the one with Tegoshi and Shige as frolicking bunnies

Summary of a series of events that never happened:
trivialaffair: Huh, maybe I should try to make my first fic of the year, you know, actually happy, instead of my version of happy which involves people going through tons of angst and heartbreak and stuff beforehand. Maybe I should even make it...fluffy o_O. Do I even know how to write fluff?
sanjihan: It just takes practice.
trivialaffair sees the Countdown Tego/Shige!bunny ears pic.
trivialaffair gets an IDEA (which you should all know by now is never a good thing T__T).
trivialaffair practices.

Yeah, guys, I don't even know. My brain is deranged and apparently craves the JE boys as animals, all the time. (evidence: see raptor fic T____T)

the one with Tegoshi and Shige as frolicking bunnies

“But I'm cute,” Tegoshi pouts, as if that answers everything.

Shige stares. “Oh for the love of - we're all cute! We're rabbits!” He sits on his hind legs and looks down at his belly, soft and round and dirt-brown. God, he needs to exercise. His ear twitches. “Everyone loves small furry mammals! It's practically a law!”

Tegoshi snorts. “You've clearly never seen a rat before. Or a tarsier. Those things are nasty-looking.”

“That's not the point!” Shige flails. He gestures at the carrots between them, nudging a piece and watching it roll awkwardly in front of Tegoshi. Tegoshi huffs and Shige rolls his eyes. “We're bunnies. We eat vegetables. That is what we do. Why won't you just eat it so we can frolic merrily and be on our way?”

Tegoshi looks offended. “But we always eat carrots. Carrots carrots carrots. I'm so done with that, carrots are so last year. And they're orange.” He shudders. “They clash with my fur.”

Tegoshi's fur is sleek and black. Shige wants to smash his head against the ground. “Your fur is sleek and black,” he grits out, “black doesn't clash with anything. You ranted about this at length a week ago, remember?”

“Exactly,” Tegoshi retorts. “I can't help being the most gorgeous bunny to hop these plains. Why would I accent my fur with so tragically garish a color? God, orange. Just the thought of it makes me want to curl up and die. Black is the color of modern beauty, I'll have you know.”

“More like the color of your soul,” Shige wails. “So what, you're just going to go on a hunger-strike until you finally deign to lower yourself to eat amongst us mortals? Is this how it's going to be?!”

“No,” Tegoshi frowns, batting the carrot with an idle paw. “Just until we find something leafy that is not a carrot. They taste funny.” He looks at Shige out of the corner of his round chocolate eye, voice warm and soft. “I'm not saying you don't have to eat it, I know we may not find anything for a while. Just have some, I see some butterflies over there.”

And he bounds off toward the flower patch, giggling as a monarch takes flight at his approach. Shige sighs, before looking down at the carrot he had worked so hard to dig up.

“Don't scare them all off!” Shige says a few seconds later, flopping down beside Tegoshi. He lays on his back, lazy and warm from the sun, and Tegoshi smiles beside him. For a moment, Shige wants to snap at him or bite him or something, because some days, he really hates that Tegoshi somehow always manages to get his way.

Tegoshi yawns, nose furrowing as he stretches his hind legs sleepily, and Shige sighs.

But maybe not today.

AN: ...so...happy new year?
