It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining but the air was cool, making it easier to be outside. Jungkook stared at where Bambi and Daejung were sitting in the backyard, a blanket laid out on the grass and food set out in front of them. Taehyung had suggested a picnic for them and when they’d agreed, they all made sandwiches together in the kitchen.It kinda threw a wrench in Jungkook’s plan. He’d wanted to take advantage of the nice weather to spend some time with Bambi, but now he would have to wait until they finished eating.Ever since they took in Bambi, Jungkook had been… Worried.With hunters constantly on the look out for wild Hybrid’s and with everything Bambi had seen, he needed some way to protect himself.Jungkook knew how to fight, he’d taught himself. But he hadn’t worked a lot on self-defence, but after a bit of reading, it wasn’t too far off from what he knew.But he also knew Daejung wouldn’t really like the idea of Bambi learning to fight from Jungkook, someone twice his size. But there weren’t many options.Glancing back outside, Jungkook saw Bambi setting the plates off to the side, the two of them now laying back on the grass, talking about who knows what.“You’ve been watching them for the past half hour. What’s going on?” Hoseok’s voice startled Jungkook, arms looping around his waist. Jungkook bit his lip as he turned his head to look at Hoseok, fluffy white ears twitching.“I want to teach Bambi how to fight,” Jungkook started, staring outside at the two Hybrids. “He needs it. But I don’t want Daejung to know, so can you and Tae like… Distract him…?”He heard a sigh as Hoseok let go of him and he turned to see Hoseok’s reaction. The older was typing something on his phone before he put it in his pocket.“We’ll go grocery shopping, I guess,” Hoseok smiled up at Jungkook, reaching out to hold his hand. “You better not hurt Bambi.”“What?! I’m not gonna like, punch him!” Jungkook’s eyes widened, his ears lowering. “He’s gonna punch me! You should be worried for me!”The two smiled at each other, turning away when Taehyung stepped into the kitchen.“So why are we going shopping?” He asked, leaning in to press a kiss to both of their cheeks.“Jungkook wants Daejung out of the house so he can teach Bambi to fight,” Hoseok hummed, only getting a shrug from Taehyung in response.“Okay, let’s go get Daejung then,” Taehyung hummed, making his way outside, his boyfriends following behind him. Jungkook made sure to grab the small bag of clothes he had sitting on the counter before he left the house. “Daejung! Hey, sweetie, we’re going shopping, come on!” Taehyung called as he walked closer to the two. Daejung rolled onto his stomach and turned toward Taehyung.“Didn’t you just go yesterday?” He asked, head tilted to the side, small white ears twitching. Taehyung turned to look at them for a moment, eyes wide and panicked.“Not grocery shopping, Tae. Clothes shopping,” Hoseok was quick to correct, turning to smile at Daejung. “You’re outgrowing your clothes so quickly, we need to get you some new ones.”Daejung blinked and nodded slowly, standing up. Bambi followed behind him, standing as well, tapping his little hooves on the grass.“Is it okay if I stay here?” He asked, a bit timidly. They all knew that Bambi hated being anywhere with lots of people, which is basically the only thing to get Bambi and Daejung to leave each others side.“Yeah, I’ll stay here with you,” Jungkook smiled at Bambi, glad that their plan worked.“Okay, its settled! Come on, sweetie! I’ll get Sungjin and then we’ll head out!” Taehyung took Daejung’s hand, Hoseok following them into the house. When the door closed, Jungkook sighed and his shoulders slumped. Bambi seemed to eyeing him a bit strangely as he sat on the picnic blanket again.“Okay, I wanted Daejung gone for this,” Jungkook murmured as he came and sat on the grass, still a few feet away from Bambi. “You’re seen as a Prey Hybrid and people will try to hurt you… You need to learn to protect yourself.” Jungkook tried to speak in a way that wouldn’t scare Bambi away from the idea.“I know how to protect myself,” Bambi rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest.“Biting and kicking will only get you so far, Bambi,” Jungkook sighed, reaching into the small bag he had. “I mean actually protecting yourself. I’m going to teach you to fight.”The mention of this seemed to peak Bambi’s interest his ears perking a bit as he watched Jungkook’s movements. After a moment, Jungkook pulled a small shirt out of the bag, holding it out to Bambi.“Change into this. It’s best if you don’t wear loose clothes for this,” Jungkook smiled as he stood up, stripping off his own loose shirt, reaching into the bag to grab his own shirt. He saw Bambi staring at him like he was crazy, holding the shirt to his chest. “Oh, come on. Do you want me to turn around?”“Um, yeah! I have some decency!” Bambi exclaimed. Jungkook rolled his eyes as he turned around, pulling on his fitted tank top. “Alright, it’s on…”Jungkook turned around, giving a small smile when he saw Bambi looking a bit uncomfortable in the tighter shirt, pulling at the fabric.“Don’t worry, you don’t have to wear it long. Just for while you’re learning.” Bambi nodded in response, helping Jungkook to clear away everything in the area, giving them lots of room.Jungkook gave Bambi a small smile and a thumbs up before he took a couple steps back.“Okay, so a good place to start is where you want to hit. Say someone grabs you, you need to figure out first where to hit to get them off,” Jungkook explained, trying to think back to specific points of self-defence he’d learned. “There are four spots that are a lot more effective. First, knees. I’d recommend going for the side of the knee, since it will cause them to buckle. If you can’t reach the side for any reason, the front should still work. Now come here and kick the side of my knee.”“Wait, like… Actually?” Bambi asked hesitantly as he stepped closer. Jungkook nodded and reached out, grabbing Bambi’s wrists. He made sure to not hold too tight, but enough that Bambi couldn’t move his hands away. For a moment, panic filled his eyes, but Jungkook made sure to keep eye contact, letting Bambi know that he was safe.“You’ll want to go for a move your legs can reach if someone is holding your arms. Now go ahead, kick me. Use the sole of your hoof. If you use the top, it could hurt you more than your attacker.”Bambi pulled at his arms, just making sure that he can’t get his arms free before he pulled his leg back and kicked his hoof into Jungkook’s knee, causing the Bunny to buckle, falling to the ground. He winced, but smiled up at Bambi soon after, nodding.“That’s it, you did really well!” He encouraged, watching the Deer light up. “Now, we aren’t going to test this one out, but I will tell you about it. You have one other spot that’s good to kick.” Jungkook stood up and looked down at Bambi. “If someone is holding your arms, you can also kick their… Um, you know…” Jungkook gestured down, eyebrows pulled together. “Like, if a guy grabs you…”“Kick him in the dick?” Bambi questioned, a smirk on his lips. Jungkook sighed, but nodded, not very surprised that Bambi said it so easily.“Yes, it’s a good option. Next, it is someone grabs you, but you can still use your arms. Say they grab your shirt or your shoulder,” Jungkook explained. “You have two spots you can go for here. The… I don’t remember the name…” Jungkook sighed, pointing to the centre of his ribs, just below his chest. “This spot isn’t protected by your ribs, I guess, and it will wind your opponent. Last spot is the nose. It’s easy to break a nose and if you need to, do it.”Bambi nodded as Jungkook grabbed the front of Bambi’s shirt, curling his fingers into the thin fabric.“Now you can still move your hands. I was you to punch me here,” Jungkook pointed at the spot on his ribs. Bambi curled his hand into a fist and the next thing Jungkook knew, he was kneeling on the ground, coughing, having trouble catching his breath. He held up a hand to let Bambi know he was okay and to just give him a moment.Once he could breath again, Jungkook sat back on his heels, letting out a slow breath, nodding.“Yeah, just like that… Holy shit, you’ve got a good punch,” he couldn’t help but laugh as he looked at Bambi.“Thanks…” Bambi giggled softly, a sound that Jungkook wasn’t used to hearing. He smiled at the younger and straightened, not standing up.“Now to hit the nose, you’ll probably need to knock someone down, if they’re my height, that is. Normally, I would suggest just using a fist or the heel of your palm. You’re going to want to punch the tip of their nose, angling it up if you can,” Jungkook took Bambi’s hand and brought it to his nose, showing the younger the proper hand position. “But you do have the option to use your head as well. If you use this spot on your forehead,” Jungkook gently tapped the centre of Bambi’s forehead, close to his hairline. “You’ll be able to do a good amount of damage. I’m just not sure if your antlers would get in the way, once they’re bigger, they might.”“Or they could take someone’s eye out,” Bambi smiled, shrugging. Jungkook laughed and nodded.“This is true,” He smiled as he stood up, backing away. “Now let’s go through that. First, you’ll want to try and punch if your arm is free. If you can’t, go for the knees. Once they’re down, you can go for the nose, or you can run. You choose.”Jungkook stepped toward Bambi and took his arm, grabbing the other wrist when the younger was about to punch his chest. Bambi was quick to put a lot of his weight on where Jungkook was holding him, giving him more leverage to kick at Jungkook’s knee.When his knees buckled, Jungkook’s grip loosened on the Deer’s wrists, but he noticed Bambi didn’t pull his hands away. Instead, he watched as Bambi reared his head back before slamming his head into Jungkook’s nose.Now, he hadn’t been expecting Bambi to actually hit him, but he wasn’t mad that he had. He could tell his nose wasn’t broken but as he laid back on the grass, staring up at the blue sky, he could feel hot liquid rolling down to his lip. He lifted a hand to wipe the blood from his nose, sitting up to look at Bambi. The younger had his hands covering his mouth, his eyes wide.“Should I not have hit you…?” Bambi asked, eyes staring at the red covering Jungkook’s hand. The Bunny shook his head, a smile on his lips as he gently reached out to Bambi. The Deer hesitantly walked toward him and Jungkook wrapped his arms around the boy, hugging him close to his chest.“You did great… I’m so proud of you…” Jungkook whispered, resting his forehead on Bambi’s shoulder. At first, the Deer was a bit stiff, unsure of what to do, but soon enough, he wrapped his arms around Jungkook’s shoulders, a small laugh leaving his lips. “They’re never going to hurt you again… I promise…”They stayed like that for a moment, but after a moment, Jungkook pulled back, smiling at the Deer.“Now, we probably have about half an hour left. Let’s go over it a bit more.”
