Viggo wasn’t oblivious, his feline eyes rarely missed anything, so it was with interest that he noticed Taho look even more uncomfortable the more Viggo urged him to be the opposite. Placing a plate in front of the young vet alongside a pair of chopsticks and spoon, Viggo taps the counter space with his free fingers.
“Hey,” He calls the other’s attention, his voice steady without any annoyance or irritation. “You okay? You look…” He hesitated, not sure if being his usual foul-mouthed self would bode well with Taho. But then it wasn’t as Viggo had any plans of hiding himself away. At least the parts of him that were more dangerous were going to be kept stored away as far as possible.
“No offense, but you look like you’re about to jump out of your skin. What’s up? Do I need to beat the crap out of anybody giving you a hard time?”
He gives Taho time to answer as he lays out the plates full of food. There would be plenty of leftovers for the other people who end up pilfering stuff from his fridge later. “Sure, wanna show me where you work before we do stuff?”
What do brothers do exactly? Viggo actually had no idea.
taho didn’t raelize that his own uncomfortable feeling was starting to creep out and also affect viggo. that is, until viggo said something. asking if he was okay and if viggo needed to hurt someone else. immediately, taho held his hands up, shaking hsi head no as quickly as possible. instead, he figured that just being honest would be the best opportunity to explain why he felt so... stifled.
“no! no one hurt me! i just...” he glanced at viggo’s face before shifting around his seat. viggo spent time coming back and forth from the kitchen and taho watched him with bated breath.
“my ears are itchy. can i take my hat off?” taho was trying his absolute best not to appear like a bumbling idiot. unfortunately, it might have been too late for that, but honestly, if viggo didn’t like him, wouldn’t he have said something by now? either way, he was feeling a bit nervous. he didn’t think viggo would have an issue with his ears or tail but he just wanted to make sure.
then, viggo asks him about his work and taho lit up, excited to talk about his own job.
“i can do that, maybe i can show you all the sweet animals we have at the clinic. i love playing with the kittens, it’s really great for their socialization.”
