you knew it was an accident, you also knew what you were getting into when you got a poisonous snakeboy as a pet. but you can’t forget the look of horror on omi’s face when he realized what he’d done. he had only meant to snap at you, he was petty because you went out without him. he didn’t mean to actually bite you. you had gotten too close.
omi couldn’t forget you sitting in that hospital bed, pale. when you woke up you tried to assure him that you were fine and it was just an accident but omi couldn’t believe you. he had hurt you. he was a bad pet. he hurt you.
when you came back from the hospital, perfectly healthy again, omi didn’t greet you at the door like he usually did.
you had to go seek him out, and found him in the guest room. he had stayed there when you first brought him home, too nervous to be around you. but eventually, he warmed up to you and even became quite clingy so you two slept together in your room. when you came into the guest room, all his stuff was there and your heart broke.
“omi.. why’s all your stuff here?” you asked, and omi looked up at you. his mouth with plump lips that parted into the sweetest smiles when he saw you were covered by a face mask. he looked at you with sad eyes, apologetic eyes.
“i’m gonna stay in the gu- in my room. for now.” he said, and you bit your lip. the look in his eyes was firm despite the obvious sadness. you could not convince him or change his mind. you blinked, smiling sadly.
“okay, omi. take as much time as you need.” you whispered. you turned around and omi fought back the urge to cry and tell you to come back and say he’s so so so so sorry and he’ll spend the rest of his life making it up to you. but he’s terrified. you were pale and ghastly and sick because of him. it was his fault. he had to be punished but he knew your heart was too soft to do so, so he had to punish himself.
it’s been two months since omi moved into the guest room. you barely see him anymore, and when you do his mouth is covered by that damn face mask. you want to rip it off and burn it and stomp it into the ground for hiding your omi’s face from you. but you had to respect his decision. you didn’t want to. you almost grabbed him and forced him to be with you but you knew that would hurt him more. so you were patient.
he wasn’t getting any better though. it was like he was worse than when you first got him. more withdrawn, sad, mopey, dragging his feet and his tail everywhere he went.
after two months, you had decided enough was enough and you were going to get your omi back.
so, you went to a shelter and asked for a dog.
“a friendly one, who can help make another pet more comfortable. oh, and not afraid of snakes.” you said to the shelter woman and she raised a brow at you but nodded.
“we have atsumu here, he’s a clumsy mutt but he’s very friendly and good at bringing other puppies out of their shells.” she said, gesturing to a big golden brown dog with big chocolate eyes who wagged his tail happily. when he shifted he became a handsome man with that same joyful smile and big eyes. he yipped at you happily and almost bowled you over when the shelter woman opened his enclosure.
“he’s perfect, i’ll take him.” you said between atsumu’s furious licks all over your face.
you explained the situation to atsumu in the car on the way home, and his fluffy golden ears flopped sadly.
“that’s so sad that he doesn’t talk anymore! i’ll talk to him and we can be best friends and we’ll all be a big happy family!” atsumu says and you can’t help but smile at his confidence and infectious joy. hopefully, you think, hopefully it will work out.
it’s been 1 week since you brought atsumu home and he has been stuck to omi like white on rice. omi looks aggravated, annoyed even that’s he’s around but you can see that his brows aren’t furrowed as often as they used to be, and the close proximity of someone else is easing his pain.
omi says he hates atsumu, but you can tell he doesn’t. atsumu loves omi, he loves hanging out and napping together and playing games like catch omi’s tail or tag or hide and seek. he brings light to your house that has been dim for some time.
atsumu also helps bridge the relationship between you and omi. you all eat meals together and omi no longer flinches from your movement, he seems actually happy to listen to you and atsumu chatter about your days. you usually work from home, so atsumu and omi will sometimes come into your office, atsumu leading the way. you had some pillows and blankets and dog beds brought into the room, so omi and tsumie can lay down and nap together.
it was that sunday though, when they were both napping when you felt something wrap around your ankle. you looked down and saw that it was omi’s scaled tail. he was fast asleep but his tail was curled around your leg almost protectively. you smiled, leaning down and ruffling both his and tsumie’s hair. they both smiled in their sleep.
the next day, or night actually, was when tsumie finally brought up the big step.
“tonight, all three of us are gonna sleep together!” he cheered, carrying his and omi’s pillows under his arms. for the past week he had been sleeping with omi, and now that they were comfortable with each other and things we’re getting better, he wanted to be a big happy family.
omi looked nervous, afraid even. what if he hurt you and what if you didn’t want to sleep with him ever again or you kicked him out? he couldn’t bare even the thought. he was going to protest when you spoke.
“okay. lets sleep, just the three of us.” you said, eyeing omi nervously. he realized that you were just as anxious as he was. he nodded his head, biting his lip underneath his mask.
when you all laid down, you were in the middle with omi and tsumie on both sides. it was comical, the arrangement. omi was at the edge of the bed, afraid to touch you while tsumie was pressed up against you, rubbing his wet nose on your neck. omi watched with a tingle of jealousy. though he “liked” atsumu, the pup was new. omi had been with you for years yet atsumu was so much more comfortable with you than he was. he watched you ruffle atsumus hair with your soft hands, smiling. you used to do that to his hair. unfair.
wait, why am i so jealous. i was the one who pushed them away, it’s my fault. it’s my fault. omi thought, reminding himself.
“omi?” your voice broke his thoughts, your tone filled with gentleness and warmth. he looked up at you with wide eyes, like a child.
you had your arm stretched out, and nodded your head at him. he stared at your arm for a few seconds, then your face. he tried to find any trace of disgust or falseness in your soft smile, but he found none.
slowly, ever so slowly he crept closer to you, glancing at you ever inch he moved. then, he finally set his head down on your arm, using it as a pillow. his arms were close to his chest but then your hands tangled into his curls. he couldn’t help but shiver. his arms, on instinct, wrapped around your middle, pressing his head into your collarbone. you lay still for a few seconds before sighing in relief, rubbing his scalp with your nails as you pet tsumie’s head on the other side of you.
atsumu was ecstatic, tail wagging happily but he kept quiet as to not disturb the moment. he laid his head on your shoulder, yawning as you all soon fell asleep.
omi took off his mask the next morning just to give you cheek kisses and you could finally see his precious smile again.
all my brain juice ran out so the ending is rushed !! also, will be posting the schedule for fics in a few minutes!!
