[O] Lovesick Pup

Alyosha laughed as Tuzik tried to squirm away from him.

"I win, Tuz?" he chuckled with a grin. "Does Alyosha win?" He wanted to hear that he won from Tuzik's own mouth. It was so rare that it ever happened.

Coilean grinned widely when Silt tugged him onto his back.

He writhed against the ground, making his tail jerk and wag.

Play fighting was always a lot of fun.

Tuzik laughed, an odd sounds for the hound to make but he couldn't help it as he squirmed about, his eyes watering from the tickling at his sides.

"Aloysha!"

He yelped.

"You wins, you wins."

He added, trying to paw the man away as he writhed in a fit of chuckles.

Silt grinned as Coilean wagged his tail, pinning the pup down by sitting on him before assaulting his face with an onslaught of kisses.

The Russian man laughed at the Hound's defeat, letting go of Tuz.

He sat back, chuckling to himself as he brushed his long hair out of his face. It was getting quite long now. He hadn't cut it at all since he had moved out of Moscow.

Nine years had seen a lot of length grow to it. Hair that had once just brushed his collarbone was now hanging down to below his hips.

He tugged at a long strand, considering cutting some length from it. Maybe taking it up to his chest again.

But...

Coilean gave pleased little yaps when his face was kissed.

Tuzik whined and leaned up against Lyo, licking the man's cheek affectionately as he sat there, happily butt naked.

Silt laughed and moved off of Coilean, running a hand through his hair as he patted his own lap, inviting the pup to come and sit on him.

He always enjoyed having Lean in his lap just to pet and cuddle with.

Lyo wrapped an arm around Tuz, dragging himself back to the here and now, just taking comfort in the feel of Tuzik's warm body against his own.

He'd hardly noticed up until now, but Tuzik was about the same height and had a similar build to...

No. He needed to stop torturing himself.

Coilean curled up happily in Silt's lap, content to believe himself a little lap dog.

"I dont think food would have burnt." He'd almost forgotten about the food on the grill, but Lyo's nose told him it was cooking well.

Canines were good at picking up on emotion and as Lyo began to dwell Tuzik leaned up and pressed a soft kiss to the man's cheek, hoping to comfort him.

At the mention of food the Hound's stomach growled, the smell of the meat making him purr in delight.

"Shit."

Silt muttered, looking up on the grill, luckily it was on a low heat and one side of the meat had just browned nicely.

He reached up awkwardly from his spot on the floor and flipped the steaks, his free hand idly running through Coilean's hair.

"They'll be a few minutes."

Lyo nuzzled closer to Tuz when the Hound kissed him.

He was glad he had the Hound around to cuddle him when he had moments of feeling down.

The Rus laughed when Silt cursed.

"You forget about much when pup decides it's play time, huh?" Play time always meant put down everything you're doing and give me your undivided attention. Even if what you were doing was important stuff like food.

Tuzik would always be there for Lyo, he cared a lot for the man so he wanted to help him in any way he could.

"Yeah, I've burnt more than one meal and flooded the bath a few times because Coilean has decided that it's time to play."

Not that it mattered, things like that could be fixed easily enough.

"No need to talk to me about flooding the bath because pup wants to play instead."

Alyosha quirked a brow at Tuzik.

Tuz had used play time to get out of bath time plenty of times before. He couldn't count how many times he had flooded the bathroom.

He ruffled up Tuzik's hair.

Tuzik gave a pouty whine as Lyo looked at him.

It wasn't hid fault, baths weren't any fun but playing was a lot of fun so play time was far more important that bathing.

"I wonder what it is about baths that he doesn't like, you could always try putting him in the bath with Coilean, maybe some of his enjoyment will rub off of Tuz and it wont be so opposed to it."

Trying to was a dog that didn't want to be washed must have been quite difficult.

"I may very well take you up on that offer."

Lyo tugged Tuzik's long red hair, on the rougher side of playful. Not hard enough to hut Tuz, though. It took a lot to hurt the pup. A little hair pulling wasn't going to make him whimper and whine.

"It would be nice to see him enjoy bath time."

He hadn't once seen Tuzik enjoy bath time.

Tuz just gave a cheeky grin as his hair was tugged, wheeling around to sit in Lyo's lap and cuddle up against the man.

He rested his head on the man's shoulder and licked at his neck.

"Well we can give it a go before you guys leave if you want, our tub is pretty big and after they finish playing they'll be plenty dirty."

Silt carefully got up, sliding Lean out of his lap as he checked on the meat.

"Looks like it's time to eat."

"Coilean looks plenty dirty already."

Coilean was covered in mud and in the process had covered Silt's clothes with mud. The pup had been rolling around in dirt and mud all day.

Lyo nudged Tuzik out of his lap when Silt said it was dinner time.

Tuz could get quite fierce with meat come dinner time and he didn't want to deal with little growls whenever he twitched himself. So close to Tuzik's food, he'd probably be seen as a threat; any twitch meant he was going to steal Tuzik's dinner.

Tuzik slid out of Lyo's lap easily, his gaze looking up at Silt as the man pulled the meat off of the grill.

A whine sounded as the hound licked his lips, eager for a big feed.

"How does Tuz normally eat his dinner?"

He asked as he padded inside quickly to grab Coilean's dog bowl, he had a spare one that he used when the other was dirty if the Hound needed one.

"Usually at a table with cutlery."

He was trying to teach the Hound to function in the body he used most often.

Lyo shrugged carelessly. He didn't feel like enforcing it today.

"He can just eat off a plate."

"Really? You've got him that far?"

He was impressed, you rarely saw hounds able to function in their human form let alone be trained enough to use cutlery and sit at a table.

"You wanna cut it up for him?"

He asked placing two large steaks on the plate for Tuz, handing Lyo a plate so he could gather up his own food, he had made some pasta salad to go with the steak, well really Demir had made it and brought it over yesterday but there was heaps left over.

Silt got to work cutting up Coilean's meat into manageable chunks before scooping it into his bowl along with some pasta.

"Lean, hair."

He called, pulling a hair tie from around his wrist, he always tied up Coilean's hair so he could eat with out it getting in the way.

"He can have fun ripping it to shreds."

He knew Tuzik would enjoy the chance to go feral on a piece of meat. He always tried when he got fed meat at home. Why not be nice and let him have his chance without ripping into him for it?

Coilean whined and pressed against SIlt's legs as the steak was cut up for him, whimpering loudly as he pressed his cheek to Silt's thigh.

"You wanna tear it up too?"

He asked as Coilean whimpered, shaking his head with a chuckle as he tipped the cut up meat onto his own plate and gave Coilean the whole steak instead.

Leaning down he quickly tied up Coilean's hair into a tight bun.

"Here you go."

He muttered, placing his bowl onto the floor so Coilean could eat.

Coilean writhed impatiently when Silt tied up his hair.

No sooner was it tied up that he dove at his bowl, licking the steak for a moment before biting into it.

His sharp teeth made short work of the meat, tearing into it eagerly.

A pleased purr sounded as he chewed contentedly.

Silt gave a chuckle as Coilean dug into his meal, no doubt he would be whining for seconds soon.

He grabbed his own meal and sat at the outside table, eagerly eating.

Tuzik whined, shuffling impatiently as he looked up at Lyo, waiting for his food next.

"Oh, you want dinner, do you?"

He had just been about to set the steak down on the floor for Tz=uz, but now he just grinned and held onto it.

"I don't know... the steak looks very good. I think I might want it for myself..."

Lyo played this cruel game on his all too often, he found something that Tuz wanted really badly and threatened to keep it for himself.

Tuzik whined even louder as his stomach growled again, pawing at Lyo's leg as he looked up at him as if his Master had just kicked him.

"Alyosha, please..."

He whimpered.

The whimpering look was adorable.

He ruffled Tuz's hair and set the plate down on the floor for him.

"Try not to get too dirty."

God knows the bath was going to be difficult enough without Tuz actually being so dirty he needed to be held down and scrubbed within an inch of his life.

Tuzik gave an excited yelp as his food was put on the floor where he could just bite into it instead of struggling through eating with a fork and knife.

Lyo's wish for him not to get too dirty wouldn't be fulfilled as he tore into the large piece of meat, the ends of his hair getting into the juiced as he pushed the meat around the plate, tearing chunks off of it.

Lyo sighed and shook his head as he leant against the chair he was sitting on earlier.

He'd never have a clean Hound.

He would just have to resign himself to having to deal with Tuzik's ability to make mess out of nothing.

Coilean was all but done with his steak by the time Tuzik had taken his first few bites.

He sidled up to Silt and plopped down in front of him, looking up at the Demon with wide eyes. A long whimper came from deep in his chest.
