“Yes?” He squeaked out in response. He hadn’t meant to make it sound like a question, but he hadn’t been meaning to do a lot of these things during their brief interaction thus far. Shift. That was a good word for it, one of his favorite terms, if he’d ever had the balls to voice it before. This guy said it like it was natural, expected, like he’d been wondering if Axel even could. Which begged all kinds of questions, really. How had he known? Axel was good at controlling himself. He knew how to cover up his tracks and only shift in places he was certain no one would see. Had this guy known coming in or had he figured it out? What else did he know?
Were there more people like him out there?
Axel shuddered again, this time not from the cold. It had always been a fantasy of his. To find others. When he was little, wandering around a strange city where no one quite knew what to do with him in either form, he’d fucking dreamed of discovering an entire, I don’t know, fucking family of things like him. He’d settled for finding humans who resembled one of his forms and went from there, chasing the idea of a place where he might be able to fit it across the entire fucking globe. Trying to find some place to belong.
This was not how he had imaged discovering that there were other shifters out there.
Axel froze, his spiraling thoughts coming to a screeching halt when the lizard-samurai-man-thing leaned closer and… smelled him. He bit back on another round of whine-giggles threatening to escape his throat, horribly confused by this turn of events. Lizard man had softened, somewhat, his grip and his stance, and the shift was giving him whiplash. His hands gripped onto armored arms once again, his teeth finding and grinding into his own lower lip as he, finally, tried to get some control on his fucking nerves so he could maybe figure out what the fuck was happening and what the hell this dude’s intentions were.
He was also still very naked and very cold. The close contact with armor was not helping.
“But why.” He whined, unable to keep the petulance out of his voice when lizard-samurai started making demands again. This wasn’t fair. Sure, he was living in a crappy apartment in a crappy city and he’d been having a really crappy day, but that didn’t mean that he was due for some epic adventure to come pick him up and sweep him away! He was done with epic adventures! His whole life had been a really shitty epic adventure and all he wanted was to live out the rest of his days in a crappy apartment playing crappy videogames and making sure that his existence was never discovered by anyone, ever, through borderline illegal online information manipulation!
But something was telling him he wasn’t going to get a say in this whole situation.
“Fucking fuck. Okay. Okay, I get it, I don’t have a choice, but can you at least tell me if you’re taking me somewhere to kill me?” Or worse. That whole hair-smelling thing was lowkey running through his mind over and over and he couldn’t parse it out. Humans didn’t do shit like that and, sure, this guy obviously wasn’t human (scales! So many scales!), but he was having trouble changing his entire worldview to accept that there were more things like him out there that weren’t human, but also weren’t 100% animal.
