those bright crooked stars, man they're howlin’ out
thought you read them all right, had them all figured out

She kicked him! Was all that squirming really worth it??

So he stretched out and tried to bite her, toothless as he was. He even punctuated it with a sharp huff, pointedly scooting in closer to Mom who was NOT kicking people.

Dad tried to reach out for him, but no! He already got his sister, Dad didn't get to just come in like he owns him too and take whatever he wanted. He was sulking probably, but he didn't care. Dad was cool. But Dad could be cool later and just cuddle his sister instead, okay. Leave him alone. The damage was done.

Brazen, Dad called her.

What the fuck! Then that black nose was snaking right in again and helping himself to Mom. No! Nuh-uh. He and Mom are BUSY, couldn't he see? So he growled and gave him more nips as hard as he could, irritated further that they didn't seem to do much good. Didn't really have any effect, actually. Could Dad even feel that??

Now he really was sulking, and he huffed again, ducking his head and curling up tight. Maybe accidentally purposefully kicking Dad a little out of spite and quiet defiance, but he didn't even have the decency to notice.

Whatever.

At least Mom was perfect. She held him still and loved on him without kicking him. Plus, she was that gorgeous blue, and he suited her so well. Like fire red and ice blue, all pressed together and clashing in the most beautiful way. He matched Brazen. They could be an inferno. But he loved this red and blue of him and Mom together.
