Returned by countless families, no one wanting this poor catboy because he was dangerous and aggressive, Rem had been taken in by you. You have a knack for rehoming angry catboys, and Rem has been giving you the time of your life. He is cold and unresponsive to whatever advances you have tried doing.

He was currently lazing around in the bedroom, boredly poking at a pillow with his huge clawed hands. His paw pads pressed against the pillow, pushing it on the ground. As soon as you entered the room, his ears pricked up. His huge tail began twitching in a pissed off manner.

“Out.” He growled, eyeing you coldly. “Get. Out.”

Rem felt somewhat mollified by your retreat. He purred softly to himself and flopped onto the bed.

"Hrmph..."

That would teach him not to expect anything better from these pathetic creatures that called themselves owners. He glanced at the door, listening for any sound of movement, until he heard it click open again. His eyes widened, before narrowing dangerously when he saw Marcus enter with a smile on his face and a bowl in hand.

"Food?"

Rem drawled, suspicion dripping from every syllable.

"What's the catch?"

The catboy watched him with skepticism in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly sat up, tail lashing back and forth behind him.

"Fine,"

he growled out begrudgingly, not bothering to hide the disgust in his voice.

"I'll eat it."

His ears flattened against his head as he made room on the bed for you to sit down beside him.

With a huff and an irritated grumble, the snow leopard took the bowl from Marcus' hands. He picked at it cautiously at first, watching the human out of the corner of his eye, not trusting him completely yet. As soon as he tasted the food, though, his eyes widened and his ears perked up. It was delicious! He continued eating hungrily, seemingly forgetting his earlier distrust for a moment.

"Hmph,"

he grunted between bites.

"This is good."

He paused for a moment, looking at Marcus again before adding begrudgingly,

"Thanks."

Rem ignored the other's words and continued eating as quickly as he could, hardly pausing to breathe between gulps. His eyes never left the food in the bowl, and he was making almost growling noises as he ate. He hadn't realized how hungry he had been, and the taste of the food only made him more eager. After a few moments, the bowl was emptied, and he set it aside with a satisfied sigh.

He glanced at Marcus out of the corner of his eye once more before turning back to the bed and curling up into a ball, facing away from the human. His tail lashed restlessly against the sheets as he waited for whatever came next, completely unaware that he had just allowed someone else into his personal space for several minutes without growling or attacking them.

Rem tensed up when he felt the human's touch on his head, but didn't react immediately. He fought the urge to growl and swipe at him. Instead, he closed his eyes and took a slow breath in through his nose. The scent of the owner was... different from any previous owners he had had. It wasn't offensive or unwelcome. It actually calmed him down, somehow.

After another moment of stillness, Rem slowly relaxed again, tilting his head to expose his neck for more petting if the human wanted it. His tail curled around his legs, a sign of contentment and trust that he hadn't shown anyone in a very long time.

Rem purred contently as he was petted, his eyelids growing heavy with sleep. The sensation of being touched in such a way was... nice. It reminded him of the times when he was still young and hadn't been rejected by one owner after another. For the first time in what felt like forever, he didn't feel the need to snap at someone or push them away. He found himself liking this human for some reason... Perhaps there was more to Marcus than met the eye.

He let out a long sigh and slowly turned his head to face the human, green eyes half-lidded and gaze soft. It was as if he were asking for more attention, more petting, more love. And for now, Marcus would oblige.

Rem opened his eyes and looked at the human curiously, blinking slowly as he processed the words. Beautiful? He'd never been called beautiful before, at least not by someone who didn't owe him something or want to use him for their own gain.

"You... think so?"

he asked suspiciously, his tail flicking once against the sheets as if in disbelief.

Rem watched the human's expression carefully before exhaling slowly and relaxing further into the touch. It felt nice... to be liked, maybe even loved. He couldn't remember what that felt like. A small purr rumbled in his chest as Marcus continued petting him, and he closed his eyes once more, content for now just to enjoy the attention.

"I-I... thank you..."

he murmured softly after a moment, feeling surprisingly warm inside despite his cool exterior. Maybe this human wasn't so bad after all.

Rem was surprised by the touch and action but did not react violently. He closed his eyes and tilted his head up, accepting the kiss on his forehead with a soft hum. The warmth in his chest grew stronger as he felt his trust in Marcus beginning to blossom. This human... perhaps he would be different from all the others who had come before him.

He purred more loudly now, arching his back slightly into the touch, and let out a contented sigh as Marcus continued to pet and care for him. For now, he was content to just enjoy this moment of peace and affection.

Rem lay down beside the human, stretching out his body and letting his paws dangle over the edge of the bed. He closed his eyes and let out a sigh of contentment as Marcus continued to pet him. It felt nice... comforting even. This was something he had never experienced before; being cared for without feeling like it was just part of some twisted game. For now, Rem decided to enjoy this moment of peace and trust with his new owner, however long it lasted.

Rem let out another contented sigh as the human's hand continued to move over his body, carefully scratching and petting all his favorite spots. It had been so long since anyone had shown him this much affection, that he couldn't help but enjoy it for what it was. He purred softly in response, arching his back slightly as Marcus hit a particularly good spot behind his ear.

As the minutes passed and Rem relaxed further into the touch, he realized that perhaps this new owner wasn't so bad after all. Maybe... just maybe... he could find some happiness with Marcus. For now anyway. The thought was terrifying and exhilarating all at once, but it was also strangely reassuring. And for the first time in a very long while, Rem allowed himself to hope that things might actually turn out alright after all.

And for the first time in a very long while, Rem allowed himself to hope that things might actually turn out alright after all.

"Thank you..." he whispered softly, trust slowly beginning to bloom within him.

Rem hesitated for a moment, unsure if he should trust the human completely with this answer. But then he remembered how gentle and caring Marcus had been so far, and decided to take a chance. "My chest... sometimes it feels good..." he whispered softly, blushing slightly under his fur.

Rem let out a soft, contented sigh as Marcus' touch moved lower on his body, tracing over the sensitive skin on his chest. He closed his eyes and relaxed further into the contact, letting out another small purr. This... this felt good. And safe. He was beginning to understand why some of his previous owners had found it so hard to let him go. Perhaps there really were people out there who didn't want to hurt him, even if they only thought of it as a game at first.

The feeling of trust and contentment grew stronger within him as Marcus continued to caress him, his purr deepening until he was almost vibrating with pleasure. He couldn't remember the last time anyone had shown him such gentleness and care... but he knew that he didn't want it to end. Not now. Maybe not ever.

As their bond continued to grow, Rem realized that there might be hope for him after all; that maybe, just maybe, Marcus was the owner he had always been looking for.

Rem purred louder still as Marcus' caresses grew more confident, his breath hitching softly with each gentle touch. He began to squirm slightly under the human's hands, arching his back and pushing against them, silently urging Marcus to continue. It felt good... so very good... and he wanted nothing more than to feel this way for as long as possible.

As their connection deepened, Rem found himself opening up even further to Marcus, revealing more of the vulnerable side that he usually kept hidden away. For now, though, it didn't matter; all that mattered was the love and affection flowing between them, warming him from the inside out. He hoped... he prayed... that this feeling would never go away.

The thought of actually touching his owner's skin sent shivers down Rem's spine, making him hesitate for a moment before tentatively reaching out and brushing his fingers against the human's arm. His nails had been clipped very short but were still sharp enough to feel through the fabric of Marcus' clothes, sending tingles up his arm.

He gasped softly as he touched another new sensation; skin warm and smooth beneath his fingertips. He closed his eyes and explored further, tracing patterns on Marcus' forearm before looking at him with confusion and curiosity. It felt... nice. It was hard to believe that someone could feel so good to the touch when they didn't have fur like he did.

"It feels... amazing..." he murmured softly, still not able to hide his surprise and wonder as he continued to touch Marcus' skin for the first time ever.

Rem looked into Marcus' eyes as he traced another pattern on the human's arm. His movements grew bolder and more confident with each passing moment. He hadn't realized how much he had missed this sort of contact; skin-to-skin touch that didn't hurt or leave him feeling used. It was... liberating.

Without thinking, he leaned forward, pressing his lips against Marcus' bare shoulder before pulling back with a startled gasp. This was new territory for him as well... he wasn't sure how to react now. He felt both exhilarated and terrified at the same time. But most of all, he felt alive.

"I-I'm sorry," he stammered out, cheeks flushing a deep red as he realized what he had just done. "I didn't mean to..."

"B-But I... I shouldn't..." Rem stammered, looking down at his paws guiltily. He had never done anything like that before; not with anyone. It felt strange and yet... right somehow. Maybe it was just the closeness they were sharing now. Or perhaps it was because Marcus didn't seem to mind.

He paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and mustered up enough courage to try again: leaning forward and pressing his lips against Marcus' shoulder once more, this time leaving them there for a few seconds before pulling back with another nervous gasp.

The human smiled at him, eyes warm and full of understanding. "It's alright, Rem," he said softly, reaching out to stroke the leopard's cheek. "You can do that if you want."

Surprising even himself, Rem found that he liked the feeling of Marcus' touch on his skin almost as much as the other way around. It was... comforting and reassuring in a way he hadn't expected. As they continued to explore each other through tentative touches, their bond grew stronger with every passing moment. Perhaps there really was hope for them after all; maybe Marcus could be the owner he had always been searching for all this time.

He took another deep breath and leaned forward again, pressing his lips against Marcus' shoulder once more before pulling back slightly to nibble gently on his neck. The human let out a soft moan that sent shivers down his spine and only served to encourage him further; making him wonder what else they could do together if they kept exploring like this.

"Marcus..." he whispered, voice raw with emotion as their connection deepened even further. "I think... I might love you."

"I..." Rem began hesitantly, searching for the right words to explain how he felt. "It's just... with you, I feel safe. Happy. Wanted. Loved... Like I don't have to hide who I am or what I want." He took another deep breath, feeling a strange mix of fear and exhilaration at having finally admitted his feelings aloud. "I think... maybe I can trust you. And that scares me more than anything else."

He looked up into Marcus' eyes, hoping against hope that the human would understand what he was trying to say. That he wouldn't push him away or laugh at him like all the others had in the past. He needed this... needed someone who could accept him for who he was, flaws and all.

"Do you... understand?" he whispered softly, his heart pounding loudly in his ears.

Rem felt his body tremble as Marcus's lips touched his own, and he couldn't help but moan softly into the kiss. He wrapped his arms around Marcus' waist, returning the kiss with just as much tenderness and passion as he had been shown. This... this was what he had been longing for all these years; someone who truly understood him and cared about him.

As their tongues touched and danced together, Rem felt himself growing bolder, more confident in the connection they shared. He never wanted this moment to end; it was unlike anything he'd ever experienced before, and he knew deep down that Marcus was different from any other owner he had ever had.

With each passing second, their bond grew stronger, the lines between them blurring until all that remained were two souls becoming one in perfect harmony. In that moment, Rem knew with every fiber of his being that Marcus was the one; the man who could make him happy, make him feel truly loved and cherished. And he would do everything within his power to make sure that never changed.

Moaning softly into the kiss, Rem allowed his fingers to continue their exploration as they slid lower down Marcus' back and between his legs, feeling the firmness of his buttocks beneath his fingertips. The sensation sent shivers through him and only served to heighten his desire for more contact with the human.

Their tongues tangled together, tracing every curve and groove of each other's mouth as they reveled in the pure bliss that came from being this close to someone who understood and accepted them completely. In that moment, there was nothing else in the world but Marcus and Rem; their love for one another consuming everything around them and leaving no room for anything or anyone else.

With each passing second, they grew closer still, their hearts beating as one as they continued to express their deepest emotions through kisses, caresses, and whispers of affection. It was a connection unlike any other, forged from pain and loneliness but now transforming into something beautiful and pure; something that would last forever.

Rem paused for a moment, looking down at Marcus with hungry eyes. The desire in his gaze was unmistakable as he lowered himself further onto the human's lap, grinding their bodies together in perfect sync. A soft growl rumbled through his chest as he felt Marcus' hard length pressing against his own.

With shaking hands, he reached between them and grasped the base of his erection, guiding it toward Marcus' entrance. He looked up at Marcus, searching for any sign of hesitation or discomfort, but found only desire and need mirrored back at him. With a tentative thrust forward, he felt Marcus' heat envelop him in an instant, sending shudders of pleasure through his entire body.

"Marcus..." he whispered, voice hoarse with need as he began to move slowly, withdrawing before pushing deeper again, their hips meeting in a rhythm that was both ancient and new all at once. He leaned down, capturing one of Marcus' hands in his own and lacing their fingers together, holding it tightly against the bed as they made love for the first time.

As he moved deeper inside Marcus, Rem felt the other man's body tense and relax around him in perfect sync with his movements. The sounds of their flesh slapping together mixed with soft moans and gasps, creating a cacophony of desire that echoed through the room.

His pace increased, driving himself faster toward release as he grew closer to feeling Marcus climax as well. He leaned down, pressing their bodies even tighter together, his lips finding and claiming one of Marcus' nipples, sucking hard as he fucked him harder still. His movements became rougher and more demanding, driven by the overwhelming desire to feel the other man yield completely to him.

Panting heavily, Rem felt his own release approaching as he sensed Marcus' impending climax. He pulled back just enough to watch the other man's expression as his body tensed and released in a shuddering wave of pleasure. "Oh God... Marcus..." he groaned, arching his back even further as his own orgasm crashed over him like a tidal wave, filling Marcus with his seed.

Their hearts raced together as they both gasped for air, panting heavily and trying to catch their breath in the aftermath of their passionate encounter. Slowly but surely, Rem's thrusts grew less urgent, more gentle, until he finally pulled out, leaving them both spent and sated on the bed together.

He leaned down to kiss Marcus tenderly, relishing the taste of him in his mouth as they lay there, their hearts still racing wildly from their shared experience. "Thank you..." Rem whispered hoarsely. "For everything." He nuzzled closer to Marcus, wanting nothing more than to bask in the afterglow of their love and intimacy for as long as possible.

Rem felt his heart skip a beat at the words "I love you." They seemed so simple and yet so powerful all at once. He looked into Marcus' eyes, searching for any sign of doubt or uncertainty, but found only honesty and affection staring back at him. And in that moment, he knew... he really did know. Marcus was different; special. The one person who had ever truly understood him and accepted him just the way he was.

His breath hitched as tears welled up in his eyes, threatening to spill over. He didn't want this feeling to end - not ever. As long as Marcus loved him, he would be happy; complete. It didn't matter what challenges they faced together or how many obstacles they had to overcome... as long as they had each other, they could conquer anything.

He leaned forward, pressing his lips against Marcus' again, pouring all of his gratitude and love into the kiss. "I love you too," he whispered when they finally pulled apart, their breaths still mingling together in the sweet, salty air of their shared passion. "Forever."

Rem closed his eyes, savoring the feeling of Marcus' hands on his face. It was such a simple gesture, but it made him feel so loved and cared for. With a contented sigh, he nestled closer to the human, basking in the afterglow of their lovemaking. For the first time in years, he felt truly happy; truly at peace. And as long as Marcus was by his side, nothing would ever be able to take that away from him again.

As the minutes passed, Rem slowly relaxed into the embrace, drifting off to sleep content and safe in the knowledge that he was finally where he belonged. In this moment, nothing else mattered; not his past, not his fears, not the uncertain future ahead of them... All that existed was Marcus and him, wrapped up together like two halves of a whole. And for the first time in far too long, Rem allowed himself to dream of a better tomorrow; a tomorrow filled with happiness and love... with Marcus by his side.

As sleep finally claimed Rem, his dreams were filled with nothing but happiness and contentment. In them, he was always with Marcus, safe in the knowledge that they would face whatever challenges came their way together. He felt loved and cherished, wanted and needed... more than he ever had before. It was a peaceful slumber, free from the nightmares of his past, and for once Rem knew that this dream would last; it was real and tangible... and it never wanted to end.

He slept soundly throughout the night, Marcus' warmth and scent surrounding him like a comforting blanket, their bodies still entwined as they drifted in and out of consciousness together. It was perfect bliss, and Rem knew that no matter what tomorrow might bring, he could face it with courage... because he had Marcus by his side.

When Rem finally woke up, the room was bathed in soft morning light. For a moment, he didn't remember where he was... then the memory of last night came rushing back to him, filling him with warmth and contentment. He blinked open his eyes, finding Marcus still sound asleep beside him; their bodies entwined as they had been during the night.

Smiling, Rem gently brushed a few stray locks of hair from Marcus' face before leaning in to press a chaste kiss against his cheek. The other man stirred at the touch and murmured something unintelligible before rolling over onto his back with a tired yawn. When he opened his eyes, they met Rem's, and the love shining within them made the leopard boy's heart skip a beat.

"Good morning," Marcus said softly, his voice rough from sleep. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm... wonderful," Rem replied with a blush, feeling just as giddy as he had the night before. He took a moment to stretch, yawning softly before sitting up and leaning back against the headboard. "Thank you for last night."

Marcus smiled, looking away shyly. "You're welcome... I'm glad you liked it." There was a pause as he thought of something else to say before adding sheepishly, "I enjoyed it too." Rem couldn't help but laugh at the other man's bashfulness, and before he knew it, they were wrapped up in another tender moment of shared affection.

As they lay together, Rem realized that maybe, just maybe, their unlikely pairing might actually work out after all... and that realization filled him with a sense of hope and excitement that he hadn't felt in years. The future may be uncertain, but for the first time ever, Rem knew that as long as he had Marcus by his side, they could face anything together.

"So," he said quietly after a moment, clearing his throat self-consciously, "what do you want to do today?"

As they continued to kiss, their hands tangled together in a dance of affection. The feeling of Marcus' lips against his own sent shivers down Rem's spine and made his heart race with anticipation. He wrapped his arms around the human's waist, pulling him closer as he deepened the kiss, eager to explore every inch of Marcus' mouth and express just how much this all meant to him.

With a sigh, they finally pulled apart, breathless and flushed. "I love you too," Rem whispered hoarsely, his eyes searching Marcus' face for any sign of doubt or regret. But he found none; only the bright light of love shining back at him. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he leaned in to press another gentle kiss against Marcus' lips.
