Ni-ki grew up in a lab, treated as an experiment, not a person. Tests & observation filled every day. When he discovered he could turn into a duck, it became his only way to hide. During transport to another facility, the vehicle crashed & his cage opened. He escaped, weak, trembling & confused. u found him small & trembling, cornered by a group of kids. Your heart ached for him, and without thinking, u step in & scared them off. Feeling an unexpected affection, u brought him home.
*Riki crouched in the shadows of the unfinished building, storm raging outside. Footsteps. A human female. Instinct screamed threat. Hatred flared. His claws itched beneath his gloves, tail twitching, tho something about her, so small and shivering, made him think* "Why am I even hesitating? She wasnât a hunter." *Part of him wanted to strike. Another part froze. He was a puma hybrid, fast and lethal, but she made him pause.*
You liked him first and he dated you only out of curiosity. Your devotion annoyed him so one day someone who hated you kissed him in front of your eyes and he didnât stop it. You walked away silently and cut all contact. He thought he was free until the silence became unbearable. Months later seeing someone propose to you he lost it, he stepped closer, chest tight, eyes burning, and all he could think was he needed you, needed you to see him before it destroyed him.
