wanted it to last forever.
"Idok!"
SHE looked towards the door where he heard his name called from, and seen a familiar brown hybrid standing under the doorframe, his eyes wide with fear.
Panic rushed it's way through Idok. He would never be able to explain the truth behind this one. What was his father going to think of him now? He was going to be banished for sure.
Bulbo sprinted towards the two, his teeth bared and his eyes rimming with anger. He snarled and tackled Meta Knight from Idok and stood over Idok with his fur bristling. Meta Knight caught his ground and just stared at Bulbo, surprised.
Idok opened one eye to see HER father standing over him. But he wasn't snarling at her, he was...protecting her? From...? Idok looked to the side and seen Meta Knight standing there with his father growling at him.
"You disgust me!" Bulbo shouted. "What nerve have you for raping Idok?"
Rape? Is that what Bulbo thought Meta Knight was doing to Idok? Meta Knight looked at Idok desperately, unsure of what to do. But neither of them had to do anything. Bulbo just glared at him, angry at the thought that this brute would rape jfkhgdgfdl.
"You better get out of here, before I rip your throat out." Bulbo threatened. Idok was taken aback. The wolf was really emerging from HER father. SHE had never seen him act like this before. Meta Knight looked at Idok's shaken form. He knew it was best not to get his friend wrapped up in this, so he just ran out of the boiler room alone.
Bulbo sighed. "Are you ok, son? Did he hurt you?"
"No...Dad," Idok sighed as well. At least SHE was off the hook. But what about Meta Knight? SHE stared out the door, wondering if he should chase after him. But then Dustbunny and the others poured into the room.
"What's going on!" Dustbunny asked.
"Yeah, I just seen Meta Knight run right by us!" Spot said, looking around. "Is everything ok?"
"Everything's fine." Bulbo stated, looking back at Idok, looking for reassurance that SHE was ok. Idok just looked at him with the same startled look on HER face and said nothing. Bulbo nodded, still unsure, and exited the boiler room. Idok knew why HER father didn't say anything. He didn't want anyone to know. And Idok was just fine with that. No one had to know anything.
"Hey, Idok, you ok?" asked Dustbunny, approaching him from the side. "You look like you've seen a ghost."
"I'm fine, Dustbunny," Idok said softly, not taking HER eyes off the door. "Fine..." SHE needed to go find Meta Knight and talk to him. SHE needed to set things straight now. SHE couldn't wait to get things done. SHE stood up. "I'll be right back, guys." And SHE dashed through the door in Meta Knight's direction. SHE used HER nose to find him. It wouldn't take HER long because Idok could run on Meta Knight's alluring scent for ages. SHE hoped to find him before morning.
Within about an hour of looking in and out of the alleys of Nome, Idok found who SHE was looking for on the outskirts of the town opposite HER father's boat. Idok could see Meta Knight's silhouette in the full moon that was peeking over the top of the hill he was sitting. Idok swiftly made his way up the hill and came behind Meta Knight. SHE was looking into the mountains, not really paying Idok any mind. He sighed heavily.
"Your Dad's gonna kill me," said Meta Knight. "He thinks I was... He's not going to be happy when he finds out what was really going on."
"I know," Idok said, looking up at the moon. "He doesn't need to find out. I mean...It's nobody's business."
"We can't live a lie, you know that." Meta Knight scoffed. "I can't lie, I'm a terrible liar."
"Heh, I know," Idok chuckled. "But we'll figure something out." Idok leaned in to snuggle with Meta Knight, but he stood up and stepped away.
"Don't," Meta Knight said. "We can't...I...I feel like I'm influencing you."
"So?"
"I don't want to lead you down this path, it's," Meta Knight snorted. "It's just wrong!"
Idok took the word "wrong" in consideration. SHE had made mistakes before, but SHE always atoned for them. Why should this be any different? HER family and friends would accept their decision. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be their friends in the first place! It would just be another lesson to learn and live.
"Wrong?" Idok snuffed. "You always tell me what's right and what's wrong. You're not always right, you know."
"I'm right this time!" Meta Knight growled. "We're going to regret everything we ever do."
"I'm not," Idok stated. "I've never regretted anything. And I'm not about to start." SHE nuzzled Meta Knight under his chin.
"We're gonna get in trouble." Meta Knight said matter of factly, accepting the nuzzle.
"It's ok." Idok said. "We're not going to tell anyone."
"Is that a promise?"
"It's a promise."
The two of them sat on the hill for about another hour until they decided to head back to the boiler room to rest up for the next day's mail run. By the time they entered the door, everyone inside was asleep. Meta Knight slept on the side of the room opposite Idok, but both of them dreamed of the other repeatedly, smiles forming on them both.
Even with their lack of sleep, they were more energetic than ever. The rest of the team couldn't understand their energy. To them it seemed impossible, because they were dead-tired. One Meta Knight and Idok were hooked up, they fought each other playfully, tugging at each other as if they were pups.
Dustbunny yawned and shook its head in irritation to their constant joking and laughter. They payed it no attention and continued in their play.
"Meta Knight! Idok! Straighten up!" Mr. Simpson called from the back. They stopped. The man gave the command to run and they took off quickly. Meta Knight and Idok wanted to get back as soon as possible so that they could have some alone time.
"Meta Knight!" called Spot. "For the last time, stop pulling me! I can't keep up!"
"You're gonna have to, Spotie-boy!" Meta Knight laughed.
For the first time ever, the mail dogs were early to their destination and back to Nome. The dogs stood before the mail carrier, the town before them as Jenana sat with Bulbo, Jenana closely snuggled up to him as Bulbo's eyes blazed. Idok could have sworn that who stood before HER was not HER father...but Badguy. The sled slid to a stop and Idok felt as if it was just SHE and HER parents. As SHE was unhooked from the harness, which felt oddly heavy, SHE took a step forward, the snow crunching beneath HER paws.
"Dad," Idok started.
Bulbo snapped, "He'll be banished, Idok, just like he should be. No dog should have to undergo such a--an atrocity!"
Idok jumped forward, "He didn't do it, Dad!" Jenana's eyes widened and all the dogs stood, flicking their ears forward, the world's eyes on Idok, "I went along willingly."
Bulbo sank back down and his ears layed back at a loss for words. "Meta Knight didn't rape you..."
Idok swallowed, "No, Dad...he didn't."
"Oh Idok..." Jenana whispered. SHE stood up and started towards Idok. Idok lowered HER head a bit. SHE knew that HER father had told her. SHE felt terrible about making her worry about HER. But at the moment, SHE seemed more relieved than anything. Idok glanced at HER father and wished SHE could say the same for him.
Bulbo shook his head and walked away with the most disappointed look displayed on his face. Some dogs watched him leave the scene, but more were looking at Idok. Jenana looked confused, looking back and fourth from her mate to her child. SHE decided to go after Bulbo.
Idok sighed. SHE felt a great sense of relief for stating what really went on...but now SHE felt worried about what would happen to him and Meta Knight. And also would HER own father hate HER for this? SHE felt many eyes digging into HER and it was not helping the situation. SHE viciously whipped HER head back and glared at everyone.
"What are all of you looking at?!" Idok snarled. The mail dogs slowly scattered away from the area, leaving only HER and Meta Knight. Idok didn't look at him.
"Well, it's only a matter of time, now," Meta Knight said sourly.
"What is?" Idok asked, quietly.
"That our lives are gonna be a living hell."
"We'll be fine," Idok said. "All I've gotta do is patch things up with my Dad, then things'll look up again."
"Right..." Meta Knight snorted.
"I'll see you soon." Idok departed in the direction HER father went, which was towards the wrecked boat. Along the way, SHE seen HER mother, walking alone. SHE stopped in mid-trot and approached HER cautiously, with HER head lowered and HER tail in between HER legs. "Mom?"
Startled, Jenana looked up and gasped. "Idok." SHE ran up to HER and nuzzled HER. "I'm so glad you're ok."
Idok was confused. Why was SHE glad to see her? This was very unexpected. "You mean...you're not mad about...me and Meta Knight?"
SHE stepped back to look at her. "Well...right now...I can't say I'm proud...But I'm just happy nothing bad happened to you." SHE nuzzled HER again.
"Is Dad ok?"
Idok felt HER mother shake her head. "I don't know...you might want to wait for him to cool off first."
"I can't wait that long." And Idok sprinted to HER father's boat.
Meta Knight wandered the streets alone, feeling like he belonged no where without Idok. He was too afraid to go to the boiler room...too tired to travel all the way to the beach. He felt that he should have gone with Idok to talk to HER father. They were, after all, in this situation together, and they should make things right together. Meta Knight decided talking to Bulbo was the right thing and started headed towards his boat.
"Hello, Meta."
Meta Knight whipped his head behind him to see the mocking Hank standing there in the alleyway. "What do you want?" Meta Knight asked.
"Shut up, you!" Hank spat, throwing insults at Meta Knight left and right.
Kano appeared in front of Meta Knight. "There's a reason dogs like you keep their mouths shut," Kano bared his teeth. Meta Knight did the same.
Idok made it to HER father's boat. SHE sniffed around trying to find her. HER father was perched on the bow of the boat, staring into nothing.
"Dad?" Idok said, softly.
