- Hello there everyone! It has been a while since I last posted something here and even longer since I drew anything bitty related, so I decided to change that! So here is Ethan and Calix reuniting with their brothers, Buddy and Rio! (Cookies to anyone who remembers this!)
- Of course the first drawing I had to do was the sweet (and in the case with Calix and Rio, hillarious and squak-filled) moment that the two brother pairs shared! And of course, remembering this moment, Lyel has been asking about visiting a certain Loaf so... Perhaps in the future there will be one more bitty around the center...
- Alpha, Howler, Sly and Floof bitties are from @wonderland-isles and if you don’t know about them, you should check them out for sure!
- Hello! I decided I wanted to write a small story for two of my bitties, to be specific I wanted to show when Rio the Floof and Buddy the Howler arrived at the center for the first time, as well as show what Rio gets up to when he’s not doing what he can to keep Calix in line! I’ll be sharing more of these stories in the future if you guys like them! For now, here you are!
Summary: Buddy and Rio have come to the center after being adopted! Buddy seems content with just lying about but Rio makes a discovery and decides he’s found his place at the center…
Demure hadn’t been kidding when he said they should just let Rio tire himself out along the road home. Ethan and Dawn were both shaking their heads all the way from the isle to the center while Calix was being scolded, screeched at and bapped multiple times with the pair of glittering wings. Someone was making up for the time he’d been away from his brother!
Unlocking the back door they all first went into the nursery where Lyel put away the items they’d gotten from the ever helpful Demure, already sorting and putting things in their proper places as he went along, while Dawn motioned for Ethan and Calix to keep moving into the main part of the center. They had two new bitties to show around after all!
The wolf-hybrid had already made a mental note to show off the pillow room last, and it was a good thing she did. The second the excited Howler saw the room he jumped from Ethan’s arm along with the squeaky toy and settled into a few pillows, out like a light. Ethan just shook his head while Dawn chuckled. “Guess someone was a lot more exhausted from everything. Let’s just leave him here for now, you can show him the rest later Ethan.” She told the Alpha who nodded his head, trying not to smile too widely as she gently scratched him behind the ear.
Rio, of course, had stopped lecturing his brother when Dawn had started showing off the place, instead asking a few questions here and there. And of course he hadn’t missed how there were a few winged bitties up closer to the ceiling that had been keeping their eyes on him all this time. So when they left the pillow room with Buddy left behind - and slowly being covered in other bitties who seemed to love having a new nap buddy (urgh, a pun for a name, how horrid) - he decided to ask about them.
“Oh! Those are Melody bitties! We adopt them out here at the shop!” Dawn explains before whistling lightly. A good few of the Melody bitties react instantly, coming down to either perch on her horns or her arm - depending on their size - he even notices that one of them has a shirt that says ‘Little helper’ on. That one must be a permanent resident here.
The feathered bitties all start chirping at him happily, a few of them looking in awe at his feathers but of course they would - his feathers are absolutely gorgeous after all! He takes good care of them! He listens as Dawn tells him about the bitties, Mel who is Dawn’s own Melody even showing off when Dawn tells anything about them, and he listens intently. Especially when she tells him one thing. They can get stressed out.
“What happens if they get too stressed?”
Dawn smiles sadly before telling Calix to wait in the center as the Melody bitties flies back to the perches they’d been on. Rio is surprised when his brother just nods, not even making a flirty comment. Something must be up. He gets down from his brother’s arms and follows as Dawn heads back out to the outside, turning over to an area of the back where there’s a lot of tall bushes keeping something from view. He quickly learns what that is.
In front of him are two large aviaries, one with a lot of room but many perches as well as a padded flooring for any accidental falling, a few Melody bitties gliding between the perches at the very back of the enclosure, looking at the two of them nervously. But it’s the other one that catches his attention more. The floor is padded too, but there’s a lot more perches in here as well as ladders going up and down along some ramps. There aren’t as many bitties in this enclosure as far as he can see, but there’s a few that he notices right away… And they break his soul.
It’s clear they’ve had it rough in life, he can see that clear as day with the scars and cracks on the bitties. But it’s also how they hold themselves. They curl up, hiding away in their wings as much as possible, even the ones who are missing a big portion of feathers from their wings. They also seem to be shaking a lot where they sit - besides one who’s outright glaring at him - but that’s not the biggest thing that clues him in.
They’re silent. All of them.
There’s no chirping or singing.
They’re all birds, harpies, Dawn told him they love music and singing.
But they’re all dead quiet.
“These are all Melody bitties who have gotten back to me, either rescued from a situation… Or turned in by owners who couldn’t handle them despite my many warnings about how they are.” Dawn tells him, making him turn his head to her. “It’s just like parrots, sadly… I know many parrot lovers who share similar stories; people get the birds because of the pretty feathers and wanting them to say stuff… But they don’t realize how much work having one takes. Melodies may be sentient and capable of doing a lot of things on their own, but they’re still bitties and rely on the souls who take them in. A lot of the time this is forgotten though and… Well, I don’t think I have to say too much else on that front.”
She doesn’t have to say anything else indeed. He moves with her as she walks away, but he looks back over his shoulder after a bit and sees that most of the bitties in there was looking at him as the two of them were walking away, a look in their eyes that got him to make up his mind.
The next couple of days were spent getting used to the routine at the center now that they are part of the family there, as well as getting to know all the bitties that Dawn owns. Seriously, one of the rooms in her apartment is a small village for the bitties there! She has no control over how many she’s getting! But of course he can also see that none of them are without love. Dawn takes her time to give everyone attention as needed. He’s impressed.
But on top of all that, he takes time to go back to the aviaries and spend time there, either just sitting there on the bad days or talking and singing to the bitties in there on the better days. He’s happy one day when one of the Melody bitties - who has no feathers at all and instead wears a thick sweater to keep warm - decides to come down and sing with him, only the netting of the aviary being between him and reaching up to gently pet her. He still holds his hand up to her and lets the smaller bitty lean towards it, taking comfort in the act.
It’s on one of the better days that Dawn catches him there, having come out to feed and spend time with the bitties back here. The two of them look at each other for a long while, Dawn with surprise and Rio a little guarded. But of course, there was no reason to be so. But it did cause an interesting reaction as the featherless Melody jumps down and starts chirping away at Dawn, defending the fact that he’s there!
Dawn recovers after a bit and chuckles, smiling brightly at the two of them. “So this is where you’ve been disappearing off to Rio? Have you been spending time with these Melody bitties all along?”
“.... Yes,” he carefully says, “I’ve been back here to just… Talk to them or sing when they’ll let me. When… When you took me back here the first time to see them… I didn’t like the silence!”
He stands up from sitting down, getting closer to Dawn as his feathers floof up in agitation. But not at Dawn or the other bitties.
“They are all Melody bitties, their name even says they should be signing to the heavens as they so want to. They should be loud like they want to, but they’re all silent. They should be proud of their looks, but they shy away and hide. They are all wonderful souls, but their eyes tell me they don’t see it anymore. They need to be shown just how wonderful they are, how amazing their voices are when they sing… And how strong they are for being here even after what happened to them ....”
All while he was going off, Dawn had just been standing there, watching him. Once he’s done, Rio jumps a little as Dawn pets him on the skull, looking at her in confusion.
“Rio… How about you become the main caretaker of these guys? I can tell you want to help them recover and I think you’ve been doing a wonderful job so far.”
At his confused expression, she motions to the aviaries where - once he turns and looks - he sees that not only the featherless one, but also the smaller twins and the Melody who’s wing is still recovering from breaking have all gotten closer, all of them looking to him with a new look in their eyes…
Wonder.
And a hint of happiness.
He turns his eyes back to Dawn, his feathers floof up this time in pride.
Lyel the Pawpyrus, Ethan the Alpha, Buddy the Howler, Calix the Sly and Rio the Floof are all bitties from @wonderland-isles and you should check them out!
I don’t really ship Dethan. I love Danny and I really liked the idea of Ethan, but Jeff butchered that ship. But anyways! I hope this doesn’t suck.
Who is louder?
Danny. Ethan, apart for the occasional grunt, is creepily quiet. It’s not like he’s holding back, either, he just doesn’t make much sound. He’s probably used to everyone around him having super-hearing.
Who is more experimental?
Ethan. Toys, ropes, blindfolds… he loves that stuff.
Who takes more risks?
Danny. He has this obsession, actually, with having sex in Ethan’s apartment while Aiden is there.
Do they fuck or make love?
At first Ethan was trying to learn how to be a good guy, so he kind of went slow and gentle, because he though that was, like, the nice thing to do, until Danny asked him to please fuck him already, “like you really mean it.”
Lights on or off?
They like leaving the lamp on Danny’s bedside table on.
Who is more likely to be caught masturbating?
Danny. Ethan has like a radar, he manages to always text or call Danny whenever he’s having some alone time.
Who is more likely to suggest a threesome?
Neither. Danny would never have a threesome with his boyfriend, it always end up biting you in the ass. Ethan doesn’t like to share.
Has either stolen the other’s underwear?
Not underwear, but Ethan stole a hoodie from Danny and he wears it to class sometimes. Danny finds it adorable.
Who comes first?
Danny. Wolf stamina and all that.
Who is better at oral and who prefers it?
Danny is great giving and receiving. One good blowjob and he’s yours forever.
Who is more submissive?
Ethan, surprisingly.
Who usually initiates things?
Ethan. Although, Danny gets really horny whenever he has a couple of beers in him, and it’s hilarious to watch his whole seduction routine, husky voice and all.
Who is more sensitive?
Ethan. Maybe he’s more in touch with his body, I don’t know.
Who has the most patience?
Danny is the master of zen.
Which kinks do they share?
Danny’s not very kinky, really, but he loves getting blindfolded. He’s able to hear every little change in Ethan’s breathing, he’s more sensitive and Ethan likes teasing him.
I am 68% sure that what Ethan hallucinates at the motel (Scott and Deuc killing his mom, Isaac and the freezer, Boyd and the tub) is him (maybe Aidan?) using that saw to hurt Danny.
I'm not 100% sure because it's probably too soon for him to be that invested in the relationship, but...
