Thinking about Dinosaur AU where Gojo is a rare breed of dino so he’s never met another one like him besides his mum - who he’s long been separated from.
Thus, when he comes across a dino that looks similar to him but in a different font, Gojo gets super curious.
So what better thing to do than to observe (in secrecy)?
Cue Dino Gojo hiding behind trees and crouching behind shrubs as he watches this other Dino walk around, eat, and interact with other creatures.
Except Gojo is quite large so he’s just sticking out of the bushes and the other Dino, Geto is like ??
Geto keeps munching on his leaves though cuz he’s hungry. He considers leaving some behind in case this rando dino is also hungry…
When Geto moves to walk away, Gojo trails behind like a smol, lost Dino.
Geto isn’t too pressed about it.
Until the third consecutive day.
In one moment, Gojo watches his new obsession walk across the field, and in the next moment the other Dino disappears!
How could Gojo have lost sight of him so quickly ?
Gojo wanders around around a bit, the tall grass tickling his under belly.
Until suddenly, the Dino he had been coincidentally tailing suddenly pops up in front of him.
Geto had crouched low in the grass and crawled to appear right in front of this Dino Gojo!
Geto makes a rumbly noise. What’s the big idea!? Why are you following me?
Gojo swivels his long neck to look to the side. I’m doing no such thing!
Geto narrows his eyes. He leans in close, so close their noses almost touch.
Gojo sniffs innocently, unmoving.
Why does this Dino have its eyes covered? This sure is a weird dino, Geto concludes.
With a warning growl, Geto turns around and starts walking away. Except ten steps away, he pauses.
Against his better judgement, Geto looks behind him.
The random Dino stays where it was, watching Geto, but upon seeing Geto look back, it sits its rump down and avoids Geto’s gaze.
Geto turns back and take ten more steps.
The other dino is the same distance away, still sat on its rump.
Another ten steps, another look back.
Gojo is even closer, somehow having managed to sneak in fifteen steps after Geto before sitting on his haunches.
Geto’s tail agitatedly swishes behind him. He seems to have picked himself up a stray.
Therefore, Gojo sticks around and Geto decidedly lets him.
Their first night together, they sleep at least five feet apart, large blobs curled into balls with their necks, tails, and limbs neatly tucked in.
Though with each coming night, the distance between them gets smaller, Gojo pushing to see how close he can lay next to Geto.
Gojo shows Geto his own ways of getting the most flavorful leaves, or shows how he likes to roll around in the grass.
This is the first time Gojo is sharing his methods of finding the best leaves. After witnessing Geto happily chew, Gojo decides that his favorite leaves taste best when shared.
They must make quite an image, walking side by side as two massive Dinos of the same rare Dino species.
When Geto feels their tails brush, he nearly freezes. He’s never touched tails with another Dino before…the sensation sends fuzzy vibrations all the way from the tip of this tail to the curve of his snout!
It’s very nice having a companion, he concludes.
But one morning, Geto wakes up alone, no Gojo in sight. He panics, thinking Gojo left him!
Geto makes wailing sounds to see if Gojo will came back. The sight of Gojo stomping back comes a few seconds later. Upon hearing Geto’s distressed noises, Gojo had immediately abandoned chasing butterflies to run back to his friend.
Gojo comes back and makes little whimpering noises. What happened! What’s wrong?
Geto just nuzzles against Gojo’s neck, which Gojo returns, albeit a bit confused.
After a long sigh, Geto meets Gojo’s eyes.
No no no! I would never! Never! he expresses.
Geto still looks a bit worried, so Gojo nuzzles their noses together more insistently.
Geto exhales in relief. He lets out a happy grunt, then nudges Gojo so they're laying down on the ground.
Geto rests his long neck along Gojo's back, igniting their first cuddle session.
Gojo falls asleep that night to the feeling of a warm body nestled against his own.
Both Dinos had to fight to survive. Especially when when they were young, they had accumulated many scars from fending off predators. Now that they’re older and bigger, most predators wont bother approaching them.
But sometimes, a bold, powerful dino will try its luck.
This is how a family of T-Rex find Gojo, alone, as he picks flowers for Geto.
The family quickly surrounds Gojo, who drops the flowers he had been collecting.
Gojo frantically turns in circles, anticipating for the first T-Rex to strike. He usually would’ve been more prepared because he would hear the T-Rex’s steps, but he had been lost in his own world, too focused on the flowers!
Gojo quickly deflects the first few attacks from the T-Rexes. But then, the flowers he had so carefully picked for Geto end up trampled underneath a T-Rex’s foot.
Upon seeing the crushed flowers, Gojo lets out an upset screech. A T-Rex swiftly claws Gojo’s leg, causing him to nearly lose balance and fall over-
Suddenly, a familiar blur of gray and yellow jumps in!
Geto is FURIOUS. HE’S WHIPPING HIS TAIL AND SWINGING HIS NECK AND KICKING HIS HIND LEGS!
HE STANDS IN FRONT OF GOJO AND TAKES ON ANYONE AIMING FOR HIS COMPANION!
Geto may end up with some scratches here and there, but he’ll do anything to protect what’s his!
Gojo quickly regains his footing and tag teams with Geto. After a ferocious battle, they eventually scare the T-Rexes off.
Gojo is ecstatic Geto came to help. He makes a happy yipping sound as he bounds over to Geto with impending zoomies.
But Geto has other plans. Instead, he herds Gojo a ways away, leading them up a hill and to a small burrow.
The flowers, Gojo thinks sadly…
But Geto doesn’t give him too much time to sulk.
With a grunt, Geto makes Gojo lay down as he inspects every part of Gojo, looking over the injuries.
Gojo paws at Geto’s face, rumbling in his chest.
Geto lowers his head and bumps their noses together.
Geto finally settles down next to Gojo, whose tail wags because he’s so, so warm.
Gojo leans his weight against Geto, content to feel the expanse of Geto’s rib cage expand and contract.
Thank you for helping me, he says with a chirp.
I will always help you. We’re together now.
If anyone has links to other fanarts of those Dino Satosugu, I would very much appreciate them because I lost all of them 🥹
