I own none of these characters!

"Mr. Shabby, Mr. Shaffy! I'm off to school!"

JJ skipped to the door as her guardians came over to the girl.

The black bunny ruffled her hair as the bear smiled. "Okay Jenny. Be good."

"I will!" she piped, giving them a hug before dashing out the door. But not before shouting. "I love you!"

They both blinked and looked at each other quizzically as the basement door slammed shut.

"Do you have any clue who she was talking to?" Shab asked, scratching behind his ears.

His bear companion laughed. "She's obviously referring to me. I take of her like a real guardian should."

"Hey!" the bunny retorted. "I take just as much care of her as you do!"

"I was the one to make her feel at home with us the first day she lived with us! Remember?"

~I~I~

"Hey Shaffy? Could you do us a favor?"

Shaf looked up from his newspaper and looked up to meet Freddy's bright blue eyes. He scowled. "If it has anything to do with Mari, we are not interested."

"No. This has nothing to do with Mari." The other bear chuckled as he looked behind him and said sweetly. "You can come out sweetie. Shaffy isn't gonna hurt you."

Hestitantly, a six year old girl stepped out from behind the bear. She wore a purple and blue striped shirt with a jean skirt and light lavender Converse. She also had short light brown hair that was put up in pigtails, held together with matching striped ribbons.

Shaffy looked at the child, who's purple eyes were looking towards the floor, before looking back up at Freddy. The chocolate bear continued to talk.

"You see, we were planning on only getting one certain kid named Billy Patterson. But he wouldn't leave his sister in there by herself. And since I care deeply about sibling relationships, we got her too. So…would you-"

"Mind taking care of her?" the other bear finished as he walked over to the girl. She jumped as she noticed the Shadow's feet and looked hesitantly into his eyes. "I think I can do that."

He then bended down to her height and smiled.

"Hey there kiddo. What's your name?"

"J-Jennifer." She stammered. "But JJ or Jenny is fine."

The Shadow got up and held out his hand to her. "Alright then. Let's get you settled in."

Gingerly, the girl took it and the two moved down the hall.

~I~I~

Shabby huffed. "So what!?"

"She clearly loves me more than you." His partner smirked. "Acknowledge that…or I'll put you in your place."

"Really? Where?"

"You'll find out if you keep this act up."

"What did I even do!?"

Shaffy then snapped. "That's it! I've had enough of this!" the bear took out a piece of paper and began to write on it with a pen.

"What are you doing?" the black bunny asked while crossing his arms.

"I'm writing you a cease and desist!"

"For what?"

"For being a bitch."

"What?!"

"You're not allowed to be a bitch anymore!" the bear had then marched over to his partner and shove the paper into his chest

"But that's not fair!"

"Now do what you're getting paid to do and get out of my face!"

Before the bunny could say anything more, Shaffy had already left the room. The bunny sighed as he balled up the paper and tossed it into the floor before sitting in the couch. He then took out the remote that was cluttered between the cushions before turning on the TV.

After a few seconds of skipping through channels, his bear friend returned and was quickly putting on his jacket. The rabbit turned to him.

"Where are you going?"

"Work." He answered simply.

"But it's your day off!"

"I'm going anyway!" Shaf snapped back. "Because no way in hell am I staying here with you any longer!"

"You can't run away from the truth!" the bunny got off the couch and crossed his arms. "JJ loves me!"

"No she doesn't. She loves me!"

"No, she loves me!"

"Me!"

"ME!"

The Shadows growled at each other. They were nose to nose and it looked as if one of them would snap and hit the other.

But instead, they kissed.

The bear wrapped his arms around the bunny's waist, pulling him closer. Shabby moaned as Shaffy shoved his tongue in the rabbit's mouth and moved their session to the couch.

Shab laughed breathlessly as Shaf ended the kiss, a string of saliva connecting their mouths together for a few seconds before splitting. They smiled at each other while panting heavily.

"What now?" the bunny asked, moaning a bit as his partner planted kisses down his neck.

"You…wanna take this to the bedroom~?" the bear purred.

Shabby smirked as he snuggled up to Shaffy. "You know I do~!"

He gasped and then giggled as Shaf suddenly lifted him into his arms and walked to the bedroom.

~I~I~

"I'm home!"

Jenny walked into the house and saw that it was similar to when she left.

Shabby doing nothing on the couch but watching TV and Shaffy sitting at the table reading something.

The bear looked up from his book and smiled at the girl. "Hello JJ. How was school?"

"Good. Had a pretty big test today. But…I'm not sure if I passed."

Shaffy got up and hugged the balloon vendor. "I'm pretty sure you did well."

"By the way," Shabby asked as he turned towards him from his spot on the couch. "who were you talking to this morning?"

His partner rolled his eyes as Jenny asked. "What do you mean?"

"When you said 'I love you.'. Who were you talking to?"

"Both of you of course." She tilted her head. "Why'd you ask?"

"Well-"

"No reason!" Shaf interrupted, slapping his paw over Shab's mouth. "Just go do your homework sweetheart!"

JJ looked at the duo in confusion but shrugged and skipped upstairs, dragging her backpack behind her.

Once she was gone, the bear slapped him. "Why the hell would you ask her that?!"

"Ow! Hey! You wanted to know too!"

"Yeah but that doesn't mean…" he sighed loudly, sitting beside the bunny on the couch. He huffed. "Never mind!"

Shab smirked and traced his finger down the bear's neck softly, causing Shaf to moan. "I love you."

The lavender bear sighed and kissed his companion's forehead. "I love you too."
