Children of the Gods

"And he promised me nobody would find out." Feferi mock pouted. "Sorry about that. So, who is your significant other then?"

"If you're on about mate, it's you."

"I meant your partner Blaze. The girl - or guy I suppose - you get freaky with and have visions of a family with."

"You still don't work it out, Feferi I'm Piattro, well he nicest side of Piattro."

Feferi opened her mouth and then closed it, staring at him for a long time before declaring, "I think I'd remember if I slept with you. Are you yanking my chain?"

"No I'm not, I'm the side of Paiytro that he only has when he's with you, that's why you hardly see us together."

"So why are you here now when you're talking to your mother too?" Feferi sounded confused. "You don't look like the Piattro I know."

"Well yeah, I'm a tiger." Blaze told her. "Our mother doesn't know about this, it would scare the hell out of her if she knew."

"And you're stuck as a tiger?" Feferi dragged a hand through her hair. "Why the hell are you half tiger?"

"Technically I'm a hellhound, but Piattro liked tigers when he was a child so I became that to help him."

"But you're not either? Are you stuck like that?" Feferi slowly moved to sit as if her legs couldn't keep her up anymore.

"Yeah I'm stuck like this, but I like it."

"Seriously? I mean, that limits you right? What can you even do?" Feferi paused and then asked, a mix of curious and scandalised, "When Piattro and I, y'know, can you feel it too?"

"I can feel everything Piattro does."

Feferi sat back silently and then groaned. "Oh god, I'm so sorry if it's awkward for you."

He shrugged, lying down on her bed. "Don't worry about it,"

"But isn't it frustrating? Like, sexually? How the hell does a tiger get off? Sorry, sorry, personal question."

"There are many tigresses here."

"Oh, so you have multiple partners then? But we're only like..." Feferi gestured weakly. "Emotionally partners? Cause I'm sure you don't feel the same way for me Piattro does..."

"I don't have partners, mainly one big stands, whilst Piattro is the part who only loves you."

"So you don't love me at all, just stuck with me cause of Piattro." Feferi concluded.

"It's love, just not as much as Piattro does."

"I'd, like, try to help I suppose? I mean, if Piattro knew and we had similar...anatomy. Because it'd feel a bit rude if I scratched you behind the ears or gave you a belly rub..."

He laughed. "Don't worry about it, I can stop Piattro feeling certain things like that if you want me to."

"Oh hell I don't mind. I just don't want things hard on you cause I love all of Piattro and you're part of him too so it extends to you as well. I just like treating people fairly
Or, in this case, treating you, the tiger, fairly."
