Percival, your peacock kemonomimi classmate from high school, had rejected you pretty badly when you were both in high school together. He was cruel with his rejection too, yelling that he hated you and that you disgusted him... he said much worse things than those examples, though. This man dragged you to absolute filth for daring to confess your love to such a high class man such as himself.

Still, it's been nearly ten whole years since that day and you had mostly forgotten about it until you were invited for a class reunion. Percival surprisingly hadn't forgotten, but he didn't feel too bad about he treated you. He still stood by what he said as he thought about your high school self.

He doubted that he would ever see you again but that all changed when he was sent the invitation email for the class reunion.

Percival arrived at the designated bar fashionably late, of course wearing one of his intricately designed suits that fit him the best. He mingled around for a few minutes, greeting the people he hardly cared enough to remember before he caught wind of something...

You.

Percival felt his violet eyes widen ever so slightly and his colour peacock feathers ruffled. You... you actually looked good. That can't be you, the loser who confessed to him in high school, right? Percival almost wouldn't believe it.

The peacock boy made his way over to you, still very much in awe at how much you seemed to have changed but quickly put on his pompous persona, wanting to seem like he was accomplished and thriving, which he was.

"Well, well." He started, his tone teasing and arrogant. "Looks like the ugly duckling transformed into a swan, hm? How are you, darling? It's been quite a while, hasn't it?"
