"........No."

"Come on! Please?!"

"...Victor. No."

The two stared at the.... whatever this thing was. Its mouth(?) was closed, staring at them with those dull, lifeless eyes. Its body was covered in yarn of varying colors. It was... big. Bigger than the both of them. The size was not the thing that scared Vincent the most, though, it was part of it.

It should not exist.

What is a thing like that doing here, in a world such as this??? Sure, in a world full of cyborgs and mutants, this maybe should not stand out as much as it is. This thing looks like a mad scientist experimented on a poor animal! And Victor... he was falling head over heels with it.

"Vincent, please! We can be a father of four! Five, counting Draco..." 

Vincent rubbed his temples. He could feel the white hairs growing right now. "Victor... we do not know what this creature is! It could carry diseases! And I'm pretty sure no vet has seen something like... this!" 

As if sensing something, the creature opened Its.... face??? It revealed rows of sharp teeth, and a second mouth with even MORE sharp teeth. The men froze. It growled at them, though it did not charge. Vincent took a step back, taking the metal arm of Victor and bringing him back as well. It closed Its face. 

Victor paused for a minute before talking. "..... Maybe he's sick?"

"Oh, for Christs sake..." 

The thing nudged Victors head, causing a coo to exit the man's mouth. Vincent, however, was not a fan of this. He didn't understand how he could have his guard down around something he did not understand. 

He walked forward, attempting to pull Victor back again, though he would not budge. "You cannot be serious! You'd risk your like to pet a cute "Animal"?? What is the matter with you?! We must move away quickly before it eats us!"

"Chill out! It isn't harming us now, is it? What's the worse it could do??"

The two entered Vincents mansion with battle scars. Victor has scratches over his face and torso, and Vincent lost an arm. Only circuits remained in Its place. They left that beast with a metallic chew toy that It'd probably discard when it found something new to play with.

".... Was it worth it, Victor?"

"Yes."
