After Dean left, Eliot grabbed the note and skimmed it with a snort. The man was considerate and very caring, but Eliot wasn't sure he wanted to be bonded to a guy who could potentially kill him. Yet the whole time Dean was gone, Eliot found he couldn't stop thinking about him. He also became more agitated too, twisting and getting more annoyed at various small things as time passed... exactly as it should be before a full moon.

By the time Dean returned, Eliot was out of bed seated on the couch, or, rather, laid out sideways on it. The television was on the food channel and he growled at various things that were being done that he found ridiculous or redundant.

He looked up briefly when he found Dean walking in. "You're back."
