Apollo
All these dinners with my brothers and their mates were getting lonely and
a touch boring, but they were necessary. At least according to them they
were. And I suppose to me too, but I was feeling particularly grumpy about
them today and didn’t want to admit that, even to myself.
And really, I didn’t mind going months and months, or even years, without
seeing or speaking to my brothers, but it seemed that I was alone in that
feeling. When you’d lived as long as we had, a month was a blip in time,
but I found that my brothers, and now their mates, weren’t on the same page
as I was when it came to that. They wanted to see me, be around me, see
how I was doing frequently. If I stayed away for weeks at a time, they
began to get worried. When they were worried, they searched the forest.
Sooner or later, they would stumble upon my hidden dwelling. And well, I
wasn’t prepared to share it with them.
I wasn’t a complete hermit. I was absolutely prepared to share it, but only
with my mate, which was why these dinners were lonely. I was the only one
that fate hadn’t seen worthy of a lifelong companion yet. I tried to brush it
off at first. I’d been alone for longer than any human or shifter on this
planet had been alive, and it hadn’t bothered me once. Not really.
Until recently.
And it wasn’t that I wished my brothers didn’t have their happiness. I
wanted them to have all they had and more. It was difficult to see them all
blissed out and then going home to be utterly alone, that was all.
My brothers sat with their mates next to them, sometimes in their laps, their
children—the oldest crawling around now and the littlest one sitting in a
little highchair that Terran had built. They had something I didn’t, and if it
had been a car or a house or anything materialistic, I wouldn’t come close
to caring. But this was different—they had become truly alive in a way we
had never been all this time.
For hundreds of years, I had lived like this, and there had never been a
problem. But now that the forest was open and visitors came here, I hoped
that my mate was out there and that he would soon visit so that we could
finally be together. It was a lonely existence. Just waiting.
“So, what have you been working on recently, Apollo?” Maddox asked.
I knew that Maddox was trying to make small talk. I had learned about
small talk thanks to the little instrument that had the internet on it. I simply
typed in something and answers came at me, rapid fire. Only sometimes,
those answers weren’t correct or there were conflicting answers. Phrases
could mean two different things, which was incredibly confusing. I both
loved and hated the blasted thing.
“Nothing really,” I said.
