Re: Therianthropy, Alicia/Mikey/Pete, part 2

And then Pete met Ashlee. Mikey and Alicia didn't begrudge him happiness, just warned about how difficult it was for the Changed and the Normal to be together. Pete and Ashlee would either make it or not; there was nothing Mikey or Alicia could say that would change Pete's mind, because Pete was desperately in love. They understood that, though Alicia did threaten to disembowel Ashlee if she hurt Pete. Pete thought she was kidding; Mikey knew she wasn't.

Mikey suspects that Pete hadn't Changed since the divorce became final, putting it off, making himself suffer, tormenting himself. Pete is not the calmest person to begin with and putting off the Change would only make it worse, drawing the tension tighter and tighter and tighter until Pete was probably climbing the walls, screaming with the need to shed his human skin for something with fur and claws and big golden eyes.

Deliberately, Mikey nuzzles the back of Pete's neck before biting down, hard. Pete cries out and under him, he can feel Pete's entire body come to attention, focused completely on him. It has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with being Alpha, but still, he can smell how hard Pete is. “Going to take care of you, Pete. Trust me.” And slowly, Pete nods.

Mikey takes them out to a safe place, one filled with wild deer and elk, a place where they can run free and not worry about distraught suburbanites or careless cars. He and Alicia drape a blanket around Pete's shaking shoulders and help him out of the car. They throw the blanket on the ground and quickly start stripping off Pete's clothes; they can feel his Change in the air, building momentum.

Once Pete's naked, Mikey shoves him down to his knees and fists a handful of his dark hair, pushing at Pete's external shape with his power, trying to force out his internal animal form. Pete resists and fights him, screaming, hovering on the knife-edge of Change, the pain digging deep and making him feel again, reminding him that he's alive, that he didn't die when Ashlee walked away.

Alicia grabs Pete's shoulders and squeeze hard. “We're here for you, Pete. Let go, just fucking let go!”

Pete throws his head back and shouts at the sky and Mikey reaches and twists. Suddenly it's happening; Pete can't stop the Change and it's an agony of relief, letting go of his human skin, feeling it melt away. His bones and muscles shift and he lands hard on his hands and knees, growling. It's over as quickly as it started and he leans against Mikey's knee, panting.

As beautiful as Pete is in human form, dark and compact, tattoos like modern arabesques on his body, he's absolutely gorgeous like this, 150 pounds of lean muscled black leopard, velvet-furred and big-pawed. He yawns and shows off his teeth, and Alicia laughs. “All the better to eat you with, my dear,” she singsongs.

Tugging on a furry ear, Mikey nudges Pete in the side with his leg. “Go. We'll catch up in a bit.”

Pete sneezes and lopes off into the darkness, longlong tail lashing gently. “Stay out of trouble,” Mikey calls after him, holding out a hand to Alicia. “You ready?”

Alicia smiles at him and presses a kiss to his lips before Changing. Her Change tugs on Mikey's animal-self, coaxing it out to play and it only takes a second for him to join her, two sleek, predatory panthers disappearing after their mate in the night.

Hi, OP here, and that was gorgeous. Pete is so self destructive, I kind of love the idea of someone being able to force him into taking care of himself, poor kitten.

Thank you so much for this fill. None of the fandoms I'm in have a lot of AUs, let alone ones running in this vein, and this was great. <3

Oh. My. God. Tell me there will be more? Like, more and more and more until it's so long that it is a monsterous beast of fandom?
