Finn groaned, rolling his eyes and stomping down the rest of the stairs into his boyfriend's room. He stopped in front of Kurt then, leaning down and kissing him quickly as if he wanted to claim that he was Kurt's boyfriend and that Hunter being here didn't change that at all, despite the other boy's disinterest.

"You didn't answer my question. Doesn't he have to get back to his precious private school or something? Why is he always here?"

"Because he's my friend and he's upset, so he gets to stay here for as long as he wants to sleep on the floor and as long as his cat doesn't get hair all over my clothes again" Kurt replied curtly, rolling his eyes now at his boyfriend's obvious jealousy. "If it bothers you so much, don't come down here. You'll know when he's left."

"I just don't understand why he's got to be hours away from his own house and school and why does he get to skip?"

"I'm not skipping" Hunter said simply, adjusting the outfit that Kurt had put on Mr. Puss as he spoke. "We're on break. They give us slightly extended breaks so we're able to travel. I don't see why that's any business of yours though. I was invited here and, as long as it doesn't bother Kurt, I'm staying until I have to go back."

"It doesn't bother me! I don't care! I'm going to make a sandwich!"

"Don't hurt yourself."

"Shut up, freeloader!"

Silently, she put his collar around his neck, smiling softly at him as she ruffled his hair and nodded to assure him that tonight would be okay.

"You're going to be a good boy for me tonight" she stated simply, feeling pleased as he relaxed under her touch. She wasn't called the best dog trainer in Lima for nothing. "Now, wait there and I'll make you something to eat before we go for walkies!"

Hunter looked up at her through narrowed eyes. No matter how many times she came through unscathed, he just couldn't believe she'd somehow tamed the beast inside him that almost killed his last lover. There was no way a tiny girl like her would be able to defend herself if the last person he'd been with couldn't do so either. But he wouldn't bother arguing with her right now. He would be changing soon and him responding would be nothing more than growls and snarls he was sure.

As Sugar wrapped ham up in slices of cheese, she heard the loud whining and yipping that made her stomach turn into knots. She hated hearing Hunter in any sort of pain, but she knew there was no way to stop it as his bones twisted to take shape of a completely different kind of animal. All she knew was that he'd be hungry once he changed and that he would definitely want his favorite treat. After she finished making his dinner, she made her way into the room where she'd left him, a big grin on her face as she saw his tail wag at the mere sight of her.

"Hi, puppy!" she squealed, watching as he perked up even more at the sound of her voice. If there was anything that gave her ego a big boost, it was Hunter as a wolf. "Are you hungry?"

He licked his lips then, causing her to giggle, before she held one cheese wrapped ham-wich in her hand and gave him the simple command of 'sit'. He did so obediently, tail wagging even faster as he waited patiently for his food.

Mackenzie rolled her eyes at her boyfriend's macho attitude, knowing full well she could take out any zombie that wanted to tangle with her. She wasn't some dainty flower, but she'd let him believe it for right now instead of arguing about it. She didn't have the patience for it right now. She crossed her arms over his chest as she waited, hoping that he wouldn't end up stepping into some kind of trap because they were running low on first aid kit supplies to begin with and she wasn't exactly the best at practicing bedside manner.

"All clear!" came Hunter's voice from within the confines of the shack, the sound bouncing off the walls in a small echo that made his ears ring. He hated having to do this day after day. It was exhausting. His thoughts were interrupted, however, by the fact that his gorgeous girlfriend stepped inside, rapidly finding a way to block off the only entrance so they would be able to sleep without worry tonight. He was so impressed with her and the way she was handling all of this. She was incredible and he couldn't help but admire her strength. "Come here..."

Mack looked over at him with an eyebrow raised in interest, sauntering over towards him with a small smirk on her face.

"What do you want, Clarington?"

"I want..."

He trailed off, leaning in to kiss her gently as he cupped her face and pulled her in closer to him. It was a long kiss, soft and conveying many emotions that he had a hard time expressing aloud. It wasn't until they broke about that he finally finished his sentence.
