Lance likes the taste of blood. Red understands, of course, since he feels exactly the same way. They eat hungrily, tearing through flesh with their teeth, and Red nuzzles Lance often, to let him know that he is happy.

After all, they managed to bring down a deer! Now they will have enough meat to last several days.

Lance snaps the bones in his claws, and Red happily accepts them, sucking the marrow out with a greedy smile. There is blood on his face and his paws, but he doesn’t care and later, Lance will groom him before mating him.

The meat is juicy in his mouth, and he happily crunches bits of bone with his teeth. Lance purrs, and licks his face.

Red finishes eating, and then they curl up next to each other. He is full and warm and his mate will protect him from the world.

This is Red’s definition of happiness.

Don’t do this to me! I wanted to write angst, but look! I did fluff!

… Yeah. The idea of people eating raw meat may be squick-worthy, but if you think about sushi as being raw fish…

(ZOOFIC INFORMATION)

Some Zoofic Information I have complied (I created this!)

Lance and Red are members of a species called ‘Champions’ who only mate with each other. Their pokemon are summoned as they acquire ‘shinies’ (gym badges) and grow older. Their pelt patterns also change then. Young Reds wear a blue pelt (jeans) and black pelt (black T-shirt), and as he grows older he acquires black hand-pelts (his electric-proof gloves), a red-and-white head pelt (League cap) and red-and-white outer pelt (red-and-white jacket). Young Lances were a pure black pelt (black bodysuit), and as they grow older, acquire the red and black pelt (red-and-black bodysuit of anime! Lance). Then, if they get evil enough or fierce enough, they grow a pure black pelt with a red over-pelt and a black pelt over that (manga! Lance attire with red jacket and black cape).

Lances hate Yellows. They are both predators but attack each other. Yellows will kill both Reds and Lances, though if they kill a Red that already has a Pikachu, they will steal it.

Lance’s partner pokemon is Dratini who soon evolves into Dragonair. Red’s partner pokemon is Poliwag who soon evolves into Poliwhirl.

Red is the one who carries the babies, though some strange reproductive process (MPREG?) and Lance has sharp claws and teeth that he hunts with. He provides food for his mate.

Brothers will mate each other.

Manga! Lance has healing powers and can communicate telepathically with pokémon, so that stays.
