Chapter 3

Burr awoke to soft chatter and gentle pets to his head. He wasn't expecting to see boys surrounding him when he woke up much less still be in his bear form, but that thought quickly changed with the warm feeling bubbling in his chest. He licked his wet nose black doh eyes glistening when a sweet smell wafted over making a rumble left his belly. Burr hadn't realized he was in someone's arms when a giggle vibrated his resting place, looking up he spotted one of the twins with soft pink eyes. It was Iker.

"Are you hungry? Zadoc said we can feed you milk but we had to ask you first," Iker asked with glittering eyes but all Burr did was make a small cry. The boys in the room looked at the grizzly cub silently coming to the conclusion his bear was more in control. "I'll put some maple syrup in it! I heard bears like that," Olive spoke as Burr felt his position being moved and sat on a kitchen counter. 

"Wait make sure to warm it up too," Nasir, Ikers older twin said passively with his arms crossed watching Olive stir the honey in the cup with narrowed eyes. Burr blinked licking his wet nose again before standing up on the counter and taking tiny steps to the source of the wonderful smell. He leaned impossibly forward sniffing the air greedily. "Don't fall!" Iker hurriedly put his hands on the bear's chest and back to steady the body. Burr only gave a simple cry in response and looked pleadingly at boy, claws resting on his chocolate skin.

"Ahhh he's so cute it hurts to watch," Iker covered his eyes as if he was being blinded and turned away from the cub. The grizzly simply huffed as he watched the cup be placed in the microwave instead of not going into his tummy.

"Don't worry Burr it'll be done soon," Olive called pressing buttons, with each beep of the button Burr perked quizzically at the sound giving a soft questionable cry. 

"When do you think he'll change back?" Nasir asked as Joel shrugged pulling at Burr's ear making the bear nudge his hand to stop. "I don't know when he wants to probably," Olive interjected while Iker also came over tugging at his other ear wanting to get his attention. 

Burr grew agitated with their play and with a huff cried loader, usually, a cry to attract the mother bear which wasn't around. Instead of getting a mom to come though, Zadoc strolled into the kitchen, "what are you boys doing? Don't hurt the cub." Zadoc pulled the boy's hands away glaring sharply at them, a rally of laughed left the boys in the kitchen as Joel held his belly seemingly unable to stop laughing at the situation. Zadoc only looked at them confused as the microwave beeped.

Out popped a cup of maple syrup milk, Burr held his hands out to the liquid wanting to drink the delicious scented smell. "Calm down it needs to cool off first," Zadoc held the greedy hands. Olive gave a goofy smirk as he blew on the milk, "it should be fine now," he said.

Zadoc narrowed his eyes at him with a knowing look, only Olive shrugged with a mischievous grunt handing the cup to Burr. 

It was the wrong action to do as the cub held the cup barely on his paws and shoved his whole snout into the cup. It was quickly taken from him earning a cryful shout, "I'll feed him," unexpectedly Nasir hurriedly picked up the cub and half ran out of the kitchen as the other boys complained and acted on the chase because they also wanted to feed him! Burr blinked and suddenly wasn't in the kitchen nor living room space, instead, it was a room assumingly Nasir's.

Burr heard a hum leave his chest as he sat down on his bed positioning Burr into a cradle-like position. "They'll be sure to hate me later," he laughed blue eyes glowing with thrill and black hair blending in with the dimmed room. Burr just gave a cry for the milk to which Nasir gladly provided. When the milk entered his mouth it tasted so sweet like the smell of honeysuckles and the warm space of a cozy bed. Burr had never tasted it before, the cub started to purr as soft motor sounds chuffed out his throat. 

Nasir seemed surprised as he watched the cub in interest, he really liked this cub. It would be his! But with his classmates around maybe it'll just be 'ours.' Nasir sulked at the thought but enjoyed the little time he had with the bear.

Since the milk was in a cup most of it didn't make it into the greedy mouth of Burr but onto his fur. When it was all gone and the cub licked all traces of the milk inside the cup his belly bulged with fullness as burr licked his lips clean. 

The bear who was resting in bliss suddenly jerked up from Nasir's grip making him frown. The cub that looked so cute and innocent suddenly had murderous eyes as he turned back towards Nasirs gaze. Nasir didn't feel intimidated at all by the cub as he just gave a lopsided grin and picked some pajamas he had from a dresser. 

"Zadoc said you only had two pairs of clothing so I'm giving you some old pajamas I don't wear, here." The cub still stood like a little human with anger on his face the best a bear can imitate. When the clothing was in his view his paws clamped together like a clap and waddled to the door holding them in front of himself. Nasir gave a small smile as he opened the door and watched the little bear march down the hall like a little soldier his little bunny tail swaying with his awkward human-like pace that didn't fit well with a bear.

Burr didn't exactly know where he was going but he sure did snap out of it after his meal. His cub was in control most of the time probably because he was hungry. Eventually, Burr found another bathroom and quickly closed the door to shift back into a human. He didn't want to accept the pajamas that were offered by Nasir but didn't want to be rude and plus he fed him, the least he could do was wear some old pajamas. Shifting back to human Burr sighed realizing...he didn't have underwear, but that's okay he'll get his bag back eventually and maybe a room! The pajamas were some sweat pants that he could easily strap on but tying the laces just ended up into a big knot. The sweats were long so he curled them up to about his ankle moving on to the shirt which had.....hearts on it. It was kinda big too but not as much as the pants.

When he got done changing he rubbed his full belly before walking out of the bathroom, the milk earlier really was delicious making him full immediately after consumption so currently, he wasn't hungry anymore. Thinking about the events made his face blossom red and when he looked in one of the mirrors in the hall he found his bear features out again! He tried making them go away but they didn't so he just defeatedly walked out. He needed his room so Burr walked the halls trying to find the presence of any life or activity. 

But it was for naught. He couldn't find anyone and just got more lost the more stairs and halls he turned to. From the outside of this building, it didn't look that big so what's all this room for? There are only four students so isn't this a bit much? Burr sat down on a rug defeated once again and his legs hurt. He closed his eyes and simply nodded off...

"Burr?"

Burr jerked awake looking for where the voice had come from, it was Olive! He coughed before standing up wiping his clothes from invisible dust.

"I-I got lost, can you show me my room?" Burr mumbled embarrassed from earlier and now. Olive smiled like that was the best thing anyone ever said to him and took his hand proudly. "Alright, I'll show you. I've been looking for Nasir for some time now though but he's off my radar cause he knows what's coming for him from his earlier actions." Burr looked confused as he watched Olive's smile turn a little malicious but Burr didn't say anything thinking maybe he's mad. Olive glanced at Burr a while later wondering why he's so quiet, he was a buzzing bee as a cub.

"Can I ask you something?" Burr didn't like the silence and caught Olives gaze.

"Sure"

"E-erm... what's..uh your favorite color?" Burr wanted to facepalm as he realized he didn't know what he was doing and said something a grade-schooler would say to make a friend. Olive smiled as he thought.

"I like...black, sky blue, and apricot brown."
