Basement, Derek & Mike's Totally Normalish House, Late Tuesday Afternoon

[bitten_notshy]

It was the last night of the full moon, which meant Jackson and Derek were free of werewolf issues for another month.

Jack, however, was not. He morosely chewed on a sandwich as he waited for the moon to rise. He'd come to love having a pack (even though some days he wouldn't admit it), but there was definitely a downside to being a different breed from the others.

[OOC: Open to whoever might be in the house!]

"Laura was a lot like her." Or she'd had to act like her to make it through the time after the fire.

And admitting he missed her was like ripping himself open again.

And now Laura was gone, and -- Jack was perversely glad his family had bowed out before he was old enough to miss them.

He made a little noise that was meant as sympathetic.

"I could try not to complain so much about the shifting," he said, then, to be a brat, continued: "Especially if it means I outrank you."

"I can still kick your ass," Derek replied, a tiny fraction of the tightness in his face easing.

"One of these days I'm going to ask you to prove it," Jack said, glancing out the window to see the darkening sky. "Not much of a fair fight tonight, though."

"When you get it under control, we'll see." There. Something to look forward to, Jack.

Jack almost smiled at that. "You think that's going to happen?"

He hoped so.

"I think so." Then again... Derek.
