Neko Host AU ~ Open starter ~
Host was curled up in the corner of his kennel, as far away from the corridor as he could. He was a rescue from a very terrible owner, who had abused him badly. He was afraid of everyone, and blind on top of that.
So no one wanted him, of course. Most people wanted the cute nekos, the younger ones. The ones who loved to play and cuddle. But Host, he was afraid of being touched, he barely even spoke. He was so stuck in his habits from being abused, that living was so hard, that someone had to make sure he even ate. Because he was stuck on thinking he needed permission. And that was just one of the many things wrong with him.
Daniel was at the shelter, looking at all the neko’s. He noticed most were all sweet and loving, rubbing against people’s hands and purring. Most were shying away from him, due to his appearance. He was 6’7, and a strong man. He worked out in order to keep himself strong, but had a small weakness for Neko’s. He was a kind man, but most people saw him as… not one.
He walked to the end of the line, pausing and tilting his head as he peered into it. There was a slightly older neko in it. His eyes were milky and he had several scars on him. It made Daniel hurt inside and clench his fists at what could have caused such wounds.
A young woman wearing a blue apron walked up to him. She was smiling until she looked at his fists and then at the hiding Neko. “Sir… he won’t be a good therapy Neko.”
Host heard the worker talk about him, making him cower away even further, if that was even possible. He didn’t like people, he didn’t want to be around people. He was afraid of people, really. And everyone knew that.
His owner had gotten arrested, which was just lucky for him. Possession and spreading of child and mostly neko pornography. Host had just been his victim for it, his toy, and Host didn’t know anything else. All his life he had been mistreated and abused, and most of it had been from the mentioned owner.
