[O] Warming by the fire

Tuzik replied with a loud yap, pouncing onto the Fallen's back and trying to free his puppy comrade.

Belial couldn't resist chuckling, how odd it was to have a hell hound on his back, playing of all things, it was definitely a rarity to see.

He yanked harder on the ball, not hard enough to tear it from the man's teeth but enough to make this a fair match.

Coilean growled, pushing at Belial's chest.

He didn't want to lose his ball. It was his ball!

The Irishman writhed under his Master, grinning widely around the ball when Tuz pounced onto his back.

Against the two of them, Belial couldn't win. They'd get his ball back.

Belial couldn't be over powered by these two but he played along, falling onto his back as Tuzik pulled onto his shoulders, his grip on the ball loosening enough for Coilean to get free.

Having his pup look so happy and having so much fun warmed his heart, he loved to see him like this.

Coilean had definitely changed so much in the short time they had been together.

Coilean darted away when Belial's grip loosened on the ball.

He won!

He had the ball. His ball. He got the ball from Belial. He won the ball. He won!!

The Lycan rolled onto his back, looking up at Belial upside down with a lopsided grin on his lips as he let the ball drop next to his head.

He won.

Belial laughed haughtily as Coilean looked up at him with that grin, his pup was such a dork.

Tuzik took his friends short lived victory to his advantage, swiping the ball as it fell from the man's mouth before darting off on all fours, chewing on it happily.

"Well, looks like its his ball now."

Belial teased with a smirk.

Not even a beat passed before Coilean was up and running after Tuzik.

He barked as he ran as fast as he could after the Hound. He wasn't losing his ball. Not to Tuzik.

Lean pounced, determined to slow Tuz down, even if it meant being dragged along the ground after him.

He barked a couple more times as he clung to the Hound's back.

Tuzik ran excitedly on all fours, bounding as his hands and feet thudded heavily against the ground.

Coilean barely managed to pounce onto him, rolling off of his backside as Tuzik skidded around and darted in the other direction.

Playing chase was his favourite.

Coilean gave a huff of annoyance when he slid off Tuz.

It only took a moment to catch himself before he was bounding off again after Tuzik.

He was determined to win this.

He gave a yap when he passed Belial, pleading for the Fallen to help him.

Coilean had no allegiances. If one could help him defeat the other, he'd team up with them.

"I'm not helping you, traitor."

He Fallen replied with a chuckle, he would let Coilean fight his own battles, especially since he didn't have any loyalty to him.

Tuzik growled happily as he was chased, darting around the garden with a large grin on his face.

The Lycan whimpered softly, looking up at his Master with the expression of a kicked puppy.

Belial wasn't helping him?

That was mean.

The kick puppy act only lasted for a few minutes before he bounced off again to catch Tuzik.

He wanted his ball!

Tuzik rolled onto his back as gave a contented whine as he chewed on the ball, pawing at his with his hands happily.

If Coilean wanted it back he would have to take it off of him, he liked this ball, it was Tuz's ball now.

If he was in hound form the man's tail would be wagging frantically.

Coilean jumped at Tuzik, teeth clamping down on his ball and tugging.

His head snapped form side to side and he tried to pull the ball from Tuzik's mouth. His ball.

His body was buzzing with excitement.

He was having so much fun playing with Tuzik and Belial.

Would Belial play with him and Tuzik again in the future?

He finally tore his ball from Tuzik and padded odd, dropping it at Belial's feet and waiting.

Tuzik gave a loud whine as the ball was stolen off of him, no fair, he had only just go it.

Belial leaned down, stroking the man's head softly before picking up the ball and tossing it quite a good distance away.

At least this was ensuring his pet got all the exercise he needed.

Lean bounded after the ball when Belial threw it.

Fetch was a fun game. Whenever Belial had the time, he played a good game of fetch with him. It had quickly become Coilean's favourite thing to do when he had Belial's attention.

He skidded across the ground, smearing mud over his side and cheek as he picked up the ball.

Lean returned to Belial's feet, dropping the ball again.

Tuzik quickly decided that he wanted to join in as well as well and as Belial tossed the ball for the second time he bolted after it as well, trying to beat Coilean to the prize.

"He is going to steal your ball Coilean, best beat him, I wont buy you other one if you get them stolen."

He muttered, that would light a fire under the Lycan's ass.

The Lycan whimpered pathetically and sprinted after Tuzik.

He didn't want to go without a ball. If he didn't have a ball, he wouldn't get to play his favourite game with Belial. He didn't want that. He loved playing with Belial.

Coilean crashed into Tuzik with a yelp then scrambled to find his ball before the Hound could.

Tuz couldn't steal it from him.

Tuzik yelped loudly as he was balled over, tumbling against the grass before shaking off with a huff before bounding after Coilean.

Belial laughed loudly as he watched the two of them, Gods, they were amusing to watch.

"Good boy, Coilean!"

He called out to his dog, petting his knees for the man to run over to him.

Coilean bounded up to Belial, dropping the ball and lapping at his face.

He yapped excitedly as he nuzzled against Belial, drenching his neck and chin in drool with each lick.

It had been a while since he had last been able to play with Belial like this.

He was excited to spend his time with Belial.

"Such a good boy."

He purred, hugging the dog in against his chest and stroking him firmly, pressing a kiss to the top of his head.

The Fallen really did like seeing the man like this, so happy and relaxed, openly showing his affection.

Coilean bowled his Master over, continuing to bathe the skin of his face neck and any part of his chest that he could get to under the neckline of his shirt in drool.

He loved being able to show his affection like this.

The mud clinging to Coilean's skin smeared over Belial's clothing as he writhed in his lap.

He just wanted to give Belial lots of his attention.

"Come here you."

He muttered, dragging the pup on top of him, hugging him tightly.

The Fallen didn't give two shits about his clothing, mud, saliva, it didn't bother him at all, he just wanted his pup's affection.

"I'll have to give you a bath tonight."

He couldn't get enough of Belial's attention.

Even as the Fallen hugged him, he pressed closer to him, writhing and purring and whining as he licked and nipped at him.

It was times like this with Belial that he cherished.

Belial could be strict and he could be distant. He was used to that. He was also used to Zakhar getting a lot of Belial's attention. The moments he got to spend with Belial alone were the most precious moments he had.

Belial smiled brightly as he pressed a kiss to the man's nose.

"So affectionate, you love me don't you Coilean?"

He asked the pup, stroking his back slowly as he held him close.

"Love you too."

He added, pressing another kiss to the crown of his head.

He yapped happily in reply.

Yes, he loved him. After all that had happened, he did love the man. He couldn't picture life without him now.

His over-excited jumping around trying to drown the Fallen in saliva calmed and he laid contentedly in Belial's lap, cuddling the man.

He really did love him.

Belial's smile softened as Coilean calmed down, his hand stroking through the man's hair affectionately, pulling it free from its pony tail as he ran a hand through its entire length.

"I think I'll give you a treat when we go back inside."

He mused, the pup had been behaving so well lately, he deserved it.
