Brian finds himself staring out at the backyard, pale moonlight from the waning moon washing the grass in silver. He didn’t think he’d still be thinking about earlier with Kevin but the wolf part of his brain must still be anxious. Approaching footsteps draw his attention away from the yard as Kevin himself walks towards him, stopping short to offer Brian a beer. Kevin’s posture is relaxed and nonthreatening, a sharp contrast for before, as he hands Brian the bottle.

“Thanks man,” Brian says as he takes it.

“No problem. Figured you’d want one,” Kevin replies jovially. There’s a beat of silence filled with crickets and frogs chirping in the night as the men sip their beers.

“So what was that alpha shit earlier?” Brian asks bluntly. Kevin chuckles lightly before shrugging.

“Ah you know, one of us has got to be the alpha sometimes,” Kevin jokes. When Brian doesn't joke along, Kevin sighs but he still has a loose smile on his face. He spares a glance behind them. Dan, Daithi, and Seán are all talking about some anime by the sounds of it, not noticing that Brian and Kevin are chatting. Seemingly satisfied with what he sees or hears, Kevin turns back to Brian. “I’m sorry about earlier. I’ve gotten a little overprotective of Dan it seems,” Kevin apologizes. He takes a long sip of beer.

“What do you mean?” Brian pushes, setting his beer down and leaning closer into Kevin’s space.

“Well, it’s my fault Dan’s a werewolf. I feel responsible for him,” Kevin explains. Brian’s eyes widen.

“You didn’t bite him, did you?” Brian gasps. Kevin shakes his head with a tired laugh.

“Oh, no I didn’t bite him. But I was there when he was bitten. And I stood there like an fecking idiot,” Kevin sighs, his whole body deflating. If he was in his wolf form, Brian bets Kevin’s head and tail would be low. “I blame myself so I get a little aggressive if I think he’s in danger.”

“But he wasn’t. We were just playing,” Brian counters. Kevin nods.

“I know you weren’t hurting him. It’s just, when I saw you laying on him and heard him wheezing I felt I had to step in,” Kevin admits sheepishly. “Silly me, Dan can defend himself and I’m here worrying like he’s a pup.” Brian sighs and wraps an arm around Kevin’s shoulders.

“I’ll be more careful,” Brian says softly.

“I know you will. And I will too,” Kevin replies, leaning into the half-embrace as they stare up at the moon, their beers forgotten.
