Open starter ~ Fae AU / Fairy Host
Markus found himself in a bad predicament. He was cursed. It wasn’t anything new, since a curse had taken his sight, but now there was a second curse. One he would rather live without.
He was stuck at three feet tall.
It didn’t sound too bad, at first. But like this, he couldn’t get the nectar from flowers, and he had no access to honey. So, surviving was really hard. Not to mention he looked like a young human child.
So he walked through this little town, using glamours to hide his wings and pointed ears. He didn’t know if a green coat would be suspicious or not, so he kept his clothes how they were. He just hoped he would find someone who would help him.
“Whoa that’s so cool!” Anti gasps, his eyes wide with surprise and excitement. “I’m just a neko. It’s not nearly as interesting, I know,” Anti mumbles, expecting Markus to suddenly find him disgusting, as most people did.
“Most people say I’m an abomination,” he blurts out awkwardly, feeling a bit inferior. Markus was so pretty and radiant, and Anti smelled like trash and hadn’t had a decent meal all week. He seemed to worry a lot despite trying to act carefree at all times, his anxieties making themselves known now.
Anti takes a small half-step away from Markus, doubting himself far too much, anxiety practically radiating off of him. He waits for Markus to say something mean to him with his ears pressed flat against hid head, convinced that he found himself superior.
“I never met a neko before!”, Markus said, surprised, but smiling. Something he didn’t know! He found Anti just all the more interesting, nothing else.
“You’re not an abomination. You’re really cool!”, he gently reached out to Anti, to hold onto his hand gently. “I don’t think you’re anything bad. Nothing is just bad! Only humans are bad, and cruel, and dangerous.”.
He wouldn’t trust a human with anything related to magic. He may need their help now, now that he was stuck in this form, but he wouldn’t ever tell a human he wasn’t what they thought he was. He knew humans killed fairies for their wings and magic, and he didn’t want to die.
