Suni paused by a small private alcove of rocks, hand gently resting on top of Kyro's head, gently thumbing his velvet ears, both to keep himself from launching at Karloi and erasing the smug smirk on the fox's face. "If you're done sticking your nose into my clan's business, you can leave."
Karloi glared between the two "you can't be serious about this." He deadpanned.
Suni merely shrugged "I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing, either. But I don't think it's bad, neither for myself or for the future of my clan." Suni replied honestly.
kyro shifted back, his long hair trailing back down his shoulders ' and from what ive seen suni makes good decisions . "
Karloi threw his head back in a laugh "you don't even know him, dog. As long as your pleasure is satisfied, you'll be willing to do just about anything, say anything to defend him. Once another pretty little thing comes along offering you something more, I have no doubt in my mind you'd turn around and trail after it." Karloi growled out with a satisfied grin.
kyro snapped. dog? ohhh that sent kyro over the edge, he shifted and lunged for the foxes neck, never once biting down. his fear wrenching growl continuing as he threaten to bite down.
Karloi barely had time to react, only being about to shift as he met Kyro's impact. His yips and barks for help were met with silence, the rest of Suni's clans happily leaving the situation to their leader.
Suni grinned, letting Kyro have his fun before gently tugging the scruff of his neck to get him off. "I did tell you to leave, didn't I?" Suni purred, his eyes aglow with pure amusement as he watched karloi scramble up and make his way back towards the break of the trees, tails embarrassingly tucked between his kegs. Suni reluctantly followed to make sure he was gone, shifting and stalked a few yard behind the grey fox.
kyro gave a bark at the foxes leave, pulling back when suni tugged on him. he shook his head, not following suni but going to the smaller cubs to calm down. he played easily with them.
The pups, of course supervised by their mothers and Harrow, tumbled about with Kyro, though were warry as their attention was split between playing and watching Suni.
Suni lead Karloi to the treeline, barking a string of commands, mostly what to tell his sister, as he stalked behind. The other merely nodded silently, refusing to meet anyone's gaze, especially Kyro's
kyro barked happily as he played. eventually he was pined by the pups and played dead. big bad wolf was only bad when he had to be
Suni sat for a moment, tails twitching in controlled annoyance until he was sure Karloi was gone. His ears dropped after a few minutes, his previous rage with the other fox now filled to a worry for his sister.
kyro got up, tracing behind suni and coming up behind him. as he came up behind he tucked his head underneath sunis,giving a soft whine of concern. he had to be thinking along the same lines as he saw the worried look.
Suni trilled softly in appreciation, nudging back and licking Kyro's cheek. He sighed softly, debating whether it's be worth going to see his sister or stay. After a few minutes of mental debate, he decided that'd it'd be best if he stayed with his clan. He didn't want any other foxes like Karloi dropping by unexpectedly and harassing his clan, much less Kyro.
kyro nudged suni to come back, trotting a few steps before looking back at the other an tilting his head
Sunil watched kyro for a moment, amusement flickering his eyes before he stood, shook himself off, and following the wolf back toward the clan. He shifted to normal, a laugh bubbling up as the pups joined them, bouncing about energetically
kyro went back to playing around and letting the cubs chase him. if it wasnt obvious before, it was clear that kyro was a natural omega before he took the alpha spot
Suni watched with a small smile as the pups tussled clamored over Kyro. He glanced down as two pups nipped at his ankles and gave a playful growl, dropping down to their height and gently swatting and nudging them.
kyro bolted past suni, the pups at his heels. he seemed to be having quite the fun. it wasn't long before kyro grew tired and flopped down beside his tree. he was panting, letting the few fox pups tug at his tail and gently nip at them.
Suni followed after with his load of pups, one managing to get a piggy-back ride, two in suni's arm and then two more at his heals. He carefully sat beside Kyro, carefully disentangling himself from three of pups. "They're a handful, aren't they?" He teased, gently ruffling kyro's head
kyro gave a soft groan and put his head in sunis lap. he notices as all the pups curled up around him and started to settle down. his tail wagged gently
"are you alright?" He asked softly as he ran his fingers through Kyro's fur. "I'm sorry about Karloi, he usually doesnt come around a lot." He apologized, glancing around the clan. He'd stay up tonight with a few others, hunting and training a few of the older foxes since he had indulges today and slept in. "You didn't hurt your arm lunging at him like that?" He asked, finding the wound and checking for irritation or blood
kyro gave a sigh, trying his best not to nip at the other as he touched his shoulder. he gave a whine and tucked his face into sunis jacket. the wound itself was still raw, though it was healing slowly. it my have been from his moving around so often but kyro wasn't the wolf to sit around all day unless the fox worked his magic and got him to sit still.
Suni glanced over and gently dropped a kiss to Kyro's head. "So you can take down Karloi and you can fight the pups bit if i touch, suddenly you're sensitive?" Suni teased, lightening his touch. "I'll have Sasha come over again to make sure it's alright." He reassured, leaving the wound alone for now.
kyro huffed. shifting back and sitting up" when i jump or lundge i baby the wound and the cubs know better then to mess with it after a sniped a few. you and sasha put pressure on it" he explained and nuzzled into the crook of sunis neck. " i.. im sorry for asking this.. but ive got to get it out.. is what that dumb fox said true?… i know its stupid but im that stupid to let it get under my skin.."
Suni teasingly rolled his eyes "I'm sorry, dear. neither I or Sasha mean to hurt you." He nuzzled back and pressed a kiss to Kyro's temple. "What is true? Karloi said a lot." He murmured, shaking his head. "You're not stupid."
kyro held his tongue for a minute " was the only reason you get so close to me is jut to protect your clan?" he asked softly and curled up a bit " that comment is burning at my mind" he said
Suni flicked and glanced away, unable to meet Kyro's gaze. "At first, yes. It was." He admitted softly. "I had no reason to take you in other than that. Your clan was going to attack us, all for a file I stole that had nothing in it. If it were me, I'd be fine with that but It wasn't worth putting my entire clan at risk. If I could get any help, even from an enemy's member then I was going to take it." He explained, voice desperate for understanding. "But then when you risked your life for me and I are you just lying there bleeding out, I didn't see you as another dog out for my clan. I saw you as one of my own, hurt. There was no way I was going to leave you."
kyros eyes teared up a bit. he hugged suni, squeezing a bit " an now? with this?" he asked and sipped his hand into sunis. " what even is this.." kyro asked, almost scared for the answer
Suni gently brushed a hand along Kyro's cheek. "I-i don't know. I want it to be something more than just a need to keep my Kitsune safe…but right now, that's my priority Kyro. I need them safe, away from harm. They're my responsibility. I love them." He paused, chest aching "but I want to love you too." He lifted their intertwined hands "I want this to be real. Solely for us. I don't care if anyone outside of this clan thinks otherwise."
kyro sighed, putting his forehead on sunis. " lets get them home tomorrow, ill watch the pups as we walk." he said softly " and suni.. i love you too." he said softly and gave a soft smile, " i will be there, to help lift you up, and catch you when you fall. i will always be loyal to you." he said
Suni visibly relaxed as he pressed into Kyro's embrace. "Thank you," he whispered softly. "Thank you so much." He closed his eyes, a fraction of the stress that had been weighing him down this entire time lifting. He wasn't alone. Kyro's would be there, helping him and his clan, keeping them safe. "I'm not sure how the mothers will feel about a giant wolf heading around their pups but I'm sure your charms will win them over." He teased softly, offering a small smile "as do I, lovely creature, no matter how much you pissed me off when we first met." He snickered and pressed a soft kiss to Kyro's brow
kyro chuckled " sorry for trying to soak you." he said and smiled. kyro sighed as he looked down at the sleeping pups " wanna help? im gonna get them back to their mothers.." he said and chuckled a bit " i think i wore them out."
