Rebellion

[inked_prophet]

 *Shrill sounds of an alarm pierced the quiet and still dark room, drawing a groan from under the covers that a figure was so contently wrapped under. The ragged and lumpy blankets moved and protested heavily, sagging in defeat when an arm reached out and silenced the alarm. Sitting up, the half toned haired male yawned and stretched, pouting at the time.*

*He hated waking up this early for his shitty job in this crummy city barely making enough to live without having to look for an owner. That was one thing he was never going to do. His ears twitched and he shook his head as he got up from the bed and set to getting ready for work. It was some factory job that employed his kind, with hardly any pay though.*

*Grumbling softly, he pulled his clothes on and shoes on at the door before heading out, ruffling his hair and stroking the fur down on his tail before heading out. He found it hard to find work anywhere else, what with his full breed status and having come from a village of free hybrids of wild animals. People feared they could go feral at any minute, but it was untrue. His kind was treated harsher because of this and had stricter laws in place. He tugged at the collar around his neck, red tag to shoe his status and danger if he went feral.*

*When he got to work, he clocked in and pulled on the protective gear for work and started his shift. It was a recycling plant and he worked in the sorting area, sorting out the different types of containers and getting the mess all over him. He had dreams and aspirations, but he never thought he would end up like this, stuck in this life and unable to go back home. His village was assimilated into the city and left abandoned. At least he had friends at work that weren't afraid of him.*

Hey, Hanbin, we still going for drinks?

'Sure, just don't scare off any good looking guys this time.'

*Laughing at his friends words, he shook his head and smiled. The poor bird hybrid got scared after seeing his collar. He should have expected it, Petroica rodinogaster was usually a flighty type of hybrid.*

I promise I won't scare anyone off, but you know bird types are flighty and scare easily.

[Sorry for dropping off like I did I had to work a lot of double shifts at work lately and I've been sick.]

*Bae was relieved a soft smile stretching his lips as he let Jiwon groom him. He rested a hand on Jiwon's stomach gently rubbing it as he held his mate in his arms. He looked down placing a soft kiss on jiwon's forehead.*

It's almost as beautiful as you my love.

*knowing his mate needed sleep Bae carefully stood up his arms around his mate holding him steady. He carried Jiwon over to the bedding laying his mate down before laying down beside him once his mate was comfortable.*

Let's watch the stars before we sleep.

*he whispered to his mate before nodding at Dongwook, Bae himself would be taking first watch tonight but he always held his mate until he went to sleep. As he looked at the stars he let his mind wonder to the wolf that was guiding them. He was planning on trying to get answers tonight if possible.*

And now life sucks major ass, Jonghyun from Shines commuted suicide and I'm super upset by it.

[Its cool, dood. Things have been super hectic at work for me too, and noona has family over staying with us. I've been responding when I can and all lol, but I'm making it work out. I had been departing on claiming edawn from Pentagon, but I might not, everyone seems a bit stretched right now, I might later when things aren't as crazy. Hope you're feeling better, tho. Did you get the flu or just a cold?]

*Jiwon flushed at the compliment and snuggled up to Bae. He wasn't often complimented like this, but it felt nice. He himself thought that he was ugly, but Bae was starting to push that thought slowly from his mind.*

*Hanbin laid next to them, pointing out some of the stars that were planets before Jiwon pointed out the different constellations. It didn't take much for Jiwon to drift off to a peaceful slumber, his dreams filled with nice things.*

*As the night went on, the white wolf hybrid did visit them again in their dreams. He told Bae of a path that would lead them a safer rout that their mother often used when traveling. This time, he lingered in the elders dreams, willing to answer the questions he had and wanting to reconnect with his lost brother. He missed their kin, having lost some when their mother and father were killed, while others had went off and formed their own packs further north where it was safe.*

[claroquesi]

[i'm thinking its a really bad cold although at the beginning it could have been a touch of flu but idk I don't go to the dr unless I can't eat or drink anything lol.]

*Bae snuck out of bed as soon as Jiwon was alseep to take his watch. As Dongwook settled down in bed Bae sat near them his eyes closed as he mediated trying to connect to his spiritual side.

It wasn't long until the familiar safe feeling filled his thoughts. His eyes still closed he pulled a paper out of his pocket and wrote down the directions given to him. He opened an eye looking at what he wrote to make sure it was right before closing it again focusing on the white wolf.*

Who are you and why are you helping us reach safety? I don't mean to be rude I do appreciate the directions and warnings you've given me. I just don't know you even though you feel familiar to me.

[inked_prophet]

*The white wolf gave an airy laugh as he wandered through Bae's dreams, having showed himself to the other many times before. With a bright smile, he hummed softly.*

I don't know if I should be mad or relieved right now. I'm offended that you don't recognize your own brother, though.

*He said with a grin in his voice. Jonghyun wasn't mad that Bae didn't recognize him, but he was relieved that his elder brother was listening to his directions.*

You would always hold my hand when we would travel so I wouldn't be left behind, you would never make fun of me or think less of me because blindness. You always coddled me until Umma sensed danger and carried me around. She said it wasn't safe for me to be behind like that.

*He explained before he started to hum again softly. It was a tune their mother would sing to them, one he memorized and would hum to himself when he was anxious or upset.*

She was so sad and upset when she saved you... they almost caught one of our siblings before she gave them you and said you were orphaned. She was saving you from a fate of the mistreated hybrids and also keeping us safe. She really wanted to see you again...

[claroquesi]

Brother... I am sorry we were both so young when Umma gave me up. I knew you were familiar your name was just buried deep in my memories forgive me Jonghyun.

*Bae felt a tear fall down his cheek as he recognized the tune the white wolf was humming. He missed his family horribly but he was happy to be wrong about them all being long gone.*

I know back then I was hurt she gave me up but as I aged I understood. When I settled down finally I went to go get her and bring her to live with me but she was already gone. I thought you all were gone brother.

*Bae's mental voice shook with sadness as he talked about his mother to his little brother. He knew they didn't have much time to talk so he asked a final question that was burning within him.*

I would tease you about running through my mate's dreams but you are helping keep him calm so I am thankful. We are traveling with a human who is very dear to my heart will he be allowed to stay with us once we arrive?

[inked_prophet]

*Jonghyun cooed soothingly to his brother as he sensed his emotions. He had done a little prodding and had seen things about this man his brother wad talking about and hummed in thought.*

You will have to speak to the elders, but from what I have seen in your dreams and memories, I trust him.

*He said as he tried to ease his brothers worried thoughts. He knew Bae was worried and a bit stressed about this adventure, but Jonghyun was trying his best to help sooth him as well as his mate.*

They are building you a home here for you and your mate. They plan to make it bug enough for your new family as well. Your friends will be given places that they can stay in as well, if you don't want them living with you. You don't have to worry about a thing, hyung.

[claroquesi]

*Bae let out a soft sigh as he allowed his brother to help him relax. He was thankful for everything the white wolf had done for him already. The point when he started guiding them Bae was ready to give up hope they would ever reach the safe area.*

Thank you brother, you have done so much for me, my mate and our friends. I don't know how I'll ever repay you for everything. I hope we reach you before the pups were born.

*Hearing Dongwook start to stir he started to let his focus slide on his connection to his brother.*

Forgive me brother but I must go now my watch is over I must rejoin my mate now. Thank you for talking to me tonight.

[inked_prophet]

[I'm gonna skip a bit of time, but do you think Jiwon should have his babies before he gets there or after they get there?]

Get some rest, hyung. I'll see you in your dreams.

*Jonghyun let Bae break the connection as he went back to Jiwon's dreams, belong to keep the young leopard calm. He wasn't sure when the birth would take place, but all he could do was help sooth Jiwon so he wouldn't be stressed.*

*Jiwon was sleeping peacefully and snuggled up to Bae when he came to his side. His dreams were light and happy, keeping him content thanks to the friendly and happy wolf looking after them. It helped keep him at ease and the babies calm at night and during their travels.*

[claroquesi]

[Honestly with the history of both we've laid out I think they should be there when he has them knowing they will all be safe but I can see the other way to they almost make it but the stress finally gets to Jiwon sending him into labor. Either way Bae is going to be a freaking mess and trying to help and protect them. Lol so yeah either way :)]

*Bae slept through the rest of the night Jiwon wrapped protectively in his arms. The next morning Bae awoke with a smile to the smell of breakfast cooking. He nuzzled his nose into jiwon's neck not wanting to get up yet. He wasn't sure if he should reveal to his mate who the wolf guiding them was. He finally forced himself to get up a few minutes later and went off to hunt a bit and gather more water for the next leg of their trip.*

[just filler lol sorry.]

[inked_prophet]

[I think I know of what to do, it's gonna be like, a mix of both. He can go into contractions and labor pains, so Bae can carry him the rest of the way and they see that Jonghyun is waiting with a doctor and some people to take him to the medical hut and such where he can safely have the babies with Bae allowed to help.]

*Jiwon nuzzled up to Bae when he felt his mate nuzzle and nose his neck soothingly. He felt the elder leave their nest of bedding and blankets, hearing the light conversation and foot falls off into the woods before he slowly started to rouse from his sleep.*

*With a yawn, he rubbed his eyes and pouted, holding the pillow close as he sat up with a little struggle. Hanbin smiled to him and helped him stand and had him sit by the fire while they made breakfast.*

I managed to trade some pelts and a little bit of meat for some eggs, I figured you could use them. I got a lot in case you and the pups were really hungry.

*Hanbin offered him a generously filled plate with a smile which he gratefully took. With a smile and thanks, Jiwon started to eat his breakfast. He kept a ear out for Bae as his tail flicked and he relaxed by the fire, rested from the night.*

I might end up taking a lot of pee breaks, I feel like they're taking turns sitting on my bladder.

[claroquesi]

[Sounds good to me :)]

*Bae took a deep breath looking around the river he was standing in. He took in the beauty around him for a moment before bending down the refill the canteens. Once done he hung them over his shoulder and went about hunting for some more meat for them. Dongwook smiled softly at his friend's mate as he ate his own breakfast.*

I'm sure that won't be a problem, how are you feeling this morning.

*he asked as he let his gaze trail towards the woods watching for any threats and the return of Youngbae.*

[inked_prophet]

*Jiwon smiled as he swallowed his mouth full. He reached down to place a hand on his stomach as the babies seemed to keep calm.*

I'm feeling pretty good, they're all calm and so am I.

*He said as he felt Hanbin place a hand on his stomach as well. The fox laughed softly and grinned at his friend.*

You're really warm right here, too. Maybe you won't be as cold the further up we travel.

*Hanbin knew how much Jiwon didn't quite like the cold, but he would get used to it. His breed were meant to adapt to their surroundings, even if it meant getting used to snow and the cold.*

[claroquesi]

*Dongwook opened his mouth to say something closing it again when he saw Bae brake through the trees heading towards them some Rabbits in his hands. Dongwook excused himself and went over taking everything from Bae telling him to go eat before they left. Bae just nodded and went over sitting next to his mate after getting his portion of breakfast.*

Morning love

*he kissed jiwon's cheek before he started to eat quickly starving after his little hunt. After a few bites he slowed down before looking at his mate l deciding to tell him what he had discovered.*

I talked to the white wolf last night, they are building homes for us...

[inked_prophet]

Morning, baby.

*Jiwon greeted his mate, snuggling up to him as he ate his own food. He was glad that the elder had spoken with the wolf that had been in their dreams guiding them.*

Oh? I'm glad, I know we will need one with the babies on the way.

*He said with a smile before he hooked his arm around Bae's so the elder could still eat while he stayed close to his side.*

Did you find out who he was? He seems very nice.

[claroquesi]

*Bae swallowed the bite in his mouth nodding as he leaned against his mate. He took a few minutes happiness filling his heart as he finally told his mate.*

It's one of my brothers, Jonghyun. I helped Umma take care of him before she gave me away, he's blind.

*Hearing the words from his friend Dongwook stopped working on skinning and cutting the meat from the animals Bae brought back. He moved his work closer so he could hear better as he narrowed his eyes at Bae.*

I thought your family was dead.

So did I Hyung, when I went back to get umma everyone was long gone so I just figured the hu... Bad humans got them all.

*Dongwook nodded as he tried to figure out how to kindly ask of his friend was sure and it wasn't a trick or trap.*

[inked_prophet]

He seems very nice, hyung. He is always keeping me calm and singing to me when I'm sleeping. His voice is beautiful.

*Jiwon said with a smile as he finished his breakfast and snuggled closer to his lover. Hanbin raised and ear as they spoke and cocked his head to the side with a raised eyebrow and a questioning look.*

Was he pure white with a black lace cloth covering his eyes?

Yeah, has he been visiting you, too?

I've only seen glimpses of him in my dreams, like he's trying to see who I was and if I was a threat.

What about you, hyung?

*Jiwon questioned as he looked to Dongwook, wondering if the elders had seen the wolf in his dreams as well.*

[claroquesi]

*Bae finished his breakfast as well gently pulling his mate into his lap. He placed a kiss on his cheek as Dongwook nodded.*

A couple of times he doesn't really talk or anything he's looked through my memories.

He was trying to see if you guys are a threat to us or not. He knows you aren't though.

*bae rested his chin on Jiwon's shoulder as he rested a hand on his mates stomach. He knew they had to leave soon but he still wanted to cuddle a bit.*

When we arrive I'll talk to the elders about Dongwook staying with us

[inked_prophet]

[Gonna skip some time now to when dey get dere. :3]

*Jiwon smiled as he sat happily in Bae's lap. When they eventually started their travels again, they made good time. They still had to make a few stops for Jiwon, but it wasn't a burden and didn't hold them up too badly.*

*They traveled for a few days, getting closer and closer. Jiwon noticed a change in his body, the babies had shifted a little lower and he was feeling rather sore and lethargic even more.*

*Hanbin stayed by his side and they had to take more breaks than before with his swollen and sore feet. Things had gotten colder and they swaddled him up in heavy clothed and coats before continuing on.*

*It was the last day of their travels and they were getting closer when Jiwon started to feel pains in his abdomen and in his lower regions. He gave a pained sound and felt his legs go weak as he felt a presence in his mind, checking on him. It was the wolf, he could tell, but the pain was so much that he couldn't concentrate on anything.*

Fuck... Bae...

*He whined out as he felt the pain start to slowly leave him. Hanbin was already crouched at his side when he managed to open his eyes to look at them.*

[claroquesi]

*As days past in their travels Bae's anxiety rose hoping and praying the Cubs would hold out until they reached the safety of their new home. He cuddled and helped his mate as much as he could while they were on their way. Even sharing the path they were taking with Dongwook so the elder could lead and Bae could keep an eye on his mate from behind.

He knew they were so close when he heard the pained cry from his mate. He quickly closed the short distance between them and knealt down on his mates otherside. Dongwook had stopped as well and came over to check on them. Bae's instincts kicked into gear causing him to scoop Jiwon into his arms.*

Dongwookie, will you guide Hanbin the rest of the way? I need to take Jiwon.

*not stopping for a answer from the others he took off running towards the village his mate gently but firmly held on his arms.*

Hang in there baby. I'm going to get you to the healer.

*he cooed before sending a mental message to his brother to have the healer ready if possible.*

[inked_prophet]

*Jonghyun was waiting with the healers at his side when the others found them. He stayed where he was while the healers went off with Hanbin to find Jiwon and Bae. He was afraid of this happening, but he was glad they were so close to the village.*

*Jiwon clung to Bae with a soft whimper as he looked to his lover. He was scared, he knew they were close, but it was so painful and he was suddenly hit with the realisation that he didn't know a thing about taking care of babies, be it pups or cubs.*

Bae... I'm scared...

*He wasn't one to ever admit he was afraid of something, so he was sure Bae would know just how terrified he was. He looked up and saw Hanbin with the healers, each of them looking over him gently as they checked his clothes. They weren't wet, so they didn't have to worry about the cold yet.*

*After a while later, his pains started up again, causing him to cry out again. They were at the top of the hill where Jonghyun was waiting, but he couldn't see the wolf through the pain.*

I'm sorry I can't sooth him, but once he is in the medical hut, they can give him something for the pain.

*Jonghyun spoke as they walked down the path into the village. It was covered in snow, but people were peeling out of their houses to see the newcomers. They knew something was wrong and to not approach them, the healers went ahead of them and started to prepare the sterile room for the birth.*

[claroquesi]

*Bae looked down at his little feline placing a soft kiss on his lips.*

I'm scared to but we've got eachother we will raise amazing pups or Cubs.

*Bae kept his mate held tightly eyeing the healers when they gave the okay he took off carrying his mate to the hut. He nodded at his brothers words.*

I don't fault you brother you have kept him calm during our long journey.

*Bae couldn't help himself sending a few nasty glares at those gocking at his mate. He carried Jiwon into the but before letting the healers take over.*

I want to help!

[inked_prophet]

Calm, hyung. They just want to see who the new people joining their community are. I told them about your mate being close to birth, so they are worried for him.

*Jonghyun said as he held onto Hanbin's arm. The fox helped lead the blind wolf into the hut and helped him sit in a chair out of the way while Jiwon was placed on the table.*

*Jiwon gave a soft growl of discomfort and looked for Bae, reaching his hand out to his lover to hold. The pains he had seemed to come more frequently, shorter moments of relief between the bursts of pain.*

Bae...

*The healers were working around the room as one helped Jiwon out of his clothing before placing a blanket over his torso and a paper sheet covering it to keep anything from making the blanket a mess. The head healer, a well practiced hybrid doctor, examined the boys body. His water broke soon after his clothes were removed, which was a bit of a relief, but he didn't have time to think about it as the doctor checked his body.*

The birth canal has formed and your contractions are coming closer. Your mate can either hold your hand for comfort or he can help with the birthing. The nurses will take the babies and weigh them and clean them up when they are born.

*The doctor elaborated as he looked to the mates as he pulled his gloves off to wash up and put on new ones along with his scrubs.*

[claroquesi]

*Bae had moved over to the table holding jiwon's hand using his other to gently caress his face trying to help him.*

I'm right here my sweet love. You're doing so good baby boy.

*he bit his lip looking down at the healers he did want to help with the birthing. He looked back at Jiwon smiling softly as Dongwook sat down beside the blind wolf worried for his friends.*

I think it would be best if I held his hand and offered any comfort I can during this time.

[inked_prophet]

*The birthing took time and the drugs they gave him on lessened the pain slightly. Jiwon was crying by the time the pups and cubs were being born. It was painful and tiring, but he was glad Bae was there to hold his hand and comfort him.*

*Jonghyun was worried for them, but he stayed in his seat, moving to place a friendly hand on Dongwook's knee gently. He could feel the worry rolling off the man next to him.*

They're in good hands, the babies and Jiwon will be okay.

*He said as the doctor announced the arrival of the first small child born. It was a pup, it was a girl, two perky ears and a wet fluffy tail to indicate it's wolf bloodline. She cried as she was taken and cleaned up as they got ready for the second to be born.*

[claroquesi]

Squeeze my hand if you need to baby boy. You are so amazing Jiwon I love you and our children so much, so very strong.

*Bae cooed at his mate reaching up with his free hand to wipe away his mate's tears. Dongwook looked over at the blind wolf he couldn't deny he was worried he had grown attatched to his spiritual brother's mate.*

I trust they are or Bae would have them out of here by now. It's kind of amazing I watched him grow and now I'm witnessing his mate bring their children into the world.

*bae looked down as the healer announced the girl's birth seeing her he smiled wide even as he longed to hold her as she cried.*

Ah love she is a very beautiful wolf. You are doing so well.

*Bae told his mate his eyes following the healer who took the girl away to clean her before looking back down at his mate.*
