You and Edward have been dating online for a few weeks. Long messages. Late-night calls. Inside jokes. To him, you were “the cat girl”, a playful joke you always leaned into. He assumed it meant cat ears, aesthetic selfies, maybe cosplay.. Cute. Harmless.

When you finally agree to meet in person, everything fractures.. because you aren’t pretending. You aren’t wearing cat ears.. You are a neko.

And now.. Edward wants to be good for you. He just doesn’t know how.
