#before they can attend normal human school once they aren't just turning into wolves at the drop of a hat

Idea for Zeke and his favorite friend:

Moe has 3 kids, a round of triplets that are around 8 years old. The thing with werewolves is that when they’re born, they haven’t fully separated between their two forms, and initially come out very furry and canine adjacent. This lasts until they’re about four when they go through their first ‘full moon’, changing fully into their second form and then shedding back into their human selves. After this, they go through a period of chaotic shifting for another 2-3 years, unable to control it for a time until they are between 6 and 7 and fall into the natural cycle werewolves find themselves in. 

Zeke met Moe and his mate’s kiddos when they were about 2 after he was invited to a holiday get-together when his new friend found out he didn’t have any plans for said holiday. While Jolie, Moe’s mate, was a bit hesitant about taking in a stray who was still actively on probation and having him around their kids, Zeke obviously surprised her, being a good house guest and an overall polite person to have around, even if he is rather quiet initially and rough around the edges. On top of this, he’s great with the three toddlers who seem fascinated with the new person and who keep bothering him non-stop and its an overall nice holiday evening with a lot of family and other people from the neighborhood.

After most of the other guests have left, the few adults remaining are having coffee in the cramped kitchen and at some point Moe notices Zeke and the pups are missing. Not exactly worried, but certainly curious, he gets up and goes to look, not having to go very far to find them as he turns the corner into the dark living room. Lit by the flashing lights of some cartoon on the old small tv is Zeke, sprawled out and passed out on the worn couch with the napping fuzzy triplets on and around him. 

There’s cars and dolls still in the kids’ hands and on Zeke, the children clearly having been playing atop and around their temporary babysitter before succumbing to the after dinner sleepies. Quickly, Moe grabs his camera and takes a quick picture of his friend and his three furballs, waking up Zeke with the flash and his own giggling. He waves off Zeke’s apology for falling asleep, making sure he’s good to get home as he’s clearly exhausted from the new job and everything else in his life, and Moe thanks him for putting up with the kids, which Zeke similarly shrugs off as ‘ain’t nothing’ before leaving to his newly acquired apartment. 

Moe gets the picture printed out, keeping it on the fridge for years to come as he personally finds it both endearing and extremely funny. After several more times of Zeke coming round and her kids going through their first full moon, Jolie eventually gets a copy framed for her office at the hospital, which is certainly a conversation starter. Zeke, despite thinking its a bad picture of himself, enjoys pointing to it when he’s over and the triplets are being ornery and spiteful as kids can be, the annoyed groan of three children who are not his own making its existence and display worth it. 

#monster dude and gym bro #werewolves get homeschooled for their first few years #its usually by a few elderly women in the community #before they can attend normal human school once they aren't just turning into wolves at the drop of a hat #its why they keep the ears the eyes and some of the hair #not the tails though. sad. #moe and jolie had triplets #and moe immediately goes to get a vasectomy #its not uncommon to have twins #but triplets is not and they both said 'fuck that' to the possibility of more #back to writing chapter 4
