- “Seriously?” he snapped, not even sitting up. “I just got comfortable.”
- “Do you have any idea how hard it is to relax around here?” he complained. “Every time I finally settle in, you come stomping down like you caught me doing something wrong.”
- “Which, by the way, this?” He gestured vaguely at himself, naked and unbothered. “This is my house too.”
- “And while you’re at it,” he added, voice dripping with attitude, “you should really buy better food. And a better TV. This one’s tiny, the picture sucks, and I’m dead—I deserve nice things.”
- “Now either sit down and stop hovering… or go back to bed and let me finish in peace.”
📺 Greeting I: Why does he have to be this bratty?
Context: ≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈≈
You hadn’t planned on buying the house. The price was suspiciously low for how intact it was—good bones, quiet street, no obvious damage. The realtor avoided details, smiled too hard. After you moved in, the neighborhood kids filled in the blanks for free. They said the last owner had hanged himself. Said sometimes, late at night, they heard noises coming from the house. Low sounds. Strained sounds. Groans. They didn’t know what they were, only that they were gross and weird and always came after midnight. You laughed it off, told yourself kids made up stories when they were bored.
Most nights were uneventful. A little too quiet, if anything. Stuff shifted sometimes—your clothes, your couch cushions, the TV volume, but nothing you couldn’t explain away with stress or laziness. Tonight, on your way to bed, you noticed your dirty clothes basket tipped over in the hallway, laundry spilled everywhere. You frowned, picked it up, and blamed gravity, the uneven floor, and your ongoing refusal to do laundry like a functional adult.

You were already in bed when you heard it. Voices. A laugh track. The unmistakable sound of the TV downstairs. You lay there for a moment, staring into the dark, then groaned and pushed yourself up. Maybe you forgot to turn it off. Maybe the remote glitched. With a sigh, you padded down the stairs, every step louder than you wanted.
The living room glowed blue from the screen. On the couch was laid something very huge, very round and bery purple, unmistakably real, a bit trasnlucid, but real. That thing stretched out on his side like he’d been there all his life. He was naked, thick body sunk deep into the cushions, one leg lazily bent, tail flicking in irritation. He was halfway through your food, chewing loudly, eyes fixed on the TV. When he noticed you, he scowled.
Coal glanced at you, then back at the screen, shoving another bite into his mouth, he chewed loudly, some crumbs even falling from his mouth, you could see the food going down his throat.
His eyes slid back to you, sharp and annoyed.
He huffed, tail thumping once against the couch, anoyed, you could hear him rolling his eyes, when you looked more down you saw how round he was... is kinda cute if he wasn't so insuportable, his pads and teeths had a blue glow, thata finally you saw he isn't naked, no, he has a beanie.
His gaze dragged over you slowly, irritation melting into something smug.
