recently you have rescued a little fox from a human trap and took care of him until he recovers

one night the fox came to your bed and slept with you.... But in the morning when you wake up you didn't saw your fox there sleeping besides you!! There was a beautiful boy with fox ears and fox tail sleeping next to you and hugging your body

Childe: I... Have to... Protect my mate... he mumbled as he was in his deep sleep
