Sitting isn't rocket science

🌺Want some cuteness? We need more cuteness!🌺

Cuddles.... No Venom, Venom moved slightly, I glanced up tiredly, unsure how long we had been sitting. I might have even napped, I can't tell.

It seemed to mutter in the weird demon language, I glanced over at Master and Wolf, they seemed to have fallen asleep.

They must be very tired to sleep a day away, I have no clue where they went.

Cudd.... Venom held me close as he slowly stood, I glanced around and stared briefly at the boy on the dog bed.

I felt lightheaded and dizzy as they moved and set me down on the couch, the tv playing some movie. I didn't much notice as I felt movement around me.

I glanced behind me, only now realising that I'd been set down between Wolf's and Master's legs.

They were just sleepily moving, probably not even aware I was now here. They look less dangerous asleep, maybe it's because Master is tilting his head on Wolf's, who was nuzzling the crook of his neck.

Okay still scary.

I glanced at my sore hip and sighed, Master didn't mean it... He didn't.....

I could see dried blood spots on my hand from putting pressure on it. I wonder if Master will keep me around if I get sick and useless from an infection?

If I'm that much work and need medicine, will he care?

I gazed sadly at him, for a demon, he looks pretty content with Wolf. Sure they came back and didn't leave me.... But he still can.

If I am just a pet, that means he controls everything about my life and can even choose to neglect or abandon me... Stop....

I paused nervously as I watched the boy begin to stir. He tiredly glanced to his side and saw my partly drunk bowl of water, I watched him begin to slurp it and sit up.

His back was to me as he rubbed his eyes and slowly gazed up at the tv, squinting in confusion.

"Telly? Since when was there a demon channel?" He mumbled tiredly. I glanced up at the movie, it seemed to be a romance, a spider mouthed alien was having a fancy burnt dinner with another.

I could feel eyes on me and I warily looked back down, he was squinting at me.

"Uh.... Well.... That's not something I've seen..." He mumbled, glancing away red faced.

"You being treated like a pet to?" He asked, his voice now a stutter, I guess I'd taken him by surprise.

I sighed nervously.

"Yea.... He's my.... My... Master" I said, squeaking out the word master, it was still an embarrassing thing to admit. Besides the last humans I saw probably only knew the word in a sexual light.

Maybe I should use the word owner... I guess Master is fine.

"Oh... So you've like just accepted it?" He asked, still avoiding looking at me, his ears bright red.

"It's the best outcome.... Better a pet then dead or starving" I mumbled, unsure what he'd say next.

"Oh, that makes sense, yea I guess. It isn't that bad, the furball feeds and bathes me" he agreed slightly, he seemed confused. Accepting that you're a pet is quite a confusing time.

"Yea... They do that... It isn't actually that bad I guess... I just hate how weak it makes me feel" I admitted quietly.

He nodded slowly.

I could feel more movement around me now, Master was blinking his eyes, Wolf was giving him a sleepy lick.

I was lifted up and held firmly against Masters chest. The boy looked up nervously as they stood. He shrunk down to the dog bed, intimidated by the demons.

Wolf shuffled off while Master carried me outside, the warm air had cooled down as the afternoon sun was slowly dragging down to the horizon.

He set me down on the grass. This spot... It's the same one he was trying to get me to sit.

Wolf returned with a small, strangely shaped bag.

I stood nervously, after the last time I was here and my new injury, I didn't feel confident in playing charades, advanced rocket scientist edition.

Wolf sat down and handed Master the bag, he stroked my back briefly before moving back an inch.

I didn't stop staring at him, to afraid I'd miss something.

My owner spoke a little before pointing to the ground, my mind fell blank for a moment. I'd been so on edge about something new that the one thing I did know threw me off.

He did it again and slowly I let myself lower into a cross legged position, my wobbly legs grateful for a break.

I watched as he crouched down and stroked my head before pressing a brown lump to my lips. I quietly chewed the meaty treat and decided it wasn't that bad.

It still was unusual and unlikable.

He moved away and said something, pointing at me and the ground, I tensed up as I grew confused. I'm already sitting, what does he want?

Does he want me to bow? To sit differently?

He continued as I tensely watched him, ready for anymore mistakes or accidents.

He seemed bothered already, I didn't want to be scared anymore...

I don't want to live in fear....

His movements becoming more quick and sharp, I gulped and swayed on my ass, the grass irritating my skin, or maybe there were bugs.

Wolf seemed to speak up before snapping his jaws, I flinched and grabbed my head, ducking my chin down, instinctively protecting my neck.

I glanced up with my eyes to see Master looking at me, he crouched down and stroked my head as I slowly released my head.

He chirped and moved me into a laying position. I looked up at him, lie down.... That's what he wanted.

He handed me another treat and I chewed it, feeling somehow like an idiot for not understanding the simple direction.

He didn't lash out this time...

He pulled me to my feet and I shakily stood, watching him.

He pointed to the ground, I sat. He pointed again. I laid down. He chirped happily and patted my gut before feeding me another treat.

I can be a good pet.

My owner isn't scary when I make him happy with me.

I am a good pet.

He helped me back up to my feet and moved his finger in a circle, I spun around, hoping that was all he wanted.

He made a strange noise, and seemed to be laughing.

"... Mas.... Master... My hip hurts" I whimpered, there was an odd stinging in my hip.

I could see a mosquito buzzing around, maybe they're attracted to the scabs on my hip.

I looked back at my owner who seemed to be thinking, he held a treat to me and I chewed on it.

The stinging must be from the bugs, though I feel a little dizzy.

He seemed to be deep in thought. I hope I did what he wanted, the injury has attracted mosquitos.

He moved away and I watched him carefully, he didn't pat me or give me a treat, maybe I failed..........

He chirped and I looked up, tilting my head slightly trying to figure out what he was motioning for me to do.

He seems to be speaking again.

He crouched in his spot and chirped again, I sat down.

He seemed to have been pointing to the ground, so maybe he wants me to listen even if he's far away.

Or he could want me to come....

Oh.

I never knew I was such an idiot.

Maybe that's why my family sacrificed me.

I was startled as Wolf hoisted me up and cradled me in his arms, I curled up against him, my body already itchy and irritated.

I whined and resisted the urge to scratch.

They carried me inside, Master taking the small bag into the kitchen.

I looked into the main room and saw the boy being patted by the same demon that carried him in.

Once master joined us I buried myself deeper into Wolf's fur and arms, hoping to ignore the pain and itchyness.

I was nearly happy to see the bed again, yet I couldn't shake the worry as the moment I got hurt wasn't long ago at all.

I could feel my consciousness fading as we reached the bed, my dizzy head falling softly onto the blankets.

My owner pulled me close and began grooming me. Only for my eyes to flutter and my body to relax, sleep was drawing over me.

Sleep.....
