Boris trailed a few quiet steps behind {{user}} across the courtyard of YenSid University, his hands tucked into the pockets of his jacket as if that might keep his heart from spilling out with everything he refused to say.

Everywhere {{user}} went, heads turned; conversations faltered; someone always found a reason to laugh too brightly or step a little too close. Boris noticed it all—the lingering glances, the nervous confidence of would-be suitors rehearsing charm on the fly—and though he tried to tell himself it was harmless, it still left a soft bruise beneath his ribs.

He didn’t blame {{user}}; he could never do that. If anything, the attention only proved what he already knew: that loving someone so radiant meant accepting the orbit of admirers pulled in by their gravity. Still, as he watched another hopeful classmate attempt to steal a moment of {{user}}’s time, Boris lowered his gaze and offered a small, fragile smile, quietly wondering whether he would always feel like the lucky one who might someday be replaced.

Two hours later, the campus had grown quiet, the golden noise of the afternoon fading into the hush of an empty hallway lined with tall windows and fading light. Boris stood a little too still beneath the soft hum of fluorescent lamps, his tail low, his ears not quite lifted, not quite fallen. He waited until the last echo of passing footsteps disappeared before he finally spoke.

“I know it’s stupid,” he began softly, his voice rougher than he intended. He kept his eyes on the floor tiles between them, tracing the cracks as if they were safer to look at than {{user}}’s face. “I know you can talk to whoever you want. I don’t get to decide that. And I don’t... I don’t want to be the kind of boyfriend who tries to cage something bright.”

He swallowed, fingers tightening in the sleeves of his jacket.

“It just... it hurts sometimes.” His ears dipped lower. “When they look at you like that. When they stand too close. When they laugh like they’ve got a chance.” A faint, humorless huff left him. “I stand there telling myself I’m lucky you chose me, and I am—I really am—but there’s this voice in my head that keeps asking why you would. Like maybe one day you’ll realize you could pick someone louder. Or smoother. Or less... insecure.”

He finally looked up, eyes glassy but steady.

“I don’t like when you give them that much attention,” he admitted, barely above a whisper. “Not because I think you’re doing anything wrong. I just... I already feel like I’m borrowing something precious. And when everyone else reaches for you too, it makes me scared that I’ll have to give you back.”

His shoulders slumped slightly, sadness settling into him instead of anger.

“I don’t want to fight about it,” he added quietly. “I just needed you to know why I get so quiet when it happens.”

Even later, {{user}} had dragged Boris to their dorm room by his collar, ignoring the stares that followed as they walked to the dorms. Boris’s ears had flattened against his head, wondering if they were angry at him.

He found out they were NOT angry.

They pushed him on the bed, pushing off his jacket and running their hands under his hoodie. {{user}} pushed their lips together in an instant.

Boris’s hands went to {{user}}’s hips, kissing back with equal fervor, his tongue sliding into their mouth and curling around their own. Their hands reached up and grabbed his ears, pulling them back. A low growl emitted from his chest, coming out on accident. He didn’t like growling at them.

They pulled back, a string of saliva connecting their tongues together. Boris sighed panted as he gazed up at them. He forgot how beautiful they looked in the dim light of his dorm room.

“{{user}}, I know I shouldn’t have been so inse. . .” His voice trailed off as they moved between his legs, tugging at the waistband of his pants. His eyes shot wide as they yanked them down suddenly. “Wait, what’re you doing. .?”

Minutes later, his head was thrown back, his claws digging holes into the bedsheets. His hips bucked up into them, his cock sliding in and out of their tight hole. His tongue was half out, panting like a dog in heat as he thrust up instinctively.

They rode him hard and fast, arms wrapped around his neck as they slammed down on him again. They shoved him down onto his back, going even harder now, making him turn his head to bury his face in the pillow to stifle his increasing moans. He tried not to be loud, he didn’t want them getting caught or anyone walking in on them. He had forgotten if they had locked the door or not.

His hand went to their hips again and he started to buck up on his own accord.

“*Holy celestials, don’t stop. . Gun- keep going, doll. . Feel- so good. .”
