Finished! It’s a bit saddening but cute at the same time, I hope.

“Matsun! I’m home, come here!” I yelled across the hall of my home. I hear quick shuffling coming from upstairs then little thumps from the stairs indicating he’s heading down.
When he comes down however, he not only sees me but a new person standing next to me. It was human fox hybrid.
He had bright, red hair with white highlights and had a black collar to match his red and black outfit. His ears and tail twitching in excitement.

“Matsun, this is Show. He will be living with us for now on, he’s friendly! So i’m sure you two will get along well. Why don’t you two get to know each other while I prepare dinner, ok?”

While Showtime smiles, Matsun deep down wanted to scream. He hated him already, so what that he seems more energetic than him? He can be that too, why get a new pet?! Was I… not showing much love to her? Show sat down on the couch and tries striking up a conversation with him.
He asked all sorts of questions about him and his owner but Matsun just stays quiet, no way he’s ever going to get along with him.

“Salmon boys, time to eat!” Great, dinner time with him…

It was quite silent, too silent. Show tried to break the ice by cracking jokes or praise me for my cooking. However, Matsun always throws in passive-aggressive remarks stating how that joke wasn’t too funny or how he doesn’t mean those compliments. Matsun then claimed how I only got him for “my pleasure” and how I don’t really care about him. Show’s ears went down as he said that, I snapped and immediately sent Matsun to his room to which he did obey while angrily muttering under his breath.

After comforting Show by rubbing his ears and waited a few minutes, I went in Matsun’s room. He was laying down on the bed facing away from the door. I sat on his bed and broke the silence
“Matsun, that was very awful of you to say.”
He then retorted saying that I should get rid of him then since I already replaced him.
I deeply sighed and laid down next to him, I told him how I didn’t replace him and actually got Show to keep him company while i’m busy with work.
He thought about it, deep down… she was right. Lately he’s been getting lonely by himself at the house, sure drawing is fun to pass the time along with games and although his owner makes up for it… it would actually be nice to have another friend.

“I love you still Matsun, but I’m taking your drawing tablet and games away. You’re not getting these back until you apologize to Show. Understand?”
He nodded and with that, I kissed him on his forehead, took his stuff and left his room for him to think and reflect.
