At least he was no longer in the basement.

That was something.

But despite all the comfort of the guest bedroom, Jason just wanted to go back to the dorm. Yes, as ludicrous as it sounded he was ready to give up the spacious luxury of Matteo’s brownstone, private room, ensuite, and more food than he thought he could ever eat for his shared, cramped dorm room with ramen noodles and daily threat of foot fungus.

Then why leave?

For starters, he didn’t have his stuff with him. And he liked his stuff.

While Mouth had trafficked a few items from their hall, Jason was finding it hard to settle in. Mostly because he didn’t want to.

So he’d been bit. So what? Sure, he was a werewolf but that was only a couple of nights a month. He’d cope.

Besides if he had to endure more sympathetic looks from Matteo, fatherly pats on the shoulder, and lectures about being a newly sired werewolf, he was going to lose it.

“So apparently another side effect is your increased mirror time,” Mouth said from the bedroom.

Jason wanted to ask if his friend could blame him. But didn’t. Suddenly Jason was the hypermasculine ideal he’d always wanted to be but could never really be bothered to become. Swollen muscles, chiseled torso, rippling abs. There was something almost obscene to him now.

Not that he was complaining. Just took some time to get used to was all.

But preening wasn’t what had stalled him in the bathroom. Well, not the whole time. He was changing. Not completely, just parts of him. When he was brushing his teeth, his canines had extended. When he was marveling at his pecs, he grew a thick pelt of chest hair. And when he was wiping his…well, there were claws.

“Sorry,” he replied, exiting the bathroom. “Wasn’t checking myself out. Just getting used to everything is all.”

“Sure, whatever” Mouth replied, dismissively.

“No, really. Like this is supremely weird. And not the abs and shoulders and underwear model thing – which I do like – but like how often did I used to shave?”

“Uh,” Mouth said, unsure if this was a fact he should know about his roommate. Or indeed, admit to knowing about his roommate. “Not to sound creepy but I’m gonna say once, maybe twice a week. I don’t recall it being that often and does this make us too close?”

“You can dial down the gay panic, but usually once a week.”

“Your point?”

“Now it’s daily.”

“Really?”

“Yup.”

“Well, that’ll be handy for when you go full mountain man hipster for winter.”

“Because that’s something I’d do?”

“Well, no, but now, you know you could,” Mouth replied awkwardly. “Hair too? I see a man-bun in your not-too-distant.”

“Fuck off.”

“What’s with the whining? You love grooming. It’s what makes you such a great homosexual.”

“Not the fact I like dick?”

“Well, yeah there is that. But we weren’t talking about how insatiable your sex drive is about to become.”

“You’ve been doing your research.”

“I like to think I’m a good friend. I like to think you think I’m a good friend too.
