The Guardian of The Lamb

Hanatamago's Adventure

That night the little pup fell fast asleep along with the timid Prince. Berwald closed the dark blue book he had been reading to them and smiled before placing it down and leaving the room to let the two new found cuties sleep. He closed the door quietly and escaped to his own room. As quiet as the swede was the slight click of the door woke the puppy. Hana sat up and sniffed around seeing that Berwald was no longer there. She began to whine and sniffed around for the swedes musk. She followed it to the door only to bump her little round nose. She looked up and the wood and began to whine. She scratched at the door which slowly woke up the Prince.

"Hana?" The boy called tiredly.

The little snowball kept whining at the door.

"Hana, come back to sleep." The Finnish Prince asked.

The dog just kept whining and scratching ignoring the Prince. Tino slowly crawled out of bed and headed to the door. He opened it and watched the puppy's nose hit the floor.

"Hana?" The little blonde said following the puppy into the hall.

The curly haired pup sniffed along the stone floor down the hall then to the stairs. She stopped when she couldn't jump down and turned around yipping a bit upset. Tino looked at the puppy a bit confused but then realized she was to small to go down the stairs. So he picked her up and helped her down the stairs placing her back down at the bottom. The dog went right back to sniffing the ground and marching foreword. She sniffed all the way into a hall just Beneath the one they had just left. The puppy made it to a partially open door where the dog took no time in running in. Tino's eyes flashed open in surprise.

"Hana!" He whispered in fright.

He slowly creeped into the room to see the puppy at the side of the unknown bed. Hanatamago tried jumping on but was to small. Tino picked up the puppy only for her to start whining. The body in the bed rolled over and turned up the bedside lamp to reveal an angry scary face that made both Hana and the Prince screech. The man sat up and reached for his glasses to show the scary face was just scary Berwald.

"Tino?" He murmured. "What's wr'ng?" He asked.

"Well... Nothing?! I mean well... Nothing with me! Um... You see Hanatamago started to whine at the door so I opened it and she started walking and she couldn't get down the stares so I helped her and she came in here so I followed her to get her and well here we are!" He said without a breath.

The large swede picked up the puppy to receive a big kiss. He placed it down beside him and then moved over in his large bed.

"I th'nk Hana wants to sh're." The swede invited.

Tino blushed bright red and backed away.

"No that's okay! She can sleep with you I'll-"

Tino backed away to the door but the puppy ran to the end of the bed whining again.

"She doesn't want yah to go." Berwald translated.

"But I-"

Tino paused, he was a bit worried because of how scary his guardian was. But when the young prince saw the sweet sad eyes of the little Hana he realized that such a kind hearted puppy wouldn't have wanted to be with Berwald if he was bad.... So maybe....

Hana barked breaking his line of thought and then he took a big breath.

"Um.... Okay then..." The Prince gave up in defeat.

He crawled into the bed face to face with the tall man. The little Hanatamago crawled in between them curling up. The two instinctively tried to pet the pup but accidentally held hands.

"Sorry!" Tino blushed.

"Hm? It's fine." Berwald reassured.

Tino started to pet her head while Berwald scratched her back.

"If I didn't know any better I would think Hana set this up." Tino said lightening the awkward mood.

"Maybe." Berwald smirked taking off his glasses and putting them back. "G'night Tino." He said settling in.

"Night Ber." The Prince smiled.

"Night Hana." They said together.

The puppy barked happily then the three went back to sleep.
