Innocence
Seto swooped down to the entrance of their den and sighed, nose twitching at the scent of blood covering his maw. It was their anniversary, so he'd tried quite hard to get a buffalo big enough to satisfy both he and his mate. He hoped Joey would like it. He wasn't the biggest fan of buffalo, but it was the only animal large enough for both of them to eat and be full.
Stepping further into the den, he couldn't help a loud purr when he found that his children had come to visit. They'd brought their own kits, and it was clear that Joey had appreciated their coming. He'd almost forgotten what true innocence looked like.
It looked like his mate surrounded by dozens of tiny bodies of grandchildren and the larger forms of their parents. He purred, watching as Soji grumbled as one of his kits clawed at his stomach and turned him to face away. Kisara was suckling her kits and dozing as Joey's tail rubbed along her own, something he'd done since she'd been a kit herself. Akai had his head hidden under his wing, and was unconsciously hiding his own kits with it, too.
Joey lifted his head as he advanced further into the den and smiled. "Seto. Look at our babies' babies." He turned his head to look down at them and carefully stroked one of the tiny kit's face with the tip of his claw. "We used to have babies. Look at how grown up they are, Seto. They're beautiful and they made beautiful kits."
Seto dipped his head to set the buffalo on the ground, licking his scaly lips and purring as he leaned over and swiped the younger dragon's black scales with his tongue. "It helps that they had a beautiful mother."
Joey's scales tinted pink in embarrassment. "Oh, Seto, stop it."
The white dragon grasped the carcass of the buffalo in his claws and purred, pushing it forward a little. "Happy anniversary, love."
"Aw, Seto, ya shouldn't have," the black dragon cooed.
Soji lifted his head, blinking blearily. "Buffalo?"
Seto scowled. "How do you do that, you little black hole? This is for your mother and me. Go back to sleep. Go back to sleep this instant."
The younger dragon yawned. "But Dad, I'm hungry."
Kisara came out of her doze and hummed. "Daddy? Did you bring us something?"
"What? No. It's for your mother and me. Go back to sleep."
Joey chuckled as Akai's wing unfurled, blinking tiredly as his nose twitched. "Do I smell buffalo?"
Seto rolled his eyes angrily and threw his wings out. "I GIVE UP!"
Joey heaved himself to his feet and carefully made his way over to him, cautiously avoiding the smaller bodies of his grandchildren. He looked up at his mate and smiled. "It's okay, Seto. Thanks for bringin' it."
"You're welcome." The white dragon wrinkled his nose irritably and huffed. After a moment, he sighed. "…Well, you don't like buffalo anyway. How about these little gluttons—" He fixed their children with a sharp stare. "—Eat the buffalo while we go out to eat?"
"Oh, Dad, you got that buffalo for Mama," Kisara argued, frowning, and promptly slapped Soji in the head with her tail as he began inching toward the dead beast.
Joey snorted in amusement and nuzzled his mate's neck lovingly. "Let's go out. It's been a while since we hunted together."
"That's because the last time we hunted together you slapped my wings so I wouldn't catch a deer before you. I fell into a lake," Seto growled, but reached down to nibble the bases of his wings. "You're awful."
"Aw, Seto. I promise I'll let ya have the first deer," the younger dragon cooed.
"So I can have this buffalo?" Soji asked, creeping toward it again.
Kisara glared at him. "Soji!"
Akai rolled his eyes and sighed, then stood, stretching out to grab the carcass in his maw and drag it around out of his brother's reach. He dropped it and yawned, then promptly covered his head with his wing again.
Soji and Kisara stared.
"…Your brother always was good at makin' you two stop bickering," Joey murmured fondly.
Seto began ushering him out quickly. "Until they both explode at him. Come on, let's go. Before they tackle him. Go. Go."
"YOU THREE WATCH OUT FOR MY GRANDBABIES!" Joey roared before he leapt from the den and spread his wings.
There was a chorus of 'yes mom's before the two heard angry screeches as the three adults left in the den began going after each other.
Seto snorted. "Sometimes I think we should have more kits. But then they wake up and I realize I'm okay with just them."
Joey turned to peer at him and smiled. "Really? I was just thinkin' I'd really like t' have more kits."
"Then we'll have more."
The black dragon stared, brows furrowing together, then paused, hovering in the air. "Seto, ya just said you were okay with only the three of 'em."
Seto turned to face him and tilted his head. "If you want more, we'll have more."
"Seto, what you want is important to me, too!" Joey exclaimed, frowning.
"I've always wanted more kits," the larger dragon replied. "But you said no, and since you're the one carrying the eggs, I respected that. If you could lay the eggs so we could both take care of them equally, I might have argued a little, but you carry them until they're ready to hatch. You were so uncomfortable last time, I didn't want to push you." He smiled. "If you want more kits, I'd be happy. But if you don't want that stress on your body again, I'll understand and be happy with what I have."
The younger dragon swallowed thickly and turned his head away. "I—I got somethin' in my eyes."
Seto flew a little closer to him and carefully swiped his tongue over the black dragon's nose. "I just want you to be happy."
Joey sniffled and looked up at him, then smiled. "Seto, I think I'm ready t' have more now."
The way the white dragon beamed at him helped him to know that that was probably the best anniversary gift he'd ever give to his caring mate.
