Hunter woke up feeling safe, pulled into Deca's chest. His head was resting on Hunter's own. It was a new feeling for Hunter, who usually woke up feeling hated. Running his hands over his warm back, Hunter jolted from his arms, as he felt something fuzzy. He shifted, more threatening as a spider as he looked over Deca with his fangs flared wide, only to have large eyes blinking at him sleepily, and broad face he knew but didn't know what it was.

"What's wrong?!" Deca sat up, grabbing his shades, and looking. "CJ?" Deca asked slightly annoyed, turning to pick the shifter up, and setting him in his lap. "I told you not to bother Hunter."

I was cold? He said sheepishly, clearly a lie. Hunter rubbed his furry legs together in a questioning hiss. CJ flinched, and he immediately felt bad for scaring him. I wanted to cuddle. He told the truth.

Deca chuckled, taking CJ in his arms, and hugging him, "You could have just asked, hun."

CJ chuckled as Deca tickled his belly. Something about this made Hunter relax, not getting jealous like before, this was only friendly. He stood back, legs slightly bent as he relaxed and just watched.

Hunter help! Cj called out breathless. It shocked the spider, someone wanting his help, but he walked tentatively up to Deca, trying to push him away with flimsy legs.

Deca gave Hunter a look, and he knew he was in trouble, "You're not doing anything, Cyan." He let CJ go, the spider only able to swallow hard as he was grabbed about the thorax, and flipped over.

All seven legs flexed into the air, trying to find something to flip back over, but there was nothing. It made him feel vulnerable, a feeling he'd never liked before. But, it was fine if Deca was there.

Fingers pressed into the sensitive areas under two of his arms, tickling. His legs and feelers jerked, a silent laugh shaking his whole form. He tried trying to push Deca off, but couldn't.

I'll help! Cj called, sturdier form pushing Deca away. The two of them jumped on the larger male, paws, and legs tickling as much as they could.

"I give!" Deca wheezed, only able to move one before the other tickled him into laughter. Both shifters back up, sharing smiles.

We won! Cj cheered, toppling over Hunter and licking his cheek. The spider recoiled in shock, but laughed as it was done again.

What exactly are you? What kind of mammal wasn't afraid of a spider shifter? Even other shifters feared Hunter.

CJ tilted his head in question, I'm CJ. He looked at Deca to explain.

"Hunter means what is your shift." He shook his head at the oblivious guy.

Oh! I'm a Capybara.
