M frowned, watching Tao dump the shopping bag on the counter. “That’s more than soup…” There were some brightly coloured things peeking through the bag.

“Yup!” Tao dug into the bag, pulling out a plastic bone. It was bright purple. “As awesome as I am, even I can’t entertain you fer hours without you getting bored of me, heh. Plus, I’ll end up conking out at some time.”

M frowned at the bone. “I’m not a-”

Tao papped him on the nose with the bone. “Only way to find out is if we try. Plus, werewolf-you is very happy with scritches, so maybe you’ll like toys too! Packed in some chicken as well, heh. No bones.”

M sighed, but didn’t argue any more. He hadn’t hurt Tao in all the months Tao had known about what he was, so everything should be fine.

He hoped.

Tao leaned back on his chair, lifting the legs up off the ground as he waited for M to transform. Shouldn’t be too long now.

At least he’d finally convinced M to transform in his room and without the collar and chain.

There was the tiny shiver in M’s breathing and Tao smiled, counting down.

As he got to zero, he was tackled and he toppled over with a laugh.

M followed him, licking his face, his tail beating against Tao’s leg. “Eveni - pptth!” It was hard to talk in between getting attacked with licks.

“Lemme up, M!”

M backed off, aiming for the shopping bag, snuffling at it.

“You wanna know what I got ya?” Tao said, getting up, M already pawing at the bag. “Ta da!”

Tao pulled out the first thing his fingers came in contact with; it was the purple bone he’d showed M earlier, and maybe that was fate, heh.

He squeezed it, the toy squeaking, and Tao grinned at how M perked up at the sound.

“Catch!” He tossed the bone at M, who tracked it and then lunged.

And bit in half.

Or possibly three pieces.

“Ack!” Tao lunged after M, trying to grab his snout. “Open yer mouth, M!” What if he ate it?

M’s ears flattened and he jerked his snout away from Tao.

“Don’t make me climb you!” M just had to be that much taller than him when he was transformed.

M growled, not moving.

Tao crossed his arms and huffed. Think, think, what to do before M swallowed it and he had to explain why M had a chunk of plastic in his stomach.

Ah-ha! “I’ll give ya chicken.” He batted his eyes at M, sweetening the deal.

M’s ears flattened again as M considered him.

Tao pulled out the tub in his bag, waving it under M’s nose so he could smell it.

With a rumble, M reached for the tub.

Tao snatched it away before M grabbed it. “Ah! Open yer mouth first.”

“Hnnng-” M opened his mouth and the purple piece tumbled out.

Tao opened up the tub and as M dived for the chicken, Tao snatched up the bit of plastic.

Whew. So that was that crisis averted.

“M,” Tao said as M chomped on the chicken. One ear flicked in his direction. “Don’t bite on the toys too hard, okay?”

M swivelled his head to him, his snout splattered with chicken bits. Hm. He was gonna have to clean that up too.

Tao took out a second squeak toy and squeaked it. M’s focused on that. Then Tao tried to squeak a piece of the first one and nothing happened.

M’s ears flattened.

“Be gentle.”

“Hng…” M turned to lick the tub clean and then reached for the second toy.

Tao handed him the toy and M squeezed it. It squeaked. And squeezed it again.

His tail waving slowly, he looked at Tao.

Tao beamed at him. “Yeah, like that!”

“Hng.” M dropped it and snuffled at the tub.

“Huh, you don’t like it?” Or maybe he wanted something to chew, or chase? “I’ve got a buncha other goodies for you to try!”

They had the whole night to figure out what M liked.



Original version of this was:

‘Heeey, M, lookit what I got ya!’

*pounce!* *CRACK*

’…Why, grandma, what strong jaws you ha-’

'aRRRoooOOOOooo!!!!’

M-21 was kinda inconsolable over breaking Tao’s gift, ahaha.
