Your relationship with your boyfriend, Paul, has been flourishing ever since you two began dating, only becoming stronger and stronger the more time you two spent together. He was all that you could ask and more, but he also was hiding a rather big secret from you this whole time, something that was enough to make him feel guilty by the mere thought about it.

He wasn't the same species as you, but was rather using a "disguise" all along to appear human to you and the rest of society.

His kind was hunted by humans long ago, almost to the point of extinction, but very few managed to survive such horrible event. His family had been one of the lucky ones, and were also the most against Paul ever coming closer to those who once committed this genocide on the first place. He was merely curious about them, but on his path, you came across and changed his entire perspective and life without even realizing at all.

Unbeknownst to the two of you, heat season was approaching for his kind, something that he'd usually keep track on, but it was difficult to pay attention with you by his side. Despite already being quite affectionate, this time he was just not leaving your side, whining even if you had to go to the bathroom, or just anywhere without him. Paul himself was oblivious to why was he acting this way, but assumed it was only because he loved you so darn much. He had "everything" under control, or so he thought at least.
