My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 294: A Decision to Make

Sebastian headed back to his own place and decided to give a thorough reading of the contract. Sure he had his lawyer read it, but he couldn’t believe that there was a clause that would allow the producers to fire him. Right now was really not a good time, and he would do anything to not go for a shoot right now.

Unable to find anything relevant that would allow him to urge the producers to back down with the dates, Sebastian sighed. He might have to cancel the shoot after all. Not yet ready to say goodbye to his dream project yet, Sebastian closed the pdf, and went ahead to shower. After the gruesome scene he witnessed, he needed that.

He made himself some lunch and worked on some of the files he had borrowed from Christian to decrease the workload of the others. It took him around hours before he was done with every single one of them. It was almost evening when Sebastian received a text from his mate, “Where are you?” it said.

Sebastian informed Christian about his location, and soon enough there was a loud knock on the door. “Christain?” Sebastian was amazed to find his mate there “What brings you over”? He chuckled.

“I brought beer.” Christian held up a series of bottles in his hand, six-pack as they were colloquially known.

“You wanna get drunk”? Sebastian was definitely curious. What had happened to Christian.

“I can’t believe this will be the rest of my life now.” groaned Christian. “I need the booze.”

.....

“Please tell me you don’t plan on becoming an alcoholic.” Sebastian half teased, half asked with concern.

“Let us pray it doesn’t come to that.” and with that Christian invited himself in.

Sebastian didn’t bother to stop his mate, even though Christian wore his shoes to the living room, dirtying his floor in the process. Sebastian had the urge to nag at Christian, but he refrained from doing so as Christian was clearly exhausted.

“You don’t wanna freshen up?” Sebastian offered.

“Nope. I just wanna lay down and drown my fatigue in the beers.” Christian sighed. Seeing how there wasn’t much on his hand to convince Christian otherwise, Sebastian decided to join Christian and grabbed himself a bottle.

Within a few minutes the entire six pack was emptied, Sebastian having had only one bottle while Christian chugging down the rest of it. Seeing Christian in a drowsy state, Sebastian approached Christain and sat down on the floor near Christian’s head. (Christian was lying on the couch at this point, leaving no room for Sebastian to sit on the couch).

“You know that you can talk to me right? If something is bothering you?” Sebastian asked, staring straight into Christian’s eyes.

“What do you think of me?” Christian asked; blurted out of the blue.

“What do you mean”? Sebastian was taken aback by the question. “I love you.” he whispered.

“I know you do, you idiot”! In a drowsy state, Christian spat. Not that Sebastian wasn’t fond of being referred to as an idiot, but he was humoring Christian all this along, so Christian might be right as well. “I mean as the alpha. Do you think I can do this”?

“Of course.” Sebastian shrugged.

“Stop being nice, and be honest”! Christian ordered with a pout that a sober Christian would never dare have.

“I am not being nice, Christian. I know what you are capable of.” Sebastian mumbled. “Why? Do you feel overwhelmed.”

“Shh”! Christian snapped. “Don’t tell anyone.” he snarled at Sebastian playfully, causing Sebastian to chuckle at his drunken adorable mate.

“Hey, it’s okay.” Sebastian consoled Christian. “We got this.”

“We?” Christian pouted. “Don’t you have to go for shooting or something?” he asked. Sebastian was amazed how Christian could guess that.

“How...?” Sebastian was taken aback that Christian was aware of it. “What do you mean shooting”? He asked, trying his level best to not jump to any conclusions.

“Your agent was talking about the schedule getting shifted to an earlier date of something.” Christian mumbled.

Sebastian’s eyes widened. Sebastian was sure he was out of Christian’s earshot when he had the conversation with his agent. Could it be that Christian heard him? How could he know otherwise? “How do you... know about that?”

“Your agent called me this morning. He said he was unable to reach you.” Christian shrugged.

“And how did he have your number?” Sebastian asked skeptically.

“When we all went for the trip, he exchanged numbers with me in case he needed to talk to you and you weren’t available.” Christian shrugged.

“Damn it! That sneaky ba***rd”. Sebastian swore out loud. Sebastian was lucky that Christian was drunk, or else he had a difficult conversation lying ahead of him. “Christian, you don’t have to worry about that. I won’t be taking that job.”

Christian jolted up at that. “Are you kidding me? You were so excited for that? Why don’t you want to take it?” He bombarded his mate with all these questions.

“I am... not interested anymore.” It was a lie, but Sebastian was good at that, especially if your audience is as drunk as Christian was at the moment.

Christian pouted with a frown. “You are lying! You loved that offer. You have to take it, you need to go.”

“Christian Wrisberg, are you kicking me out of your pack”? Playfully, Sebastian asked.

“Yes!” Christian played along. “You need to take this job. How can you take your job so casually? I never do that!” Christian scolded Sebastian.

“Christian, we are not the same people.” Sebastian chuckled. It was amusing to see Christian trying to convince him to take this offer like a kid.

“NO! You have to take that!” Christian pouted.

“Okay, you have had enough, let’s get you to the bed before you pass out.” Sebastian offered.

“No! I am not going anywhere until you promise you will go and do this.”! Christian insisted.

“You realize that if it gets picked up by the network, I’ll be gone for months?” Sebastian asked. “And don’t tell me your brother will help you! He is the Sheriff for god’s sake. He is busy.” Sebastian scoffed.

“I have Melanie, my beta. And I am sure I will find help if I need it.” Christian declared.

“And they can find another actor to portray that character.” Sebastian pointed out.

“But he won’t be nearly as hot as you.” Christian huffed. Sebastian’s eyes widened momentarily, before he let out a chuckle.

“You clearly don’t have any filter when you are drunk, do you?” Sebastian shook his head. “How about this, we will talk about this when you are sober.” Sebastian suggested. “Right now, we have other important things to attend to.” Sebastian declared, referring to ‘not puking all over the area’.

Christian on the other hand did a splendid job misunderstanding Sebastian’s intention and smirked, “You are right, we have something very urgent.” and with that Christian slammed his lips over Sebastian.
