- >You're lying in bed all alone, just like every night
- >You try to shut your eyes and pretend there's someone there with you
- >It doesn't work, you just have to face the fact that nobody likes you
- >You're just starting to drift off to sleep when you feel the bed shift
- >What the hell?
- >You live alone!
- >Oh fuck it, you're probably just imagining things
- >The bed springs back into its usual position
- >You're about to fall asleep again, but something warm presses against your bare back
- >You flinch
- >It feels furry AND feathery at the same time!
- >What the hell is in there with you?
- >You turn around
- >It's a gryphon
- >Oh fuck, is this gonna be how you die?
- >It's smiling at you
- >"Hey"
- "Uh... hey?"
- >He puts a talon around you and pulls you up against his chest
- >You hear something
- >He's purring!
- >Okay, you've gotta say something
- "W-who are you?"
- >"I'm Mike, silly."
- >He's wrapping his wings around you now
- >It feels nice
- >and warm too
- >so soft...
- >Wait, you can't get comfortable here! You need to get to the bottom of this!
- "I mean... uh... are you real?"
- >"You're asking some really weird questions. Are you feeling okay?"
- >He's pulled away from you now
- >From this angle, he almost looks like an old OC of yours
- >Is this a dream? Is he a tulpa? There's no way this is really happening.
- >But he feels real
- >And you never fell asleep
- >Maybe for now you can just enjoy this
- >You can ask questions later
- >You wrap yourself up in his wings and snuggle up
- >You fall asleep in his embrace
- >Morning comes
- >He's still there!
- >Does this mean he's real?
- >You hope so, he's a damn good cuddler
- >That rules out tulpas, he feels too solid
- >But then how is this real?
- >You notice he's already awake
- "Good morning, Mike!"
- >He runs a claw down your back
- >You can't help but shiver a little at his touch
- >He's being careful not to scratch you, but it still feels weird
- >"Hey, Anon."
- >Anon? That's not your name. At least not in real life.
- >This is just like one of those shitty greentext stories you read on /mlp/
- >You wonder what that might mean for you. Maybe this could be something great.
- >He grabs your head and gives you an uncomfortably long kiss
- >It's not that you mind all the attention, but you just met this guy.
- >You can deal with a little kissing for now, though
- >As long as he doesn't try anything more
- >When that's done, you both head out to the kitchen for some breakfast
- >He eats all the bacon and eggs you have
- >You're left with just oatmeal
- "So how did you get here, exactly?"
- >"I flew, duh."
- "No, I mean HERE. On EARTH."
- >"Oh, right." He stops to think for a moment. "Beats me."
- >He's as clueless as you are
- >You drill him for more information over the rest of the day
- >All he knows is that he appeared for you and that you two are "meant to be"
- >At least you won't be lonely
- >But you can't let anyone else know he exists
- >Who knows what that might cause?
- >Monday rolls around
- >You've got to go to work
- >Mike is sad that you can't take him outside
- >It's for his own good. People might react violently if they saw something like him.
- >You spend your whole day worrying about him
- >Work gets out
- >You rush home as fast as you can
- >He's there playing your old Game Boy
- >It's scratched to hell from his talons, but you don't really care
- >Those things are impossible to break
- >He's too focused on the game to hear you come in
- >You sneak up behind him
- "Pokémon, huh?"
- >Without missing a beat, he flips you over his back and traps you in a bear hug
- >"Anon! I missed you so much!"
- >He kisses you again
- >It's nice... but you still don't know him that well
- >And you've never been a big fan of clop anyway
- >Oh well, you'll play along
- >He gets a little frisky, though
- >You end up on his lap
- >He's pressing you down to his chest
- >You can deal with this
- >There's something else, though
- >Even through your uniform, you can feel something rise up between you
- >He's breathing pretty hard
- "Mike, what are y-"
- >"Shh, let's just enjoy this."
- >You don't want him like that
- >Not now
- >You push yourself away from him
- >He realizes what you're doing and lets you go
- "I don't... I'm not ready for something like that."
- >He looks crushed
- >"Don't you love me, Anon?"
- "I'm sorry, but no. I just met you."
- >Without another word, he slinks back to your bedroom
- >You didn't mean to upset him, but it's the truth
- >You should just give him some time
- >Maybe he'll come to terms with the fact that you don't like him like that
- >You're gay, of course, but not for gryphons
- >Certainly not for ones you've only known for a couple days
- >Still, there's something about Mike that you really like
- >Maybe it's the way he's always trying to impress you
- >Or how much he loves cuddling...
- >No. You can't have a relationship with your gryphon OC!
- >That's autistic as fuck, even if he's real now
- >Your train of thought is interrupted by a loud noise from your room
- >Oh shit, is he trashing the place?
- >You rush in there to see what's happening
- >He's buried his head under a pile of pillows on your bed
- >Nothing is broken, but he's knocked over your dresser
- >Quiet sobs come from Mike's pillow cocoon
- >That's it, you have to do something
- >You sit on the bed next to him
- >He notices you're there
- >He stops crying, but doesn't poke his head out
- >You hug him as hard as you can, running your fingers through his thick fur
- >He returns it
- >Maybe something good could come of this after all
- >But Mike is taking things so fast
- >You've never been in a real relationship.
- >It's just overwhelming you is all
- >Mike unwraps himself
- >"Anon, I'm so sorry. I didn't know you don't like me."
- >You move your hand to the back of his head, cradling him next to you
- "Don't be sorry. I-I really do like you. I just don't know how to make this work."
- >"But there's got to be some way! I really care about you, Anon."
- >It's weird how he's had such strong feelings for you this whole time
- >Almost as if he was created like that
- >Nah, you're just being stupid
- >Right now, all you have to do is comfort this gryphon
- >Wake up
- >You're lying in a disorderly pile of pillows and blankets
- >Mike's still asleep
- >He has you wrapped up in his wings again
- >You can hardly breathe under all these feathers
- >It smells like gryphon
- >Not bad, but not something you're too eager to keep smelling
- >You try to get out of his grasp
- >He just hugs you in tighter
- >You resign yourself to a morning of gryphon cuddling
- >Your alarm clock will go off soon enough, then you can go to work
- >For now, you nuzzle his furry chest
- >He's so fucking soft
- >You're really starting to enjoy sleeping with him
- >It's a nice change of pace having someone else in bed with you
- >Especially someone as cuddly as this giant catbird
- >You close your eyes and enjoy the closeness
- >The alarm goes off
- >It's "I Got You Babe" because you think you're so clever
- >Mike springs out of bed with you in his arms
- >"Whaddafuh- oh. Good morning, Anon!"
- >He kisses you again
- >You make a mental note to find out how he can kiss with a beak when you get home
- >Mike sets you down
- >You get ready and go to work
- >On the way home, you start thinking about things
- >Mike really likes you
- >You're starting to like him back
- >Maybe you should really give him a chance
- >You've got nothing to lose
- >That settles it. You'll tell him when you get home.
- >Walk inside
- >Mike's there in the kitchen
- >He appears to be grilling burgers for the two of you
- >ON THE STOVE
- >You stop him and clean everything up
- >He keeps apologizing
- >You keep telling him it's not his fault
- >He was trying to do something nice
- >You order a pizza
- >Rosati's, your favorite
- >Mike hides in the back while you pay the guy
- >You both wolf down as much pizza as you can, not even pausing to talk
- >Finally, you've both had your fill
- >It's time to come clean
- "Mike, I wanna tell you I'm sorry for rejecting you."
- >"Don't worry about it, man. I get it; you just aren't into me."
- >Awkward silence
- "But that's not true. I'm just now realizing it, but I really like you."
- >"You mean..."
- >You nod
- >He reaches over and hugs you
- >You bury your head in his feathers
- >There's no need to act like you don't enjoy this
- >You're not sure how long you sit there together
- >But wasn't long enough
- >You and Mike head over to the bedroom
- >Not for anything sexy
- >You just lie there together
- >He's elated beyond words that you've finally come around
- >You spend hours just talking and holding each other
- >Suddenly you're naked
- >He wraps his wings around you again
- >More passionately than ever
- >His feathers brush over your whole body
- >He's pressing you into his chest, just how you like it
- >It's so warm
- >And fluffy too
- >You run your fingers through his fur, trailing down his sides
- >Something changes
- >You feel little Mikey again
- >You're not ready to fuck him just yet
- "M-Mike? Can we wait a while to do this?"
- >"Uh... yeah. Of course."
- >He shifts a little to stop poking you in the gut
- "No, it's too cold for that. Come closer."
- >You pull his flanks back up against your own
- >Ah, nice and cozy again
- >You fall asleep before you even realize you're tired
- >At work the next day
- >You taught Mike how to use a phone
- >He promised he’d call you if anything happened
- >You’re still worried about leaving him home alone
- >But it’s not like people ever come over to your house
- >He’ll be fine.
- >Bored, but fine.
- >At least that’s what you told yourself until you got the call
- >Your heart skips a beat
- >You don’t get many calls anymore
- >It has to be him
- >You answer it
- “Mike?”
- >”A-anon? I guess this is working.”
- “Yeah. It’s working. What’s going on?”
- >”There are people in here, Anon! They’re talking about you!”
- >You just noticed that he’s talking in a whisper
- “Where are you right now?”
- >”In the back of the closet. Don’t worry, they won’t find me.”
- “Don’t worry, I’m on my way.”
- >You get up to find your boss
- >This is worth using a vacation day
- >”Mike, if push comes to shove… don’t let them hurt you.”
- >You get home as fast as you can
- >There’s a familiar car at the curb
- >Oh fuck, it’s your parents
- >Probably your bitch sister too
- >Why is your family here?
- >Well, only way to find out
- >You go inside, being careful not to reveal any emotion
- >Can’t let them think you’re hiding something
- >They’re all there in your kitchen
- >Sitting in a circle
- >Facing you
- >It’s like an intervention straight out of a TV show
- “Uh, hi? Why are you all here?”
- >Your dad points you to a seat
- >You sit there
- >You can feel them looking you over
- >Trying to find anything suspicious about you
- >”Son, we’re all really concerned about your recent behavior.”
- “Why’s that?”
- >”You know exactly why. You haven’t been returning calls, you’re not talking to your friends, and we think something’s up.”
- >Friends? What friends? You haven’t had friends since high school.
- >There’s a long pause, then your dad chimes in
- >”We’d like to look through your things together. But can you promise us we won’t find anything bad?”
- “Like what? Drugs? Dad, I’m not on drugs.”
- >”We’d like to believe that, but you’ve been acting really strange.”
- >You’ve got no choice
- >It’s not like you can just kick them out
- >Maybe you’ll get lucky and they won’t look in your closet
- >You lead them through your house
- >They check all your drawers and boxes
- >Your dad stumbles upon your box of sex toys, but that isn’t really concerning right now
- >All of them know you’re gay, even if you never actually told anyone
- >Still, dad gives you that sad look of disapproval when they see your Bad Dragon
- >Finally, they enter your bedroom
- >You just have to hope that Mike hid himself well
- >They check under your bed
- >On your nightstand
- >Your sister opens the closet
- >There’s a big pile of clothes in the corner
- >No gryphon to be seen
- >Good job, Mike
- >You just have to play it cool a little longer, then they’ll be satisfied
- >They finish quickly, and gather in a half-circle in front of you again
- >You mom talks this time
- >”I’m really sorry about this. We were worried it was heroin.”
- “Heroin? Mom, I don’t even drink.”
- >That’s not true, but you know there isn’t any booze in the house right now
- >It’ll make your argument sound better
- >It takes a while, but you get them to leave
- >You go straight into the closet to get Mike
- >He’s wide-eyed and breathing hard
- “Come here, I took care of everything.”
- >You pull him out of there and put him on the bed
- >The two of you spend almost every day there now
- >You even set up your computer right there
- >He curls up in his favorite spot atop a wad of spare blankets
- >It’s obvious he’s in a bad mood from all that shit
- >You need to make it up to him somehow
- >Somehow…
- >You run your fingers through his fur
- >He always likes that
- >He’s purring already
- >You pull him on top of you
- >His warm body drapes over yours
- >Mike nuzzles against your neck
- >He’s fucking adorable when he gets all cuddly
- >You just lie there and stroke him
- >His purrs vibrate through your whole body
- >They bring you both into a deep relaxation
- >You almost fall asleep right there
- >No, you’ve still got work to do
- >You roll over, putting Mike on his back
- >He whines, but you shut him up with a quick kiss
- >You move down between his hind legs
- >”Anon?”
- >You don’t reply
- >Your mouth is too busy now
- >”An- ooooh…”
- >You spend the rest of the night fooling around
- >You’ve got to admit, this relationship is turning out better than you expected
- >It’s all cuteness and cuddles, no bullshit
- >Mike really is wonderful
- >Just what you needed to pull you out of this slump
- >You're so grateful to have him here with you
- >You don't know what these feelings are
- >Love?
