Stray Cat - chapter twenty-two
Rating: Mature Word Count: 2093 Warnings: Past Abuse, Past Rape/Non-con, Slow Burn, Eventual Smut Summary: Phil Lester believes that if he does good things then good things will happen to him, so on one of the worst days of his life he invites a rain-soaked Neko boy named Dan into his home. Phil has never met a Neko before and he knows nothing about the dark system that has molded Dan. Dan is part of a repressed population with few rights, and as Phil gets to know him he can’t understand why – Dan is the most amazing person he has ever met. —
Martyn opened the door of his apartment for Phil with an expectant smile on his face. His smile fell when he saw Phil’s expression. He guided Phil to the living room, made him sit on the sofa, and he said, “Tell me what happened.”
Phil thought it would be difficult to explain, but it all came out in a rush. He had tucked the paper bag of money into the zipped jacket, and he pulled out the bag, telling Martyn that he only had half of the money he now needed to buy Dan. He kept his voice steady until he got to the description of where Dan was now being held, and Martyn handed him a paper napkin to dry his eyes. “Thanks.” Phil sniffled and tried to compose himself. “I have to keep it together for now. I can’t help Dan if I fall apart.”
“Right. Just remember that you’re not alone. I care about Dan, too. I’m here to help. So, we’ve got a deadline of a day or two to raise £10,000?”
Phil looked around Martyn’s apartment, as if hoping to see some valuable collectables materialize, but Martyn wasn’t much better off than Phil – living in London was expensive. “Is it too much to hope that you won the lotto since I last saw you?”
Martyn grimaced. “The only thing I have that’s worth any money is my car, and not that much money anyway. I could maybe get £2,000 for it, maybe 3.”
“I couldn’t let you do that, you’ve had that car since college.”
“Exactly, I’ve had it for ages and you’ve only had 2 weeks with Dan. I’m happy to give it up so that you two can be together. I only wish my car was worth more – I love it, but it’s kind of a wreck. So, we’re about £8,000 short. Any ideas?”
“I can sell the Muse tickets! That’s about £120 for the pair. I will also be getting my last paycheck from the stationary store… which should be about the same amount. I’ve… got nothing else. I’m completely broke. Even my credit card is maxed out.” Phil held his forehead in his hands. He could feel a headache coming on. “I don’t know what to do.”
“I’m sorry.” Martyn bit his bottom lip. “I wish I was a more successful. You’re supposed to be able to come to your big brother in times like this, but I’ve always cared more about doing what I love than making a lot of money. I’ve let you down.”
“No, Mar. You’re the best. I couldn’t ask for a better brother. I… I’ve got to call Mum and Dad to ask if I can borrow the money, don’t I?”
Martyn nodded. “I can’t think of any other way. Was that last conversation you had with Mum really that bad?”
“Yeah, pretty bad.” Phil frowned as he took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it. “She’s not going to appreciate the fact that I don’t call her for a couple weeks, and the first time I call her I’m asking for money. I can’t put this off until we’re on better terms though. There’s no time. Maybe if I put in on speakerphone and you talk too it will go better?”
Martyn shrugged. “Worth a shot. Are we doing this now? Do you know what you want to say?”
“I’m going to wing it.” Phil dialed the number, but it went to voicemail. He hung up and tried again. No answer.
He expected Martyn to say Mum was probably busy, but he said what they were both thinking, “She must still be cross with you. Want to try Dad?”
“I might have to, but I want to talk to her. You know Dad has her manage the money, so no matter what I say he is just going to say that he has to ask her. I don’t want him to pass along my message – I want to explain what happened.”
Martyn took his phone out and dialed the same number; Mum picked up on the second ring, and Martyn put the call on speakerphone.
“Child?” There was wariness in her voice, which was understandable given that Phil had been using Martyn’s phone the last time they talked.
“It’s both of us,” Martyn said. “Phil and I want to talk to you.”
She sighed and continued in a resigned voice, “I guess not every mother can say the same about her sons, so I should be grateful. What is it?”
Martyn looked at Phil who stared at him with wide eyes since his mind had gone blank and he didn’t know where to start. Martyn nodded in understanding and he said, “Something happened. Mum, I know you liked Linda when she and Phil were dating, but she did something really evil and we need your help putting things right.”
“Oh.” There was a pause. Then she said, “I would believe it. I know Linda has a darker side to her, but I always tried to see it in a good way, like maybe her dark could balance out the light in… in someone else. She did something? Are you boys okay?”
“No, but someone else is much worse,” Phil said, quickly finding his voice. He had become distracted by his mother’s view of his past relationship. He needed a distraction right now, so he fixated on it. “Mum, why did you think I needed balancing out? Why did you think Linda was right for me because she had this side to her?”
“You want to talk about this now? Um, okay. I thought it made her strong. I thought you needed someone like her. Just for the little things. Like, if you were in standing in line and someone cut line in front of you. You’re the type of person who ignores things like that, but Linda would shout at the person cutting in line until he stopped. I always thought you needed someone like Linda, so she could look out for you. I see now that I was wrong.”
“Yes, you were. I didn’t need someone to be strong for me. I needed someone who I could be strong for.” Phil took a calming breath because he couldn’t put this off any longer. “Mum, she did something to Dan. She sold him to a Neko shelter. I talked to the people at the shelter but explaining the situation didn’t do any good. They want money. They’re listing Dan for sale on their website in a day or two.”
“Dan has been… Oh, Phil, I’m so sorry. How much do they want for him?”
His mother’s soothing tone had calmed him, but he had to admit, “Mum, it’s a lot of money.”
Martyn took over with a description of their finances, plans to sell things, and how much they still needed. Mum listened without comment and then she sighed; Phil’s spirit fell at the sound. She said, “Your father and I just spent all of our savings remodeling the house. We don’t have anything accessible right now – it’s all invested in things like the timeshare. Oh, the timeshare in Florida! We could sell it. But… but it might take some time. I can contact an agent. Maybe if we let it go for cheap, just the amount you need for Dan, then maybe an offer will come in faster. I think it will take a bit longer than a day or two.”
“It’s okay, Mum,” he managed to get past the choking sensation in his throat. “I appreciate it, I really do. I know this is the best you can do, so thank you. This is just going to have to work. It’s the best we can do. We’re just going to have to hope that the money gets here in time before… before anything happens to Dan.”
“Phil, are you going to be okay?” Mum asked.
“I’m looking after him,” Martyn assured her, and it made Phil’s cheeks flush as he’d returned to the role of the one who needed help and protection in her eyes. He had assured her that he could look after himself, but he supposed that asking her for money wasn’t a good way to prove it.
“What about after? After we have this all worked out and Dan is safe?” Mum asked. “Phil, I know you lost your job and I’ve been worried about you. How are you going to pay your rent? Where are you and this Neko going to live?”
“Um, I’m working on that. I’ll find another job. I’m just… I’m just having trouble focusing on anything else besides getting Dan back right now. I can’t think of anything else. Please, I hate relying on you and my brother like this. I don’t want you to think of me as a helpless child. I just feel like half a person right now. I feel like the world is ending. My head is pounding, my thoughts are fuzzy, and it feels like someone rubbed steel wool on my soul. I can’t think about where I’m going to be living in about a week when my landlord knocks on my door and I have nothing. I don’t have it in me to worry about anything else right now.”
“You really like him,” Mum said in a soft voice.
“Yeah, I do. I love him,” Phil said. Martyn was staring at him, but Phil avoided eye contact. He didn’t want to start crying again, and he was getting very close to losing it.
“Come home, Phil. Once this is all settled, come home. You can stay here until you get your feet back on the ground. Your room is the same – we didn’t touch it during the remodel.”
He resisted asking her if they didn’t touch it because they were expecting him to fail at his life in London. This conversation made him insecure, but that was his issue. Mum was being wonderful about everything. “When you talk about me moving home, is that just me or would Dan be welcome to come with me?”
“Of course. I would want to meet him anyway.” There’s another pause, and when she spoke again it was in a different tone. Her voice had an authority behind that he recognized as 'mother’ though he was a 22-year-old man. “Listen, Phil, this is something I want you to do. I’m not going to pretend this is an ultimatum: I could say ‘Come home from London or I won’t lend you the money you need’, but that would be horrible of me. Of course I’m going to help you get Dan back, but this is something I want. Please move back home. This is what I’m requesting, since I’m helping you.”      
Phil looked at Martyn as if he might have a clue why Mum wanted this, but Martyn shook his head. Phil asked, “Mum, where is this coming from? Why is it so important to you?”
“I… let you down. I didn’t look out for you when I should have. I knew since you were a child how special and different you were, and that you would need to walk a different path from most people to be happy. You’re so creative, Phil. I can’t let you stay behind a cash register in a shop, letting the life drain out of you. You’re not happy. You won’t be happy if you take another job like that to pay your rent for that apartment. Come home and take some time to figure your life out.”
“I didn’t know you knew I was unhappy,” he said, thinking back on all the times he tried to fake it while talking to her. He never could fool her.
“That YouTube thing used to make you happy. Did you want to start doing that again?”
“Actually, yes. Dan just encouraged me to film a video the other day. I was going to edit it and post it on my channel – see if I still have any subscribers after this long unexplained hiatus. He wants to be a YouTuber, too.”
“That’s wonderful. You two could move home and work on that. I just want you to be happy, Phil. So, will you do this for me? Will you move back home?”
Phil looked at his brother for any signs of judgement, but Martyn nodded. So, his brother agreed with her. “Okay. I’ll do it. I’ll start packing when I get back to my place.”

Woohoo~! Now that I’ve returned from BronyCon I’m ready to report on it!  A big thank you to all the staff and attendees that made BC wonderful~!  This was my third year and I think it may have been my best one yet, I still have to do my final number crunching tho.
This was actually my first time ever manning a dealer corner booth by myself.  I was a little nervous but spent months working out the logistics!  This was also my first time selling wall scrolls, and I definitely understimated the demand on those! Ha, ha!
I’ll get into the nitty gritty after the cut, but I also want to announce that I’ve officially been accepted into AWA’s Artist Alley this year as well~!  So, I hope to see some of y’all in Atlanta come September!
I’ll admit, even after two years of BC I still wasn’t sure on which stock to prioritize.  It’s one of my harder cons to predict because it’s very niche.  Bring MLP obviously, but gauging what other fandoms will sell is tough!  I decided to think of BC as Momocon and bring similar numbers.  I was also not sure if I was near the exit or the entrance, turns out I was at the entrance, and I think this may have bumped up my sales.  There wasn’t like a continuous stream of non stop people from the entrance but it made my booth location easy to remember I think.
So, I was fairly surprised to find that a lot of my video game and anime items sold fairly well!  I sold out of nearly all my wall scrolls, including display copies, other than Barn Mates which had a couple remaining.  I had totally underestimated how popular wall scrolls would be. Dragon Maid, Splatoon, and Overwatch were very popular, however Steven Universe was less so compared to previous years.  I think, similar to Momocon, while SU does have a large fan base it’s at an age now where many artists have been able to produce merch, making for a saturated market.  I guess it makes sense that other girly series would do well at BC overall though.
Chrysalis remained the top contender for pony popularity in my sales, and I was down to my few display prints after selling 20 copies!  When I debuted her in 2015 I managed to sell almost 40, so she’s slowing down a bit but she’s still definitely my most popular print.
Prints were definitely my best seller!  I was worried a bit since last year I made a bunch of new MLP prints with the Mane Six VAs attending however I failed to sell many copies of most of my designs (I was also in the AA instead of the Dealer’s).  I still haven’t sold out of any ponies (minus Chryssi) but definitely moved a lot more this year!  Several of my anime/video game prints I became really short on as well, since I was mostly going off my Momocon leftovers.
I was also able to sell out of my grab bags while not having them eclipse my new merch, so that’s good.  The vast majority of them sold Sunday.
The art stands continued to not sell well compared to prints, buttons, and key chains.  After two conventions, I think I may need to rethink my art stand strategy if I want them to sell better.
Oh, oh!  Also my spinning key chain display finally got its chance to shine by being put on a corner.  That allowed customers to more easily see there was a second side when they could walk around it I think.  It’s something that I’ve had a great difficulty with when placing it on a single table facing outward.
As always, the staff of BronyCon were wonderful!  BC staff are some of my favorite of all the cons I’ve been to, to be real.  Their emails were always timely and informative, and questions I had were answered quickly as well.  Every now and then a staff member would make the rounds and make sure we vendors were doing okay, I didn’t have anything big to report though.
The vendor badges even have the hall opening and closing times printed on the back, and I appreciate that there were signs around the hall to discourage customers from photographing displays.  I realize the con staff can’t completely control con goers but the thought was appreciated!
I APPRECIATE THAT THE MARKET PLACE HOURS AREN’T STUPID LONG SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALLY GO GET DINNER AND HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS!
I think BC hits that sweet spot where it’s small enough to be well run but big enough that it attracts attendees who save up a lot to visit the Marketplace.  So, depending on what’s going on next year I’d love to come again!
Thank you for all who did visit me and the staff for hosting another great BC!

1 Page Commissions Review – What I Like & Don’t Like? A Honest Review
[1 Page Commissions Review]
100% Done-For-You Commissions Sites Pre-Loaded With Reviews & Bonuses!
1 Page Commissions Review – An Introduction
Have you tried and haven’t had any success yet as an affiliate?
Okay, while affiliate marketing is the fastest way to get started online, a significant number of people do it every day, ensuring that there is a massive increase in competition.
Which is why it is more difficult now than ever to take advantage of product marketing by sending traffic directly to affiliate links.
Only a few years ago, it was only appropriate to send traffic on fat commissions to affiliates.
It’s no longer like that.
Now there is a lot of effort involved, if you want to profit from partner promotions.
You would need videos, product reviews, a package of incentives and the internet to find out what is really good and what has been proven to offer affiliates great commissions.
Then you need to create review web pages that are most often built and technologically skillful after all the research is completed.
Then, for any product you support, you have to do it all over again.
It is a lot of hard labor you have still to do.
That’s why most new and part-time affiliates are struggling because they don’t have time and resources to get big commissions out of it.
That’s why 95% of the cash is invested by top affiliates, and the rest on peanuts.
But what if you can get commission ready pages right now, without waiting or work, with a click of the button?

In fact, you’ll get a shortcut to the traffic flood from the hottest traffic source with the included bonus downloaded from hundreds of millions active users.

3. 1 PAGE COMMISSIONS APP WORKS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX
None, no confusing menus or some other setup or anything like this is difficult. Provision pages can not be created more easily. What you need to do when your page is ready is to submit traffic for free payments. I can tell you that profit days are exciting if you haven’t experienced it yet.

1 Page Commissions Review – What? 100% Ready Made Reviews & Bonuses?
1 Page Commissions Review – 
100% Done-For-You Commissions Sites Pre-Loaded With Reviews & Bonuses!
1 Page Commissions Review – An Introduction
Have you tried and haven’t had any success yet as an affiliate?
Okay, while affiliate marketing is the fastest way to get started online, a significant number of people do it every day, ensuring that there is a massive increase in competition.
Which is why it is more difficult now than ever to take advantage of product marketing by sending traffic directly to affiliate links.
Only a few years ago, it was only appropriate to send traffic on fat commissions to affiliates.
It’s no longer like that.
Now there is a lot of effort involved, if you want to profit from partner promotions.
You would need videos, product reviews, a package of incentives and the internet to find out what is really good and what has been proven to offer affiliates great commissions.
Then you need to create review web pages that are most often built and technologically skillful after all the research is completed.
Then, for any product you support, you have to do it all over again.
It is a lot of hard labor you have still to do.
That’s why most new and part-time affiliates are struggling because they don’t have time and resources to get big commissions out of it.
That’s why 95% of the cash is invested by top affiliates, and the rest on peanuts.
But what if you can get commission ready pages right now, without waiting or work, with a click of the button?
Will it make obtaining those juicy commissions easier for you? Checkout my “1 Page Commissions Review” below

What People Are Saying About 1 Page Commissions
Top 5 Reasons Why I Would Recommend 1 Page Commissions
1. DIRECT SHORTCUT TO EASIER AFFILIATE COMMISSIONS
If you are a full newbie, are willing to find the direct shortcut to easier affiliate commissions, have zero technical abilities and never had a single commission. If so, I’ll show you how you overthrow the competition and steal your commissions without doing anything tributary, tiresome, or boring.
2. SHORTCUT TO THE FLOOD OF TRAFFIC FROM THE HOTTEST TRAFFIC SOURCE
In fact, you’ll get a shortcut to the traffic flood from the hottest traffic source with the included bonus downloaded from hundreds of millions active users. And because of the way the algorithm of the traffic source works, it’s almost impossible mathematically to get no views, likes , comments, followers and traffic.
3. 1 PAGE COMMISSIONS APP WORKS STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX
None, no confusing menus or some other setup or anything like this is difficult. Provision pages can not be created more easily. What you need to do when your page is ready is to submit traffic for free payments. I can tell you that profit days are exciting if you haven’t experienced it yet.
4. BREAKTHROUGH THAT AUTOMATES AFFILIATE MARKETING FROM START TO COMMISSIONS
It not only removes expensive and complicated time-consuming actions but also saves you money on lightning fast web hosting. It means everybody can be up, run and gain more easily than ever before.
For evergreen, top converters, you get 27 key-hand review pages so you can get on the ground even if you haven’t done a dimes online before. Since many of them have monthly recurring fees, you can also sell standard monthly passive commissions.
5. FREEDOM TO WORK FROM HOME OR FROM WHEREVER YOU WANT
Only a few years ago, all you had to do was to send traffic and collect commissions for affiliates. That’s no longer like it. Now there is a lot of effort involved, if you want to profit from affiliate promotions.
You would need videos, product reviews, a package of incentives and the internet to find out what is really good and what has been proven to offer affiliates great commissions. 1 Page Commissions is 100% DFY for this and it covers all the heavy lifting.

1 Page Commissions Review – Pricing & Evolution
The price is actually just 17 dollars, although the real value is 297 dollars. I think you have to pay a very reasonable price. You must hurry up, however. The price will soon grow after the start date.
When you take action now, unique early adopters may have a one-time agency rights discount.
You’ll also be able to try the software for 30 whole days. The vendor Andre Darius will gladly give back all the money you need, if you give the program and system the try and you decide it doesn’t matter. I ‘m sure when you start using this program, you will love this & won’t get a refund.

Ok, so who all wants to see some ancient designs?? Thought this might be fun since there's so many new people around lately, and even the not-so-new people may not know about these! Here's the first 3 skaters I ever made, back when I was still Syppah's Cute Creations mainly doing amigurumi crochet:
Tumblr media
Creepy Eyes is a true OG that's been around since about July 2015! It isn't very popular on skaters or joggers since I stopped doing cons, but it's still going strong as midis and maxis. I've also used the pattern on eyeglass cloths, face masks, scrunchies, tights, zipper bags, and more. I don't think I'll ever fully retire it, haha. The other two up there are Rainbow Narwhals and Cute Eyes (original light pink version below, got the hot pink version above as a misprint afterwards).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The next ones I got that no longer exist were Rainbow Candy, Double Rainbow Candy, and Happy Bees:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
tiny prehistoric pics because i can only find them in my old old etsy's sales history, haha As you can see, besides Creepy Eyes the vibes were incredibly different. I wanted to make clothing that could go alongside my ˜”*°•.★·.·´¯`·.·★𝓀𝒶𝓌𝒶𝒾𝒾 𝒶𝓂𝒾𝑔𝓊𝓇𝓊𝓂𝒾 𝓅𝓁𝓊𝓈𝒽𝒾𝑒𝓈★·.·´¯`·.·★.•°*”˜ even though my personal style and fashion interests were/are much more goth. That leaked through again with the Guro Guts skirt next.
Tumblr media
The first ever Guro Guts skirt was made just in time for Halloween 2015 In 2016, plushies were still my main focus and for a number of health reasons I was essentially dead that whole year. I don't think I added any new skirts at all..
The next big addition to my skirts was in April 2017 with this set:
Tumblr media
Demon Summoning and Vampire Night have survived until this day. Good Medicine on the top left was only made in this colorway for a short time before I switched to a purple & pink version that I also kawaii'd up. Vaporwave and Angel Summoning are both pretty much defunct as of 2021.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2017 Blue/Red Good Medicine, 2018(2019?) Purple/Pink Good Medicine. Both are discontinued
In late 2017, I separated out my clothing shop from my crochet shop and started going all-in on a more goth leaning aesthetic. Witch Vamp (originally "Witch Vampire") was truly born. A lot of designs from that time are ones you'll still recognize today
Tumblr media
The only other one that's pretty much gone these days is Rainbow Galaxy. I used to have it in skaters and joggers, but it's another one that wasn't as popular online as it was at cons. They're also like A Lot especially for my generally goth-ish shop
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rainbow Galaxy Skater (designed in 2017), Rainbow Galaxy Joggers (2018 or 2019.. unsure, haha) I last ran preorders with Rainbow Galaxy in 2021, but I don't think I got many orders. I've just let them fizzle out since then. But the skirt semi-lives on in the glorious mistake that is the Bomb Pop Skater
Tumblr media
Originally I had 3 of these because a few Rainbow Galaxy Skaters got printed without any yellow. But like, what a good mistake! Since then I've ordered them this way on purpose. EDIT: Another discontinued skirt was the Black Widow's Web. Idk even when I made it first. 2018? But it died in 2021.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next casualties, between 2020-2022 I discontinued a few more joggers due to slow sales:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Astrology Joggers, Creepy Eyes Joggers, Dark Galaxy Joggers (actually the 2nd version. V1 was a bit too.... phallic with the goo drips lmao) So after that, I think the main casualties have been *item types* rather than designs. I've dropped a lot of things (lanyards, zipper bags, wallets, all-over-print tshirts, tights, pvc charm keychains, and soon enamel pins) because they were great for cons, but don't really sell online. Or because they became obsolete (skirts w/out pockets).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's been a long journey! And if you go all the way back to my crocheting days, I've been at this whole "self-employed" thing since the day I turned 18 in 2008 and was able to open up an Etsy shop (had other jobs too back then tho, like I was a pharmacy tech for 2 1/2 years). Hope you all enjoy seeing these designs from the old days and learning more Witch Vamp lore!!!

Stray Cat - chapter twenty-one
Rating: Mature Word Count: 2828 Warnings: Past Abuse, Past Rape/Non-con, Slow Burn, Eventual Smut Summary: Phil Lester believes that if he does good things then good things will happen to him, so on one of the worst days of his life he invites a rain-soaked Neko boy named Dan into his home. Phil has never met a Neko before and he knows nothing about the dark system that has molded Dan. Dan is part of a repressed population with few rights, and as Phil gets to know him he can’t understand why – Dan is the most amazing person he has ever met. —
At 8:55AM, Phil was pacing before the door Neko House. The blinds were now drawn back and a receptionist was tracking Phil’s movements as he walked back and forth, staring longingly into the window. She got up, seemingly out of annoyance, and unlocked the front door. He followed her back to the front desk.
“Can I help you, sir?” she asked through her teeth.
He passed her the bill of sale. “I’m here about this Neko. He shouldn’t have been sold to you. Can I speak to someone about this please?”
She tapped her red-painted fingertips on her desk as she read. Finally, she decided to be helpful and she picked up her phone. “Reg, I have someone here asking about a Neko we recently bought. Can you talk to him?” Phil couldn’t hear what Reg said, but a moment later the woman hung up. She gave Phil a smile that was so phony he thought it might crack. “Reg is sending someone to escort you to his office. Feel free to take a seat while you wait.”
Phil glanced at the plush sofas and magazines in the waiting area, but he had no desire to rest there – he couldn’t imagine that Dan was resting comfortably in a similar place right now. Before Phil could walk far from the receptionist’s desk, a man entered the room. He had a ruddy complexion and his eyes searched the room until he found Phil, so this must be the man who was sent to bring him to Reg.
The man extended a hand to him. “Hello there, I’m Shaw. If you’ll just follow me?”
After they shook hands, Phil followed the ruddy-faced man. They walked down several hallways of what appeared to be a normal office building where people were just settling into their desks with their morning coffee. They came to an office where Shaw knocked briefly before opening the door. Shaw announced, “Man to see you.”
Phil allowed himself to be escorted to the desk of a man with ginger hair that was going silver at the temples. The man rose from his desk and shook Phil’s hand with another phony smile. Phil was getting tired of these smiles. He wanted to see a smile with dimples and freckles that was accompanied by sparkling brown eyes with laughter in them. He wanted Dan, but this was the only way to get him back, so he returned the man’s smile and shook his hand. “Hi, call me Reg. I hear that you are here about a Neko we bought?”
“Yes, hello. I’m Phil.” He handed Reg the bill of sale. “I’m here about this Neko.”
Reg looked at the paperwork and then glanced at the ruddy-faced man who was leaving the office. “Shaw, you bought this one. Would you sit with us while we discuss this?”
As they settled into the chairs across from Reg’s desk, Phil remembered what Linda had said about Dan’s sale: I just didn’t picture that it would be so… awful. He was scared. What had Shaw done to Dan? It took all of Phil’s self-control to stop himself from openly glaring at Shaw.
Reg looked up from the paperwork. “Okay, it says here that we purchased a young male Neko yesterday afternoon from a Ms. Linda Masters. This is the original bill of sale that we made out to her. What are your concerns?”
“Dan wasn’t hers to sell. He was living with me. Linda is my ex-girlfriend and she had no right to do this. I’ve talked to her, and if you call her she will corroborate all of this. Please, I got the money from her.” He put the paper bag on the desk. “It’s all there. Check it. Please, just take your money back and let Dan go.”
Reg looked at the bag and then back to Phil. He shook his head. “We don’t sell Nekos for the same amount that we purchase them for. If you want him, you’re going to have to pay the standard price.”
Phil stared at him in disbelief. “But… he’s been here for less than a day. Just undo the sale. I don’t want to buy him, just take him back. The sale wasn’t legal!”
Reg arched an eyebrow. “And just how did you come to own this Neko? Was that legal?” The man watched the blood drain from Phil’s face without comment. He picked up a file on his desk and opened it. “Yes, he’s only been here for a day, but we have already found out some interesting things about him. We don’t normally check for microchips, but he matched the description of a Neko that was reported missing a few weeks ago, and the microchip matched.”
Phil fisted his hands to stop them from shaking. Oh God, where was Dan now?
Reg hadn’t looked up yet from the contents of the folder. “So, we knew where he came from, but the person who reported him as missing hadn’t offered a reward. You can imagine our annoyance. Not only would there be no profit from this purchase, but we were also about to be out £10,000.” He glanced at Shaw with a shake of his head before looking at Phil. “So, this would have been a very bad investment, had we contacted the person who reported him missing and returned him.”
Phil let out a breath. “You still have him? He’s here?”
Reg nodded and shut the folder. “So, don’t accuse me of being disingenuous when I offer to sell him back to you. Yes, I’m making a bit of a profit, but legally I should just return him to his proper owner. Would you rather buy him from me?”
Phil nodded. “How much?”
“£20,000.”
Phil’s jaw dropped. The paper bag only held half of what he needed. “I… don’t have it. I mean, I don’t have it right now. But I’ll get it!”
Reg shrugged. “I suggest you hurry. We’re going to be listing him on our website any day now and he’s cute so I’m expecting a lot of interest. Technically, we’re running the risk that his original owner will see the listing on our website and claim him. I’d much rather sell him to a paying customer like you, so get the money soon if you want him.”
“Can’t you hold off on making the listing?”
Reg shook his head. “I don’t really see the point since you say you don’t have the money. His owner could be searching shelters like mine, so I want to get him out of here as quickly as possible.”
Phil swallowed heavily past a lump in his throat. He might never see Dan again… then he had a thought. “Could I visit him before I leave?”
Shaw led Phil down a flight of stairs to a different part of the building. It no longer looked like an office – it resembled a jail. The walls were bricks painted a pale yellow and they started passing rooms the size of closets that had actual barred cell doors. The occupants of the cells had no privacy from the people who walked by, and Phil only glanced into the first couple cells where the Nekos sat cowering on beds. He flushed and looked away, unsure why he was embarrassed. Perhaps it was because he hated walking in this role – just another potential owner coming to look at the stock for sale. This building disgusted him.
As he passed another cell, looking pointedly away, a woman grabbed his sleeve. Her long nails dug in and refused to let go as he tried to step away. “Um, excuse me?” he said.
She pressed her face against the bars, which weren’t wide enough to fit her whole head. She tugged on Phil’s shirt to pull him a step closer. She had long blond hair, but her ears were a light shade of brown. He wondered if it was natural or if she dyed her hair. “If you buy me, I’ll fuck you. I’ll fuck you well, you won’t regret it. Just get me out of here.”
“No, thank you. Please let go?” He felt sick.
“Shove off, Nancy,” Shaw said, placing a hand on her wrist. She recoiled from his touch and walked back into the shadows in her cell. Shaw turned to Phil. “Your boy is a couple cells down that way.”
Phil’s heart leapt. He jogged a bit further down the hallway, looking left and right into cells, but it was too dark to see who was inside (the only lights were in the hallway, not in the cells). Irrational panic set in, making him think that maybe Dan had already been sold, so he shouted, “Dan? Are you here?”
Someone moved in the cell to his left, flinging himself so fast against the bars on the cell that Phil jumped in surprise. The Neko inside was wearing white scrubs and his brown curly hair was wild, so it took Phil a second to recognize Dan, but he knew the large hand with the tanned skin that reached for him. Then Phil tackled the cell door that separated them with the same enthusiasm, as if they could part the iron if they pressed their bodies hard enough.
Dan’s arms were wrapped around him, holding him as close as possible, and Phil was stroking Dan’s neck and his hair. Phil was torn between kissing Dan and looking at him, but he decided on the latter and checked his face for signs of harm. His eyes were red-rimmed and puffy, so he could tell that the Neko had been crying recently. He asked, “Are you okay? Have they hurt you?”
Dan shook his head. “No, I’ve just been here. In this cell. Phil, how did you find me?”
“Linda. I saw on my phone that she had called, and you’d talked to her. I confronted her and she confessed to everything. Dan, I’m—”
Dan cut him off, “I’m so sorry. I was so stupid. I shouldn’t have trusted her. I let her lure me out of the house. This is all my fault.”
“Dan, it’s okay. It’s going to be okay.” Phil tried to hold him closer.
He shook his head and tears started rolling down his cheeks. “No, it’s not. I’m… they’re going to… It’s over, Phil. I’m going to be sold to someone. That’s why you’re here, right? To say goodbye?”
Tears burned in Phil’s eyes. He hadn’t come to say goodbye, but it might be true. If he didn’t get the money before Dan was listed on the website, then this might be the last time they spoke. Phil was an optimist, but it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel right now. He had to be strong for Dan though, so he held the tears in and shook his head. “No, I’m…” his voice was choked and he had to clear his throat before going on. “I’m not here to say goodbye. I’m here to tell you that you’re coming home.”
“Now?” Dan’s eyes widened. He looked at the bars between them as if he was expecting them to vanish at any moment.
Phil winced at the desperate hope that he had sparked in Dan. “No, Kitten, not yet. I need to get the…”
Dan sighed and finished Phil’s sentence, “Money. You need to get the money, right? No, Phil, you can’t do this. I know I’m expensive and you don’t have the money. Please.”
“Please what? Let you go? No. No! I’m saving you and there’s nothing you can do to stop me, so just deal with it.”
Dan leaned his forehead against the bars and closed his eyes. “Okay. I guess I will just deal with it because I can’t fathom the alternative. I’m so scared, Phil.”
Phil moved his fingers in what he hoped were soothing circles on the back of Dan’s neck. “I know. I’m scared too, and I’m not even the one in the cell. I can’t lose you. I can’t picture my life without you.”
Dan gave him a sad smile. “Come on, you’ve only known me for about two weeks, right? You could just go back to the life you had before you found me in the rain.”
Phil shook his head. “No. I think we both know that it’s too late for me.”
Dan narrowed his eyes. “We do? No, what are you talking about?”
Phil bit his lip and hesitated. He wanted to say this in their home when they were happy and safe, but realistically he knew there was a chance that time would never come. If this really was the last time he saw Dan, he had to tell him. “I can’t go back to my life before I knew you. I already love you. I have for a while now. I love you.”
Dan pressed harder against the bars. “I do, too. I love you so much. You believe me, right? I was worried about what you were thinking, since that last night we had together. You know I love you, don’t you?”
Phil nodded. “Yes, please don’t worry about that night. It doesn’t matter anymore.” Phil leaned in, and it was awkward with the bars between them, but they were able to brush lips. Dan tasted like salt, and Phil realized that the taste was from the tears drying on his skin. Phil’s vision was blurry with his own tears when he pulled away, and he reached under his glasses to rub his eyes and then his nose. “Sorry, I’m like a faucet. Ugh, gross.”
Dan gave a slight laugh. “I don’t mind.”
A sound of a throat clearing made them both jump. Dan still had both of his arms wrapped around him, but Phil turned to see that Shaw had been standing in the hall the whole time. Phil blushed since he had assumed that Shaw left, but he would have still done everything the same knowing that Shaw was there; Dan was more important.
Dan saw who was standing there and started trembling, so Phil tightened the one arm that he still had wrapped around the Neko. “What is it?” he asked Shaw.
Shaw looked at his watch. “I was supposed to escort you here and then escort you out of here. I’ve given you enough time. I have things to do, so can you wrap this up?”
“What? Got an appointment to buy another teenager?” Phil snapped.
“Phil,” Dan whined in warning.
Shaw’s ruddy face darkened a shade, and Phil took a calming breath. He said, “I’m sorry. What I meant to say is if you’re busy, maybe you can take us somewhere? There must be rooms around here. Couldn’t you leave us there, so that we can talk for a while? Please?”
Shaw shook his head. “There’s no room. This isn’t a social club. Reg made an exception for you with this one visit. We don’t usually let people down here until there’s been a credit check first.”
His grip tightened on Dan. He had been hoping that he could come back if it took a while to get the money. This could be it. If he didn’t get the money, then this was the last time he would ever see him.
Dan gave a hiccupping sob, and Phil turned his attention back to him. Dan shook his head as tears rolled down his cheeks. “Just give me a second. I can get control of myself. If this doesn’t go well and this is the last time you see me, I don’t want to look like a mess.”
Phil reached up to touch the cheeks that were blotchy from crying. “You look beautiful. And you’re going to see me again. It’s going to be fine. I promise.”
Dan nodded, his face still in Phil’s palm. “Even if I have to run away from whoever buys me – I’ve done it before – I’ll come back to you.”
“Don’t worry about that. It won’t come to that. I’m going to come for you. I love you.”
Shaw appeared at Phil’s side, silently urging them apart.
“I love you, too.” Dan said as he drew his arms back into the cell.
“I love you,” Phil said again and he withdrew his arms. He looked into the tiny cell where he was leaving Dan. There was a bed in the corner with a thin sheet, and he knew the bed was too small for Dan to stretch out on it. A toilet was exposed in the corner and a plate of food was untouched on the floor. This was like a jail sentence that Dan had done nothing to deserve. How could Phil leave him here? He wanted to break down the bars and free him, but he was powerless. He could do nothing but walk away, his feet dragging on the floor with every step.
