Prompt: Yume Week free day prompt - Dog!

Notes: I was going to post the rest of my entries here but I didn't realize just how fast time was passing 😭

“There’s my good boy.” Kai’s smile was big, stretching from ear to ear. The large golden retriever was waiting on her next command as she gave him a treat.

Kai gestures, swiping her finger down and in a slightly stern voice. “Sit.”

Tenma watched the dog follow her word, sitting pretty.

“Paw.” She said and stretched out her hand. The dog first puts his paw on her hand and then Tenma follows.

Kai looked at him, Tenma barely registers what he did until his face felt warm from embarrassment.

“You aren’t a dog.” She teased with a playful glint in her eyes and a matching grin on her face as she stifled her giggle.

“I-I was just—“ he cleared his throat as he pulled away and Daichan was fed his next treat. “—forget it, it was just an acci—“

“Tenma, paw.” Without missing a beat, Tenma followed, putting his hand in hers. “There we go, good job~”

With Kai’s free hand, she pats the top of his head, almost as if she was petting a dog. Tenma leans into the warmth of her hand as it goes down to the back of his ears, to the place where his neck and jaw meet.

“You might be more dog-like than Taichi.” She whispered.

Tenma scoffed. “Don’t ruin the moment, I was having fun until you mentioned Taichi.”

“Aw, is someone jealous?” Kai cooed sweetly and watched Tenma’s ears turn red. “Look, Daichan, Tenma’s ears are red.” She gently pinched Tenma’s left ear, it doesn’t hurt—she was very gentle with his ear.

With the mention of the dog’s name, he politely sat beside Kai and looked at Tenma with a curious glint.

“Argh, don’t stare—!” Being called out by his crush is one thing, being stared at by their family dog is another thing.

A playful glance from Kai is all it took for Tenma to decipher her next move. “Wanna go out?” He knew that she meant it like she was talking to a pup but his heart flutters at the prospect of a date.

A helpless whine left his lips and Kai cracked out a hearty giggle.

“Tenma, your face is all red—“

She will never let him live it down, would she?
