whatever happened the night before was forgotten by morning. that was surprising, considering how nosy orochi was. he would insist on knowing what everything was doing at all times. the curiosity was exclusively hurled at his mother, since she was the only thing he knew. so one would think he’d be wide awake when the pair relocated to a new den. but he had eaten a particularly big meal that night and he was too full and too tired to bother with anything. wasn’t like there was much to discover anyways. he could barely hear anything and couldn’t see. oh well, he could do some exploring in the morning.
and explore he did because he would be blessed with a new sense that day. for the first time in his short life, he opened his eyes the sun. it wasn’t a pleasant experience. the rays of light scorched his delicate eyes and he let out an annoyed squeak. orochi would’ve huddled back to his mom’s side, but he couldn’t. there was something off about this place. it felt much more cramped then usual. once the boy’s eyes adjusted to the light he searched for answers.
and there they were. two featureless figures smack dab in the middle of the room. oh no, this wasn’t about to happen. this was his turf and he didn’t remember giving out any invitations. these intruders would have to get out tout suit.
the angry fluffball squirmed his way towards them, grunting angrily all the while. the smallest of the two was his first target. orochi grabbed onto one of his paws and started chewing.

the newest addition to their family den did little to bother deku. while he may have been a soft boy – tender in most things – he was surprisingly steadfast in the face of the unknown. he had already transitioned through gaining his sight and hearing up to full capacity. the bi-colored child was almost a month old already, and he had learned so much in his short time on earth. one thing that was not sated was his desire to learn and discover the things he was unfamiliar with.
when orochi approached on stubby limbs, deku turned his attention toward his brother. his ears were drawn forward and stood perfectly tall – almost comically – atop his pale crown. his head tilted to the side with fascination at the new member, but he was not ready to be so close to the other boy. as orochi approached him, hellbent on causing havoc, deku tried to wiggle himself away.
it didn’t work well enough. orochi was faster than expected and before anything could be done about it, had scooped up deku’s paw in his mouth and had started to chomp down on it. the starchaser might have been small, but his reaction was very large. throwing his head back and parting his lips, deku released a mighty cry throughout the den. once he had finished, he ripped his paw free of the other pup’s mouth and rose to stand with furrowed brows.
“hey!” he exclaimed in a soft voice.

the shriek just made him even more displeased. god, first he takes up all the leg room and now he had to wake up the entire forest? orochi tried covering his ears with his little potato wedge legs to no avail. he lifted his head the best he could and glared at the light mass. multiple enraged squeaks and grumbles bought the den to life.

the noises that orochi was making caused immediate concern in the soft child. his expression of indignant outrage softened quickly to a look of concern. he lowered his head a little and leaned forward, blinking softly at the other pup. deku did not want to hurt orochi, but he most certainly did not want his paws to be chewed on. he had just started to feel a little better about standing and moving around on them. he had just started to shed some of the awkwardness that existed in his frame – those paws were beneficial to him.
“dat’s mine,” deku informed orochi with a soft voice and a small nod. that ought to have done the trick, right? the soft child waited to see if the other pup would respond in anything more than an aggressive garble of noises. his gentle blue gaze was glued tightly to the other boy. there was something terrifying about being so close to something that felt so… tender. deku was almost fearful, but only because he didn’t realize that he had been like that too, not long before that moment.
