“Heeey, Takeo?”
Takeo knew that tone and he sighed, getting up and going towards the front door. “What did you do?”
“I didn’t do anything!”
Of course not. “You always sound like that when you’ve…” He trailed off, seeing Tao in the doorway, halfway through taking his shoes off.
There was a dog behind him.
Maybe.
“Is that a wolf?”
“A wolf?” Tao scoffed, shaking his head as the canine looked up at him. “Nah. What’d a wolf be doing in the middle of the city? Blowing at houses?” He snickered.
Takeo ignored the joke, still studying the canine. It had silver fur with darker patches in a few places and it was bigger than most dogs he’d seen.
“I figure he’s maybe a wolf-dog or one that’s been bred to look like a wolf. And look!” Tao dropped down, wrapping an arm around the canine’s neck so the canine turned to look at him. “He’s been hurt!”
There was a scar that ran down the right side of the canine’s snout. One that had completely healed and there was no sign of blood. Takeo sighed. “Probably months ago.”
“And if we kick him out, he could be hurt again!”
The dog seemed friendly enough and not feral…
“We’ll have a small trial pe-”
Tao threw himself at Takeo,hugging him. “Thank youuu!”
* * *
The dog was smart, probably had been trained before. He learned after the first time not to steal things from the counter and seemed content to lay on the sofa rather than run about on walks. The collar had stayed on for five minutes before M (named because of the noise Tao had made while trying to think of a name and it had stuck) figured out how to take it off and refused to wear it again.
“Who’s a good boy, huh?” Tao cooed, hiding a snack in a fist while M sat in front of him, tail wagging in anticipation. “Who’s a good boy? It’s you!“
M’s tail wagged harder when Tao offered him the treat and with a small huff, M promptly burst into flames.
Tao yelped, scrambling back and Takeo lunged forward to make sure Tao got out of the way.
“Wh-what the fuck?”
M pounced on the treat and once it was gone, so were the flames. M padded over to them, nosing at Tao. Takeo hissed, seeing Tao lift his hand, but Tao reached over and patted M anyway.
“Not even warm?” Tao said, scruffing M’s fur. “What are you?”
He got a lick in response, and Tao shrugged. “I guess…we should find out what you are?”
“And never give him those treats again.”
Tao gave him a weak laugh. “Definitely.”
Inspired by this prompt by @deepwaterwritingprompts : ‘They sold us the puppy without telling us the breed. It was two before my girlfriend finally googled: Hellhound.’ and @madameazzure‘s remark ‘Takeo and Tao adopting hellhound!M :D
and Takeo being like “Tao… what breed of dog is he?”
“… One that… sets itself on fire when excited???? ^_^”’“
