Trenton 'Toto'


Just ignore him, Trenton, the white-haired inu told himself, his eye twitching. The group of four - Deidre, Resin, Dorothy, and himself - had ventured out of the mysterious woods the cyborg used for a home and found themselves in the town made only of fine glass and porcelain. China Town, a place that offered many memories, and a fragile outlook on things.
Of course, Trenton couldn't take the time to reminisce, for he was busy trying to blot out the sounds coming out of Deidre's mouth. Those annoying, persistent sounds. Maybe he'll go away if I ignore him. He reasoned this with himself for the past couple hours, during the entire journey from the distance to the town. The man had kept badgering him about his feelings for Dorothy, and though there were thousands of things he could say, he didn't have any intention of pouring his soul out to... him.

Making sure Resin and Dorothy - especially Dorothy - weren't watching, Trenton turned around and grabbed Deidre by the collar. Snarling, he lifted him up in the air. "Don't you dare even lay a hand on her." he seethed, fury in his green eyes.

The inu's eyes widened for a second before narrowing. "The f_ck are you to talk like that, you arrogant tin can!" he snarled viciously, his grip tightening until his knuckles were as white as his hair. "I've been her pet for years - whether I liked it or not - I know everything about her! I know what she likes, what she hates, what she fears, and I can damn well take care of her when she needs it!" His anger peaking, he dropped the cyborg onto the ground unceremoniously. "You have the audacity to try and tell me she'd be better off with you? You?" He scoffed. "You're just some sleezeball to her, even you know that. Something you can create? Either some con trick or a killing machine, maybe both. She'd never be happy with you." he spat.

"She doesn't need sex to be happy!" he argued. "I..." He drifted off, seeing every hold Deidre pointed out, or perhaps the largest, and only, one.
He and Dorothy were from different worlds.
This time they had together was temporary, and even should he... confess to her, she'd just go back to her old world then. And if he were to join her... he'd be a dog once more.
So in the end.... there's no point.
Realization hitting him, Trenton stared at the ground next to Deidre, a fleet of emotions flying across his mind, heart, body, face, and anything it could reach. There's no point. Those three words repeated in his head over and over, each time adding more despair to his forlorn face.

"Heh, I'm just her pet pup in her eyes." Trenton chuckled bitterly, his ears flattened against his head in dismay. "There's no way she'd fall for me after all our time as pet and girl." He lifted his gaze and watched Dorothy struggle to get off Resin, his eyes cloaked with sadness. "And.... And even if she did care about me, this isn't her world. She has another life waiting for her, a family that loves her and friends that miss her." His eyes narrowed sorrowfully. "And probably some punk waiting to sweep her off her feet."

The inu paused. The Wizard.... It was so simple! Trenton almost let a smile flow through his face, but his doubts kept him at bay. "So... how exactly does she feel about me again?" he asked Deidre almost childishly, one ear up and the other flopping down.

Trenton reflected the smile then looked back towards Dorothy. Furrowing his eyebrows nervously, he reached up and scratched the back of his head. "Ah... I don't even know how to tell her..." he muttered more to himself than to his companion.
