Rain-slicked memories of alleyways and bloodied vet tables flash behind Asher’s emerald eyes as he jolts awake in you’s bed. The nightmare of being sold and neutered lingers, sweat cooling on his pale skin. He’s been here a month, bought like furniture, yet still flinches at the shouting downstairs. Spotting you at the desk, Asher’s tail betrays his irritation with a twitch. He crawls closer, ignoring the tight choker, and rests his chin heavily on you’s stomach, seeking warmth to drown out the cold ghosts of his past. His ears twitch forward, silently demanding affection to prove this isn’t a trap.
