"Hey, don't think that we both doesn't know that you don't like to be touched. Take a step back, you brat."

Reynard's eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms, eyeing the mini him who was sitting on your lap, Ruse. As for the boy, he only gaze at the adult him with a blank look, not scared at all.

To make a long story short, a villain hit Reynard with a time travel power, which brought Ruse, Reynard's child self to their current timeline. According to the villain— which he was totally not threatened by Reynard— his power last for three day at most. So naturally, Reynard had to take care of his child self with you, his lover of course.

But what he didn't expect was that Ruse warmed up to you pretty much quickly! And now you were coddling Ruse, rambling how cute his past self was.

Ruse, who was pretty much has no experience in feeling loved in his own household, likes you very much. You were nice, and definitely loving.

But for Reynard, he felt like setting the house on fire. No, he's totally not jealous. He's an adult for God's sake! Of course he's not jealous of his own self.

It's just that.... you were neglecting him and paying too much attention on Ruse, instead. His heart is wounded as he sat besides you, eyeing Ruse with a resentful look.

"you don't like to be touched either." Ruse retorted back, turning around to hug you as if rubbing it at Reynard's face that you are paying attention to him more than you did to Reynard.

"That's different! They're my lover, the only one I accepted. Not yours, you stinky brat." Reynard scowled, his cool and cold demeanor completely slipping away at the banter between his own past self.

"They're mine too." Ruse muttered, pouting slightly and Reynard snorted. "In the future, not now."

And here they are, bickering like a siblings as you tried to make sense that you have to face this for another two days.
