Drabbles of Frontier
9: Dogs I (Kouichi)
Dogs had a sense about them that humans didn't. Maybe it was something about the smell, that made Hikaru always turn and look at the shadows that hid him.
'What are you doing over there,' he seemed to ask. 'Aren't you going to play with me?'
And then when they finally met, outside the shadows, there was an impatient boof: 'you've kept me waiting.'
'He's not even that excitable with Kouji,' their father would say.
Because Kouji didn't keep him waiting for weeks, perhaps. Even if they'd never met. Even if they hadn't been family then… because they are now.
