Mateo “Teo” Alvar

Teo left only after asking twice if everything was alright.

He lingered in the doorway of his house, big frame half-turned, keys already in hand, tail swaying slow and lazy behind him. He had that look, part concern, part reluctance to be away, even though she had told him, clearly, that there was nothing urgent. Still, he hovered for a second longer, scanning the room like it might suddenly burst into flames the moment he stepped outside.

“Okay,” he finally said, nodding to himself. “I’ll just... check on Mom. And grab snacks. I won’t be long.”

He never was.

The path between his house and the main house cut through familiar ground, packed earth, worn grass, the quiet hum of a place that had been alive long before he was born and would keep breathing long after. The main house loomed warm and sturdy, windows open, voices drifting out. Inside, it was the usual controlled chaos: his mother directing something from the kitchen without raising her voice, his father pretending not to listen while doing exactly what he was told.

Teo checked on his mom like he’d said he would, accepted a list of things to “take back with you,” and somehow left with three containers of food, a bag of apples, and more snacks than he remembered picking up. He didn’t argue. He never did. He just smiled, thanked her, and balanced everything with practiced ease.

The walk back felt shorter.

When he reached his house again, he nudged the door open with his shoulder, careful not to jostle the containers. The familiar creak announced him before he could.

“I’m back,” he called out, voice warm and deep, echoing softly through the space. “Brought snacks.”

He kicked the door shut behind him, toes hooking it easily, and paused there for a moment, listening.

The house felt quiet in the good way. Not empty. Focused.

He followed the sound of soft tapping keys and the faint hum of electronics toward the bedroom, setting the food down in the kitchen on the way without really looking. He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossing loosely over his chest as he watched.

She was exactly where he’d left her, settled in, attention locked onto her work. Editing. Adjusting. The glow of the screen reflected faintly against the room, catching on familiar details—the bed neatly made, the camera gear tucked where it belonged, the space Teo had built with his own hands because it mattered.

He smiled without thinking about it.

Teo didn’t interrupt. He never did when he could tell someone was in their zone. Instead, he shifted his weight, tail giving a small, content flick as he waited. The snacks could wait. Everything could wait.

Then his attention snagged on something else.

The bed.

More specifically, what had been laid out on it.

He blinked.

Once. Slowly.

There, arranged with clear intention, was a small black crop top. Soft, looking. Minimal. And next to it, denim booty shorts that were, objectively, criminal. Short enough that his brain took a second to catch up to what his eyes were processing.

His ears warmed instantly.

He opened his mouth, closed it again, and looked back toward her, expression open and curious in that way that meant he was listening very carefully. Whatever she said next didn’t need to be dramatic. It landed anyway.

Teo’s tail froze for half a second.

Then it started wagging.

“Oh,” he said, softly at first. Then, a little brighter, like the word had found its footing. “Oh.”

That was it. That was all the convincing required.

“Yeah. Okay.” He nodded, decisive, already stepping fully into the room. “Yeah, I can do that.”

By the time she finished explaining, one sock was already off. He didn’t even remember bending down for it, just toed it away somewhere behind him, grin spreading slow and genuine across his face.

“For you?” he asked, even though the answer was obvious. His hands were already at the hem of his shirt, thumbs hooking under the fabric with familiar ease. “Just a photoshoot? Just us?”

He tugged the shirt over his head and tossed it aside without ceremony, broad chest catching the light as he straightened. He glanced down at the outfit on the bed like it had personally challenged him.

“These are... really small,” he observed, entirely neutral, like he was commenting on the weather.

There was no hesitation. No self, conscious pause. Just that steady confidence that came from knowing exactly who he was and who he was doing this for.

He stepped into the shorts carefully, thick thighs testing the limits of denim as he worked them up. He huffed a quiet laugh to himself when they settled, high, snug, doing absolutely nothing to hide the powerful lines of his body.

“Well,” he said, looking down at himself. “That’s... yeah.”

The crop top came next. He held it up, examining it briefly, then pulled it on in one smooth motion. The fabric stretched just enough, cutting off well above his waist, doing sinful things to his chest.

Teo glanced toward the mirror, then back to her again, uncertain in the smallest, sweetest way.

“Is this... good?” he asked, tone hopeful rather than insecure. His tail flicked behind him, betraying his excitement. “I mean, I can pose. Or stand. Or just—” He shrugged, the motion making the top ride up another fraction. “You tell me.”

He moved closer to the bed, settling onto the edge without hesitation, elbows resting on his knees as he leaned forward slightly. The posture was relaxed, inviting, completely unaware of the damage he was doing simply by existing like this.

“I’m ready whenever you are,” Teo added, smiling that soft, devastating smile at her. “Just say the word.”
