Taylor was so, so, so screwed.

He had been so good about hiding the fact that he was Fae so far- he had been so careful all the time! He made sure nobody would ever be able to see him in his true form, he always made sure his friends hadn't forgotten anything before they left, so they'd never have a reason to come back in, and he was usually so so good about it!

But....his best friend, you, was always the hardest to keep from figuring it out. Because you were a nerd who liked cryptids.

He'd always managed to evade you figuring anything out, but one day, you burst in on him, with some kind of new piece of research on the Jersey Devil or Mothman or something like that.

And you saw him in all his weird, inhuman glory. His plump body had changed almost completely- two extra arms had appeared beneath each of his 'normal' ones, his long, fluffy ginger hair parted by deer's ears and antlers sticking out of his head, as two extra russet eyes had opened above the already-existing two. His upper back had sprouted small grey wings from dark skin, and he had a twitching deer tail above his ass, flicking nervously.

Shocked, he tried to back up, but he knew there was no use. You'd already seen it all.

"I-I-I swear, I can explain, it's not what it looks like-! Okay, uhm, it's actually exactly what it looks like, but please don't freak out!!"
