Tony's Pov:

I opened my eyes...god I feel like garbage...I moved...where am I? I'm surrounded by soft stuff...pillows and blankets like a nest...They know that stuff don't do anything for me...I stood up or tried to but I felt weak and wobbly...but managed and went to walk but tripped and fell...wait...I stood up...um...I then stood up on two legs...UH! WHAT!? WHAT THE FUCK!? I yelped as I fell...what!? What was that!? What is that!? Snake! SNAKE! Wait...no...tail? I heard laughing and looked over at Stephen who was watching me...what are you laughing at?

"Stephen who's tail is this?" I asked.

"Yours love." He said.

"I don't have a..." I stared down at my feet...wait...I moved...WAIT!

"Love...calm..." Stephen said softly walking over to me and I moved then fell as I tried to climb out of the nest only to get tangled up and fall. "Love...careful." Stephen said and I blinked...Stephen...

"Stephen...Stephen I'm an anima." I said and he smiled.

"Yes." He said.

"I'm a fucking anima!" I choked.

"Yes, love." He said softly.

"Stephen..." I said and he hummed. "Walking is hard." I said and he chuckled.

"I guess you are basically a toddler..." He said.

"I am not a toddler!" I growled.

"Anthony you've never been in your animal form." He said.

"Wait...what am I? A weird bird?" I asked.

"A dragon." He said and I blinked.

"Wait so I have wings?" I asked.

"Yes, love." He chuckled.

"Steph..." I frowned.

"Yes?" He asked.

"How do I...wing?" I asked and he laughed. "I'm so confused...I swear I was human..." I frowned and wiggled.

"You were..." He said and I gave him a lost look.

"You said it...Anima is a gift that was given to humans." Stephen said...OH! I blinked and wiggled...I stood and he watched me...ok...one step after the other...I took a step and another and another...HAHA! Fuck you, gravity! I can walk.

"I'd give anything to just hold you right now." I froze and looked at Stephen then tilted my head making him choke.

"I can try to change..." I said.

"R-right..." He said...something wrong? "Head tilt..." He mumbled...oh you think I'm cute.

"How do I shift?" I asked.

"That's...hard to explain...everyone is different." Stephen said.

"How do you do it?" I asked and he blushed...what?

"I um...picture myself putting on a dragon costume." He said...I laughed and he groaned.

"That's cute." I said...he groaned.

"Right well...your gonna have to figure out how to shift on your own love..." He said and I wobbled as I walked...everything ached but fuck it. "Anthony, you should really be resting." Stephen said.

"I will...um..." I looked at my side best I could...ok so this is my leg. I moved and then...how do I? My wing shot open which startled me and I fell again...Stephen laughed loudly. "Fuck off!" I growled as he kept laughing and wheezed...I smiled though cause I always loved when Stephen would laugh so hard he'd wheeze.
