On the corner of the street was a cardboard box. “TAKE ME” was written with black marker onto it. Inside was a small neko, either rather young or just small for its age. His fur brown, with blond spots in it, and clothes already a little ragged.
He laid curled up, not wanting for anyone to pay attention to him, even though he’d die alone out here. He was afraid of people, and what they could do to him.Host just whimpered quietly. No one had ever not hurt him, people had always been mean to him. Using him and hurting him, he was always hurt in one way or another. He was afraid to even try and trust anyone.
Ray hummed softly to calm him down carrying the box with the small neko. When he arrived home he gently placed the box near a couch. The house smelled like cinnamon and chocolate. The demon moved to look inside the box to see how the neko was feeling
Host stayed still the entire time he was being carried in his box. He was cold, mostly from his clothes being thin and ragged, so he was still shivering when Ray set the box down and looked at him.
He was still curled up, ears and tail close to his body, and eyes, slightly squeezed, shut. He couldn’t believe someone nice wanted him.
