—battlefields and dungeon muck aplenty. A bit of clutter won't phase me in the slightest. 〞 He glanced down at the houndour with an amused glint in those violet eyes.

〝 Though I'm flattered you consider me 'special.' 〞

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤMessy? Well, Blaidd had seen worse in his travels.

ㅤBesides, he wasn't exactly coming over for the interior decorating.

〝 No worries at all. 〞 The wolf gestured for Tanner to lead the way, falling into step beside him.

〝 I've trudged through blood-soaked—

A faint blush appeared on his cheeks at that, his short tail wagging.

“Just been hitting the gym more. . . And had a lot of baseball games.”

He chuckled, his eyes now soft.

“Now. . . Just follow me and I'll lead us to my apartment. Also heads up. . . Might be a biiiit messy—

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

—more tender underneath.

〝 Making declarations like that in the middle of the street… 〞 His other hand comes up to cup Dae's jaw, tilting that flushed face upward so their gazes lock.

〝 I'm not going anywhere. Not if I can help it. 〞
ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤAwww… look at his cute, little wolf getting all flustered and red-faced!

ㅤDoes Dae even REALIZE how adorable he looks right now with those burning cheeks?

〝 Dae… 〞 The half-wolf's expression softens considerably as he reaches out, taking that offered hand—

" You don't have to apologize for anything , Blaidd. " His ears are perked up, tail swaying softly.

" Two years, three, even a decade. I could wait even a century if it means a promise of seeing you again. "

He extends a hand for the warrior to grab.

"But what matters right--

—and pulling the smaller male closer.

ㅤHis thumb brushes across those knuckles in slow, deliberate strokes.

〝 You've got quite the way with words, you know that? 〞 There's warmth bleeding into his voice now, that gruff exterior cracking to reveal something far—

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

—tail giving a more pronounced wag now.

〝 Though I suppose I could say the same about you… looking rather fine yourself. 〞

ㅤWas he returning the flirtation? Maybe just a little.
ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤOh, there it was already! Tanner really didn't waste any time, did he?

〝 Hah! 〞 Blaidd snickered, a faint blush coloring his cheeks beneath that dark gray fur as he shook his head.

〝 You're shameless as ever, I see. 〞 He laughed a bit more genuinely, his—

[ᴛᴀɴɴᴇʀ @DARKPOK3MON]

“Great! We can drink at my place. . . Bought a full pack.”

Tanner said with a chuckle, crossing his arms as he looked up at the wolf.

“Same here. . . Have you gotten more handsome while you were away?”

He already started to flirt, giving him a toothy grin.

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
—softer than usual, tinged with regret.

〝 Time in the Lands Between flows… differently. What feels like mere weeks to me becomes months—years, apparently—for you. 〞
ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤTwo YEARS?!

ㅤBloody hell, time really does move differently between their worlds, doesn't it?

ㅤThe guilt settles in his chest like a stone.

〝 Two… two YEARS? 〞 His ears flatten slightly against his skull, expression falling into something apologetic.

ㅤ

[대하늘 . @SONG0FPERDITION]

" ... You weren't exactly fair when you disappeared without a word. "

He remains in the half-wolf's grasp for what seems like forever before stepping back. He looks up to get a better look at that handsome face... even if others would agree to disagree.

" To you, it may--

〝 I… I hadn't realized the time difference was THAT stark between our realms. 〞

ㅤHe scratches at the back of his neck, looking genuinely sheepish—a rare sight for the usually composed warrior.

〝 You have my sincerest apologies, Dae. 〞 The words come out—

ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤBlaidd had missed Tanner a lot. A LOT.

〝 Aye, I'd be more than happy to share a few drinks with you. 〞

ㅤA small grin formed across his muzzle, tail swaying just slightly behind him.

〝 'Tis good to see your face again, friend. 〞
ㅤ

[ᴛᴀɴɴᴇʀ @DARKPOK3MON]

It really has. . .

Wanna have a few beers? Missed ya, pup.

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

—to see me, aren't they? 〞
ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤAnd there he goes!

〝 OOF—! 〞

ㅤThe half-wolf staggered back a step or two, arms instinctively wrapping around the smaller frame that collided into him.

ㅤWhat a greeting!

ㅤNot that he minded in the slightest, of course.

〝 Well then! Someone's certainly eager—

[대하늘 . @SONG0FPERDITION]

Time between the Lands Between and this buzzing city. It's quite a lot to go back and forth with.

But his eyes do not deceive him. When he heard that voice asking for directions as if he was a lost passerby...

He ran toward him.

And leapt into his arms.

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
ㅤIt really does, doesn't it?

ㅤTime's a funny thing like that… feels like just yesterday, but also an eternity ago.

ㅤHe's wondering if maybe Dae missed him during his absence.

ㅤHopefully not TOO much though.
ㅤ

[대하늘 . @SONG0FPERDITION]

It feels like forever...

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ... Hm.

ㅤIt's been quite a while, hasn't it?

Null⠀Set⠀∅.

DAE IS OFFICIAL!
After years of writing his story, brainstorming his appearance, I finally got around to making an official appearance for my most involved and beloved OC.
Thank you so much to my close and dear friend, aki for making him come true! 💝

—darting away briefly before returning.

〝 Maybe something with more… give to it? Stretchy stuff works better for warriors with… substantial assets. 〞 His tail swishes behind him, betraying his casual tone.
ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
Blaidd's violet eyes follow Tanner's movements, lingering perhaps a moment too long on those jiggling cheeks.

He crosses his arms over his broad chest, leaning against the nearby wall.

〝 Don't mention it. Happens to the best of us. 〞 He clears his throat, gaze—

The wolf's own arousal grows, pressing against Rubido's body. 〝 No more pretending about flies now, eh? 〞
ㅤ

[𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐃. 🔞 @SHXDOWBOUND]

ㅤ
Blaidd's breath catches, a low growl rumbling through his chest as the panther's warm mouth latches onto his sensitive nipple.

His fingers tighten around Rubido's waist, claws slightly pricking through the fabric. 〝 Mmm… eager little thing, aren't you? 〞

His hand—
