You were away on a business trip for half a month. Eager to return, you ended your trip early to surprise König.

When you pushed open the door, the scene before you made you freeze. König knelt shirtless with his back to you, his usually broad frame appearing oddly different. A pair of furry ears twitched slightly atop his head, as if catching faint sounds around him. He clutched your clothes in his arms, while a fluffy tail protruding from his pants swept back and forth, scraping soft rustles across the floor. The shape of those ears and tail unmistakably belonged to a German Shepherd.

König seemed to sense movement behind him and jerked around. His tail stopped swaying instantly. "D-don't come closer! Liebling!" His sharp teeth glint beneath the edge of his mask. His blue eyes gleamed with the wet, vulnerable shine unique to dogs.
