don't close your eyes

As his paws left the ground a feeling of triumph shot through his chest. His paws would hit Loki's back, his jaws go straight for Loki's sensitive ears, and he'd clamp on until they bled and Loki cried and the whole stupid joke of a fight would be over and done with.

But things didn't go as planned. Moments after his teeth should have closed on flesh, Hati was eating dirt and had no idea how it happened.

Instead of standing and taking it like a man, Loki had actually run like a coward. He was standing a couple feet away from where he'd been supposed to be, completely unscathed, and worse... laughing at him. Hati stared at him, sprawled in the dirt like a stupid worm while Loki laughed his stupid head off, and a hot feeling started to squeeze his chest. Red tendrils of rage burning through him, making his eyes burn and his muscles shake from the intensity of it.

Loki stopped laughing when Hati sprang to his feet, but it barely registered with him. Claws digging into the earth and a roar tearing from his open jaws, he charged forward. His jaws snapped at Loki's face, but the little coward pulled away again. Not soon enough - he dodged Hati's teeth but Hati's chest hit squarely on Loki's shoulder and sent him rolling. Hati snapped out again but missed when Loki kept rolling. Before Loki could even get to his paws the furious pup was charging forward again. Loki was up, but incapable of moving anywhere when Hati tackled him to the ground, forelegs wrapping around his smaller brother's thin ribcage, chest to his back. Teeth drove viciously forward to dig into his scruff, and Hati twisted his grip until Loki screamed shrilly in pain.

The sound woke Hati from his fury, and he hesitated, loosening his grip enough for Loki to relax. A sudden snarl of fury rent the air. "Hati don't you fucking dare go easy on him. Man up or I'll rip your fucking tail off your ass. If he can't take it that's his goddamn problem." Hati's ears folded back, but closing his eyes, he tightened his grip once more, trying to ignore the sounds of his brother's pain.

I'm just dreaming of tearing you apart
