bucky reached down to scratch behind ky’lar’s ear, a smile forming on the man’s face. “i got you some stuff. i don’t, you know. think you can celebrate christmas but you deserve some gifts anyway.” a large, plush bed rested near the (small) tree, many chew toys and treats piled atop. “it’s not much, but i couldn’t carry anything more in just one bag.”

it was still ODD. being trapped in a body of an animal due to the fact he had PISSED OFF THE WRONG DEMONS. then again, he was slowly getting used to it — all he needed was MORE TIME. once that happened, he could finally LEAVE THIS BODY, and get back to one where he could actually do more than just act like a mutt. 

either way, he lifted his head up for a few moments with a LOW GROWL ( it was easier than trying to speak these days when all he wanted was to leave ). of course, it wasn’t much; upon looking at the presents, a long sigh escaped his lips. he hated holidays… hated them all and anyone getting things for him? Even in this form… it just felt plain old WEIRD.

“i deserve to no longer be a dog.” his words came out through coughs as he lowered his head back down to the ground, “i… i appreciate it.”

no hard feelings he says. he didn’t even know how long he’d been in the pits but he’s barely been out an hour before ky starts in on him. usually he ignores him. he’s still too violent that this time he takes it a step further by swatting Ky’s hand away. “don’t touch me.” it might land him back in chains again but he’s not in the right mindset to be touched by anyone.

he was… SURPRISED as the hand was swatted away, but then again, it should have been expected. IT WASN’T PERSONAL, ky did what he thought was in his best interests. FORCING CALEB back in the pits was amusement… especially since he wanted his PET back again. his new PUNISHMENTS would make his former ones look like CHILD’S PLAY, but for now, throwing him back in the PITS might be easier than chains ( though he enjoyed both options ).

“ temper temper, ” he said bluntly, “ maybe you should spend some more time back there… it might make you a bit more….. MANAGEABLE. ” as much as he wanted caleb back, he wasn’t ABOVE sending him straight back to the pits to prove a point.

“i highly doubt that.” she may have had power, but the demon wasn’t going to put trust into simply that. they had his father to deal with and getting his body back. of course, he doubted that it would be in decent condition, but then again, it didn’t matter. it was his and no one else’s, “if they get in your way… you’ll not be able to hold your own for long.”

the last person who betrayed me? i broke his larynx

there was no doubt about it that ky’s mouth should have stayed shut; going down this route wasn’t going to turn out well for him. true, he betrayed people all the time, but they were usually dead after the fact. a reason to why he was hoping that things wouldn’t go that far — at least he hoped as much, “… is that really what you think of me? we had a deal. i won’t break it simply for a better opportunity down the line.”

There’s an arm that flops over their chest, leg entertained with theirs on the bed, as Dean puts off work to bury his face into the crook of Ky’lar’s neck.

it was one of the few times that ky was completely relaxed. being around dean had that effect on him most days and it was why he was content to simply lay there. after-all, it was nice to take a day to themselves… if only so they could be like this, and forget about the world around them.

“mmm.” he muttered lightly, his fingers slowly running through the other’s hair, “someone’s been a good boy lately.” it was a compliment… or rather, the best sort of one that he could give at the moment.

“i do believe you’re a better choice for heir than my son.”

if he was being honest with himself, he didn’t believe the other’s words one bit. his father was and would always be BETTER than him. not to mention ky’lar KNEW that he wasn’t getting anything — not unless his attitude changed, and that in itself was a process he still trying to GRASP.

at any-rate, he WASN’T going to put too much WEIGHT into his grandfather’s words. not when he wasn’t sure WHY the other was saying it; test, jest, or otherwise… he wasn’t going to let himself DWELL on it.

“you sure ‘bout that?” the question was asked just to confirm what he was hearing, “we both know my track record. mine’s higher for DISASTERS than his own.”
