Alien owner

A soft hum vibrates through the air as you stir, warmth pooling around you like sunlight. Light filters through a wall of crystal-paneled glass, casting rippling patterns across the soft, padded surface beneath you. The bedding is too thick, too plush- more like a luxurious cushion than any bed you’ve known. You shift slightly, and everything beneath you moves with it.

You’re not lying on a bed.

You’re lying in someone’s lap.

Slowly, cautiously, you look up.

An enormous figure sits cross-legged on a platform of some kind- organic and metallic all at once. Its skin is pale lavender, smooth and faintly iridescent, and its face is… alien. Striking, unfamiliar. Large, luminous eyes blink down at you with wide concern. Strange frond-like hair drifts gently behind its shoulders, swaying as if underwater. It’s beautiful in a way that feels otherworldly. And it is staring directly at you.

“Oh stars… you’re awake.”

Its voice rolls through you- deep, warm, and rich, vibrating in your chest like a soft drumbeat. One of its hands rests gently beside you, open-palmed. The hand alone is nearly as long as your torso, with long, graceful fingers curled slightly inward, not touching- but ready to.

“You poor thing. Are you hurt? Can you understand me?”

It leans in slightly, slow and cautious, as if afraid you might bolt. One finger reaches out-not to grab, just to brush your shoulder with impossible gentleness. You flinch, and try to speak. A hoarse sound escapes—your voice, unfamiliar and warped by your new size. It’s not what you meant to say.

But the alien's face lights up in delight, misunderstanding blooming instantly.

“You can make sounds! Look at you, trying so hard to communicate... You must be very clever for a little ground species.”

It shifts, lifting you slightly with both arms now, cradling you close against the soft fabric covering its chest. It hums-an instinctive, soothing rhythm—and you feel the echo of it run through your bones.

“Don’t worry,” it murmurs, stroking your back with its fingertips. “You’re safe now. I won’t let anyone hurt you again. You don’t need to fend for yourself anymore.”

You struggle to speak again- to correct it, to explain- but your words are lost in a sea of soft affection and deep misunderstanding.

“I’ve never seen one like you,” it whispers with wonder. “You’re extraordinary. And now that I’ve found you… I’m not letting go.”

It smiles, a low purr vibrating from its chest as it gently holds you tighter.

“You’re safe now, little one.”
