Lloyd’s tail swings back and forth as Akita squeezes him half to death.
Akita had came running to scoop Lloyd up and give him a piece of her heart. She hasn’t seen him in decades, so of course she’s gonna hug him tighter than he can probably handle.
Her nose was right in Lloyd’s neck, taking in his scent as much as she can before he inevitably has to leave once again.
Lloyd’s face was redder than Kai’s gi as Akita has also picked him up to fully embrace him.
“Oh Lloyd it’s been so long! Too long!” Akita says excitedly as she twirls Lloyd in her arms.
Lloyd giggles at Akita’s actions.
They were in their own world before a loud fake cough forced them both out.
Lloyd had thought it was one of the ninja trying to get stuff done quickly, but instead it was another formling. It definitely wasn’t Akita’s brother, Kataru, as it seems to be an orange fox.
Akita gently dropped Lloyd down and went to the formling.
“Lloyd, this is Beniro. We are to be form-bonded at the next change of leaves.” Akita gushes at the fox formling, Beniro.
“It means we will be formally together!” Beniro cuts in.
Lloyd was taken a bit aback, but he should’ve expected this. He’s been gone for years so it’s not surprising that Akita has moved on. Lloyd wasn’t not happy for her but — Lloyd shakes the thoughts away, he would have plenty of time to be jealous later.
“Oh. Well congratulations. I’m happy for you.” Lloyd tries to sound like he isn’t hurt but even he can hear it in his own voice.
———
Jay had lost Beniro in the fog and some boulders had closed off their path. Lloyd was sort of scared that the boulders had injured Beniro, sure he was in the way of him and Akita but still he’s important to her.
Which when Beniro had found them Lloyd could feel a weight being lifted from his shoulders.
He would asked if Beniro was okay until,
“I thought I lost you in the fog.” He drops down and continues. “Luckily this one’s scent is easy to follow!” He says as he pats Lloyd on the shoulder.
All the worry they had was suddenly gone from the hybrid, in fact he felt a little insulted from that stupid fox.
Lloyd suppress a growl and goes to look for sticks for a fire as they had decided to make camp.
———
The search for sticks were hard as Lloyd’s eyes weren’t made for foggy days, much less foggy nights. He had only found three twigs which was annoying. Lloyd also felt like he was being watched which annoyed him even more.
Suddenly a twig snaps which Lloyd immediately went on the offensive at the intruder.
Lloyd’s hand made it to its neck and went to attack, well before the familiar scent invades his nose.
Lloyd’s hand drops from the creature’s neck and puts them up. “Ack, sorry, sorry thought you were a wild animal!” Lloyd was quick to apologize even if he was mad at the guy they didn’t want to hurt him — at least not physically.
Beniro’s eyes squints before overpowering Lloyd and holding them down to a tree.
Lloyd’s flight or fight immediately kicks in as he goes to restrain Beniro. At least until his nose goes right on the spot Akita was on earlier.
Beniro digs his nose right into Lloyd’s neck. His hand goes to Lloyd’s jaw and forces their head to made more room for him.
Beniro’s tail wags right and left as he fully takes in Lloyd’s scent.
Lloyd’s hands goes to Beniro’s chest, scrunching up his clothes. Even more so when Beniro starts to lap up the sweat that was beginning to form.
Beniro pulls away slightly from Lloyd’s neck which Lloyd takes as a time to say something.
“Beniro what are you—?!” Lloyd is suddenly cut off as Beniro bites down on their neck, hard enough to draw blood.
A whine escapes from the blonde’s mouth. Thankfully Beniro didn’t notice but that didn’t stop Lloyd from half heartedly pushing him back.
“Beniro let go!” Lloyd whines at the fox who was lapping up the blood coming out. Lloyd knows he needs to go back, to return with sticks for the fire.
Beniro seems to be in his own world, biting, licking, and sniffing differently parts of Lloyd’s neck. Lloyd’s own tail starts to wag up and down, making a sort of loud noise.
Beniro, not being too keen of being found, harshly grabs the hybrid’s tail. He tugs on it which foxes out a groan from the man under him.
They’re like this for a little bit. Lloyd starts to squirm under the fox as to signal that they need to either hurry up or stop. Beniro uses his free hand to push Lloyd farther in the tree.
“Stop your squirming, just a few more minutes.” Beniro barks out as he dives back into Lloyd neck. A multi of noises fall from Lloyd’s mouth as Beniro doesn’t let up.
Beniro continues his attack on Lloyd’s neck, he could get addicted to them. He could see why Akita rushed ahead, hell he would too if he had met Lloyd earlier.
He could hear Lloyd but first master was it hard to let up. His hands go to Lloyd’s hips and squeezing it as hard as he can, which forces out a whimper from the taller.
He was hungry for the noises, he wanted to force them out until Lloyd’s throat was raw, to leave him heaving, to do anything he can to keep Lloyd for him and Akita.
Akita would love to force these noises out by herself, maybe she had already done exactly that. Beniro goes farther down, to Lloyd’s chest, than his arm. Their scent was the strongest at their armpits. Beniro moves their arm up and dives into that area.
He holds Lloyd close enough to have his nose fully in their armpit. Thrilled at their scent being the only thing he can smell, thrilled at Lloyd’s expression.
Lloyd truly didn’t know how to feel about Beniro just full on smelling them. Of course Akita did the same thing but she stopped at his neck, she didn’t even bite or lick it. But Beniro was full on taking in his smell, he didn’t understand why. They hadn’t showered since they left the monastery. What made him so interested in his scent.
Lloyd couldn’t believe that Beniro might actually have a thing for musky scents.
“Benrio,” Lloyd decides to try again to get Beniro to stop. “I needed to get these sticks back, pleasse let me go!” Lloyd whines out the last part.
Beniro’s hands go from Lloyd’s hips to his waist and pulls them into a tight hold. Although instead of digging in deeper Beniro does let up, but only for a simple, five word sentence.
“They already have a fire.” Beniro then dives back in and closes his eyes.
Lloyd can think of many more questions for the stupid fox, like, okay well most of the questions he has they can answer it themselves.
Beniro tilts his head up slightly and takes another lick and Lloyd’s clothes.
Lloyd at this point just accepts that he’s going to be here a few. Lloyd does notices that Beniro isn’t really moving anymore. Just sort of lying on him.
His breathing is steady and he’s relaxed. Beniro isn’t attacking his neck anymore, just resting on them.
Lloyd assumes that he’s sleeping. The hybrid shifts and moves Beniro’s head to their shoulder, they hook their arms under Beniro’s and starts toward the campsite.
