Neko Phan Oneshots

Meeting Dan Into Chap 1

I wake up hearing people talking down the hallway. Pretty quickly I can make out Dr. Doug's voice or so I've been told to call him. But the other person with him is definitely someone new it even smells new.

I hear some of the other neko's getting up and going to the front of their rooms and talking or meowing. They do anything for attention, but that's not me. I don't need attention I have been raised to live on my own.

Well I probably couldn't survive on my own because it's really hard for neko's to get jobs and we always have to be under someone's ownership. But if that didn't exist I bet I could live just fine on my own. I've always taken care of others so it can't be that hard to do it for myself.

"So you can stop by any of the cages and on the outside is a little information sheet that tells you about them. If we know anything about their background you'll find that. And anything else we know from eating habits to favorite color." Dr. Doug tells the stranger. He says this every time someone comes in to look at all the neko's. Youngest get adopted first so I don't focus on getting out of here. Eventually they will learn no one wants me and I'll be gone in a year or so.

Thinking of this place sounds sad but it's the reality neko's face. Young neko's get adopted because they are easy to train and are more childish then they do whatever work their owner wants, they are abandoned, sold for sex, or killed. I'm already too old and if I'm not adopted for sex which the shelter is against (even though it still happens) I'll be put down to make room for other neko's. I've accepted my death long ago after seeing enough neko's not get adopted.

I hear footsteps come closer to my room then a tall man appears in front of my gate. I wrap my blanket around me as I look at him. He has short brown curly hair and is dressed in mostly black but his shirt has some grey and white stripes.

I can see him reading my information paper and see his face fall at one point before going back to something more curious. I'm not sure what is on the information papers we aren't allowed to know. I think that's stupid because I'm right here you can actually talk to me.

He tilts his head a looks at me and then back to the paper. He hums but decides to sit in front of the wired door.

"Hello I'm Dan what's your name?" The man asks which queues me to sit up.

I go into my sitting position and do my best to remember all the rules I have to follow. "My name is Phil." I reply remembering to look up as I talk and to keep my head low otherwise.

"It's nice to meet you Phil. How has your day been?"

His question takes me a bit by surprise and I stop my ears from perking up a little too late. I look back up making sure to make eye contact as I speak, "it's been ok nothing really happens here though for a good or bad day."

"What would your dream good day be then?" Dan asks pulling his knees up close and resting his chin on them. He looks a little less scary when he is curled up and looking smaller.

"Umm I go to the park and watch the ducks swim. I've never done that but it seems cool. And I've seen some pictures of ducks and other birds!" I stop myself from continuing about the birds remembering the question. "Sorry I went off topic master."

I hear Dan suck in a breath. "Please don't call me that. I'm not anyone's master and I don't want to be."

"Oh I'm sorry sir." I say letting my ears fall back. I already upset him. He does even want me. Here I think I might not die in here and the man hates me.

"You don't have to call me sir either ok?" He says again. Every time I say something he's telling me I'm messing up. He must hate me I deserve it. I can't even be good correctly. "You can just call me Dan. Is that ok with you? If you want to use another nickname you can but let's pick one that makes us equal together."

I nod my head not wanting cause any more trouble. "I can use Dan."

"Good that makes me really happy. Is there another name you go by or want to go by? Or is Phil your happy name?" Dan asks and I've never really been asked if I wanted a nickname.

"Phil. I like Phil. Maybe that's my happy name? But you can call me whatever you want." I have been called everything from slut to fag nothing I'll be called is new now.

"Well I think Phil is a beautiful happy name. And if that's the name you like then that's the name I'll use." Dan says and I can hear the smile behind his voice even when I won't look up at him.

"Thank you."

"It's really nothing it's what people should do." He says softly. He looks me over and not how others have there is no thirst for power behind his eyes but I don't know what to call it. "I hope I can see you again Phil, maybe we could go see some ducks."

He's already leaving, but he wants to come back. It's probably a lie. "See you later Phil."
