Welcome to The Duality of Man, an original animanga role-play that features numerous supernatural creatures. Unfortunately, these various species have distanced themselves because of the war that occurred thousands of years ago, plaguing some with eyes that only see their dualism. While others meddle themself with their differences, two groups fight, each attempting to eliminate the other in for their definition of worldly peace. These two groups of the Terror Response Syndicate (TRS) and the Assembly of Phantoms (AP). With individuals fighting merely over their differences, it brings uncertainty to the outcome of this war.
We happily accept all role-players as long as they obey the rules and are capable of meeting our word count of 50. This does include those who are unfamiliar with this style of role-playing.

Summer 2024
Heat has broken through into a glorious summer. The snow has entirely dried through the spring, leaving to the brilliance of the warmer months. Terror activity has risen as people are brought out of their homes, leaving the TRS in a position of consistent work. Each are attempting to maintain victory in the endless struggle for power.
Since the wonderful members of TDOM enjoy the site enough to play around on it, this thread is to assist with the site's tidying! Functionality is important and we want to make the site functional even if its activity will be minimal at best!

Cautiously, Arlo inched his way onto the puddle, attempting to avoid cracking the ice beneath. Ears were pricked high, although, they were not fixated on danger, but rather the subtle sounds of ice cracking beneath his paws. There were creaks and whines from the ice as the hellhound inched further across the puddle. Eventually, bright white cracks contrast against the dull greys of the puddles, making it evident the ice was breaking from his weight. Years had passed since Arlo had weighed light enough to smoothly cross puddles without leaving a single crack.
[break][break]
Gradually, Arlo's steps managed to break through the thin ice covering of the puddle, his paws dipping into the cold depths. Briefly, the hellhound's ears folded back, head drooping in defeat as he trotted forward. There were times he wished he could return to his childhood, however, becoming youthful again would only make his favourite hobby difficult. Few boys would be interested in a child, and those who enjoyed the inappropriate company of a child were disgusting and unattractive. Flirting was simply Arlo's favoured activity, especially with his innocent boyfriend who blushed at those compliments.
[break][break]
There was something charming about witnessing Nicholas' face turn a deep red hue, thus the hellhound refused to accomplish anything which could become potentially detrimental to his current relationship. A few slow steps were taken before the wind embraced Arlo's pelt, the criminal's tongue lulling out and ears pricked as leaves caught the wind. Immediately, he gambolled afterwards, gleefully scurrying across the wanderer's meadow, similar to a mere dog. Jovially, he moved, liveliness in his actions as he quickly followed the leaves, although, did not invoke his enhanced speed.
[break][break]
Evidently, the dark-furred wolf provided little care to the dangers of the wilderness while enjoying his pleasurable run. Adventure and enjoyment filled the air around him, Arlo feeling as though he waited decades to finally escape his room for the gradual increasing heat of spring. The hellhound found winter gloomy, boring and extremely cold, making it unpleasurable for him; the only enjoyment was packing snow together to throw at Phoenix! Pawsteps began leading Arlo towards the edge of the forest, eyes widening as he caught the scent of wolf lingering on the air.
[break][break]
Immediately, the motion was halted as Arlo's ears pricked and he closed his mouth, lifting his muzzle to sniff the surrounding air. There were the subtle sounds of wind quietly rustling the trees alongside the nearly inaudible noise of forest life. The slightest rustles of the underbrush in the distance and the cawing of crows who stuck through the miserable winter. Carefully, the hellhound's red eyes scanned the treeline bordering wanderer's meadow before stopping to stare. On the forest edge sat another wolf with a pelt of impressive golden fur, a rather beautiful and stunning trait.
[break][break]
A brief paused occurred as Arlo hastily assessed the situation before allowing his tongue to happily lull out, footsteps carrying him towards the fellow wolf. Gleeful yips escaped the hellhound's steps as he hurried forward without hesitation, making it evident. The lack of wariness or concerned over being potentially bitten or growled came naturally to Arlo. The young criminal survived enemies using abilities against him or firearms against him, thus the possibly angry actions of a territorial wolf were not worrying.
[break][break]
Escape, should it be necessary, could be easily obtained through invoking abilities against the strange wolf. While Arlo would attempt to avoid critically harming the poor creature, he could not simply allow death to arrive at the paws of a meagre wolf; that would be a pathetic end for a capable hitman. There were hopes the golden wolf would recognize his desire to play instead of fight. The hellhound merely wished to wrestle and play fight considering how relaxing to became to cut loose and pretend to be a full-blown wolf rather than a young adult.
[break][break]
These moments were an excellent stress reliever, Arlo finding it easier to maintain his cheerful expressions through gaining the opportunity to forget about the daily problems in life.

Spring only recently arrived in Lorsette, causing the weather to gradually become warmer. Despite the recent arrival of improved weather, snow still littered the ground in shallow clumps. The afternoon was pleasantly cloudless, a fortunate gift provided by mother nature. Sunlight was allowed to pour over the land, creating warmth for the creatures bellowed. There remained a subtle chill in the air, but the increasing degrees still resulted in a broad smile touching Arlo's face. When he finally woke from his slumber, the hellhound hastily stuffed his face with breakfast before grabbing a sweater and coat.
[break][break]
Quickly, the dark-haired man shoved his cellphone into the depths of his jacket, refusing to be completely disconnected from his boyfriend, Nicholas. Years were spent attempting to discover the perfect boyfriend, thus Arlo hoped he found an incredible individual who could provide his desires. Admittedly, the hellhound had fantasized over finding an excellent boyfriend, praying for the day to arrive where there could be mutually shared affection between him and another individual; for something that felt undying.
[break][break]
Exiting through the threshold of Norwood Manor was marvellous, fresh air surrounding Arlo as he took a deep breath. A chill remained, the breath was oddly calming as thoughts of a slowly arriving summon entered the hellhound's mind. Winter was a bitter time for his species, the young man frequently risking the possibility of sickness because of the frigid temperatures. Spring and summer were truthfully the seasons which made Arlo extremely happy, the warm temperatures fueling the dark-haired man with incredible power; the heat made his abilities stronger.
[break][break]
Gleefully, Arlo skipped down the sidewalks, enjoying the weather improvements as he gradually headed in the direction of the wilderness. When the snow began melting, life would slowly return to the wilderness, providing a surreal vibe of animals waking from the cold temperatures. While there could be dangers with wild animals rousing from their winter's rest, hungry from several months of sleep, the hellhound maintained a carefree expression. The capabilities of his shifted form could easily allow him to avoid peril; shifted, he was faster and stronger than most animals.
[break][break]
In emergency situations, there was his easily accessed fire manipulation which could easily frighten away any predators attempting to do him harm. Curiosity remained in his mind as Arlo approached the edge of the forest, wondering if there were wolves close to the city boundaries. Discovering a potential playmate would be interesting, albeit, unlikely considering he would be a foreign wolf attempting to play. However, the dark-haired man could still be hopeful that he could be blessed with luck. Extreme consequences were improbable considering Arlo could easily intimidate or escape the impending threat.
[break][break]
A few steps were taken into the forest before the hellhound got down on his hands and knees, allowing his body to transform. Gradually, his clothing disappeared into thick, black fur which covered his animal form; a small black-furred wolf with bright red eyes. The cellphone would have disappeared temporarily, it was provided with a special charmed to make it return once he shifted back into his human form. After transforming into his wolf form, Arlo trotted through the trees, gradually exploring the wilderness which was littered with snow.
[break][break]
Patches were evident, revealing the grass beneath the blanket of white. The hellhound's steps sped up, thoughts fixating on the possibility of Wanderer's Meadow being mostly melted of snow. The location was consistently covered in warm sunlight, potentially allowing for a quicker melting of snow. The mere trotting became a run as Arlo rushed through the trees, soon bursting from the treeline and into the large expanse of open land. There were shallow patches of snow, but a majority of the grass was revealed. Slowly, Arlo ventured forward, eyes glancing around curiously as he explored the meadow.
[break][break]
Puddles were everywhere, some frozen over, the hellhound's ears pricking as his mouth opened, a tongue lulling out to the side as he panted, slightly tired from the running. Rather than drink from the gatherings of water, Arlo childishly sprinted forward, stopping at the edge where he carefully placed a paw on it. The subtle cracking of ice was enjoyable for the young man as he tested the ice, paying little mind to his surroundings. These types of small activities were things Arlo enjoyed; they were nostalgic from childhoods spent hurrying outside in rubber boots to try and crossed frozen puddles. The tasks were tedious but enjoyable in failure or success.

Inside Arlo’s chest, his heart beated rapidly, overzealous at gaining the opportunity to date his beloved crush, Nicholas. There was a special sweetness and respect the adorable white-haired man provided the hellhound, causing the young man to adore his company. Everything about Nicholas resulted in Arlo feeling as though he was walking on air. A broad grin remained plastered on the criminal's face while he snuggles his newly acquired boyfriend. While he remained beside his boyfriend on the ride, Arlo wondered if Nicholas would be the one to truly astonish him.
[break][break]
A majority of boys eventually fell short, displaying their lack of charm through attempts to enact the naughtier factors of a relationship a mere week in. There was a minor slip with Nicholas, but the white-haired man proved to be an improvement by refusing to act on those attentions. Now Arlo needed to acquire more information about his boyfriend to judge his potential as a lover. The hellhound prayed the handsome hunter would be successful considering his muscular frame and absolute beauty already made him excellent eye-candy.
[break][break]
The sharper angles of his face accompanied by the strong muscles hidden beneath his shirt already caused Arlo to stare; he felt he could for hours. As their time on the ride increased, a snuggling session began. A gleeful giggle escaping the hellhounds mouth when Nicholas stated he was the best.
[break][break]
"That title belongs to you silly," Arlo teased, softly poking Nicholas' nose.
[break][break]
The criminal paused, the smile on his face stretching wider across his lips. This could be the perfect opportunity to bombard Nicholas with a barrage of questions to gain information about his beloved boyfriend. Despite the limited amount of knowledge Arlo possessed about the man currently, he certainly wanted to give him a chance. Alas, there was an action the hellhound was determined to accomplish first. Hastily, he fished his cellphone from his pocket and snuggled against Nicholas. With a few smooth clicks, the phone's camera was switched to front-facing.
[break][break]
"Say cheese!" He exclaimed jovially.
[break][break]
The photo was snapped, an audible click softly leaving the phone's speaker to notify Arlo. Before the hellhound could proceed with his questions, the ride lurched forward, everything becoming operational. The urge to pout was resisted, the criminal proceeding to wear a broad grin; there was plenty of time to inquire about his boyfriend. When the notion of exploring the carnival was mentioned, Arlo answered with a few enthusiastic nods.
[break][break]
"Niiiiic, I want to ask you some questions then! I want to know more about my boyfriend," Arlo proclaimed, although, it was more of a warning. "Hmm... I know! What are you hobbies?"
[break][break]
The ride was slowly turning as occupants were escorted off the contraption, a few appearing frightened by the machine's sudden stop. Patiently, Arlo waited for their turn, his gaze locked on Nicholas while excitement flowed through his veins; he would learn EVERYTHING about this handsome man.

There was a wide smirk across Arlo’s lips as he proceeded to lean against Nicholas. He enjoyed every second of their time together, especially considering they were trapped in the vessel of a Ferris wheel which had a gorgeous view of Lorsette. The hellhound inched closer to his crush, promptly snuggling his shoulder as he giggled jovially. He continued to stare at this beautiful man, admiring his features. Everything about Nicholas was absolute perfection, and Arlo adored the man’s divine beauty. The smirk broadened as the criminal proceeded to snuggle and managed to hear the fast-paced beating of his heart. There was nothing better than hearing his crush’s heart beating rapidly.
[break][break]
He adored Nicholas’ company, the man was even a good candidate for a potential boyfriend with how kind he was. The scene was gorgeous with the expanse of sea in the distance alongside the tall buildings of the city. The cliffside with Lorsette’s lighthouse was given a new view, which left Arlo grinning the entire time. This was absolute perfection which left Arlo overzealous about his position.
[break][break]
After a brief survey of the scenery, the hellhound’s eyes returned to Nicholas, a brow lifting at the mention of a question. A quiet ‘hmm’ escaped Arlo’s lips as he turned to focus his attention entirely on Nicholas.
[break][break]
“Of course you can ask me a question,” the criminal responded.
[break][break]
There were a series of extensive breaths from his crush as he appeared to mentally prepare himself to ask his question. A broad grin stretched across Arlo’s lips as he pondered if he earned Nicholas’ affection enough for him to ask that special little question. The handsome hunter obviously enjoyed his company; evident from the minor problem they had when they shared a bed together.
[break][break]
The hellhound presses closer, snuggling his head into Nicholas' chest in hopes of hearing the inquiry he desired. Those five special words soon left those beautiful lips. Immediately, Arlo’s heart rate elevated as a large smile stretched across his face.
[break][break]
“YES! OF COURSE, I WILL!” Arlo exclaimed, snuggling Nicholas more.
[break][break]
There was complete happiness over the notion of having Nicholas as his boyfriend. While Arlo still desired to get more acquainted with the white-haired man, he was daring enough to accomplish the objective from a relationship standing; he did not want anybody else staling Nicholas after all.

Witnessing red consume Nicholas' cheeks was endearing, Arlo's grinning broadly as a soft giggle escaped his throat. There was effort put behind his flirting attempts to assure a blush from his beloved. Being allowed to watch the white-haired man's face be consumed by red left an indescribable feeling to consume the hellhound. Happiness would run through his veins while his heart rapidly beat in glee to observe this wonder.
[break][break]
Endless joy monopolized Arlo's emotions, the criminal grinning widely at his wonderful date. There were few boys capable of generating these incredible feelings, thus Nicholas immediately became special. He allowed the gifted man to pay, the hellhound feeling flattered to have enough significance for somebody to pay for their date. As an additional reward, Arlo provided a series of snuggles to Nicholas' arm.
[break][break]
There was no former response to where they were going, Arlo observing their surroundings to guess where they were going. A wide grin touched the hellhound's face as he realized where they were slowly walking towards. The Ferris wheel stood as the crown of the carnival, standing tall compared to the other rides. As they grew closer, the grin on the criminal's face widened at the notion of getting stuck beside his marvellous Nicholas; certainly, there would be a way, right?
[break][break]
When they approached, Arlo managed to notice a small water bottle placed close to the base of the controls. A mischievous grin touched his face while Nicholas escorted him into the seat beside him, the hellhound innocently leaning his head against his crush's shoulder. After a few moments, they were hoisted into the air by the gears in a slow rotation as people were escorted off and onto the seats.
[break][break]
Eventually, they reached the pinnacle of the ride where Arlo stared around in wonder at their surroundings. In the distance, Lorsette bustled with activity as people arrived at the carnival or proceeded with their regular business. As the hellhound stared over the city in daylight, he wondered how the night lights would have affected the location. Brightly lit rooms which contrast against the dark colours of evening sounded like an interesting visual.
[break][break]
A grin touched the hellhound's face at Nicholas' compliment, Arlo allowing the red to consume his face as he bashfully glanced away, which allowed him to peer over and search for the water bottle. The criminal's red eyes gazed over the edge at the ground below, their current height becoming a thrill to Arlo. During his glance below, he noticed the precariously placed water bottle which drew his lips into a smirk. The ride's attendant, a lanky adult, was fixated on the line of customers, likely hoping to keep them entertained.
[break][break]
Fixation was placed on the water bottle, Arlo focusing on creating a tiny flame below which held an intense heat. Gradually, the plastic melted away, water drizzling down over the primary controls and managing to crawl into the circuits. The mighty Ferris wheel lurched, smoke escaping from the creases in the control panel. A facade of surprise consumed Arlo's expression as he leaned against Nicholas and pretended to be worried.
[break][break]
"I... I think they are having technical difficulties," Arlo stated, pointing towards the control panel. A few moments later, Arlo's face shifted to a flirtatious smirk. "Oh well, just means more time observing the beautiful scenery."
[break][break]
After the flirtatious remark, the criminal stared directly at Nicholas, a broad grin across his lips. Compared to the view of the city and distant waves where sunlight danced, the handsome hunter was a massive improvement. Slowly, the hellhound settled his head onto Nicholas' chest, his large, red eyes staring up at the beautiful man. Currently, their date was running exactly how Arlo was planning the occasion.

The returned flattery over being the best resulted in Arlo giggling further, although, the hellhound allowed Nicholas to be victorious for the time being. While the criminal decided not to continue the verbal competition of compliments, he inched closer to Nicholas throughout their ride to shower him in snuggles. There were measured taken to snuggle his crush intensely, the dark-haired man attempting to make Nicholas feel special.
[break][break]
Snuggling Nicholas was a privilege Arlo cherished every second of, especially since his crush was the coziest out of all his dates. As they stood on the corner, the hellhound stared up at the carnival over the horizon with evident excitement in his expression. While the short man stared, he gleefully bounced on his feet with a broad grin stretching across his lips. The flirtatious remark which left the white-haired man's lips caused Arlo's gaze to flit back towards him.
[break][break]
The broad grin shifted into a flirtatious smirk as Arlo inched closer to his crush. Hastily, he reached out to cling onto the handsome hunter's arm in hopes of feeling the divine muscular frame beneath.
[break][break]
"Being with you makes this place Heaven," he quietly flirted back." "I think I just met a divine angel."
[break][break]
A wink proceeded Arlo's flirtatious comments, the hellhound implying Nicholas to be the angel he met. When they continued to move towards the carnival, the criminal continued to cling tightly to his crush's arms, snuggling whenever possible to show affection. Being clingy and affectionate allowed anybody in the surrounding area to know Nicholas was HIS; nobody else could steal him.
[break][break]
There was a faint smile on Arlo's face when Nicholas decided to pay for their admission, the hellhound following him closely through the threshold. Afterwards, his crush proceeded to give him the first choice on what they would play at the carnival. Immediately, the smile grew wider as he gazed up towards the white-haired man. There were some dates who took complete control and constantly left him the tab because of his wealthy family background.
[break][break]
"I can pick?" Arlo murmured, snuggling Nicholas' arm. "You're so sweet. You paid, why don't you pick first at least?"
[break][break]
While they walked through the carnival, the hellhound remained close to his date. After flirting circles around the white-haired man, Arlo desired to spend these moments enjoying their date, although, he doubted it would be difficult. As it currently stood, Nicholas was proving to be excellent dating material, but only time would tell.

A broad grin permanently stretched across Arlo's face as he bounced on his feet, staring excitedly at Nicholas. Together, they would attend a date and already the hellhound believed it would be something out of a fairy tale. The white-haired hunter was his divine prince, extremely handsome with a charming personality. Sweet, good-natured and benevolent, albeit, a little moralistic from the boys Arlo dated in the past. Ultimately, it was a welcomed change, the criminal enjoying every second of Nicholas' innocence.
[break][break]
There was a real innocence to their relationship which Arlo absolutely adored. Despite the occurrences of the previous night, he believed the handsome hunter genuinely enjoyed his company. There were plenty who would have brought doubt into the criminal's heart, but something convinced Arlo otherwise. They had known one another for a brief amount of time, yet, there was a magical connection between them. This mysterious connection was strange but brought an enchanting sensation over the criminal which could not be described.
[break][break]
The mentioning of gathering more Arlo pictures, the hellhound blushed slightly, grinning at Nicholas. There was a desire to snap thousands of photos for himself and his wonderful crush. A jovial giggle escaped Arlo's throat as he smiled broadly at the handsome man. When the white-haired man confirmed they could leave, the hellhound began snuggling him more before slipping Nicholas' cellphone into his jean pocket.
[break][break]
"YOU'RE THE BEST!" He exclaimed gleefully while he giggled.
[break][break]
Eventually, the pair were forced to pull away, but Arlo followed closely behind Nicholas to maintain close proximity. He followed as the attractive hunter fetched his keys and wallet, the criminal overzealous when he felt his crush's hand envelop his. There was warmth when their hands met, the short man squeezing the hunter's tightly before following him towards the door to attend their date. As they walked downstairs, he remained close to the taller man and admired the beautifully muscular body in full animation; Nicholas was stunning.
[break][break]
There was an attractive essence to the nature of his movements, a mixture of divine grace and strength to each stride; witnessing those muscles move made Arlo swoon. When he had noticed Nicholas during the dance, the hellhound knew he nailed the attractive appearance. The current mental evaluation the criminal obtained provided a stunning attitude, but more research needed to be acquired. While Nicholas was beyond sweet and benevolent, the criminal wanted to learn more about this incredible man and he hoped this date would provide the opportunity.
[break][break]
After exiting the apartment block, a cab was hailed, Arlo following Nicholas inside. Gradually, the miscreant inched close to the attractive man, promptly leaning his head against the white-haired man's shoulder. A blissful smile touched his lips, a soft sigh of delight drifting out of his lips. While they drove through the city, the hellhound's eyes flitted around, occasionally watching the outside world past before returning to linger on Nicholas' adorable face. After a few minutes, the cab pulled over where they exited the vehicle, Arlo maintaining a tight grip on his crush's hand.
[break][break]
As they walked, Arlo's eyes flitted around wildly, searching for their date location; evident by the curiosity that twinkled in them. Based on the buildings and street names, the hellhound already knew they were in the coastal area of Lorsette, which resulted in his brow lifting. There was an event occurring in the coastal area, the criminal grinning broadly as he prayed his guess would be correct. A corner was rounded, the hellhound gazing past Nicholas at the numerous rides and brightly coloured tents with glee.
[break][break]
"The carnival!" Arlo exclaimed happily. "I love it, Nic! This will be so fun!"
[break][break]
Excitement roamed through the playful hellhound's veins as he bobbed up and down with excitement over the festivities. Gleefully, Arlo followed Nicholas towards the carnival, his mind already creating a plethora of fantasies for what could occur this wonderful afternoon. The grin stretched wider as a thought crossed the hellhound's mind, a concept to prolong their date. Once the fun was completed, perhaps the criminal could invite Nicholas to lunch to treat the attractive hunter, but it all depended on how the date progressed.

Jovially, Arlo returned the snuggles to Nicholas, gleefully sharing in the providing of affection between them. There was a special type of warmth when the hellhound snuggled his crush, every second of it feeling addicting. The heat generated from snuggling provided a calming sensation for the criminal, as though somebody was whispering soft, loving words into his hear and insisting everything was alright.
[break][break]
Tranquillity transcended over Arlo the longer he snuggled Nicholas, the hellhound feeling rather calm despite his accelerated heartbeat. He felt a sense of safety and security when his crush embraced him, holding him dearly and providing him with affection. While they proceeded to snuggle one another, the criminal adjusted the phone, allowing for the white-haired man to catch a glimpse of their spectacular photo together.
[break][break]
A grin stretched across Arlo's face at the mention of more photos, the hellhound glancing up at Nicholas. He wanted an entire album filled to the brim with Nicholas' handsome face! There was a particular desire for pictures of the hunter smiling since that brought happiness to Arlo's life.
[break][break]
"YES! I need to fill my album with Nic pictures!" Arlo exclaimed his answer joyfully, promptly snuggling Nicholas afterwards.
[break][break]
The mentioning of heading to the date resulted in the criminal gleefully bouncing in Nicholas' grip in excitement. An afternoon spent enjoying whatever his crush had planned sounded marvellous! Merely bringing the date up resulted in Arlo getting impatient about waiting for the festivities to begin.
[break][break]
"Can we go now?! I am soooooo excited! Please, Nic, please!" The hellhound exclaimed, pleading to leave the apartment for their afternoon of enjoyment.
[break][break]
The task of sorting out Nicholas' phone remained, but Arlo's excitement increased immensely over finally discovering what his crush had planned. He could always use his own phone to capture pictures, then later send them to his crush over messages. While the criminal waited for Nicholas' answer, he continued to snuggle him, broadly grinning the entire time.

A sensation similar to miniature fireworks played across Arlo's lips whenever Nicholas' would be pressed up against his. The warmth and comfort of having his crush close resulted in the hellhound's heart beating rapidly. Passion consumed the criminal, the deepness captured in the kiss making his heart run wild. Every second was beyond incredible, Arlo's heart racing faster as he melted against Nicholas. As though it was nature, the ravenette kissed back, jovially allowing the handsome hunter to shower him in kisses. The caressing of his cheek heralded the arrival of deeper kisses, resulting in a slight blush colouring the hellhound’s cheeks.
[break][break]
There were snuggles throughout the experience, allowing the hellhound to feel the comfort of his crush’s body heat. A blush painted Arlo’s cheeks the longer they continued their kissing session. The subtle sound of the camera snap was easily detected by the miscreant’s sensitive ears, but instead of pulling away, the deep kissing proceeded. While they kissed, the hellhound inched closer, attempting to get as close to Nicholas as possible.
[break][break]
After a few moments, the pair slowly pulled away, Arlo’s red eyes dazed by the beauty of the hunter. Inside his chest, his heart was beating rapidly from the joy of receiving numerous deep kisses with Nicholas; this man was incredible. The moment the corner of the white-haired man’s lips turned up into a smile, Arlo’s heart began racing faster as he sheepishly returned the grin. Witnessing his crush smile possessed a special meaning, the criminal enjoying every second he could view it. The hellhound listened to the inquiry, a flirtatious smirk crossing his face.
[break][break]
“Incredible like always,” he flirted.
[break][break]
The smirk remained on Arlo’s face as he promptly inched closer to provide Nicholas with a series of snuggles. While he gleefully snuggled his crush, the hellhound clicked on the phone, bringing up the picture of himself and Nicholas kissing. There was a flavour of passion in the image, which already caused Arlo’s heart to soar to new heights. Moments were spent staring at the photo, the criminal enjoying every second of seeing his and Nicholas’ lips pressed together.

There was a broad grin on Arlo’s face as he watched Nicholas blush. The red that encompassed his crush’s cheeks resulted in a series of giggles escaping the hellhound. He adored watching witnessing the white-haired man blush, the criminal wishing he recorded the instant that Nicholas blushed. There were days Arlo wished he could have a compilation of Nicholas blushing and being flustered. Already, the criminal daydreamed about the possibility of obtaining the prestigious video and being able to play it on repeat; being able to watch a flustered Nicholas for hours sounded spectacular.
[break][break]
He stared up at the white-haired hunter, waiting for him to pay the fee for his assistance and the phone's return. When the gifted man began inching closer, Arlo bounced on his feet, excitedly waiting for the moment those soft lips would press up against his own. A hand reached out, caressing his cheek and causing the hellhound to melt from the bliss. The warmth of Nicholas' hand on his cheek was magnificent, the criminal absorbing every second of it. While his crush caressed his cheek, Arlo stared up towards him with wide, red eyes and a smile on his face.

Gradually, Nicholas began leaning closer, their lips brushing against one another until finally, he felt the sensation of a kiss. Once his crush's lips touched his, Arlo melted while his heartbeat increased immensely, enjoying every second of the kiss. When the handsome hunter pulled away, the hellhound pouted until he heard the teasing whisper. Immediately, Nicholas' lips returned to his, kissing him deeper than the time before. The criminal kissed back, his heart rate spiking at the second kiss his crush provided. This moment felt like heaven, time slowing while his heartbeat accelerated while the warmth of Nicholas' lips stayed pressed against his.
[break][break]
After a few minutes, they pulled away, Arlo staring towards his crush with blush soon consuming his own face. Being called adorable made a gleeful laugh escape his throat as he inched closer to attempt to snuggle Nicholas a bit. The wonder provided by his crush caused Arlo's heart to race as the divine man pressed his lips against his own for a third time under the excuse of pondering what a kissing selfie would look like.
[break][break]
The feeling was blissful, Arlo immediately kissing back once the opportunity was provided. There was a soft touch to his hand, as Nicholas caressed him to encourage the notion of snapping a picture. Automatically, the hellhound turned on the phone and side scrolled, opening the camera without entering a passcode. The criminal closed his eyes, kissing Nicholas deeply while he lifted the phone and clicked the center button. There was the sound a snap which captured a picture of their lips locked together and Arlo's cheeks were painted a bright red.

The phone was snatched from his cat-eared hoodie, Arlo hastily kicking the sweater under the bed once he managed to grab Nicholas' phone. There was a wide grin on the hellhound's face as he stared down at the device, quite pleased with the plan he was about to orchestrate. An opportunity to kiss Nicholas' pleasant and soft lips sounded spectacular, the criminal's heart already racing at the mere thought. It thumped against his sternum, threatening to escape his ribcage due to the ever-increasing excitement flowing through his veins. He adored possessing the opportunity to receive a kiss from his prince, Nicholas, the man who stole his heart on Valentine's Day.
[break][break]
Currently, he was doing a marvellous job earning Arlo's affection, the hellhound becoming a slave to his immense feelings towards the hunter. Clutching the phone tightly, the criminal scurried out the bedroom, shutting the door behind him before hurrying towards the kitchen with the cellphone in his hands. The blushes that occurred during the preparation of breakfast only motivated Arlo with his plan.
[break][break]
He loved witnessing the red consume Nicholas' face as he became flustered at his flirtatious remarks; it felt rewarding. Once Arlo returned to the kitchen, he stared at his crush with wide, red eyes. The compliment made a faint red touch the hellhound's cheeks as he giggled gleefully at the remark. Positive remarks from Nicholas felt incredible and brought the ravenette more joy than when his previous dates would utter them. Compliments felt more genuine and significant when the white-haired hunter would provide them, even going lengths to make Arlo's heart skip a beat in joy.
[break][break]
At the mentioning of helping, a smirk touched the hellhounds face as he held the phone closer. There was a chance he could manage to get multiple kisses from Nicholas if he played his cards correctly. The criminal officially had a plan, his thoughts hastily going over to it as he prepared to flirt with his crush again.
[break][break]
"I can, buuuuut, I have a fee," he began teasingly. Slowly, he took a few steps closer to his crush. "You must give me a kiss to get me to help you! It is two fees, so two kisses! One for giving the phone back and one for helping!"
[break][break]
A jovial giggle escaped Arlo's mouth as he stared towards Nicholas, waiting for his crush's response to the sudden fees for handing the phone back and assisting with the pictures. There was nothing better than kisses from the handsome hunter, the hellhound already fantasizing about the wonderful sensation of being kissed by his crush.

Notions such as cooking were beyond foreign to Arlo, the hellhound only ever touching the fancy silverware placed on either side of a plate. There were always extravagant dishes settled into the polished surface, the food styled similar to what regular citizens would merely see in commercials. Each home meal was featured in similar resemblance, the vibes of a fancy restaurant being evident in the manner. While snacks could be fetched from the pantry at any given opportunity, meals were always a peculiar type of special. Compared to what the wealthy boy witnessed commoners consume on regular basis, he could clearly notice the extreme difference in food display.
[break][break]
Nobody could truly replicate the dedicated efforts of the Norwood manor cooking team, although, Arlo merely fixated on the taste. After years of watching them from a distance, cooking their cuisines, the criminal's curiosity has peaked. His red eyes were wide as he stared up at Nicholas' face with a toothy grin. The short man's arms remained tight around his crush as he prayed to receive the answer he desired to hear; that the white-haired man would teach him to cook.
[break][break]
While Arlo could hardly complain about Nicholas being willing to cook for him, he desired closeness from cooking together alongside the sharing of wisdom over a topic of interest. The agreement made the smile on the hellhound's face broaden, his hug tightening as he gleefully giggled.
[break][break]
"BEST MAN EVER!" Arlo declared as he snuggled Nicholas' chest.
[break][break]
When his crush melted into the embrace, another series of giggles escaped the ravenette's mouth. The few minutes he possessed to hug Nicholas were splendid, Arlo's heart beating faster than usual as he provided his crush with affectionate snuggles. He loved having the hunter close, especially since he was the wonderful man who stole his heart on a Valentine's Day evening. There was a slight pout when the white-haired man was forced to pull away to initiate cooking their breakfast.
[break][break]
As Nicholas moved to fetch some food from the fridge and a frying pan, Arlo cheerfully followed behind, trying his best not to get in the way. At the mentioning of helping, Arlo nodded enthusiastically as he joined Nicholas near the frying pan. Carefully, he watched as Nicholas cracked an egg on the side of the pan, the hellhound watching. A gasp of amazement left Arlo's mouth, his eyes gazing towards his crush in wonder.
[break][break] "CAN I TRY?!" Arlo asked, a smile remaining on his face.
[break][break]
When given the opportunity to attempt to crack an egg, Arlo carefully grabbed the fragile egg. The cold condensation touched his hand, the hellhound staring at the egg for a few moments for tapping the side on the frying pan. Slowly, he opened the cracked egg, the innards sliding onto the frying pan. While the yoke and whites left the shell, a portion managed to get onto Arlo's fingers; the action was done sloppier than Nicholas. Afterwards, he discarded the shells before heading to the sink to gleefully wash his hands.
[break][break]
Once the hand washing was completed, Arlo watched the hunter place the bacon onto a separate frying pan before turning on the burners. A few moments passed, sizzles filling the air while the wonderful aroma of a freshly cooked breakfast filled the kitchen. The hellhound remained beside his crush, watching with amazement while his hunger steadily grew. As Nicholas explained the variety of methods to cook eggs, Arlo smiles joyfully.
[break][break]
"You pick for me!" Arlo happily exclaimed. "I will eat whatever you give me! I bet your cooking is super good!"
[break][break]
The cooking continued, the criminal enjoying the delightful sounds of food cooking on the frying pans. When Nicholas inquired about his excitement, Arlo giggled while a flirtatious smirk touched his face. The white-haired man had provided an exquisite opportunity for the hellhound to possibly make him blush.
[break][break]
"I am excited for any day I can spend with you," Arlo responded.
[break][break]
When breakfast finished cooking, the food was moved to plates as silverware and cups were set onto the table. The wonderful aromas were making Arlo's stomach rumble, the hellhound jovial once the time arrived to consume the food, furthermore, Nicholas was sitting beside him. The ravenette smiled towards the hunter before he began eating the food, grinning with joy from the marvellous tastes of the cooking. Greedily, the criminal consumed his breakfast, finding the morning to be absolutely divine. Once he finished the food, he followed Nicholas to the sink with his own dishes to put them away.
[break][break]
At the mentioning of the cellphone, a mischievous smirk touched Arlo's lips. Instead of answering, he dashed off to fetch it from the bedroom where it had been left; he could maybe as for a kiss in exchange for the phone.

Good mornings were exchanged, Arlo gleefully laying next to Nicholas, snuggling the white-haired man. A series of giggles escaped the hellhound's mouth as he noticed the white-haired man's blush. The delicate hearing of his ears managed to detect the sudden increase of Nicholas' heart rate. A smile stretched across Arlo's lips as he stared up towards the white-haired hunter. Beneath the blanket, his tail continued to wag wildly in joy while his ears remained attentive to his wonderful crush. The compliment the white-haired hunter whispered resulting in a slight blush touching Arlo's cheeks, his heartbeat elevating upon hearing the pleasant words.
[break][break]
When Nicholas leaned close to kiss him, the criminal's blush increased while his heart palpitated in excitement. Their lips met, the hellhound melting against the joy from the bliss that transcended over him. The incredible softness of Nicholas' lips pressed against his was an addicting feeling, the criminal instinctually pressing closer to his beloved crush. The short man kissed back, enjoying the spontaneous exchange of kisses.
[break][break]
Slowly, his crush pulled away, Arlo pouting as he wished he could have kissed Nicholas longer. This divine white-haired man was somebody he desired to date, his attractive body and sweet personality stealing the hellhound's heart. When the hunter stated he was going to shower, Arlo provided a small grin and nodded. After his crush went to shower, the criminal left the bedroom to fetch his backpack from the living room and proceeded to get dressed. A simple white shirt was pulled over his head while his previous bottoms were left in favour of black jeans.
[break][break]
The cat-eared hoodie was "forgotten", the hellhound instead tugging a red flannel shirt, the front left unbuttoned. Once dressed, Arlo exited the room, moving some items around in order to make the hoodie appear "forgotten". When the hellhound entered the kitchen, he glanced around with wide eyes as he curiously looked around. After living years in a wealthy family, basic skills like cooking were oftentimes performed on his behalf, which left Arlo uncertain about cooking.
[break][break]
When his ears detected Nicholas, they swivelled towards the noise as a broad grin touched Arlo's lips. With some focus, the wolfish ears and tail disappeared, the hellhound watching as his crush entered the room. Hastily, he scampered towards the hunter, promptly trying to wrap his arms around him.
[break][break]
"Nic! Can you teach me to cook?! PLEASE!" The hellhound pleaded with a large grin. "I never cook at home! I want to learn!"
[break][break]
The close proximity to Nicholas was incredible, Arlo enjoying the refreshing scent of his freshly cleaned crush. The delightful smells made criminal's grin widen as he closed his eyes, drinking in the wonderful scent while he waited for his answer.

Being snuggled into the warm sanction of his crush's arms was an excellent way to spend his slumber, at least in Arlo's opinion. Throughout the night, the young hellhound remained comfortable nestled against the muscular chest of his recent love interest's arms. Peacefully, the young criminal slept, his dreams featuring expansive fields of tall, green grass as the sun remained the radiant gem in the blue above. Gleefully, he trotted across the meadow in his wolf form, his black fur fluently moving as he happily ran and played. These types of dreams always resulted in Arlo subtly twitching, a small grin on his sleeping face as he enjoyed his dream.
[break][break]
He could jump across large divides in the ground and run across the meadow without tiring, his red eyes noticing the flowers that littered the place. Then there, in the distance was the attractive white-haired man that made his heart leap in joy. The hellhound ran towards him, jumping up to shower Nicholas in love and affection. Gradually, it faded, the hellhound's eyes slowly opening as he drowsily glanced towards his crush.
[break][break]
Warmth engulfed him, Arlo finding himself enjoying the body heat radiating from his recent crush. They had slept beneath the covers together, their bodies pressed together to maintain close proximity throughout the evening. When the criminal's red eyes fixated on Nicholas, noticing his crush was awake, his ears pricked up as his tail suddenly wagged in excitement; the spawning of his ears and tail were another common result of animal dreams. Thus in addition to Arlo's usual human form, a pair of black ears were atop his head and a wolf-like tail had appeared overnight. A cheerful giggle left his mouth as he snuggled into the bare chest of his precious crush, tail still wagging wildly from the excitement of waking beside Nicholas.
[break][break]
"Good morning," he exclaimed cheerfully.
[break][break]
A majority of the time, Arlo was sluggish during the morning, waking beside Nicholas immediately resulted in a rather chipper behaviour. With a jovial grin, the hellhound continued staring up at his crush, before a small smirk settled across his face. Hastily, Arlo leaned in, attempting to give the white-haired hunter a good morning kiss on the cheek; he wanted to get Nicholas' heart racing this morning!

While Nicholas' exited the bedroom to handle his problem in private, Arlo slid out of the comforters. The hellhound's feet landed on the soft carpet as he slowly strolled towards the door. The shirts were piled on the ground nearby after being thrown off the bed with the intentions of him discovering the comfort of snuggling into his crush's muscular chest. He reached down to pluck them up from the cold floor, draping them over his arm as a soft sigh escaped his lips. How could he submit Nicholas to this embarrassment?
[break][break]
The handsome hunter even admitted to never sleeping beside someone until this night, and Arlo had invaded the wonderful's man comfort zone more than necessary, or at least he believed so. With his shoulders hunched over in shame, the criminal slowly returned to the bed, crawling onto the soft sheets and settling the shirts on top. Quietly, he waited for the return of his precious crush, the hellhound's eyes glancing towards the door as Nicholas returned. The man returned to the bed, crawling in beside him.
[break][break]
Before Arlo could gain the opportunity to provide an apology, Nicholas began speaking. A small grin touched the hellhound's lips when Nicholas stated he was still willing to sleep beside him. Shortly, the criminal's expression shifted to surprise as the attractive white-haired man snatched up the shirts and tossed them onto the ground. When Nicholas' arms wrapped around him, the grin broadened as Arlo giggled in delight, the hellhound snuggling in return while he embraced his crush.
[break][break]
"Goodnight, Nic," he mumbled sleepily.
[break][break]
Gradually, Arlo fell asleep in the wondrous comfort of Nicholas' arms, a sleepy grin across his lips. This was a blissful evening, and the hellhound was delighted to be graced with this man's attention.
