Vexis sat up from his bed, letting a loud yawn. His ears twitched as birds tweeted. Getting out of bed he headed to the bath room, taking of his night clothes and getting in the shower. He quickly got his hair clean avoiding his ears and eyes. When he was done he worked on his tail. After that he wrapped a towel around his waist, and grabbing a hair dryer he made fast work of drying his tail. He bushed both his hair and tail. Phone rings in the bedroom. Vexis walked to the phone and answers it.
“Hello.” A lady’s voice spoke.
“Hello Rena. How many I help you.” Vexis replied in a grumpy voice.
“You need to come to the office, the boss wants to talk to you.” Rena said in a stern voice. Vexis sighed and relayed with a quick ok and hung up. Putting his pants, t-shirt, jacket, and his socks and boots. He opened his small apartment door and headed to the bus stop. As he was walking a few men decided to make some rude comments.
“Look Dom, a furry freak. Wonder if they let him go without a leash. “ Both men laughed .
"Ha ha Frank looks like it.” Dom laughed , Vexis just looked at them and just walked away. Both men were unhappy that Vexis ignored them continug the walk to work, things were normal to him, people belittling him. Making comments that hes a hybrid. Vexis wasn’t bothered. His orangish yellow eyes stared at the lamp post that held the walking sign. While waiting on the signal to turn to the walk his phone buzzed. He checked it and it was Rena telling him to hurry. He messaged back with a ok.
The signal turned and he continued his walk. Five minutes later he arrived at the dirty building that was his work. Vexis opened the door to be greeted by a angry Rena. “Mr. Lee is waiting on you.” She sounded stressed. She lead him to the conference room. Vexis walked in to be greeted by his boss and a couple.
"Vex these people are looking for someone to teach their son how to live on their own.” Mr. Lee said. The couple was a small woman, with wolf features, her tail was pure black her ears were the same. The male was taller than Vexis, he had a dark brown tail and his ears were the same. Both were pure breeds. “Mr and Mrs. Black would pay you a good amount.” Money. That got Vexs attention, the couple looked rich. Their clothes were fancy. Nice jewelry.
Our son needs to learn how to take care of himself. So we found this… dirty place. You guys take odd jobs. We will be paying you 1,000$ a month.” Mr. Black said. Vexis looked at them.
"How long do I have? And how old, cause I won’t be teaching a child.” Vexis monotone voice asked.
"Hes 21. And we will give you a year. We will also pay half of your rent.” Mrs. Black replied. Vexis looked at the couple and gave a few minutes of quiet. A thousand a month, and half his rent. That sounded good, his last job barely gave him any money. His bank was quiet low, so this would be a great opportunity. But it means he has to live with someone. That almost weighs out the money. He sighs.
"Fine. But I will not treat him like hes royalty. I don’t care how rich. I will establish my own rules.” Vexis spoke. Mr.Lees eyes popped out, he couldn't believe Vex said that to the clients.
That the attitude that we need. You were right Mr.Lee, hes the perfect one to teach our son. His name is Remus. Vex right?” The woman spoke.
Its Vexis. Just have my boss give you the address. I’m going to do some errands. And be careful near the house. It’s a bad neighborhood.” Vexis spoke with his monotone voice. He left before his boss could say anything. He walked to the store to get some food for his crappy apartment.
After he picked up his stuff he headed to the pharmacy to pick up his meds. He soon got them and headed home. The two hours he took to get home the couple just arrived. The door opened revealing a angry male. His tail fluffed up as he was arguing with his parents.
"I don’t want to be here!”
"To bad Remus. You need to learn to do things yourself. Not having the maids take care of you.” Mrs. Black said. Getting out of the car and grabbing her sons bag. Setting it down as she sees Vexis. “Remus, this is the one that’s going to teach you.”
Remus looked at Vexis. “This dirty hybrid?” Remus gagged at the thought. His mother glared. “I don’t want this.”
Neither do I rich asshole.” Vexis replied. Remus stood there shocked. No one ever spoke to him like this. His parents quickly waved and left. “Grab your bags and follow me.” Vexis walked to his door and opened it, the wolf sighed and whined. Bringing his bags into the small apartment. Remus started to cry, this place was not like home.
"Where am I sleeping?” Remus asked. Not ready for the answer. Vexis pointed to the couch. “Why don’t I get a bed?” His blue eyes stared at the hybrid.
"I only have one and its mine. So suck it up you entitled prick.” Vexis voice sounded to firm for the wolf to argue. Remus's ears dropped, he wanted to go home so bad. Vexis threw a pillow and blanket on the couch "Dinner is going to be started soon. So stop whining and suck it up.”
Remus sat down, hating the hybrid. No one should treat him like this. His parents were one of the richest people in the world.
A couple of hours passed, leaving Remus bored out of his mind. The tv had no good channels like he had at home. He resorted to staring at the ceiling. Soon his attention turned to the hybrid coming out of the bedroom. Remus watched as Vexis went to the small kitchen.
Vexis grabbed some hamburger meat and closed the fridge. He knew the wolf was staring at him. But he didn’t care. He made a few pattys and put the rest of the meat away. Vexis started dinner. He explained to the wolf how to cook hamburgers, but Remus ignored him.
