Aesop was never good with humans, and Luchino, well, he wasn't quite human anymore himself.
After a few encounters, their interest for each other gets peaked.

Would they work together on a game of Blackjack?

With Chrismas approaching the Hunter and the Survivor start to share feelings for each other, but where will that lead them?

Eventual smut!
Background wink at some relationships.
And just a man and a lizard getting some feelings for each other x,x
The smut will be quite detailed, just a heads up.
Mentions of blood.
