'Maybe we could buy him a pet?'
Blaine still hears his mother's voice when they step into the shelter. It doesn't look like any of the brochures. He remembers the smiling puppy and half-human in the pictures but none of these animals look happy. Most of them look sad or are asleep in the back of their dirty cages.
'Well, I will give you some time to look around. I will wait here.' He nods to his mom and walks past the cages. There are half-humans, dogs, cats… Blaine doesn't really want this. It would be nice to have somebody at home waiting for him when his parents aren't there (which is never). But none of this animals look like what he had in mind. When he walks past he last cage, he sees him. He's asleep in the back of the cage. He's probably tall but he looks so small and fragile lying there. Blaine just knows it, he wants him. Just when Blaine wants to call his mother, the half-human starts to move. He's clearly a half-cat because he has a long tail and fluffy chestnut ears. Slowly he blinks his eyes and looks at Blaine. At first he looks scared but then he sits up never breaking eye contact with Blaine. 'Hey' he mumbles.
'Hey, I'm Blaine.'
The half-human looks at him for awhile and then says 'I'm Kurt'
