"Heeey, Regis, there you are!"
Regis turned his head at the call. He'd known it was Tao from his voice, but he hadn't expected to see the puppy bunched up in his arms. It wasn't the puppy Raizel-him had brought in – this one was bigger and grey-
And had a pink scar running over the right side of its muzzle.
Ah.
Tao placed M-21 in his lap and Regis sputtered as M-21 wriggled.
"H-hey!" What was Tao doing?
"He's instinctual at the moment," Tao explained, watching them both, "and I've got a couple things I need to finish; I can't keep an eye on him – and he might start chewing on some wires," he added. He then raised a hand, ticking off his fingers.
"Takeo's out, Miss Seira's shopping, he's with the children, and Boss is still at the school."
Tao stopped and leaned forward, grinning. "Sooo, Number 3, are you able to take on this mission?"
"Don't call me that," Regis grumbled, looking down at M-21, who was staring up at him, his ears pricked towards him. "I'll do it." He had finished doing his homework for the night so he had free time.
"Great!" Tao beamed at him and clapped him on the shoulder. "I should be finished soon so you won't have that long to wait if he's being a handful."
"I can handle him," Regis said, sniffing.
"Okay, be back soon!"
Regis squawked when Tao ruffled his hair but he was gone before Regis could do anything.
M-21 was still staring up at him, his head tilted.
…What was he supposed to do with him? Tao had said to keep an eye on him, and for the moment, that seemed easy.
There was movement from the corner of his eyes and when Regis looked up, the puppy was there in front of them, a bright ball at his feet. M-21 must have seen him at the same time, hopping off Regis' lap to land in front of the puppy.
M-21 was bigger and stockier than the puppy, to where the puppy could almost fit under his legs when they were both standing. They sniffed each other, their tails wagging slowly. When the puppy turned to Regis, M-21 did the same, looking between the two of them.
Then the puppy went down onto his front forelegs, his hindlegs still straight. Regis had seen the puppy do that a few times with M-21 and Tao but he hadn't been able to ask if they knew what it meant at the time.
M-21 was looking at the puppy as well, still standing upright. M-21 and the puppy exchanged glances, the puppy whining and wriggling closer towards Regis' feet. Regis didn't know what that meant, but after looking between Regis and the puppy one last time, M-21 also dropped to his front forelimbs, pointing himself towards Regis.
…It looked like they were bowing towards him.
It was a good thing Tao had left, or Regis knew he would have been taking pictures of the three of them.
The puppy whined again, wriggling forward, lifting a paw up to tap the ball still at Regis' feet.
Ah, that's what he wanted him to do.
"Very well." Regis kicked the ball, sending the ball flying over M-21 and the puppy's heads.
The puppy bounded to his feet with a bark, chasing the ball; M-21 stayed in place, watching the ball but didn't move.
The puppy followed the ball over half the room but then stopped, looking over his shoulder at M-21. He barked and M-21's ears twitched in his direction. Then he whined and padded over to M-21's side again, pawing at his side.
M-21 made a rumbling questioning growl and the puppy nudged him with his forehead. M-21 seemed to understand what he was saying and stood up, following after the puppy.
The puppy found the ball first (it looked like M-21 was only following the puppy and watching for potential attackers while the puppy searched for the ball) and with the ball in his mouth, raced back to Regis' side.
When both of them were back in front of Regis, the puppy dropped in front of him and M-21 and the puppy bowed in front of him again.
He flicked the ball up like he'd seen Shinwoo do numerous times and watched the puppy chase after it, M-21 trotting behind.
The next time Regis did it, his eyes widened when he saw the ball land in the kitchen area, where there was more breakable stuff there. Nothing had fallen over or gotten broken, but next time, he made sure to keep the ball roll over the floor, not kicking it too hard.
They did that multiple times, the puppy always the one to find and bring back the ball.
Until M-21 found the ball first and…snuffled, drawing the puppy's attention. M-21 rolled the ball over with a paw when the puppy padded over.
Who flattening his ears, and nudged the ball back to M-21 with his nose.
M-21 looked at the ball and then at Regis. Shaking his head, M-21 picked up the ball between his teeth and came over to set the ball at Regis' feet.
The puppy hadn't followed, sitting down and yawning, his tongue lolling out.
When M-21 saw that, he went over and started to herd the puppy towards his basket. The puppy made a grumbling sound but trotted over to his basket, M-21 following.
The two seemed to have a conversation, the puppy licking M-21's muzzle. M-21 huffed, nipping at an ear before he curled up into the puppy's basket, the puppy hopping in after him and snuggling up against him.
…If M-21 transformed back while the two were like that… Should he pick M-21 up?
"Sooo… How were they?" Tao leaned on top of the sofa over where Regis was sitting.
He nodded towards the pair. "They played with a ball."
"Aww, that's kinda – that's even cuter."
Click.
"Should we move him?" Regis asked. Raizel-nim could be returning with the children as well soon.
"Hmm, yup!" Tao walked over to the basket and M-21 raised his head, his tail thumping slightly as he wagged it. "I've got a couple of toys you can play with!"
Tao threw a grin at Regis as he walked past. "You can come if you want."
Regis considered it for a second and then nodded, standing up. Just in the least to make sure Tao didn't do anything embarrassing to M-21 while he was like this.
