Hurt Feelings

Toboe and Hige crept through an ally, the moon lighting their way. Toboe shivered. "Hige...I don't think there's any food down here." The bigger wolf sighed. Why did the runt have to tag along? "We'll check a little further just to be sure." Toboe followed Hige reluctantly. Suddenly, a loud crash sounded, sending Toboe running into Hige's back. "WHAT THE HELL, TOBOE!" Hige snapped, shoving the boy back. "S-sorry Hige. I didn't mean too. That loud noise scared me." Toboe looked back to find a trashcan tipped over, an ally cat sitting next to it. "Geez kid, it's just a cat..." Hige started walking again. "Quite being so useless and help me find food or we will be food." Toboe stutter stepped behind Hige. "Quite calling me that. I'm not useless." Hige laughed. "Well then what are you, runt?" After Toboe's silent pause, Hige continued. "Exactly. C'mon, we have to go."

"Find anything?" Kiba instantly asked, as the duo walked into the ally that they had spent the night in. "We would if Useless here wasn't so clumsy..." Hige shoved Toboe on the shoulder. "It wasn't my fault! A cat scared me... and I'm not useless." Toboe sulked off in the furthest corner of the ally. Tsume lounged on the wall above the corner, opening an eye when he heard Toboe lean against the wall and slide down into the corner. He heard soft sniffles from the boy. Tsume growled in annoyance. "Hey runt, what's with the sniffles?" Toboe looked up at Tsume, hurt in his eyes. "Nothing…just annoyed." Toboe wiped his tears away and sighed. "Runt…you don't cry when you're annoyed. What's up?" "Quite calling me that!" Toboe instantly jumped up and snapped at Tsume. "That's all I ever get called around here! I have a name, you know!" Tsume stared at Toboe, shocked at the boy's sudden outrage. "Toboe…what happened?" Toboe sighed and kicked the wall. "Hige keeps calling me names like "Useless". I tell him to stop, but he just ignores me. I hate it!" Tsume jumped down from the wall and walked towards Hige. "Hige…did you call Toboe useless?" "Um…yeah." That was all Tsume needed to hear. He tackled Hige, catching him off guard, pinning him to the ground. Hige yelped, trying to escape from Tsume's grip. "Apologize." The gray wolf growled in Hige's ear. "Make me." Hige spat. Tsume turned Hige and twisted his arm violently. Hige cried out in pain. "Wanna try that again?" Tsume growled.

Tsume pushed Hige towards Toboe, making him stumble and fall. "Was that really necessary?" Hige growled. He picked himself up and hunched his shoulders. "Hey Runt…I mean Toboe." Toboe crossed his arms and scowled. "What do you want?" Hige rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "I came to apologize…about earlier." He looked back at Tsume, who nodded for him to continue. "And…I promise not to call you any more names. Will you accept my apology?" Toboe stared at Hige for a moment, before nodding his head. "Apology accepted." "Thanks. Can I go now?" Hige turned to Tsume. "You're free to go." Tsume replied. After Hige walked away, Toboe ran and glomped Tsume, kissing him on the cheek. "Thank You Tsume!" Tsume chuckled and kissed Toboe back. "Anytime."

There you go! Hope yall liked it! :D
