Cid/Shera maybe more later on.
Summary: He had been afraid to tell her, all of them, what he really was. But now he has to.

Prologue
The blond man groaned as he got up, last night's booze bash with Shera had left him with one hell of a hangover. Cid's mind was not properly in gear as he looked over to see Shera fast asleep beside him.
"Planet, that woman is beautiful," he thought to himself.
He reached over to the table beside him, feeling around for his cigarettes. He lit one up and turned once more to the woman beside him. The small light from the cigarette casting a slight golden glow over Shera's sleeping form. As the smoke billowed softly out of the end of his cigarette he thought to himself "How the hell am I gonna tell her?"
Cid himself had been cursed since the very day he was born. Not both of his parents were human. His mother was human, a gentle soul, but his father had been a savage looking creature. Thick, golden fur covered his massive body, claws instead of fingers, a long snout housing sharp, white teeth, and a gleam in his eyes that tore into your very soul.
Cid had been left somewhere in between, being able to change between both of his forms.
One form being: human. The other: very, not human.
He hated it, never really knowing whether he was human or not. So he had chosen to remain in his human form unless there was an absolute need for the other side to be shown.
Never had he told a soul about his 'heritage' and had planned on keeping it that way.
Until now...
