Prolog
Dating a human came with a set of challenges and surprises that Senri wasn't quite prepared to face, but for the wonder of his redheaded soulmate, he set to overcome those with determination he was quite well-known among his clan.
After the first – promised – ass-kicking by his eldest brother due to the stunt he pulled in his insane scheme of courting his Raha, Ares quite helpfully shared with him a sage advice and pointers in human customs as partaking to their mating… And, perhaps – as later accused – Senri took them a tad too literally, not accounting for the fact that despite being brothers, like them, Damon – his brother's mate – and Raha were a very different type of humans, apparently...
"...no shit."
"You shut your pretty mouth, my cute mate. You promised to write it down faithfully, remember?"
"... whatever."
Though, perhaps predictably, it took him a bit to figure out that part.
Senri's understanding of how exactly the social rituals between humans were supposed to look like, was… a tad spotty.
After their parents were slain in an ambush by a rival clan when he was a mere toddler, his two older brothers took it upon themselves to raise him the best they could – if their ideas about it were quite… unconventional even for the members of their clan. Compensating, perhaps, for the sudden loss when they themselves were teenagers, Ares and Hades focused their whole interest on him – in essence, spoiling him rotten.
That he inherited their father's famed beauty – what he shared in with Ares – worked for a fact that when other kits were supposed to stretch out their 'wings' and started learning of the world, Senri was carefully kept contained to their clan's lair instead. His caregivers care for his well-being – both mental and physical – making his brothers far too wary to let him off their sight before they were sure he wouldn't fall victim to others' greed for his looks or inborn gift.
With that in mind, let this guide be a 'faithful' recount of what to except for a young shapeshifter when facing the trials awaiting them in a human world.
Dictated by Senri Lightbringer of the Seeker and Keeper Clan, and written down by his impossibly adorable soulmate, Raha of the lost Allagan Clan.
"Mallory. Raha Mallory, remember?"
"...when was the last time you looked in the mirror, love? Because the way they look, your gorgeous ruby eyes are almost as vertically slit as mine."
"...shut up. I'm not changing my surname at least until the first time I can actually shift."
"As you desire, my prince!"
"...silly cat, that's what you are, Senri. That's what your surname should be, too. "
"Ow, do I, then, don't bring light to your life, mate?"
'...you do, but you don't have to be so smug about that."
