Tica's note

The sky was a soft puffy grey and the snow looked like marshmallows. It was probably because you were hungry. You hadn't eaten a lot since the 8 hour plane ride and 2 hour car ride to tundratown and finally to the Lynxley manor for a stupid ball that you had to attend with your family. You were staying for a month for a partnership(or so they say) that apparently your parents needed to deal with.

You remember all the headlines showing and knowing about your families arrival to zootopia, and the news talking about the treaty and partnership with the Lynxleys and your family. You know all the animals arent really fond of humans. From the killing and the trafficking and eating them, and wearing their skins. They still have tension from the past. You remember the first time traveling into zootopia and seeing all the animal species raising signs and protesting about humans being in zootopia. Saying slurs and wishing they would leave...

Arriving to the Lynxley manor and see the family waiting outside. Gulping down your anxiety and awaited the pointless conversations you saw butlers surrounding them waiting to get the luggage from the car and bringing to your supposed room probably. There was a older looking lynx male probably 50 to 60s which he looked like he was forcing a smile but who doesn't now a days. And 2 younger lynx which looked to be male and female.

One of the butlers opens the doors and sticks out their hand- or paw for you to take. It winced in disgust when you met their grip. The first thing you heard was the crunch of snow and the bite of cold biting at the apple of your cheeks. Suddenly a booming voice strikes out.

"Welcome to the Lynxley manor! Im glad to see you all! My names Milton and im glad to be making a great deal with you." He said shaking everyone's hand even yours. He looks straight at you

"And you must be the daughter of the family! Please let us show you guys to your rooms for the stay."

After walking inside it still seemed to be super cold in the manor. Well that makes since their probably are walking heaters and dont really get cold often.

While the older lynx was showing your parents around you started looking around and seeing portraits of lynx in a long hallway. It slowly turned from oil paintings to ink filled pictures from modern cameras. Stopping at the end of the hall and seeing the last portrait it was a younger looking lynx that had a awkward smile on his face. His appearance looked scraggly and unkept. And under the portrait it read "pawbert Lynxley".

'Well that's a weird name.'you thought to youself. Sounds like a made up cat pun someone thought up last minute.

Then suddenly the air shifted. Like the walls started moving into eachother. But the sensation of 2 dots burning in the back of you made you remember why your here. And you needed to get back to your parents and find your room.

The corset under your dress was uncomfortable to say the least. It was just a constant annoyance reminding you that you were at the ball. And it probably wasnt ending anytime soon. At least you were wearing a pretty dress. A bluish sparkly one to be exact.

A butler goes near you handing you a drink. Saying thank you and started walking around you started feeling a presence following you. Beads of sweat started forming on your temple as you walked faster to a random location.

Suddenly something hit you and your on the floor.

"Oh-oh my god i-im so sorry!" A awkward voice yells out.

And a soft big paw like hand grabs you and pulls you up. A lynx face fills your vision and you realize who hit you.

"I didn't see you i a-apologize!" He said awkwardly dabbing your dress with a greenish navy napkin from the spilled drink in your hand. You didn't realize it spilled.

"Oh, it's fine i should have seen were i was walking" you responded nervously. It's funny because nobody was in front of you when you were walking, and you were looking in front of you the whole time. And you realize it was the lynx you saw in the hall of paintings.

"You're pawbert Lynxley right?" You ask.

He perks up in surprise and starts shaking a bit.

"Y-you know who i am?"

"Well i dont really know you but i saw your painting in the hall." His smile drops

"Right, i forgot about the portraits heh"

He suddenly grabs your hand shaking it roughly up and down. "It's a pleasure to meet you...?-" He says implying for a name. After you told him he started shaking your hand even more roughly."-It's nice to meet you, im glad we met!" You pull your hand back agreeing.

"Im only here for a month. Im one of the humans that are staying here." He nodded

"I know!" His eyes widened.

"Not in a creepy w-way i mean i-i saw you on the news, you were very cute, i m-mean not like i think you're cute im just saying to your human standards you probably a-are-" he just kept rambling in embarrassment.

"It's ok! Im sure your probably handsome in lynx standards...? Right? Is that how you say it?" You interject. He sighed in relief.

"Yes, it is."

"Well it was definitely a pleasure to meet you, and i hope we see eachother again! Which I believe we will." You said giving his paw one more shake while walking away.

His ears droop down, "o-oh, yeah...cya i guess" he started walking in the other direction off to somewhere.

Walking up the flight of stairs to your room was so fucking tiring. But your parents wanted the best room for you throughout the entire Lynxley manor. The door came into view and when you opened it a smell came to your nose. Something sweet. Turning around and seeing your bed. It was a gift basket. With flowers. Not just any flowers, christmas roses. In all different colors. Which was very abnormal. And a bunch of sweets and candy. With a card in a shape of a heart sat neatly next to the gift basket that just said "from your secret admirer"

...creepy

But, you were in the mood to relax and eat some candy. You had a long day and traveling for a long time really did something to your sleep schedule.

Going into the bathroom connected to the big ass bedroom you didnt see a figure watching from the balcony.

Slipping your dress straps off your shoulders you turn the shower on making sure the temperature was just right for relaxation. The music from the gala still buzzing under your feet.

You hand your sparkly blueish dress on the hooks near the door. Now, bare and naked the water feels warm and fresh on your skin.

The shower had a glass door that was blurry and marbled.

You smelled the variety of shampoos and soap they had in the bathroom. Went from cool lavender to strawberry and vanilla scents. Grabbing the one you thought smelled best you started washing your hair, and body. Not noticing the black figure in the bathroom with you hiding, watching you.

The first time in forever you felt at peace and comfortable. Until it wasnt. As you got done with your shower and you were towel drying your hair,there was a beautiful pink silk nightgown you had packed that was super comfortable you had put on. But you felt the bedroom temperature drop when you walked and saw your balcony door open, the curtains flowing in the cold wind. Snow had started piling up on the soft carpet. And grey fur. You pick it up, soft and short. You smelled it, animal fur.

....creepy

Placing it in a bag and putting it on your nightstand, you didnt realize how shaky your body became from the creepiness and cold.

So you shut and lock the balcony door and lay down in the California king size bed and turn on the tv watching some sort of reality tv with a bunch of artic shrews. The heater came on as a sign of hope for your aching body. You slowly fell asleep, not knowing someone or something was still watching you. And a shadow began to fall over your form.

The clanking of plates woke you up. The butlers of the Lynxley manor came in with breakfast. All vegetable based items with a side of fish.

No beef, or pork....

Which was sad you forgot that those animals were sapient here. You missed beef and pork. Bacon....

But nevermind that you were starving. Digging in you saw a cupcake on the side on your nightstand with a heart note on it that read "something sweet for someone sweeter, love your secret admirer"

Weird....and very creepy coincidences that keeps happening.

But whatever, it looked delicious anyway. It had pink cake and white frosting with rainbow sprinkles, with a red cherry on top.

Someone definitely knew your taste in sweets.

There was nothing planned for the day just your parents going in a meeting with mr.Lynxley.

You were just walking around the manor looking outside watching the snow fall gently and hypnotizingly when you suddenly ran into someone.

"Hahh, we gotta stop meeting like this." A familiar voice rang out. Oh. Pawbert.

"O-oh pawbert, im so sorry. I didn't see you there.....again." You said sheepishly wiping off random dirt from your clothes. He was pushing a big cart full of mail.

"Well, im glad i ran into you anyway, i was hoping we could hangout, or just walk around together...maybeee" he said scratching the back of his furry neck.

"Well, arent you doing that?" You asked pointing to the cart.

"Oh! Yeah, i deal with the mail in my family. Which makes me pretty important." He said popping the p in important.

"Yeah i guess it does." You said looking around.

"What is there here thats fun? All ive mannage to find is fancy wallpaper and statues." You asked.

He popped up thinking and a bright idea came up in his head.

"Oh i know a fun place we could hangout, have you ever been in the Sahara Square in zootopia?" He asked.

"Sahara square?" You said confused. "Isn't that a desert?"

"Yes!" He replied getting closer,"cmon ill show you. I'm pretty sure you'll love it there." He said grabbing your hand running. "B-but what about your mail?" You yelled.

Pawbert apparently got his motorcycle license recently he seems like he knows what he's doing. The seat on the side of the motorcycle was to small for your human body so you had to ride behind pawbert. The entire time he was frozen. Like a stiff board.

Atleast his sweater was soft, and fluffy, or was that his fur.

His fur, it reminded you of something...it smelled and looked like the same fur that was on your bedroom floor back in the manor.

Goosebumps started rising on your skin, you couldn't leave now, your stuck in the middle of a desert with some lynx that you barley know of taking you somewhere that you've never been.

"Eh, you only live once," you thought.

"So this is my little hideout." Pawbert said opening the tents flap.

It was cool actually, a lot of cat stuff. A guitar, cat tree, yarn and milk. A cat toy? Damn.

"This is... actually kinda cool pawbert. I mean for you it's probably amazing. All this cat stuff is pretty cool." You said poking around the tent.

"Do you hang here often?" You asked. You turned around looking at him, but he seemed to just be in a staring trance. Then perked up.

"U-uh yeah, i come here mostly to get away from my family. I like some me time ya knoooo...?" He responded scratching the back of his ears.

"Yeah, no this is actually really cool. Omg you play the guitar!?" You realized. It had just hit you in the face. You ran up to the amp touching the nobs.

"Uh yeah, i try and practice every few days." He says walking to you.

"It must be hard to play though, right? You only got 3 fingers and claws on each hand- i mean paw." You said looking at his paws.

"Yeah it takes long practice to play a guitar, plus how big my paws are it took me a while to play only one note." He said laughing a little.

"What else do you have?" You asked walking to the cat toy. "Do you play with this a lot?" You say teasingly. It was a big tall cat toy with a fluffy purple ball at the end of it. You poke it and moved it up and down.

"Heh, maybe d-dont touch that." Pawbert warned.

You looked around and saw a button at the bottom of it. "Oooo, it can turn on?" You press it and it starts moving up and down.

Suddenly a growl rips out in the air and pawbert starts playing with the cat toy.

"Turn it off, turn it off turn it off turn it off Turn it off!" Pawbert yelled biting and clawing at the fluffy purple ball. You repress the button as the ball stops going up and down. "Wow pawbert. I didn't know you played like a actual cat."

Pawbert was on the floor panting with his paw on his chest.

"You wanna see my games?" He said getting up completely ignoring what just happened.

"Ooooo, you have videogames." You said following him to the other side of the tent.

He started pulling out controllers from a console brand you dont recognized. And a game called Crittercraft in block lettering. "This almost looks like minec-" "Minecraft? Yeah it's zootopia friendly they changed it because the human version was offensive for most animals here." He interject interrupting you.

"Oh yeah sorry about that heh." You apologized "were is your monitor i dont see where we can play?"

Pawberts eyes widen "oh yeah, i have a projector i use." He said running to the other side of the tent.

"It's a bit sandy but it will work." You sit on one of the bean bags and watch as he assembled the projector and crittercraft.

After a while he sits next to you.

"You ready to play Crittercraft." Pawbert asked. You nodded and started playing it.

There was no pets, no killing, no mobs, no nothing like minecraft at all. It was mainly mining and building and eating vegetables.

"This is nothing like Minecraft what did they do?" You laughed.

"Eh, a lot of animals can't handle human stuff." He replied.

As the sky turned from a light blue to an orange and finally to a beautiful dark navy with speckles of glowing white you decided you wantedto go back to the manor. "Damn pawbert this was pretty fun, but i think i should go back now ya know. My parent's are probably looking for me." You said getting up. He looked up sad

"Aw but we've barley done anything."

Your eyes widened in shock "pawbert it's dark outside!" You said, "take me back." You spoke walking outside the tent to his motorcycle.

He ran after you, "but maybe like 20 more minutes please?" He asked with sorrow. "I've missed you."

You turned around looking at him.

"Missed me? I barley even know you? What do you mean miss?" You asked walking up to him.

His eyes widened and he began to sputter out a explanation.

"I m-meant i missed seeing you around?-" he sighs "I know we've never met but i feel like I've known you my entire life." He said smiling awkwardly.

You scoff.

"Pawbert take me back." You replied strictly.

The ride back was tense. Pawbert was tense. The cold air was biting your supple face. But when you saw the manor the feeling of relief set in.

When he finally parked you got off the bike but suddenly a yell ripped through the manor.

"PAWBERT!" Familiar old voice yells. Milton Lynxley. Pawbert perked up scared.

"Yes Dad?" He replied his ears pinned to the back of his head scared.

"Don't you ever take the human out ever again. Do. you. understand. Me?" He said in a mean way. Pawbert nodded vigorously. "Come here darling the butler will escort you back to your quarters for the night." He motioned one of the animal butler as they started walking you to your room you saw pawbert look away sadly walking in the opposite direction again.

Your sheets felt nice. Warm even. They were silky and smooth. Something you could relax in finally. Ar least pawbert was nice. He seems cool even, sometimes he has those moments.

Moments.... you thought about it. The day, how it went, his grey fur.

Fur.... the fur on the nightstand you had.

You got up and saw it. As light grey as can be shining in the low lamp lighting, you grab it and open it out the baggy and smell it again.

Pawbert....no

It can't be right?

You put the fur back in the bag and try to sleep for the night.

Pawbert was silently standing over your sleeping form watching you. Your chest gently falling up and down signifying him that you were peaceful at the moment. Lust and obsession filled his gaze on you. His hooded eyes trailed down your face all down your neck, body, and finally bare feet.

He was fascinated.

In his right paw he had a black bottle with the words chloroform in white bold letters. And in the other paw he had a dish rag.

He quietly started unscrewing the black bottle full of the sweet smelling chemical, and started pouring it on the neatly folded dish rag.

He quietly kneeled down towards your face and almost started breathing heavily trying to smell you more.

The entire time he was shaking from the adrenaline and excitement in his body.

He silently put the rag near your face and clamped it down your mouth and nose.

You started groaning weirdly and tried moving your head thrashing from the chemical.

After you calm down and stopped moving, and after pawbert made sure you wouldn't wake up he finally gasped out loud.

"OH MY GOD. I cant beleive i actually did that!" He said smoothing down his ears.

His eyes lidded again and he finally realized he could do anything to you.

"Your finally mine now after all this time." He whispered in your face caressing you cheek.

After a silent while of just staring at you he finally started with his plan....

Something was wrong. You felt cold, And dirty.

You groaned as you turned over but it didn't feel like your bed. It felt rough and sandy.

Come to think of it you didnt even have a blanket on you anymore or a pillow under your head.

Opening your eyes your met with a orange tent roof and warm lighting, lighting it up.

Oh pawberts tent.

...

What? Why were you in pawberts tent?

Last thing you did was go to sleep in your bed.

"Huh"

You gasped out loud when you felt something cold wrapped around your ankle. You look down and see a shackle attached to it.

What?

In a panic you get up to try and take it off. But with sleep still seeped in your mind you didnt connect the dots yet.

The fur

The weird paranoia

pawberts tent

the shackle...

Had pawbert kidnapped you?

No

He's just socially awkward pawbert Lynxley. He's no one to be afraid of right?

Without a second longer the tent flap opened and pawbert came inside with a box. His ears perked up,

"OH, your awake. Yeah I'm sorry about the shackle, but it was the only option i had to keep you here." He said walking to the other side of the tent.

"Pawbert what did you do?" You asked looking at him like he had kicked your dog. He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment, he kneeled infront of you.

"It was the only way." He said his ears pinning to the back of his head.

Your hear dropped in fear.

"Pawbert, what do you mean the only way?" Beads of sweat started forming on your skin in anticipation.

"Ya know! For us to be together."

He said clasping his paws together smiling awkwardly.

"After i heard you were coming months ago from my family, i started researching. And when i realized you were actually coming to zootopia i had to take my chance. You know, i can finally prove to my family that im actually a real Lynxley. And when i show them that were together and get married and finally conjoin our family to make a stronger legacy and social status. We can be happy!" He said rambling to you.

His gaze turned harden though

"But you showed no intrest in me. Just like my family and the others. And even after i tried to woo you and be nice you still didn't care. After a while i didn't know what i was doing wrong.-" his expression turned it one that looked like he was gonna cry."-but after i realized i can force you into a relationship i finally made a plan that i know is full proof." He said grinning.

He started leaning closer his breath fanning your face.

"You know, after i heard they wanted you to marry into the family i knew we were made for eachother."

Your expression turned worry,

"Marry into the family?" You asked shocked. Your entire body was full of electricity ready to bolt and try to run even if you can't.

You were to scared to even try to do anything anyway, he seemed crazy as fuck.

"But now we can get married and finally show my family im useful, and i get to be with you." He whispered moving closer, he whiskers started tickling your cheeks.

"I know your confused, but trust me it will all make sense soon."

Suddenly his mouth was on yours and his body became to vibrate from purring.

You push him off you, "Pawbert, WAI-"

He lunges. At you in desperation.

"Don't make this harder for us and stop resisting." He said strictly with his claws out. Threating to hurt you.

You started shaking, tears pricking your eyes. You nod your head frantically signifying that you were agreeing.

And you gently place your mouth on his kissing him.

His eyes stayed open for a moment in shock and melted in within seconds. As if he didn't suspect you'd actually listened.

He started purring and pawing at you. But then started doing something unexpected.

He started grinding his crotch against your core and moaning. Saying your name gasping, as if he didnt just threaten you a couple seconds ago.

"O-oh, yes. This is how i knew we were meant to be."

You groaned in shock your mouth still tightly pressed against his.

Pawbert mistaken that for a moan and began grinding harder and pawing you're chest.

A heat began to bloom in your crotch and you got disgusted, your body was confused this wasnt love this was obsession.

Something pawberts body had confused since he was little kitten.

Thanks to his family he never got the childhood love he was promised and it turned into something more.

Something raw and besettling.

And even after years of neglect he's still trying to find that love he missed.

And that love is you. And he's not gonna lose it again.
