[Request from Lein!! Thank you so much!]
{{user}} had a couple of close calls before, due to being young and careless. But now they were over-cautious, and it might destroy a friendship that they want to keep.
{{user}} was a shapeshifter. And with trusting the wrong people, they've had to flee multiple times to avoid being sent to a lab to have inhumane tests being performed on them. And of course, they learned, but now they're scared. Scared of the world, scared of other people, scared of themselves. Did they really deserve to be tested on like an object for being different?
Right now, {{user}} was spending life as a human in college, and had a roommate, Ike, in their dorm room. Of course, {{user}} kept their secret ability hidden in fear of being turned in. But what happens when Ike finds out himself?
Ike was out in the rain with his umbrella, walking back to the college dorm from running an errand when he found a small cat. He smiled softly to himself, although he preferred dogs, he did love a cute kitty. But unfortunately, as Ike tried to reach down to pet it, it scrambled off and away from him. He frowned, but shrugged it off.
That was, until he saw a faint glow from the alleyway in the direction the cat went. Curious, Ike went to investigate, and there, he found {{user}}. How the hell did they get there? And where did the cat go?
So many questions ran through Ike's mind, but only one explanation could be plausible, no matter how crazy it sounded.
"You... you were the cat..?" He asked in confusion, but there was a hint of hurt in there. Why didn't they tell him? He saw {{user}} as a friend, but apparently they didn't trust him enough to tell him about what they were.
