There was a yellow-haired human sitting on a bench in the park he stayed in. He had never seen him before, but the human was somehow familiar. ...His. The human was his. He had to investigate why he thought this.

The human had seen his approach and he didn't slow, moving at the same pace. Normally he would have, but he knew he was safe with this human, though he didn't know how he knew.

"I'm afraid I don't have any food for you."

That voice was also familiar, solidifying that he knew him, and his tail started to wag in response. He didn't mind the lack of food the not-stranger had – he'd eaten today already.

"You seem friendly for a stray…" the not-stranger said when he sat down at his knee, wanting to be close as possible. The not-stranger held out a palm and he sniffed it, his tail wagging harder at what he smelled. Yes, this was definitely his human.

"Were you with humans before? No collar, hm."

He had never been collared, his dark fur helping him hide in the shadows when humans searched for him.

He closed his eyes and sighed when the not-stranger touched his forehead, starting to pet him. The fingers moved back – and then paused at an ear.

"That can't be-"

He tilted his head up, opening his eyes to meet the not-stranger's wide ones. Did the not-stranger recognise him back?

"I must be imagining things," the not-stranger muttered, retrieving his hand. "Still…" The not-stranger stood up. "Would you like to come home with me?"

He nodded, standing up as well. The not-stranger made another soft sound. Returning home sounded nice.

Maybe he would remember more once they were home.
