The stories of carnivore-herbivore relationships have always ended in tragedy. The few passionate couples who find a balance between love and instincts are unconsciously ostracized from society-and used as an unspoken example to all.

Louis the red deer was unsure how his date was going to end tonight. He drove through the city streets, his eyes focused on the road but his mind in a different world. He didn't bother taking a limo on his date, he didn't feel like receiving strange looks from the driver when his date stepped into the vehicle. So, he decided driving her in a nice, expensive car would make a good second choice.
Still, he really wished he could've taken a limo, so he could spend the whole night gazing at her, taking in every one of her breath-taking expressions.
Louis lightly pressed down on the break, stopping at a red light along with a bunch of traffic. And in the corner of his eye, he could already see other mammals ogling his car. He was too deep in thought to give them his attention right now.
Ever since he ended his engagement with Azuki—a huge sacrifice of an opportunity to expand his company, one his now deceased father would've scoffed at—Louis had been nervous. He had been more nervous than he'd like to admit, because he could no longer use his fiancée as an escape, as an excuse, to detach himself from a relationship he was slowly attaching himself to.
He was slowly attaching himself to her, Juno, a beautiful gray wolf who made friends with every mammal she met and wore her every thought on her sleeve.
No, not attach.
He was slowly falling in love with her, it was a fact he could never deny. And yet, he hated himself for loving her. He knew the suffering and the rejection she would receive from society for being with him. He didn't want her to be subjected to that, especially for him.
The traffic light flicked green and every car surrounding his began to budge forward, slowly accelerating. Louis lightly pressed on the gas pedal, his eyes remaining on the car in front of him.
Still, he remembered the words Juno had spoken to him, all those months ago, when they had first danced together that night.
How you live your life isn't up to society, it's up to you!
The words she had spoken to him that night lingered in the back of his mind, only resurfacing every time he saw her.
He wanted to believe that he could fall in love with her, he wanted to believe that they could be together and live happy. But ever since their first kiss, he had cast the thought aside as a fantasy, a lie he was telling himself.
It's why he asked her out while they were in the café, because he wanted to believe in his fantasy, just this once.
But not tonight. He thought to himself. Tonight, he was going to take the first steps in starting a relationship with Juno. Tonight, he was going to turn his fantasy into something real.
...
Standing at the front entrance of Cherryton High, the spot where Louis agreed to pick her up, Juno the gray wolf was filled with excitement at the thought of her first date tonight.
