fluffy ranwan, black wolf mr/arctic fox cwn

mr is an alpha wolf. he's the leader of his pack, if he had one that is. he takes no prisoners, shows no mercy. the world is cruel, and he's the one who makes it so. https://twitter.com/chuwannings_ass/status/1391606240107589634
mr has been alone for so long now. he has convinced himself he has no need for a companion. he tells himself that it is better this way.

on this particular day, mr is patrolling his territory, on the hunt for unfortunate fluffy animals to snap up and eat for dinner.
he knows he is at a disadvantage since his black fur stands out starkly against the white landscape after the snowstorm that lasted for several days straight. but he's fast, and his eyes are sharp, and he is HUNGRY.

he WILL eat something today.
mr prowls along the edge of the forest, looking out at the large expanse of clearing ahead of him. he has ventured quite far in search of food, but hopefully he'll catch an unfortunate rabbit.

just then, his eyes spot a wiggling rabbit butt in the snow.
mr laughs internally as he calculates how fast he can make it and if he can catch the rabbit unawares. just as he is about to leap out into the clearing, he spots a second white wiggle.

TWO rabbits, oh, he is in for a feast tonight.

mr leaps.
he's across the clearing in seconds, and he pounces on the furry white rabbit, maw open ready to snap the poor thing's neck in one bite.

suddenly, the white thing pops its head out of the hole and blinks at him. mr freezes, jaw gaping over the little FOX sitting there.
a white rabbit, the first wiggle mr saw, hangs limp in the fox's mouth. the fox continues to sit there and stares up at the darkness that is mr's throat. drool falls around him, and the fox can probably feel mr's hot breath on him.
he should just eat both of them. the fox and the rabbit, barely enough to keep him full for a day.

but those EYES. the little arctic fox has huge golden eyes, blinking up at him innocently. mr tries to force his jaw to close around it.
he can't. it's too cute. it's too small. too innocent. too pretty. too pure. it's just trying to survive. it must have worked so hard to catch the rabbit. mr's really not that hungry. he can easily catch another rabbit... mr could suddenly come up with thousands of excuses.
he growls deep in his throat before backing off. he snaps his mouth closed angrily and glares at the little fox. it's pathetically small for its kind, though its tail is unfairly fluffy and pretty.

mr wants to eat it, but it would be a pity to eat something so pretty.
suddenly, the fox moves and places the rabbit down on the ground. it licks its lips and stares at mr. then, it turns tail and walks away, its pretty white tail waving behind it.

it takes several seconds for mr's dumb brain to process.
he picks up the rabbit and tosses it up in the air, snapping it up in a second. then, he gives chase.

mr clamps his jaw down on the little fox within a few seconds, and the fox does not even flinch. mr holds it by its nape and takes off at full speed back into the forest.
it takes him an hour of running before he makes it back to his cave. he tosses the fox onto a pile of leaves, watching it roll head over heels a few times.

"stay here or i'll eat you," he growls at it.

the thing blinks at him again. then it nods slowly.
mr leaves the cave for another hunt. this time, he somehow catches the scent of a herd of deer. he tracks the scent and finds the deer by the river.

it does not take long for mr to take one down and drag it back to his cave. the fox is still waiting for him.
mr takes care to (not carefully) rip out the choicest piece of meat and threw it at the fox. then, he lay down and rested his head in his paws before saying gruffly, "eat it."

the fox stares at the meat. then over at mr.
"...thank you."

mr is briefly taken aback by how the fox sounded. he had thought the tiny thing was a female and that its voice would be squeaky. although the fox's voice was soft, he was most definitely of the male kind.

mr huffs and looks away. "just eat it."
he definitely glances back when the small fox begins to eat. when he finishes, mr asks, "so what's your name?"

the fox sits up straight, his tail curls around him. "chu wanning," he says.

his voice is cold and stiff, fitting for an arctic fox, but not for one of his size.
"cwn, you will now stay here with me," mr announces. "i'm mo ran, and i'm going to be your alpha."

cwn's beautiful eyes narrows.

"of our pack," mr hurriedly explains. "alpha of our pack."
"i see," cwn says. he looks around the cave, saying nothing more on the topic. "i'm going to sleep now."

mr blinks in surprise as cwn lies down on his back and rests his paws out straight, at his side. a very, very strange sleeping position.
mr waits, but cwn definitely fell asleep. what a strange fox, able to fall asleep so quickly in a strange setting, not even questioning that he just got kidnapped and relocated and is now living with a strange, black wolf?

mr huffs. he eats dinner, filling his stomach.
then, he carefully tiptoes to the pile of leaves and lowers himself down next to the white fox.

cwn sleeps on.

mr moves a little closer and puts a paw on the other side of cwn, barring him in.

cwn's ear twitches but he sleeps on.
mr finally puts his head down and lets his eyelids grow heavy as he watches cwn's little fox chest rise and fall. just as he is about to fall asleep, cwn unconsciously flicks his tail and rests it on top of mr's paw.

mr smiles and sleeps.
