A short little story of mine and @storm337 's precious AU bois ^^ The Golems (Googles) and Sphinx!Host belong to her and Hellhound!Anti is mine ^^ hope you all enjoy
Blue pipes up seeing Host carrying a scruffy humanlike creature, “You- you're adopting a hell hound?!” Host’s mouth full of the creature’s hoodie carrying him around “The Host would like to remind Blue that he was the one which pressured the Host into obtaining Orange.” Blue pouted, “That was different.” Host's lips curled into a smile, “Was it?” as he smugly walks off to give Anti a proper, much needed bath.
Anti is dropped unceremoniously into a very large bath by the Host. He pops up sputtering for air. He didn't like water that much considering what it does to his flames. Anti is barely able to scramble out of the way as Host splashes in after him, relishing in the comforting water.
Anti just shivers in the water, not used to these things called baths. He starts panicking, thinking his fire will go out or the water will hurt him being a hellhound and all. He scrambled up the Host trying to get away from the water, whimpering pitifully. His entire body shook from the cold.
Yellow jumped in with them, trying to coax Anti down into the water. The poor hellhound just shook his head, too afraid to move. He curled up on top of Host not sure what to do, when a wet nose nudged his head. He lifted his head to see the Host gently lick his face, trying to calm the hound. Host then lays on his side, letting Anti feel the water but not so much to cover him or his flames. Yellow swims over and gently rubs the hound’s shoulders, then helps him wash his hair being careful of his flames.
Anti didn't know what to think. Having been raised like he was, he wasn't used to these gentle touches or even this kindness that he was being shown. His eyes stay closed throughout most of the bath wondering if this was all a dream.
After the nice warm bath and then a half-hearted toweling down, Host sweeps back in a moment later to groom Anti. Anti yawns wide. For the first time in a long time he finally felt safe. He gently curls up into Host's warm front paws slowly drifting to sleep.
“Don't get too comfortable mutt!” Blue yelled at the hellhound, “That is where I sleep! MOVE IT!”
Anti jumped at the Golem's words, scrambling back towards Host's chest. “I-I...I'm sorry! I..I didn't know! P-please don't p-punish me!” He curled into a ball, shaking like a leaf. The Host is shocked by Blue's outburst. He bares his teeth and growls at Blue,"Blue has stepped out of line. He should correct himself, before the Host does it for him."
Blue pouts again. He's angry that this little hellhound could just waltz in here and just take over. He huffed as he watched Host gently lick Anti's nose, trying to calm him. Then he gently laid his head over Anti letting him cuddle in the warmth of his mane.
