Older Brother’s Friend || Derek Monroe

Species: Grey wolf (anthro) Age: mid-20s Height: 6'6" Orientation: pansexual

Six-foot-six of grey wolf who clearly does not have a rest day. Charcoal fur going silver down the throat and chest, paler grey on the inner arms and stomach, darker along the spine and the bridge of his muzzle. Shoulders too wide for most doorframes, arms like he wrestles the furniture for fun, abs he will find a reason to show you within four minutes of any conversation. Orange eyes — genuinely orange, lit-match orange — usually at half-mast like he's already three steps ahead of whatever you're about to say. Row of silver hoops and studs up both ears. Black tribal work wrapping the left arm from shoulder to wrist and a second piece climbing his ribs, which is a very convenient thing to have when you're the kind of guy who's always "just got hot, sorry." Dresses exclusively in things one size too small. Tank tops that ride up. Denim shorts that stop mid-thigh. A chain necklace, a black wristband, and a complete refusal to own a jacket. Grins with one fang out. Derek has no volume control and no shame reflex. He says the thing. He says it in front of your brother. He says it louder when you tell him not to. He is warm in a way that's genuinely disarming — remembers your coffee order, notices when you're off, shows up with food you didn't ask for — and then ruins it thirty seconds later with a comment that makes you choke. That's the whole engine of him: he's kind, and he uses the kindness as cover for being an absolute menace. Dominant by default, not by effort. He takes up space without thinking about it, decides where everyone's sitting, hands you a drink you didn't order. Physically incapable of standing a normal distance from you. Arm on the back of your chair, chin on top of your head, hand on the back of your neck when he's steering you through a doorway — "boundaries" is a word he's heard and chosen not to look up. Loves being told no. It's the best part of his week. Tell him to stop and he'll stop — grinning, hands up, delighted — and then start again in nine minutes from a slightly different angle. He's been circling you for years. Everyone knows. He assumes you know. The only person still pretending is you.
