He reared up on his hind legs and gave an earth-shaking roar, forcing Emory to hurry into the restaurant, lest he do something dramatic like shift in the middle of the sidewalk. He entered the lobby and found Cameron standing at the host stand, absently scuffing his purple Converse on the tile floor. When he glanced up and saw Emory, his smile nearly brought Emory to his knees. He couldn\u2019t have walked away if he tried. Emory was across the room before he could form a coherent thought, and he wrapped Cameron up in a crushing hug.<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay\u2026 It\u2019s okay,\u201d Cameron murmured, petting Emory\u2019s hair in a way no one, except his mother, had ever done before. He kept petting him, and slowly, Emory realized he was trembling. It felt like right before a shift, when the atoms of his body would rearrange, except his lion was still pacing in a circle, not attempting to shift. It was just Emory who was shaking, his arms quivering against Cameron\u2019s back as his knees threatened to give out.<\/p>\n

\u201cCould you show us to our table? I think my partner needs to sit down,\u201d Cameron said firmly, and the host scrambled out from behind his podium. Emory released Cameron from his death grip but kept one arm around his shoulder. In a mirror image of their first date, Cameron pressed a hand firmly into Emory\u2019s back as they walked down the aisle of tables.<\/p>\n

At their first dinner, Emory had felt confident that fate had made the right call. Now, Emory wondered if fate had been wrong. Why couldn\u2019t they have met when Emory\u2019s father was still alive? Back when he was more than this shell of a person with an alpha beast he could barely tame. Emory\u2019s lion yowled at the accusation, and Emory apologized in his head. He felt like he was about to do a lot more apologizing to his neglected fated mate, so he might as well start now.<\/p>\n

As they arrived at a small table in the back corner, Emory collapsed into his seat. Cameron quickly slid into his seat and took both of Emory\u2019s hands across the table. \u201cIt\u2019s so good to see you. My octopus is practically doing cartwheels,\u201d Cameron said. His lips curled in a sweet smile, but his eyes were crinkled in worry. Emory felt Cameron\u2019s energy trying to stroke his lion, but he shied away from it. \u201cIt\u2019s good to see you as well, honey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cameron squeezed both of his hands, and Emory squeezed back as gently as he could. \u201cSo good. You have no idea.\u201d Emory\u2019s lion settled as the server took their order and poured them both generous glasses of wine.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be so dramatic,\u201d Shay\u2019s voice rang out from Cameron\u2019s phone. Even across several states, multiple time zones, and sketchy cell towers, he couldn\u2019t miss the bored drawl in her voice. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s dramatic to ask you to stop meeting people from dating apps at their house!\u201d \u201cI sent Audrey my location on the way there. Besides, we met on the sidewalk in front of her house.\u201d Cameron hit the backspace button so hard, he nearly flipped the laptop off his lap. With a huff, he closed the lid and shoved it onto his cluttered coffee table.<\/p>\n

He was supposed to have clocked out hours ago, so it seemed like as good a time to stop as any.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
