[ Flynn cranes his fluffy head back and upside-down, trying to see Yuri's face properly. There's sincerity in his voice, and his hands are hovering like he wants to put them back down, and it really did feel nice...
No, I-- I like it too. [ Wow is that hard to admit, but Flynn can get it now. Right? He can get it, now that he wants it, too. ] I think it comes with the whole familiar thing. Liking being pet.
[ He sounds like a petulant child, a little bit, but that's only because he's held himself back from reaching up and scratching Yuri's ears countless times now. This whole time, he could have been coaxing that deep purring out of Yuri? This whole time?
Because it's weird! And it was weirder, before. [ Before they started hooking up. Before they were boyfriends. ] You can do it now. If you want to. When we're alone. Okay?
So you do think it's weird that I want you to pet me!
[ Yuri listen this is all a lot of new feelings for him and he's so confused and still trapped as a dog, sort of whining high and nervous as he shuffles back off Yuri's lap and presses his paws into the dirt like punctuation. ]
[ He can't say any of this right, and rubs a hand over his face, refocusing on the problem at hand ]
Okay, okay, let's get you back. First, you're gonna need to calm down, alright? Deep breaths. Then think about being human. Your human body with hands and no paws and a nose instead of a snout. Think about that.
[ Okay. Okay, Scifo, focus, you can do this. Don't think about Yuri's hands in your fur and how blissful that felt, don't think about fur or being low to the ground or paws or a tail.
Human. Focus on being human.
He shifts, without quite noticing, just a little closer to Yuri.
His normal self, with a nose, and hands, and fingers.
Slowly, his breathing calms. Yuri being nearby is helping, somehow. He feels more grounded, maybe. He thinks about his fingers curling around the hilt of his sword, and when he opens his eyes his fingers are there in the dirt, pale and furless and very human.
[ It's strange, watching Flynn shift. He can't quite see the moment when it happens, because there, right in front of him, is Flynn again, human and familiar. He smiles, bobbing his head ]
There he is. Good. I bet it'll be easier next time.
When have I ever shifted naked? [ Yuri laughs, shaking his head. Flynn is so... cute. Maybe it's the ears. It's probably the ears. He really doesn't want to think about that. ]
[ That is... so cute. Flynn is so weirdly modest sometimes, and Yuri's cheeks feel hot and he's smiling and he's so in love with this idiot with adorable dog ears ]
Y'know, I could have just let you in the house. Then you could have shifted and no one would see you.

He winces at the paw and holds up his hands in apology ]
Sorry. Was that too weird? I... really liked that.

Flynn huffs around squirming embarrassment. ]
Isn't it a little weird for me to... like that?

Flynn twists properly on his lap, fast enough to whip his tail into Yuri's thigh. ]
You like it?
[ This is more demand than question. ]
no subject
Yes. Maybe. Sometimes. I like it sometimes.

[ Admitted in a little huff as Flynn picks himself up and dusts off the knees of his pants. His tail flicks through the dirt. ]
As I was trying to change, I kept worrying that I wouldn't turn back with my clothes, and then I'd have to stop trying in case it happened.
[ That's right: Flynn anxietied himself out of being able to shift back. Good job, bud. ]
