And then it was gone, slipped away from Ren's fingers with invisible hands and the sound of munching could be heard emanating from the direction of the pup. Ren folded his arms together in front of him and laid his head down on top of them, arching one brow as his tail flicked lazily behind him.
"Meat is bad for you, you know," he said, rolling his eyes a little. But then his expression softened a little, and he grinned cheekily.
"But you're so cute when you're all possessive. See, this is why you need to get yourself a ghooouuull~"
Really, one day, Ren was just going to be slapped.

Jove kept chewing. That was silly, meat was just fine. He had eaten meat before and not had any problems, even really fresh meat. Even so-recently-dead-it-almost-wasn't-meat meat. He was pretty sure canines were supposed to eat meat, even if he had a mostly vegetarian diet like Ren's due to their close association.
However, the chewing paused when his brother continued. He let out a snort. He was NOT cute. Not even sl-
With an indignant growl the pup jerked himself up, the rumble cut off abruptly as he banged his head loudly against the wooden supports under the bed. It was hard enough to stun him for a half second before the thoughts returned in full force. He wasn't cute, and he DEFINITELY did not need a ghoul! He was just fine being un-cute and on his own!
He made another attempt at a growl and rolled back over to face the wall, where he resumed chewing on the rawhide.

The smell of the meat was somewhat nauseating to Ren, but at least it wasn't real meat - just some sort of dried treat for puppies like Jove to much on (apparently when nobody was looking).
CRASH.
And, speaking of the puppy, he'd just managed to slam his head on the underside of the bed. Ren winced a little, lifting his hands to cover his own automatically in case Jove decided to take retribution for his little comments.
Especially since now Jove was turned away from him again.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," said Ren, in a tone that said he was not really all that sorry and that he was probably concealing a great deal of laughter. He scooted forward beneath the bed until he was close enough to flop his chin on Jove's side, smiling brightly at him.
"Come on, don't pout, I was just kidding. You don't need a ghoul."
A pause.
"Or a boil. Whatever floats your boat."

Jove glanced up at Ren briefly, rawhide sticking from his mouth, as though asking "What do you mean by that?" Of course he didn't need a ghoul. But... A boil? What did that even mean?
He made a little grumbling noise, letting his sore head flop back against the pillow he was resting on. Ren was being confusing again. Talking about boils and boats and invading his space. What did boils have anything to do with it?
With an irritated frown, the pup tipped onto his back, and then pinched Ren's nose with his fingers.

"I WAS JOKING, JOKING OW OW - "
Reaching up, Ren dragged Jove's fingers away from his nose and then reached his own hand up, rubbing at it, his lower lip jutting out in a pout. "I'm just kidding, I like you just fine the way you are, okay?"
Then he proceeded to bury his face in Jove's neck and blow a raspberry obnoxiously.
"Really, come on, I don't mind that you're eating a rawhide, okay? It's kinda cute, actually."grey dragon HOW DID I MISS THIS TAG I AM SO SORRY ASKDNFDS /SOB

Jove growled, baring his teeth even as he clutched the rawhide between them. Ren was annoying as always! Had he been serious about getting away from his brother's attention he might have used his teeth, but being at least adoptive family kept the gryphon from such a painful fate.
Instead the pup just put on his grumpiest expression. It wasn't Ren's aversion to meat that caused his secrecy. He just... felt embarrassed and awkward. Students didn't chew on rawhide like little puppies. Students were supposed to be scary, not cute.

Ren wrapped his arms around Jove's waist and hugged him from behind, burying his nose into the boil's back and snuggling close. "Jeez, and people say you're not scary. If they think that they haven't seen that look you're wearing right now."
He gave a mock shiver. "Chills."

That comment, surprisingly, seemed to pacify the pup, and he resumed his sullen chewing. And with no more comments from the feathered peanut gallery securely attached to his waist, he began to relax. His infrequent breaths slowed, his little body slumped against Ren's, and his eyes drifted closed in a rare expression of peace and happiness the longer he chewed on that rawhide stick.
In fact, as long as Ren stayed still, Jove was positively cuddly.

Ren did, in fact, stay perfectly still, mostly because he was comfortable and half because he really just loved cuddling and cuddling with Jove was the second best thing after cuddling with LW. And besides, he hadn't cuddled with Jove in who knew how long and was going to take full advantage of the opportunity since it had arisen so generously.
"You're my favorite," said Ren happily, and squished Jove.

One ear flicked back, the chewing pausing momentarily as Jove registered his brother's words. What a thing to say. He was his brother's favourite? Favourite what, favourite person? Favourite sibling? Favourite... food? It made no sense without appropriate context.
The pup huffed, and then wiggled out of his brother's grasp to climb up onto his bed. Once there he sprawled out on his back with no worry he'd start choking if that rawhide slipped from between his teeth.

Of course, as soon as Jove left Ren pouted, and eventually crawled out from under the bed to stand up beside it, stretching out stiff limbs and looking down at his little brother. Instead of climbing in after him, however, he sat down on the edge of it and leaned over him, smiling slightly crookedly.
"Yeah," he said, in a surprisingly serious tone of voice, reaching out a hand to gently stroke Jove's hair away from his pale face. "You're my favorite."
