A/N This one's rating is T because of the lovely Akutsu. This drabble is a bit shorter. Enjoy.


B for Being Protective

"Get away from me, stupid dog." Akutsu pushed the small bulldog away from his seat on the couch.

"Akutsu-senpai, why do you do that to poor Beni-kun?" Dan, who was at Akutsu's hou- no, apartment asked, taking the dog in his arms.

"It's just an ugly thing the old hag picked up a few years ago." Akutsu took a long drag of his cigarette.

"It's not ugly!" Dan protested.

"Both of you are annoying the hell out of me. Get the fuck away." Akutsu grunted.

Dan, angry, opened his mouth to object but noticed something in the corner of his eye.

"Yuki-san?" He walked over into the kitchen where she stood, beckoning him.

"Don't mind Akutsu. He never says what he thinks." Yuki took the bulldog in her arms. "Let me tell you a secret, to get back for him calling me an old hag."

"Hm?" Dan leaned in closer, grinning.

"Ever since he got that second-hand smoke pamphlet in the mail last year, he always kicks Beni-kun away from wherever he's smoking. It seems he's trying to protect the little dog." Yuki's smile was wide.

"Really?" Dan was filled with new respect for his senpai.

"And it's come to my attention that he's also staying quite a bit away from you as well." Yuki whispered.

Dan's grin went from ear to ear.
