“Hey...Heeeyy...wake uuuup…”

Avery was coming to, starting to wake up after being knocked out. He had the feeling he knew where he was. He was in the Examination Office. The place where the Therian Doctors examine their new-

“Wake up already!” The voice said, as Avery got a hefty slap to his face.

Avery opened his eyes, now fully awake, only to see he’s in a well-built cabin. He tried to get up, but something heavy was on top of him. He looked to see Kane was sitting on his chest...again. After a brief moment of panic, he calmed down.

“Wh-where am I…” Avery asked, rubbing a bruise on his head.

“Well...I was thinkin’ about turnin’ you over to The Zoo, but then I had a thought…” Kane said, with his tail wagging slowly. “I could just keep you with me! I don’t really like The Zoo, and their rewards are just Meat and stuff. So I’ll let you stay with me, and I’ll feed you…”

“R-really?” Aver stuttered, still a bit scared.

“Buuuuut…” Kane said, with a sly looking Grin on his face. “Since I’m bein’ this nice...that means you OWE me~!”

Avery gulped a bit, already not liking where this was going.

“If I’m gonna do all this for you...I want you to do some stuff for ME!” Kane said. “I want you to play with me, pamper me...basically whatever I feel like. If you got a problem, I can always chuck you outside and let someone else find you~”

Avery hid a bit more under his blankets, sweating a bit from fear and anticipation. He thought for a moment, unnerved by the sly smile that still remained on Kane’s face. He then responded,

“O-okay...j-just don’t turn me over to The Zoo...p-please…” Avery said, sheepishly.

“Eheheh...deal~” Kane said, getting off Avery so that he could get up.

Avery got up, with his head still throbbing a bit. Now that they were both standing up, he could see that Kane was a full half a foot taller than him, and clearly more muscular. It’s like every second he realized just how futile resistance would be. Where’s a Gun when you need it?

“Oh! One more thing!” Kane said, putting a collar around Avery’s neck.

“...Seriously…” Avery questioned, feeling very demoralized at this point.

“Hey they won’t take you if you’re owned~” Kane replied, flicking his nose, which hurt a lot more than you’d expect. “Don’t complain, just freaken’ wear it.”

Avery sighed a bit and adjusted it to wear it was comfortable. Didn’t feel too bad but...it really did make him feel like he was a pet...fair enough he thought. He was snapped out of his deep thought by suddenly being lifted up into the air. He looked down to see Kane was holding him over his head.

“Hey, are Humans fragile, by the way?” Kane asked, with his tail now wagging much faster.

“U-umm...r-relatively speaking…” Avery nervously answered.

“Eh. This shouldn’t be too much then.” Kane said, slamming Avery onto the bed, which, again, hurt more than you’d expect.

“O-ow!” Avery yelped, upon hitting the mattress. “Th-that frea-”

Avery was cut off by Kane choking him with a headscissor move. He tried to move his legs, but, as you probably guessed, Kane was WAY too strong.

“I was getting bored only getting to wrestle Beng!” Kane said, seeming more excited than Avery would be comfortable with. “Just let me know if I’m about to break something r deprive you of oxygen-”

“NOW THAT WOULD BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW-” Avery choked out, starting to get a bit blue in the face.

“Oh shit-” Kane said, quickly letting go. Avery gasped for air and Kane patted his back a bit. “Are you okay?”

“Y-yeah...mostly…” Avery said, starting to breathe normally again.

“Alright, good!” Kane said, pushing Avery over and sitting on his back. “I wanted to see how long I can use my favourite pin before I’d hurt you~”

He grabbed Avery’s legs, tucking them under his arms and leaning back, a classic textbook Boston Crab. Avery could feel the pain burning in his back and his legs, but it wasn’t TOO much. He had grown up getting used to pain, so unless he really cranked it he wasn’t gonna get any serious injuries.

“AGH-” Avery exclaimed, due to the sudden pain.

“Not too close to breaking your spine am I?” Kane asked, rocking back and forth a little bit.

“N-no- OW!” Avery exclaimed.

Kane let go of the Boston Crab and lifted Avery up onto his shoulders. He stood up on the bed…

“Oh sh-” Was all Avery could say.

Kane jumped back, slamming Avery down onto the bed HARD. Nothing was broken still, but damn did it hurt…

“I-I’m just about ready to t-tap out…” Avery said, already tired.

“Aww...but we just got started! Humans are so wimpy!” Kane said, sitting on Avery’s chest again. “Beng lasts way longer!”

“I-I’m just human! I can’t take a lot of pain okay!” Avery said, trying to get up. “And get off me!”

“Make me~” Kane said, crossing his arms. “MAKE me get off!”

Avery tried to push him off, which obviously didn’t work. He tried again...and again...and again...until he was tired and just flopped back.

“Mhm. That’s what I thought.” Kane said, smugly. He felt his legs and stomach with his hands and groaned. “Now you got sweat all over me.”

“You...don’t sweat?” Avery asked, still tired.

“I’m a canine, I only sweat on my Paws, dingus.” Kane said. “I cool off like a Dog would.”

“O-oh...my bad…” Avery said, quietly.

“Hmph…” Kane said, uncrossing his arms and grabbing Avery’s wrists. “Just for that you get 10 more minutes!”

“WAIT WHAT-” Avery exclaimed.
