.

When he felt Ohm move away he opened his eyes and stretched his back. He couldn’t lie that he felt rejuvenated, that he had boundless energy and could run a marathon right that second.

“Better?”

“Yeah actually, the hell you do?”

“I’ve still got some of the old magic in me” Before he could question the use of magic, Ohm said his goodbyes before heading back to his room.

For the rest of the day he was distracted, no matter what he tried to do to concentrate on his work, he couldn’t stop thinking about Ohm, about what if. If they could ever be plausible.

That’s how it went for the next couple of weeks and Luke was no better, Ohm calling them out constantly on them being seemingly absent from the present. It was one morning that he was met with Ohm coming out of the shower, water droplets falling down his back and he couldn’t stop the twitch his dick gave at the sight.

He cursed himself, going through loops in his head as he thought what this meant not only for him but his relationship with Luke as well.

That night the two of them talked into the early hours about their situation, whether they were going to address it.

They’d gotten up a little earlier to try and beat Ohm to the kitchen, making themselves some coffee which they didn’t drink, their stomachs twisting into knots at what was going to happen.

It was just after 6 that Ohm came through to the kitchen, ears drooping down the sides of his face and he had to dispel the thought of how cute he looked. Ohm noticed them immediately, and from what he saw he knew it was serious.

“What’s up, guys? Something wrong?” He and Luke both looked at each other to confirm their decision with the other, that this was going to be their next step.

“We know Ohm, we know how you feel about us” Lukes’ voice broke through the silence and he could see Ohms face blanch, a look of horror coming across his face.

“I’m sorry, I never..I-..” tears started to brim the monster’s eyes and he could hear the emotion choking him up “I’m so sorry, I get it if you want me to go-” Ohm didn’t wait for an answer, instead he started to walk out of the kitchen, however, he quickly got up off of his seat to grab hold of the monsters arm, turning him around and pressing their lips together.

Ohm seemed to melt at the touch, clinging onto his arms for dear life until they had to part for air. He saw Luke coming up behind Ohm, wrapping his arms around the smaller man before pressing a kiss on his neck, Ohm seemingly fell back against Luke as he let himself be victim to their attack.

It wasn’t long before Luke carried them both to their room and dropped them both onto the bed, quickly they became a mess of tangled limbs and he didn’t need to ask them to know that they all felt that this was right.

Their peace was short-lived, all it took was one peeping tom peering through their window to spot Ohm and rumors were quick to spread around the town. Although originally pegged as nonsense, there were some who took it seriously and they all but barged into their house to get their answers.

They were quick to become the talk of the town, a few residents spoke of forming a mob with pitchforks and torches which the three of them could only scoff at, they’d see how those would fare against Lukes vast gun collection should push come to shove.

There were some sane and reasonable voices in the crowd though who were willing to hear their side, and although there were a couple who refused to believe Ohms telling of events the majority of the town supported him. Not that they cared too much, they’d be staying there regardless of what the town thought.
