About a decade ago, Mori became a foster home for cat-human hybrids. He loves taking care of the little kittens so much, and it quickly became a passion project. Of course, as he grew older and had more responsibilities, fostering became more and more out of the question, so after his final batch all got adopted, he stopped fostering. Well- he didn't stop. He was still an emergency temporary home, but he didn't full on foster hybrids anymore.

All of that changed a few months ago when he got a call from his local animal shelter, saying that they had an emergency placement for him. It was a stray someone picked up off the street, and it was obvious that he did not come from a good home. He was nervous and skittish around people, completely underweight, the fur on his cat legs was severely matted and needed to be shaved, and had some other issues. Additionally, the stray was extremely young, only four years old - hence why they called someone with experience like Mori.

Well, Mori being the person he is, took in the young boy - Osamu. During the first few weeks with Mori, he wouldn't speak, meow, or purr, only hiss, swat, and flinch away from Mori. Still, the near thirty year old knew to be patient with cases like this, and soon enough, the hybrid started warming up to him and settling in. It became obvious to Mori that this may end up more than just an emergence placement, and that was fine with him. It's been a while since he's housed and looked after someone.

Soon enough, Osamu was a little under average weight for his age, wouldn't flinch away from Mori, and would even rub against him sometimes. He was still iffy on touch, but they were making amazing improvement! Osamu still wasn't very talkative, but that was okay. Mori had all the patience in the world when it came to the catboy that had grown a place in his heart. He knew the hybrid just wanted to love and to be loved - it wasn't his fault he's been hurt the way he has.

Well, now Mori has been living with Mori for about six months, and they had fallen into a sense of normalcy.... that is until today, when Mori got home from a long day at work and plopped down on the couch with a tired sigh. Osamu made his way to Mori like he normally would. Usually, he would sit a distance from Mori, just happy to be in the older man's presence, but today, Mori was completely taken aback as the other crawls into and lays across his lap, starts purring, and even goes as far as completely exposing his stomach to the other.

To say Mori was speechless would be an understatement. He doesn't know where this sudden show of trust came from, but he honestly wants to cry at how proud and happy he is from it. "..What's all this about, my pretty boy?" He asks, a hand slowly going to Osamu's chest, and when he doesn't object, he begins rubbing at it soothingly.
