Choosing Between Them

Third wheel

~Dustin's P.O.V.~

We had made it to the movie theater and it was nearly a barren wasteland. But that's how I liked it. That means little to no people in the line for snacks! We walked in and got in line for snacks. I got buncha crunch, Toby got skittles and Michael got reese's pieces. We all got on large popcorn to share because it was cheaper. When we got to the theater room no one was in there.

I giggled lightly before I ran to the very top of the steps and to the very end. I sat down and noticed there was a seat next to me on both sides. I wanted to sit at the end but then Michael sat down and I ended up sitting in his lap. I blushed and apologized. "Sorry Michael, you can sit here." He shook his head and pulled me back down when I tried to get up. "No it's fine you can sit here." He replied before he sat me down on his lap and held my waist there.

I blushed again and I was about to argue when Tobias spoke up. "Actually Michael I'm sure Dustin would prefer this seat." Then he proceeded to lift me up and set me on his lap. I was comfortable with this. We did this at the movies all the time. Michael, however, did not like this and he growled and glared at Tobias. He sounded so much like Josh when he did that and I couldn't help but shrink into Toby's chest a little and meow in fear. Michael noticed and he immediately looked apologetic.

"I'm sorry for scaring you kitten." He said and picked me up then he hugged me and hid his face in my shoulder. He was like a puppy. I giggled at that and scratched behind his ear showing I forgave him. "It's fine Michael. I know you didn't mean it." He let out a content growl and nuzzled into my neck. He was adorable. Toby just sat there watching the screen with his arms crossed. He seemed angry but he didn't say anything.

Throughout the whole movie I sat in Michael's lap and Tobias sat a seat away from us looking very upset. I need to ask him about that later. When the movie was over we got up and went to throw away our trash. As we walked out I smelled something awful. It was Josh. I prayed he wouldn't notice me but it seems fate has other plans. When we got to the door my name was called from across the theater. I tried to ignore it but the voice just grew louder and louder until I felt a hand grab my shoulder.

I was turned around and faced with the wolf who caused so many of my nightmares. Before I knew it Tobias was between us standing protectively in front of me. "What do you want Josh." He hissed. Michael stood there confused before Josh spoke up. "Awe don't be that way Tyson. I just wanted to say hi to my little buddy here." Toby let out a long hiss and shoved Josh to the ground. "Its Tobias and you are definitely not Dustin's friend you a$$ hat!"

This was one thing I loved about Toby. He protects me no matter what. "Hey what's going on here?" Michael asked after Josh got up. Josh looked at him and grinned. "You're the new kid right? What are you doing hanging out with these low lives?" Michael growled and stepped in front of me protectively. "He is not a low life and I won't stand for you to talk about him like that." He barked. Josh's smile dropped before he smirked at me. "You don't mean that. How could you stand up for this piece of shxt anyway?

He's nothing." That got Michael even more mad. He launched himself at Josh and tackled him to the ground. He threw punches left and right while yelling at Josh to stay away from me. A crowd started forming around us and everything went silent when Michael said, "And don't you ever bother me or my mate again!" He got up off of Josh, grabbed my hand and drug me out of the theater. I was so shocked I didn't even move my feet. Michael noticed this and he picked me up bridal style and kept walking.

I finally found my voice when we started heading to the more rich neighborhoods. "Where are we going Michael?" I asked only slightly scared from his outburst earlier. He looked down at me and smiled. "To my house love." Was all he said before he walked up a driveway to the biggest house in the neighborhood and going through the front door. "Mom, dad! I want you to meet someone." He says and walks into the kitchen still holding me. I blushed as he walked in with me still in his arms. "Guys this is the love of my life."
