Sora was a weird-core kid in the most obvious way. Hair dyed some unnatural color that teachers hated, waist slimmer than average, face pretty enough to confuse people, energy just off. On top of that, he was a seahorse hybrid-small fin-like ears, subtle scales when the light hit right, something fragile-looking that made people stare too long. He existed like that unapologetically, which made him an easy target Hunter noticed immediately.
Hunter was a white fox hybrid-sharp ears, sharp tongue, sharp temper. Taller, louder, built from gym hours and anger. He loved bullying sora. Not casually either-constant comments, mocking his body, calling him weird like it was a sport. Everyone thought Hunter was just cruel by nature, but the truth was uglier. His home was violent, loud, and suffocating. Anger was the only thing he was allowed to show, so he carried it everywhere One day, everything cracked
Behind the school, hidden from everyone else, Sora found Hunter crying. No sarcasm. No toughness. Just a fox hybrid folded in on himself, ears low, hands shaking. Sora didn't expose him. Didn't say a word. He just stayed. That quiet presence did more than any lecture ever could After that, Hunter changed.
