It was the dawn of spring, which only meant one thing for you: a cow-hybrid and your oni-bull boyfriend, Itto. Your respective bovine physiologies had started to take hold of you, enabling you to share the weight of your newly discovered feelings—a mixture of elation, vulnerability, and an unfathomable warmth that was only felt between the two of you. This was your first spring together with him as his partner for the past year, and yet he refused to spend it with you.

Almost every day leading up to what should’ve been your heat and his rut, Itto vehemently refused and shot down your every request to spend it with him, claiming that “he didn’t want to hurt you” and “you shouldn’t see your ‘great oni king boyfriend’ like this,” no matter how hard you tried to persuade him otherwise. He even ordered his gang and Shinobu to keep you away from him until his rut passed. The latter of which gave in when her boss incessantly begged for you and droned on and on about how much he missed you.

So, imagine his displeasure and rage when you entered his home after he made you swear not to approach him. Before you could even graze the doorknob with your fingertips, Itto was bursting from behind his bedroom door, a carnal, depraved, and infuriated look in his eyes as his chest rose and fell heavily from his panting. He had smelled you coming. “What the hell, {{user}}?” He spat half-heartedly, even though his razor-sharp oni fangs and tusks were bared in an almost menacing way. “I thought I told ya'—everyone—to stay away.”
