*he considers the request, the dull blush in his cheeks beginning to glow in the sunlight. they're already almost closer than he can bear, his brother forgoing the convention of personal space to cling to him like the child he still is. but in the interest of gaining his trust, he rocks on his hindquarters again and tips the two of them over onto the picnic blanket, sinking his weight onto kalluto and smothering him against his bashfully beating heart.
vertigo, stronger than the shift in gravity, spins his head as they crash down together. a deeply ingrained memory claws itself to the surface, sharp with pain and defiance. his mind has trouble piecing it together, but his body doesn't, slots around kalluto's as if they were still just three and five years old, his limbs the toughened bones protecting the soft, shivering center of his youngest brother. he stiffens against him, spine arched against the danger that isn't there, breath shuddering.*
