Mike ended up having to work later then he wanted, but he still had time to pick up some food on his way home. It wasn't fast food this time, but instead a couple sandwiches already made at the local grocery store. He had to pick up some milk and bread and ice cream for Tyler anyway. He arrived at home around 7 PM.

Mike walked through the door, placing the few grocery bags he had on the counter in the kitchen. He started to pull the sandwiches out and put them to the side, needing to put the ice cream and milk away. He put away the bread and then returned to find Tyler and Onity finally joining him in the kitchen. Mike was about to explain the sandwiches when he noticed something was off between the two.

"Uh, is something wrong?" Mike asked, looking at the two.

"No." Tyler frowned.

"Yes." Onity frowned.

Tyler shot a glare towards Onity. "I didn't want to bring him into this."

Mike felt worried. Sure, they have their fights, but they're always dumb and silly and nEVER has one of them said anything like that before. They always seem to drag Mike into things. Onity steals Tyler's glasses? Tyler complains to Mike. Tyler shoves Onity off the bed? Onity walks around the bed to snuggle in with Mike.

"What happened?" Mike asked.

"Go ahead and tell him." Onity bumped Tyler with his hip.

"Don't push me like that right now." Tyler crossed his arms.

"You started this and I trust you to explain why." Onity replied.

Tyler turned to Onity. "Trust me?"

Onity looked confused. "Yeah. Just tell Mike what happened and then we can eat."

Mike could see that both of them were still irritated over whatever happened and neither of them want to admit anything, so even though Onity sounded like he wanted to get over it, he couldn't. Neither of them wanted to admit the truth. Neither of them wanted Mike to be a part of this.

"You two are acting like children. Just tell me what happened!" Mike stepped in. "I know you're both pissed and don't want to talk about it but you need to communicate with me! You need to communicate with each other!"

Tyler was stuck half within his thoughts that he didn't process Mike's words correctly. In fact, it opened up the conversation to something Tyler had been fighting not to bring up for a long time.

"You know what I don't understand!?" Tyler snapped. "You know who doesn't communicate with us? You don't, Onity! You know who doesn't put in the trust that he expects from us? Onity!"

"What?" Onity and Mike looked surprised.

" I can't take this anymore! You never tell us anything about yourself! We'll ask questions and you'll dance around the answer! You're not a human and you've talked about that and it feels like you don't trust us with any information at all! We fucking adopted your ass and we could have turned you in for millions but no we fucking fell in love with you!"

Onity stepped back. Mike felt his stomach ache. This was bad.

"I don't know if you understand or not, but to humans, it's a sign of distrust to hide things from people you love! It's a sign to me that you don't trust me when you decide not to answer the simple questions we give you! Distrust causes people to become distant, and distance murders love! Sometimes I worry that you'll find another guy to adore and you'll leave us and, fuck that scares us!"

Onity was ever so slightly shaking. He was stuck in his thoughts and he didn't really know what to do to fix this. All he wanted to do was fix this.

"You don't trust me?" He asked.

"No, you don't trust me!" Tyler hissed.

Onity took a deep breath but it didn't help him at all. He turned from Tyler to look at Mike.

"He says us. You feel the same way." Onity said, and Mike, despite what he felt before, didn't want to be a part of this anymore. "You both feel like I don't trust you."

"N-no, that's not tru-"

"You both worry that I d-don't l-love you!" Onity exclaimed, stepping back again. He felt so empty.

"Both of you!" Mike's voice got louder and the two turned to him.

He wanted to tell them to calm down and to forgive each other and to not say such terrible things but he also knew that pushing the problem under the rug would only create a worse fight for the future. He'd gotten their attention, but he did not say anything for the fear of making it worse.

Tyler turned away and reached past Mike for one of the sandwiches. He then walked out of the kitchen to the table. Mike had lost his chance to say anything, and Onity, whom wasn't sure what to say or do or think, teleported past Mike, grabbed one of the sandwiches, and teleported somewhere else. Mike was left, having no real want to eat anymore.

He took the last sandwich anyway, walking out of the kitchen and sitting down at the table. Tyler was eating his sandwich and had his phone out, scrolling through apps to get his mind away from what happened. Mike didn't unwrap the sandwich, and instead of trying to talk, he sat and stared into space, his own head overcoming him.

"You gonna eat?"

Mike blinked, looking up at Tyler. He shook his head.

"You really should try though." Tyler muttered.

"I don't think I can." Mike replied.

"It's because of me, isn't it?" Tyler sighed, placing his phone down.

Mike shook his head, but Tyler was right.

Tyler pushed his half eaten sandwich away and placed his head on the table.

"I'm sorry you had to come home to that." He said.

"I still don't understand what happened."

Tyler paused, sitting up. He wasn't as blinded by anger as he was before, and he knew Mike deserved an answer. More so now then ever.

"I didn't have a good day at work and I came home wanting nothing more then to fall asleep and never wake up. Onity just happened to be so distracted that he didn't realize he was getting on my nerves until I lashed out, and then He decided that it would be a better idea to ask questions and understand why I was upset than to apologize and let it pass." Tyler said. "It escalated from there."

"Oh." Mike leaned back in his chair.

"I mean, I did tell him quite a few times I wasn't having it, but I don't know what happened. I get upset." Tyler went on. "And fuck, why the hell did I have to question his feelings like that?"

"I knew that that would eventually come up, but I was hoping it wouldn't be an argument." Mike said.

"Fuck me." Tyler groaned.

Mike stood up to put his sandwich away, deciding he'd probably have to put the other have of Tyler's away before it got left out over night. He was glad that Tyler showed regret in what he said, and that he finally knew what caused this, but he still worried about Onity. Onity left and he really try to go after him. He did teleport away, with the sandwich, so he was hopefully somewhere they could find if they looked.

His thoughts were stopped when he felt himself suddenly in a different setting. He was no longer in the house, but outside, on the roof, with the two sandwiches still in his hand. He turned to see Onity sitting beside him, and then Tyler, who looked just as surprised, sitting on the other side of Onity. Onity's sandwich was gone, and the two could probably guess it was him who had teleported them up there. Mike sat down, placing the sandwiches down to his side, and he looked around to see the sky dark with the faintest of stars showing.

"I..." Onity spoke after a few moments of nothing. "I hadn't realized that I was putting these thoughts in your heads."

Onity continued. "I try to hard to be human, but I can only pull of being a different individual, not a different species. On Yvenity, we valued the ability to be close to each other, to be able to open up, but not as much as humans value it. We could love and trust without, but It was for we had other things to judge a person on. Humans don't. And I feel ashamed for I know this, and yet it never clicked."

"It never clicked that me holding things back formed distrust. For that, I'm sorry." Onity sat with his knees to his chest. "There is nothing I love more than the two of you, and I can't forgive myself for the worry I put you through whenever I think some other human is attractive. I would never....never leave you two."

Neither Mike nor Tyler are good with words, but they both shifted to sit a bit closer with Onity. Onity stretched out his legs and looked up at the stars, wondering about his home planet. He felt Mike's hand lay atop his left hand and the warmth felt nice.

"You both deserve the hear more about me." Onity said.

"You don't have to force yourself to say anything you don't wish to." Mike replied, his voice soft.

"I know, but this is no longer about me." Onity replied.

There was a silence, and so Onity continued to talk.

"I lived on Yvenity until I was twelve. I had a mother and a father and two older siblings and one younger sibling. I played a lot with my siblings and I was spoiled by my mother and though I wasn't social, I had quite a lot of friends. I was smart and curious and I didn't let the fact that our state was on the verge of war ruin my hope in life. I had even decided near the end of my two years of teaching that I wanted to be a scientist."

While Onity talked, telling his story, Tyler tried to imagine what a child of Onity might look like. He tried to imagine him around siblings which Tyler would assume were sort of like him. He tried to imagine him being a scientist. He scooted closer to Onity to bump up against his arm. His arm felt...colder. The skin was a different texture. He looked over at Onity, realizing that as he talked, he was changing. His hands and his arms were growing a dull purple color and his hands were almost claw like, with four fingers and not five. He looked over to see Mike with his hand holding on tightly with Onity's other hand.

"Everything changed one day. It was so sudden. It was one of the last days of teaching, and the man who'd been observing our class asked to see me out in the hallway. He insisted that he wanted to..to interview me I think. For his research for the state. It's mandatory for the teacher to be with her student if they must go away from the classroom, but the man wouldn't allow her to tag along."

Tyler tried to snake his hand in between Onity's. Pausing for a moment in his story, Onity gripped both Mike and Tyler's hands.

"He then killed her. Right in front of me. Imagine being twelve and having your teacher murdered in front of you. He kidnapped me and at some point I was knocked out. I woke up a couple different times, I remember once he talked to me about his plan and then the next couple I woke up either during or in between being tested on. I remember everything hurting."

It came to the point that Mike and Tyler realized they didn't expect Onity's story to be so bad. Sure, they assumed losing your family and home planet was damaging, and was probably why Onity was distant at first, but this was bigger then they thought. Tyler couldn't imagine being kidnapped and witnessing a murder. Mike, whom himself had a terrible childhood, still didn't go through the trauma that is what Unity went through.

"He turned me into a weapon, because he wanted me to win the war for the state. I have powers that are so much stronger then they should be, and it's all because of him. I used those powers to run and escape, but I was cornered in front of a portal. It was a giant portal. It was loud and it scared me, but not as much as that man did. My mom had appeared to try to rescue me but by then I tripped and I fell into that portal."

"And then I woke up in a mansion on a planet I knew nothing about, without my mom. Without anyone."

Tyler looked over at Onity, who'd no longer sat in his human disguise. For the first time, he'd allowed himself to sit in his form in front of them. He was taller and his skin was a dull purple. His feet had claw like toes and his hair was very wavy, almost curly, and a creamy white. His mouth was similar to that of a pumpkin's and his nose was small. His eyes both glowed in the night, the "whites" being black and his pupils being neon purple. His clothes were worn, consisting of a cloak and a dark purple-ish uniform.

As Onity let himself lay back on the rough roof, Tyler lay down too and placed his head on Onity's chest. Mike smiled to himself, glad that they had forgiven each other. He was glad that a problem that had bothered them so long was no longer an issue. He yawned, laying back as well, his hand still intertwined with Onity's.

"It's hard to imagine you in those situations." Tyler muttered. "I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"It's fine." Onity replied. "Please don't ever think that I don't trust or love you. Either of you."

The night sky shined over them as they laid together on the roof. Onity felt Mike curl into him, his head on his shoulder and his arms now wrapping around both Onity and Tyler. Onity could feel them both breathing, the steady rise and fall of their chests, and he closed his eyes.

"Yes I know i'm a wolf, and I've been known to bite, but the rest of my pack, I have left them behind." He sung softly under his breath.

The song was one that meant a lot to Onity, and now Mike and Tyler understood why.

"And my teeth may be sharp, and I've been raised to kill, but the thought of fresh meat, it is making me ill."

Tyler pulled away from their arms to lean up a little, looking down at Onity's face, watching him as he continued to say the lyrics. He leaned down, placing one hand on Onity's cheek.

"So I'm telling you that you'll be safe with me."

Tyler placed a kiss on Onity's lips, the kiss different from any other as the lips he'd met were not like the ones Onity normally had. His lips were flatter, harder, sharper, but it didn't matter to Tyler. He pulled away to yawn.

"Your story makes me tired." He said. Onity laughed.

The two turned to see Mike yawn again. Tyler smirked, knowing how yawns are contagious. He sat up , just now noticing the fact that the sandwiches were still there. He leaned over and grabbed his, opening it up from the folded packaging and taking a big bite.

"Can we stay up here?" He asked, talking with his mouth full.

"How are we going to get down in the morning for work?" Mike asked, though he had to agree he didn't want to get down yet.

"Dammit, I didn't think about having to get up for work." Tyler frowned.

"Ugh, do you guys have to go to work all the time?" Onity complained.

"Feels like it." Tyler replied.

Onity sat up and, with hesitation, held out his hands, a purple flame appearing over them, and then they teleported back inside. They were on their bed. Tyler sighed, crawling over to the pillow on the side.

"Hey, my sandwich is still on the roof." Mike said, doing the same.

"Let the birds have it, you can have mine." Tyler said, holding out the last half of his sandwich. Mike shrugged and took it.

The two looked back to Onity, who now sat comfortably under the covers, back in his human disguise.

"You know, I also don't see you being a scientist." Tyler said.

"I can be smart if that's what your saying." Onity placed his hands behind his head.

"Well, sure, I guess." Tyler said. "What the hell do you want to be now that you can't be a scientist?"

"I want to be here. What do you want to be?"

"Well I can't really one up that." Tyler replied. "Only goals i've set in place for myself is go through the hell that is college for a job I'm not guaranteed."

"Nothing is ever guaranteed." Onity said, and then looked over at Mike. "What do you want to be?"

"Financially stable." Mike replied, chewing through his food.

"I assumed we were." Onity said.

"Didn't you once say you wanted to be a dad?" Tyler asked.

"Yes, but it's not like that's really a possibility." Mike said, swallowing what he had in his mouth and reaching over to put the last of the sandwich on the night stand.

"It depends on where your priorities and reasons lie." Tyler replied.

The two turned to get under the covers, looking back over at Onity, who looked to be in deep thought.

"What the hell else do we not know about you?" Tyler asked, glaring at Onity.

"hA wELl." Onity's voice cracked. "Children aren't enTIRely out of the question."

Tyler coughed. "YOU can have kids!?"

"Isn't that something that normally comes up in a conversation before the first time you hav-" Mike began, just as caught off guard as Tyler.

"Not in this form though! Hehe." Onity pulled the blanket over half his face.

"Oh my god, I'm so fucking tired." Tyler rolled over, shoving his head into the pillow. "Good night!"
