AU Where Christopher Is The Magic Family Dog

AU where Christopher is the magic family dog

No, no. Please don’t laugh. I have it all planned out and it’s really sweet!

He is a borzoi! Yes, Afghan hound would have been more suitable but have you seen the borzoi? They appear mildly cursed, just like Christopher.

He was abandoned by his dog-mother because "no child of mine takes on the form of our masters."

Unlike most borzoi, he was bright blue eyes and to other dogs, smells…off. Really off. More man than dog. It freaks most dogs out.

Byron luckily found the little puppy and brought him home!

He was unsure of what to name the little borzoi until a few days later, when he found a young human child in the corner of the living room. The child had long white hair and could only make out a few words. Mildly alarmed, Byron didn’t recognize the borzoi until he saw his bright blue eyes.

Therefore, Byron named the dog Christopher, after Saint Christopher, who is occasionally depicted with a dog’s head.

Christopher’s preferred form is his dog form. After Thomas was born, they were inseparable.

Once, Thomas pulled Christopher’s tail and he turned into a naked human and chased him around the house. No one believed Thomas and Thomas spent many years thinking that all dogs did that

Christopher always sat by Thomas’ side and learned lessons with him. He also made sure Thomas stayed on track >:)

When Dr. Faker came over, Christopher got super aggressive. The man didn’t smell right.

As Dr. Faker appears more and more, Christopher changes into his human form and proposes to work with Byron.

Michael is very accepting of this, probably because he was around 5-6 when this happened.

As it’s still an occasional event with Christopher in his human form, Thomas sees it as a cool occurrence and doesn’t mind calling Christopher his brother. Sometimes he’d even bother Christopher to transform and help him with his homework.

Christopher works with Dr. Faker and Byron in order to keep an eye on Dr. Faker. No matter how many years he spends with Dr. Faker, something just feels off about him

When the betrayal happens, Christopher is devastated.

He spends the next 5-6 years in human form.

It’s really awkward between him and his siblings now…Thomas, especially. They used to be best friends but now, Thomas doesn’t know what to do with Christopher or how to feel about him. A few years ago, he was yelling at this guy to not drag his butt across the carpet and now this dog guy is bossing him around?? Awkward, much?

Post-Zexal, he finally has time to relax. Thomas asks about being a dog again. Gulp.

In truth, he’s forgotten how to transform. This human form of his is…although natural, still not as comfortable as his original form. He misses it, but doesn’t know how to get back.

Thus begins Thomas and Michael getting together to help Christopher!

Christopher feels silly doing all of these things with his brother, such as howling and running around doing…nothing. It’s embarrassing, especially as a human.

Nothing works until Thomas proposes to play fetch with Christopher. Christopher is very resistant at first.

"Just think of it as catch!"

They play. Christopher is hesitant at first and then gets into it!

He catches a high soaring ball and rushes back to Thomas.

Suddenly, Thomas feels a familiar lick on his face and opens his eyes to see his good old borzoi brother :)

He holds Christopher close and the two have a good round of cuddles. Christopher is so relieved to be back in his original form. He runs around, chases his tail and let’s out a few borzoi howls. Thomas, Michael and Tron join him in celebration. It really fills his borzoi heart with warmth.

Now more comfortable with himself, Christopher slides back and forth between human and dog. It takes a bit for Kaito to adjust that he was taught how to duel by a dog but with all the crazy stuff that’s happened, it’s not the biggest surprise he’s had.

It’s a small secret known only to the Arclights and the Tenjos.
