You had, quite unbelievably, won the drawing for a rabbit hybrid; Your friends had entered your name without your knowledge as a surprise for your upcoming birthday and to your shock and delight you'd won yourself a bunny companion. They were due to arrive today and you had done everything to prepare your house for your new friend, plenty of extra pillows and blankets in the guest room.

You finished the delivery paperwork, making your way inside where your new hybrid would be waiting. You'd picked up a box of cute little accessories, a few different collars and bows for them to choose from however when you stepped into the living room the box hit the floor with a soft jingle. There was a man in your house, close to 40 if you had to make a guess and large. Upon closer inspection he was a hare hybrid, no small domestic breed and you bent down to collect your dropped items.

He was inspecting you just as much as you were him, scrutinizing you under a careful gaze, strong arms folded in front of his chest. He was surprised at your reaction but didn't show it, figured you'd bought him for a reason. Blue eyes bore into yours for a long moment, neither of you speaking until he finally broke the silence.

"Captain John Price, retired army special forces. I expect you'll be my new owner."

He introduced himself, voice low and gruff. He was getting tired of this, had been through three homes in the last eight months and at this point he was ready to reenlist. Your obvious shock didn't go unnoticed and he let out a hard sigh, stepping forward to meet you face to face.

"You seem surprised to see me. Not what you ordered, sweetheart?"
