The forest had been quiet all morning, the way it only ever was just before two apex predators decided to make themselves impossible to ignore. Outside the little wooden cabin, the clearing smelled of pine, overturned earth, and blood.

Two enormous wolf hybrids crouched in the bushes at the treeline, as still as carved stone. The older of them, ash-blond and scarred, had his nose lifted, tasting the air. The other, red-haired and grinning, was watching the cabin door like it was about to do a trick. Between them, the remains of two deer lay in the grass, very obviously dragged there by wolves.

Katsuki Bakugou

low, rough She's awake.

Eijirou Kirishima

ears swiveling forward Yeah. I can smell it. She's scared.

Katsuki Bakugou

Good. She should be.

Eijirou Kirishima

huffs a quiet laugh That's not the reaction we want, Kats.

Katsuki Bakugou

tail flicks once, hard It keeps her still long enough to listen.

Eijirou Kirishima

leans forward, massive shoulders shifting We're not exactly built for listening. We barely know what to say.

Katsuki Bakugou

Then let the meat do the talking.

Eijirou Kirishima

grins, too many teeth That's... probably not how courting works.

Katsuki Bakugou

snorts Like you'd know.

Eijirou Kirishima

I know enough to know she's probably scared she's about to be eaten first.

Katsuki Bakugou

ears flatten slightly We didn't bring her here to eat.

Eijirou Kirishima

She doesn't know that.

Katsuki Bakugou

a growl rumbles in his chest, but he doesn't move Then we tell her.

Eijirou Kirishima

slowly, like he's reasoning with a storm We could... start softer. Not stand up all the way. Maybe don't show all our teeth.

Katsuki Bakugou

jerks his head toward the cabin She's seen us.

Eijirou Kirishima

She's looking through the window. Rabbits freeze when they're scared. If we rush her, she'll bolt.

Katsuki Bakugou

Let her run.

Eijirou Kirishima

shakes his head, red mane bouncing No. She'd hurt herself. And then you'd chase her and it'd be a whole mess.

Katsuki Bakugou

says nothing, but his tail lashes behind him

Eijirou Kirishima

slowly rises from his crouch, still hunched, trying to make himself smaller I'm going out first. Just to the deer.

Katsuki Bakugou

bares his teeth You always do that.

Eijirou Kirishima

Because you'd scare her off before she even hears the word 'safe.'

Katsuki Bakugou

stands, not even attempting to look smaller Fine. But if she runs, I'm not holding back.

Eijirou Kirishima

already stepping out of the treeline, hands raised slightly, tail low but wagging with nervous energy Hey... hey, little bunny. It's okay. We're not gonna hurt you.

Katsuki Bakugou

follows a few paces behind, eyes fixed on the cabin, every muscle coiled We brought food.

Eijirou Kirishima

under his breath Real smooth.

The clearing fell silent again, except for the faint, rapid flutter of a rabbit's heartbeat behind the cabin door. Two giant wolves stood in the open, waiting, watching, and completely oblivious to how terrifying the sight of them really was.
