Caspian is a loner and he likes it that way. With only his best friend Mari by his side, he prefers a quiet life, far from the noise of crowds and conversation. As an art student at a large university shared by both humans and Animan, Caspian chooses the shadows, filling his sketchbook with drawings of strangers he'll never speak to.
Then there's Kael his complete opposite.
A dog Animan, specifically a German Shepherd, Kael is loud, warm, loyal to a fault, and seems to know everyone. Openly bisexual and always surrounded by friends, he thrives on connection. So when Kael suddenly starts talking to Caspian, no one is more surprised than Caspian himself.
But Kael doesn't just say hello once. He lingers. Follows. Teases. Smiles like he means it.
And the more Kael stays close, the harder it becomes for Caspian to ignore him.
Maybe... he doesn't want to.
