Fandou

Woof, woof.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Shameless and greedy dog that Fandou is— if you give him an inch, he'll take a mile.

The moment a hand rubs against his head, he moves to lie on his back. Charcoal eyes expectantly staring up at the man.

[𝇄𝇃周鹤 ┈┈ * 𝒛𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝑒. @inquireres]

Cue a grimace to be made, nose scrunching with disapproval.

“filthy mutt, your snout is all bloody, you’re getting me dirty.”

Yet he makes no attempt to shove him off and, what’s worse, even leans over to pet him.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

RUNNING AWAY SO HE CAN'T TAKE IT FROM HIM

[ɢᴜ ᴍᴀɴɢ (顾茫) @bestialbIue]

FANDOU WHERE DID YOU GET THAT?

[Fandou @_ricebag]

RIPPING APART A HUMAN ARM

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Whoa. Talk about gap moe.

The dog looks up from the bag, maw covered in blood and flesh as beady eyes stare right at the human.

He makes his way toward him, nudging at his leg with his head.

[𝇄𝇃周鹤 ┈┈ * 𝒛𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝑒. @inquireres]

He can’t help but steal a few glances at the dog. His ... fluff looks cute.

“hmph!”

Zhou He looked away.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Eyes following the direction of Zhou He's finger, the dog happily goes to peek into the bag and feast.

(⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)

[𝇄𝇃周鹤 ┈┈ * 𝒛𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝑒. @inquireres]

Pointing towards a bag left conveniently open. He wasn’t expecting the dog’s visit, absolutely not.

Eat your fill.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

As always, Fandou pretends he can't understand a word he's saying, only reply being a happy bark.

How can he not be happy with this much attention being given to him?

[𝑮𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒈. @lonewoxf]

Gu Mang frowned, as he pondered. He had an idea of where Fandou has been wandering off again, and wasn't fond of said idea.

"If you keeping going 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦, I'll have to chain you up. But you don't want that, mh ?"

He said, arms folded across his chest.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Fandou appreciates the head pats. Happy dog.

[ɢᴜ ᴍᴀɴɢ (顾茫) @bestialbIue]

"Good boy!"

Pats his head.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

A bark. That's a word he recognizes.

[𝇄𝇃周鹤 ┈┈ * 𝒛𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝑒. @inquireres]

... you’re hungry again?

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Sitting by his feet. He awaits.

[𝇄𝇃周鹤 ┈┈ * 𝒛𝒉𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝑒. @inquireres]

Sneezes.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

It does lead one to wonder where he got all of that food. And his tendency to randomly ruin the land of the Mo estate's courtyard.

He only gives a small ruff in response, guileless.

[𝑮𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒈. @lonewoxf]

Gu Mang kneeled next to Fandou, fingers sinking into the soft fur as he rubbed the dog's stomach.

"Uhhh. You've gained weight, didn't you ? Have you been stealing food behind my back ?"

[Fandou @_ricebag]

... Looking up at him. A playmate, maybe?

[* ݁‍𝒻𝐨𝐫𝔰͜͡𝚊𝚔𝔢͡𝚗 ꯭丷 @twilightflrish]

You.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Sitting.

[ɢᴜ ᴍᴀɴɢ (顾茫) @bestialbIue]

Sit!

[Fandou @_ricebag]

The dog lies on his back.

The dog knows just what he wants.

[𝑮𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒈. @lonewoxf]

Ruffles his fur.

"Who's a good boy ?"

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Spinning in circles.

[ɢᴜ ᴍᴀɴɢ (顾茫) @bestialbIue]

Pspspspsps

[Fandou @_ricebag]

BARK BARK

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Fandou is happy to stay in bed with him, because a dog has no sense of responsibility whatsoever.

The dog's fluffy fur is practically beckoning for him to stay!

[𝑮𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒈. @lonewoxf]

Buries his face into @_ricebag's fur.

He doesn't want to get out of bed ..

[Fandou @_ricebag]

The dog replies with a bark, spinning around in a circle before knocking his head against his hand.

No need to think too much about giving him anything, all he wants is his company.

[̧ ‍ ‍𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭, ͏ ͏ ͏𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝. @icarianruin]

Scowling down. Then surreptitiously looking left, looking right.

“I remember you.” Alone with the dog, his voice sounds gentler than ever. “But I have nothing for you.”

[Fandou @_ricebag]

@icarianruin

Biting at his sleeves.

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Fandou doesn't budge when Gu Mang buries his face into his fur, ears flattened seeing him so upset.

What can he do to cheer him up?

Is there someone he's supposed to be fighting? Is he hungry?

[𝑮𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒈. @lonewoxf]

"Ah, I'm sorry for scaring you .."

Gu Mang murmured while petting Fandou's head. After a moment of hesitation, he buried his face into his companion's fur, seeking for comfort.

"This is all my fault .. They are all dead because of me .."

[Fandou @_ricebag]

Curled up by Gu Mang's side, he's startled awake by the sudden jolt. Whimpering, he moves closer to him, nudging at his hand with his snout.

This seems to be a regular occurrence for his friend.

[𝑮𝒖 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒈. @lonewoxf]

He jolted awake, sweat pearling on his skin.

Ah, another nightmare ..
