Demetri didn't pull his hand back, a small laugh leaving him as he finally showed some genuine emotion. He had a soft spot for children, even angry brats.
lol)
He winced, finally feeling a tiny bit of pain as his expression faded back to blank. He grabbed Sleepwalk by the back tuft of his neck and pulled him off looking at him "you are a mean little thing huh?."
Demetri yelped and grabbed him by the back tuft of his hair again and tugged him off quickly. "If you want me to keep getting you stuff and doing what you say-" He paused gently petting Sleepwalk with his free hand "-You should play nicer."
Demetri blinked, not sure how to reply to this "Well..are you sure you want ME? I mean asking that is a really big thing. You're putting a lot of trust in an adult you just met.."
Demetri sighed "Well...I can't be your dad, I don't even know your name kid and you don't know mine. We could be friends if that'd help..?" He gently pet Sleepwalk.
Sleepwalk cried, "Awen't wu tiwed of being so alone?!"
BD just blinked before comfortingly licking Sleepwalk's forehead gently, "Yes...but we have to stay strong together, alright...?"
BD looked up at Demetri and shot up, growling. He hissed and spiked his fur as a warning.
Sleepwalk didn't look up but was thankful BD was trying to protect him.
BD got up and sat beside Sleepwalk, glaring at Demetri.
Sleepwalk climbed up to Demetri's shoulder, licking his eye wound.
-the wound formed together and there was no more pain-
