Snippet #2741258

Chance stayed paralyzed after Zeb had pushed him away. He took note of Gabriel's protective stance and how he stayed in between Zeb and himself. It was clear by the way the larger therian was talking that there was history there and Chance wasn't sure if he wanted to get in the middle of it, but it seemed that now he may not have much choice in the matter.

Chance fought his own primal urge to transform to his therian form, but much like Gabriel, he knew that would only make things worse. He couldn't deny that he was taken by surprise when Gabriel took him by the arm and dragged him to the cafe and told him to order what he wanted and down right shocked when he said that he wanted to go back to his place.

"Okay, sounds good." It was clear that Gabriel was still furious at Zeb. He gave his order to the barista and they waited in silence for Chance's name to be called. As they walked back to the apartment building Chance couldn't help but make the joke in his mind that this wasn't what he expected when he asked him to go out for coffee. He did his best to keep the smirk off his face, hoping that Gabriel didn't see it. But he was so focused on the incident with Zeb that Chance didn't think he noticed. This was one of Chance's little quirks, his sense of humor was always kicking in at the wrong time.

They got to the building and walked up to Gabriel's apartment. It wasn't too much different than his own, definitely the home of a single person. The two of them sat down and Chance took a sip of his coffee before looking over to Gabriel.

"Thanks for the coffee. Nice place, reminds me of mine." Chance chuckled with a bit of nervousness. "So... what's the deal between you and that other guy? I've never seen anyone take a protective stance like that for me before, not that I'm complaining, but he must have done something fucked up for you to do that for another therian. Oh and while I'm here, could I get your name?" He smiled. For a hyena, Chance had a very nice smile in his human form.
