Dean has this… bad habit in Brothers Divided… where he tries to ‘adopt’ smols that don’t want to be adopted…

Jacob might end up with a pocketmate.

One who’s especially squeaky and timid, and honestly? Jacob would kind of understand why Dean got the urge to protect the little guy. Oscar has a very Adopt Me kind of aura and very few people are immune to it. Dean doesn’t stand any more chance of resisting than Oscar does of avoiding the pocket.
