victor’s eyes were set upon makkachin very carefully, trying to concentrate on every slight movement of his body and each flicker in the other’s eyes. he knew that his companion had gone with him everywhere, but he also knew that he hadn’t had much freedom in his life. that was how it was, unfortunately. but knowing that makkachin could have freedom now brought a shimmer to the russian’s eyes.

          the response he got from makkachin didn’t surprise him. it made sense, and the sound of it made victor very happy. makkachin made him very happy. his makki. while the thought made him content, he very much wanted his companion to learn the concept of independence. that would take time, though, and he was willing to take that time with his best friend.

          a warm, fond smile came to his face at that, and he quickly wrapped his arms around the other. he’d cuddled up to the other so many times in his life that it just felt so welcoming; and so comforting. it would never get old.

          ❝  nothing will change, makki. i’ll always be here! ❞ 
he assured sweetly, pressing a relaxed kiss to the other’s head.
          ❝  i’d like to teach you about the world, everything you
              don’t know and haven’t experienced. would you like that? ❞
victor pulled back to watch for the other’s reaction, a hopeful glint flashing in his bright eyes.
