Glaceon x You

I had lost my drive.

Recently, I couldn’t find a genuine reason to crawl out of bed. Ever since the job vanished and my girlfriend decided I was no longer enough, my life felt like stagnant waste. My hands still held a residual heat, a lingering trace of the frustration I tried to alleviate with the photos I still kept of her, but the solitary pleasure was starting to lose its edge.

I needed a change.

Perhaps this was the ultimate sign to react and take the reins of my existence. It was a matter of survival.

Knock, knock.

The sound struck the wood of the door. I thought of the landlord; whoever it was, I’d have to beg for a month’s grace. After all, my world was crumbling, and I didn’t have much left to lose except the roof over my head.

Knock, knock.

“I’m coming, I’m coming,” I muttered as I forced the knob to open.

Standing before me wasn’t the building owner, but a beautiful woman. She wore a white cap and a sweater that matched her outfit perfectly, projecting an air of casual sophistication. However, what caught my attention was the Glaceon hiding shyly behind her legs. I blinked, trying to process the image. It was my neighbor.

It took me a couple of seconds to react, running a hand through my messy hair to try and regain some composure.

“Yes? Can I help you with something, neighbor?”

Today she looked more radiant than usual. I wondered if she had an important date, though it was none of my business.

“Good morning, neighbor. Sorry to bother you, but I need to leave my Glaceon with someone trustworthy for a few days,” she explained in a soft voice. “I have an urgent trip and I can’t take her with me. She’s very shy and quiet, I swear she won’t give you any trouble. I’d be infinitely grateful if you could look after her.”

I stood there in silence, processing the request.

“A Glaceon…?”

I looked down at the Pokémon, who remained sheltered in her trainer’s shadow. I had never been good at taking care of pets, much less Pokémon. In part, my solitude was a choice; I had lost trust in others, whether they were humans or creatures, during the blows of my adult life. But the smile on the woman in front of me was persuasive, and my masculine pride eventually gave in.

“All right… I’ll take care of her, don’t worry,” I replied, though internally I wondered how I’d pay for her food when I could barely afford my own.

I held the leash she handed me and prepared to say goodbye, but before I could close the door, she held it firmly. She opened her bag and extracted something with delicacy.

“Just in case, and to thank you in advance for your help, please accept this.”

She extended her hands and offered me a stack of bills. They were high-denomination notes, the kind that rarely passed through the hands of someone like me. The silence grew thick. It was an exorbitant amount.

“You don’t want it?” she asked, seeing my stupor.

“Wait… is this for me?” I stammered, pointing at myself. “You’re not mocking me, are you?”

“Didn’t you hear me? I’m giving it to you as compensation for your time. I know you’re a busy man who works from home, so I want to make up for any distraction she might cause you. Please, take it.”

“Well… it’s just that…”

“It’s five thousand dollars.”

At what point had my neighbor become a millionaire? I took the money and felt the spark return to my eyes immediately.

“I’m enormously grateful. It will be an honor to look after her while you’re away.”

She let out a sweet laugh, we exchanged a few more sentences, and finally, she left. Closing the door, I found the Glaceon settled on my armchair, sinking into the pillows. At least she didn’t seem aggressive. I pulled the wad of cash from my pocket and began to count. This covered all my debts, the back rent, and much more.

I dropped to the floor, overwhelmed, covering my face with my hands while letting out a long sigh of relief. My mind went blank; if this was a dream, I didn’t want to wake up.

Lick.

A wet, frigid contact ran across my cheek, right at the corner of my eye. The icy sensation jolted me like an electric shock, making me startle. Beside me, the shy Glaceon had approached noiselessly to lick the treacherous tear that had escaped me.

I swallowed hard, quickly stowing the money as I sat up in front of her to observe her. My breathing was still erratic. I was in charge of a creature whose nature I didn’t know, and if I didn’t do this right, I could lose the small fortune I had just received.

“First things first is keeping you satisfied,” I whispered to myself.

I headed to the kitchen at a quick pace, checking the meager supplies left in my fridge. I felt her gaze fixed on me, following me with a silent curiosity. Finally, I prepared a dish with the best I had and placed it on the floor for her.

I stayed there watching her closely, lightly shaking the plate to get her attention. That should be enough, right? At least, feeding her was the logical priority.

I also set a bowl of fresh water near her, but she didn’t make the slightest move to take a bite. The silence in the living room became heavy, and worry began to nest in my chest. I assumed it was normal; I wouldn’t accept food from a stranger in an unknown place either.

I sighed, painfully aware that I had just exhausted the last of my meager supplies. Right then, my stomach let out an untimely growl that shattered the silence. The Glaceon tilted her head, watching me with those tender, deep eyes of hers, as if she could actually fathom my misery.

“Don’t worry about me,” I said with a forced smile, feeling the comforting weight of the wad of bills in my pocket. “I’m going to go buy more food. You just rest here.”

Before heading out, I shut the windows and secured every possible escape route. I couldn’t afford to let my golden ticket vanish because of a moment’s carelessness.

Noticing my movements, she stood behind me, searching my face with a look heavy with confusion. I shivered slightly under her scrutiny, but I kept the smile fixed. I couldn’t take any risks.

“Please, stay here. I won’t be long; the market is close.”

I stepped out cautiously, double-locking the door behind me. For the first time in a long while, I felt like I had something worth protecting behind those walls.

***

Luck wasn’t on my side.

The nearest market had already closed its doors, forcing me to trek to an establishment in another district, which took far longer than I’d anticipated. By the time I started back, night had already claimed the sky.

Anxiety gnawed at me. Was she hungry? Had she torn up the sofa out of stress? I ran as fast as I could, fumbling for my keys with fingers made clumsy by the rush. Upon entering, I called out her name, nearly breathless.

“Glaceon!”

The cold air of the interior greeted me with a deathly silence. I scanned the living room, searching for any sign of life, until a faint metallic clink drew my eyes downward. The plate I’d left on the floor was gleaming, licked completely clean. A small, bluish tongue retracted quickly before the creature ducked behind the sofa.

I closed the door carefully and approached. She had remnants of food on her muzzle and a look that, finally, seemed less fearful. I felt the tension drain from my shoulders. I sat on the floor in front of her, giving her a genuine look.

“Well, looks like you enjoyed my cooking, huh?”

She remained motionless, watching me. I gave her a thumbs-up.

“Was it good?”

The Glaceon let out a faint, almost musical cry.

“Glaaa…”

I smiled while checking the grocery bags. My stomach protested again, reminding me that I also needed sustenance. I got up immediately and set to work in the kitchen. Before long, the aroma of a fresh stew filled the apartment. I set two plates on the dining table and pulled over a chair that usually stayed tucked away in a corner.

That was the chair where my girlfriend used to sit.

I settled into my spot while staring at the second steaming plate. The Glaceon watched the scene in silence, a mix of curiosity and caution. I gestured toward the seat across from me with a kind motion.

“Go ahead, it’s for you. It’s the same thing you ate before, I promise.”

After sniffing the air for a few seconds, she approached with elegant movements and settled onto the chair. She began to eat with a greed that surprised me; I had added a specific Pokémon spice I’d found at the market. Seeing her enjoy something I had prepared so much sparked a strange warmth in my chest.

“Glaaa!” she exclaimed when she finished, wagging her tail with enthusiasm. She propped her paws on the edge of the plate and gave me a playful bark. “Gla!”

“Maybe…” I muttered, leaning my cheek against my hand as I watched her. “Pokémon aren’t so bad after all.”

The night passed in an unusual peace. I settled onto the sofa to watch some TV and signaled her in case she wanted to climb up beside me. She, however, seemed restless with a different need. I had to improvise a proper corner for her to relieve herself, and fortunately, it worked.

I tried to concentrate on the movie, but the sound of incessant licking began to distract me. When I turned, I saw her. The Glaceon, having finished her business, was sitting with a hind leg raised, grooming herself with total lack of self-consciousness. My eyes were inevitably drawn to her exposed vulva, a dark blue tone that contrasted with the deeper fur of her legs.

I froze, not making the slightest move. She looked up and our eyes met for a second that felt eternal. I quickly diverted my attention back to the screen, though my mind was no longer on the movie’s plot. I tried to brush it off; after all, it was just animal behavior. But a part of me couldn’t help but draw impossible parallels: what if her owner were here in her place?

It wasn’t that I hated Pokémon; I just never knew how to deal with them. My childhood fears, fueled by my mother’s scolding, had led me to isolate myself from these creatures and, by extension, from almost everyone.

I let out a long sigh, feeling her presence beside me.

“Glaaa?” she asked, as if she could read the chaos of my thoughts.

When I finally opened my eyes, the weight of an unexpected warmth rested on my legs. I blinked, trying to focus my vision in the dim light of the living room. The Glaceon had settled onto the sofa, tucking her small head into my lap. A sudden flush burned my cheeks. With a hesitant movement, I placed my hand on her.

“Glaaa…” she murmured, rubbing her forehead against my palm in a gesture of absolute surrender.

I began to stroke her slowly, closing my eyes to let myself be enveloped by the soft purr vibrating against my skin. Although her fur retained that icy touch that numbed my muscles, the contact wasn’t unpleasant; on the contrary, it was strangely comforting.

She continued to seek me out, pressing her body against mine until we ended up lying on the sofa. I watched her as she positioned herself over my chest, our eyes locking.

At what exact moment had I started to fear them? I couldn’t remember, but in that instant, I buried my face in her softness, ignoring the cold that threatened to give me a chill. It was worth it. I didn’t want this creature to hate me, even if the rest of the Pokémon world still felt like hostile territory.

We spent the night like that. Eventually, I took her to my bedroom. She stayed on the floor, on an improvised bed I made from some of my old clothes, while I collapsed onto the mattress. I tucked the money under my pillow and closed my eyes, convinced that, at last, I was safe.

***

I was wrong.

Everything went sideways at dawn.

As soon as I woke up, I noticed the nest of clothes was empty. A sound of urgency put me on alert: frantic scratching against the wood of the door. I opened it quickly, and she bolted toward her litter box. I watched her relieve herself and took the opportunity to use the bathroom, but when I came out, her restlessness had evolved into something much more disturbing.

She was walking erratically, casting sideways glances at me before nervously looking away. She began rubbing her backside against everything in her path: the table legs, the edge of the bed, and her own shelter of clothes. I decided to ignore it at first, attributing it to some strange morning quirk, but the alarm bells went off when I saw her rubbing herself insistently against my own pillow.

I jerked it away, and my heart skipped a beat when I noticed damp, viscous stains on the fabric. When I grabbed her by the flanks to move her, my fingers were caught against the firmness of her glutes. She let out a sharp yelp but didn’t flee; instead, she lifted her tail with an electric movement, letting my touch sink into her flesh.

I swallowed hard, turning her to face her, and then I saw it. Her vulva, now a throbbing crimson, was oozing a transparent fluid that dampened her inner fur. Seized by panic, I took a photo and searched desperately online. “Please, let it not be a disease,” I prayed internally. My food couldn’t have hurt her… right?

The food.

I froze. The spice packet. I looked up the brand on a specialized website, and my heart sank to my feet as I read the description:

“Aphrodisiac for Pokémon haute cuisine. Stimulates and accelerates the heat cycle in Ice and Water-type females. Use with extreme caution.”

I slammed the tab shut, overwhelmed by a catalog of toys and substances I never imagined existed. Under my gaze, the Glaceon seemed transformed: her eyes were dilated, her face flushed, and her expression wavered between a desperate shyness and a primitive urgency. Her tail wouldn’t stop pulsing. Everything clicked. She was in heat.

I covered my face with my hands. I could feel my money slipping down the drain. If the owner returned and found her pet in this state, I was dead.

“Glaaa…” she moaned, demanding my attention.

“One second, I need to think,” I muttered, even though I knew she didn’t understand me.

I looked for ways to calm her down. The forums suggested a vet, but that would mean spending the rent savings. The other option was… natural.

“Glaaaa~”

I forced myself to look at her. The Glaceon had dropped onto all fours in front of me, arching her back to exhibit her rear. Her vulval lips opened and closed rhythmically in my direction as she stuck out her tongue, panting. She was ready. She was screaming to be mounted.

A nervous smile, almost a tic, formed on my face. I backed toward the bedroom door, jerking it open to step out and lock her inside. I heard her claws raking the wood from the other side.

“This can’t be happening,” I whispered, pacing in circles in the hallway. “Where do I get a male now? I can’t bring a wild one into the house; God knows what disaster he’d cause. And I’m not getting involved in anything clandestine…”

But if I didn’t help her and the owner saw her like this, my financial future was over. I had to do something. I could…

I opened the door, and the Glaceon pounced on me with an electric urgency; I managed to catch her in mid-air before she knocked me down. I led her to the living room while she wagged her tail with unsettling enthusiasm. I set her down on one of the dining chairs and ran to the kitchen, my heart hammering in my ears. In less time than it took for her to let out her first moan of frustration, I served her a plate of food.

“Satisfaction can be quieted in various ways, right?” I told myself, trying to convince myself that my plan would work. I did my best to look calm. However, she didn’t even look at the contents, the same delicacy as yesterday, but this time free of spices. With a sharp swipe of her paw, she flipped the bowl, scattering the food across the floor.

“Hey!”

“Glaaaaceon!” she shot back at me with an aggressive tone, a growl vibrating with a deep, demanding complaint.

I swallowed hard and backed away, distancing myself from the table. She leaped to the floor with predatory elegance, keeping her eyes fixed on mine. I sought refuge on the living room sofa, but she followed me step by step. I felt hunted, a prey in my own home. I retreated until there was no space left, but then, showing off a supernatural stealth, she vanished from my sight for a second.

I looked around, searching for her desperately, until I felt a firm shove against my chest that sent me falling backward onto the cushions. Suddenly she was on top of me, surrounding me with her legs. She looked directly into my eyes while licking her muzzle, letting out a hot sigh that contrasted with the freezing air of the room. I felt her vulva, feverish and wet, rubbing insistently against the fabric of my pants.

“This is my fault… I’m sorry,” I whispered, unable to look away.

“Glaaa…”

What was I supposed to do? If anyone found out about this, my social and professional life would end on the spot. But if I did nothing, her behavior would betray the disaster to her owner anyway. I was damned. The Glaceon licked my cheek with devotion until she reached my lips, giving me a wet, slow kiss. I felt her icy tongue invade me, and by pure instinct, my hands went down to her glutes, squeezing them to pull them apart.

I couldn’t believe it. I had never been with anyone who wasn’t human. Fear and arousal fought inside me, but the creature gave me no time to philosophize. Using one of her hind legs with astonishing dexterity, she hooked the elastic of my pants and pulled them down, leaving my erection exposed to rub directly against her warm center.

Despite her cold fur, her sex emanated a scorching heat. She began to descend little by little, brushing her opening against my glans. Her tongue never stopped roaming my face; she was desperate, consumed by instinct. She moved with a burning cadence over my member, descending millimeter by millimeter as the pleasure began to cloud my judgment.

I felt my pulse quicken. I needed to calm down, but the sensation was too intense. My cock finally hardened completely, and she let out a long, vibrating moan before hiding her head in my neck. She looked at me with pleading eyes, like a lost puppy, while her buttocks grew hot under my touch. My member began to slide slowly inside her vulva.

I closed my eyes, unable to contain the spasm of pleasure that ran down my spine. I gripped her glutes tightly, forcing her to sit with more weight on me. She moaned, squeezing her eyes shut. I convinced myself that this was a necessary sacrifice: I would give her what she wanted so she would regain her sanity. But deep down, I knew I was enjoying it like never before.

A Pokémon. I was fucking a Pokémon.

“Glaa…”

She increased the rhythm, rubbing against me with total surrender. When I opened my eyes, I met her face. She had a seductive expression, her tongue peeking out, pinker than I remembered. I flushed violently; it was an image both sinful and beautiful at once. Had heat always been this aesthetic?

At the sight of her face lost in pleasure, my cock finally plunged in all the way, filling her completely. The heat of her interior enveloped me like a silk glove.

“Aaaah…” I moaned as well, finally surrendering to the experience.

My hands sank hard into her glutes, seeking an anchor or perhaps one last trace of resistance. I tried to pull her away slightly, to establish a distance my mind still craved, but the effort was useless. My cock, already fully lubricated by her fluids, slid toward the depths of her interior without encountering any obstacle. The sensation of being devoured by that frigid heat was overwhelming.

She began to move with a more aggressive cadence, arching her back in such a way that her chest was exposed before my eyes. Amidst the immaculate light-blue fur, her nipples, a deep and dark blue, stood out, hardened by arousal. They were small but firm, dictating the rhythm of her heavy breathing. I didn’t know if I should look away or lose myself in them while she used me as she pleased. “I just have to appease her,” I kept telling myself, even as my fingers buried themselves deeper into her flesh.

Her hip movements possessed an astonishing rhythmic precision. There was an instinctive talent in the way she sought the exact friction. Was this really her first heat? I found it hard to believe. Every turn, every bit of pressure against my pelvis, felt like a refined technique to extract every last drop of my resistance. Perhaps it was just my senses distorted by adrenaline, but my heart beat with a violence that threatened to jump out of my chest.

“Glaaa…” a broken moan escaped her muzzle.

A thread of crystalline saliva fell from her lips, getting lost between us, while I felt the walls of her vulva contracting spasmodically around my cock, sucking it with animal voracity. With one of her hind legs, she impatiently pushed what was left of my pants further down; she wanted total contact, the raw friction of my skin against her fur and her wet sex.

The flush burned my face. I tried to maintain my composure, but it was impossible when I felt her eager tongue tracing the line of my neck, leaving a trail of cold that made me vibrate. Beneath the skin, my cock began to throb forcefully inside her, responding to the pressure of her cavity, which seemed to pulse in unison with my own heartbeat. I was trapped, buried in her, and the need to thrust back was starting to win the battle against my morality.

The Glaceon’s tongue roamed my neck with a frigid voracity, leaving a trail of cold saliva that sent electric shocks racing down my spine. I tried to push her away, but the effort died in a stifled moan. The hot air escaping my lungs clashed against her muzzle, and she seemed to find a perverse pleasure in that contrast of temperatures.

The tender creature from yesterday had vanished. Now, positioned over me, the Glaceon executed downward thrusts that grew increasingly violent. Her gaze, clouded by lust, and her icy appearance made her look dangerously beautiful. My hands began to shake, numbed by the cold emanating from her body, but she, in a calculated move, adjusted herself so my fingers rested mere millimeters from her sex.

She was looking for friction. She wanted my hands to join in this feast of fluids. Her vulval lips, an electric blue and swollen thick from the heat cycle, rubbed against my fingertips with an obscene urgency. I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering in my temples, while she gave me that pleading puppy look that finally demolished my will.

“God damn it…” I whispered, surrendering completely.

I pulled her against my chest with one arm, feeling the frantic thrum of her heart against my ribs, while my other hand began to massage her vulva, sinking into her wetness. I started to thrust hard, finding a raw, necessary rhythm.

Entering her was a sensory experience impossible to describe. It was like plunging my cock into an igloo made of flesh, a frozen void that burned nonetheless. With every stroke, my member came out drenched in a thick mixture of her translucent fluids and my own pre-cum, creating a glistening lubricant that dripped onto the sofa.

The anatomy of her interior surprised me with every inch gained. The walls of her cavity weren’t smooth; instead, they possessed a rough, tight texture that sucked my glans with a hydraulic force. With every deep lunge, Glaceon arched her back in a reflex action, tensing the muscles in her hind legs and wagging her tail with such intensity that the air around us seemed to chill even further.

It was a wild, erotic vision. Her fur bristled with every jolt of pleasure, and the sound of our flesh colliding, a wet, rhythmic splashing ,filled the room. My cock throbbed inside her, getting lost in that tunnel of frigid silk that seemed to devour me, while she, lost in the climax of her heat, rubbed her muzzle against my shoulder, letting out high-pitched moans that urged me not to stop until I emptied myself completely.

My fingers, driven by a curiosity that defied my own logic, sank deeper into the nest of wet fur surrounding her sex. There was something hypnotic about the texture of her skin, a gélid softness that contrasted with the volcanic fury emanating from within. Though silence enveloped me, my mind was racing; watching her body’s reaction to my touch was like discovering a forbidden world I had always been denied.

I focused on her clitoris, that small, hypersensitive button of flesh throbbing under the bluish hood of her vulva. I began to rub it with the pad of my thumb, applying firm, rhythmic pressure. The reaction was immediate. The Glaceon’s body tightened like a violin string, and a sharp moan, almost like a hiss of steam, escaped her parted muzzle.

“Glaaa… g-glaaa!” she whispered, arching her back as her front paws sank into my shoulders.

As I masturbated her, my thrusts became heavier, more deliberate. My cock entered and exited with an obscene splash, dragging threads of dense lubrication that began to soak my thighs.

In the midst of the trance, a piercing memory hit me: the image of my mother throwing a small, sad-eyed creature out of the house.

It was an Eevee.

I remembered that dark mole, shaped almost like a teardrop, marking its fur near the thigh. My eyes instinctively fixed on the rear of the creature currently riding me, searching for a mark, a link to that past that had turned me into a recluse.

I grew pensive, my breath becoming a constant stream of vapor. The pain of childhood rejection mixed with the lust of the present, creating a bitter, addictive cocktail. Sensing my momentary abstraction, she responded by rubbing with renewed strength, forcing my hips upward so my cock sank to the absolute limit of her cavity.

“Fuck…” I let out a hoarse groan, my first sound of true surrender.

I picked up the pace. My hands left her glutes to grip her sides, feeling the vibration of her ribcage. The friction turned violent, a constant clash of skin against fur. My cock slammed in, hitting the back of her womb, and as it pulled out, the sound of suction was so clear it felt as if her vulva were trying to tear the flesh right off me.

“Do you want more? Is this what you were looking for?” I growled into her ear, my voice thick with a new aggression, born from the decision to claim this moment for myself.

My thrusts became a barrage. Push, suction, friction. The heat of my member crashing against the rugose walls of her interior created a sensation of both emptiness and fullness that was driving me mad. Her blue nipples brushed my chest with every jolt, and the scent of cold and desire flooded my senses.

The Glaceon was lost, her eyes rolling back and her tongue lolling out, taking every lunge with a spasm of pleasure that made her vibrate from her ears to the tip of her tail.

I gripped her tighter, my fingers sinking into her fur, determined not to leave a single corner of her anatomy unexplored. The pace was frantic, a wild gallop on the sofa that made the wooden frame creak under our combined weight, while pre-cum and her own flow mixed into a whitish foam that sealed our union with every dry thud of my balls against her entrance.

Then, with a sharp and visceral yank, I pulled out. I heard the wet pop of the suction breaking as the void of her cavity tried to retain the flesh filling it. The air in the room, chilled by her very presence, struck my soaked cock, sending a shiver through me that made every hair on my body stand on end. I was sweating buckets, the vapor of my breath mingling with hers in an erratic dance over the sofa. With a rough movement, I forced her to turn, pinning her flat on her back against the messy cushions.

She cringed, a reflex of animal shyness that disarmed me for a second. She covered her face with her front paws, trying to hide a blush that tinted her cheeks a deep pink, her bright eyes barely peeking through her light-blue fur. She looked like a frightened puppy, but the frantic thrumming of her chest and the musky scent emanating from her crotch told a very different story. My gaze, however, remained fixed, cold and analytical; I didn’t want to scare her, but curiosity was burning me up inside.

“Stay still,” I whispered, my voice unrecognizable even to me, heavy with a dark possessiveness.

I buried my hands in her glutes, spreading the cheeks of thick fur to leave her sex fully exposed to the dim light of the living room. The sight was hypnotic. Her vulva, a deep blue hue and glistening from her heat, throbbed in time with her heart, oozing threads of a translucent fluid that dripped onto the sofa fabric.

I leaned in, lowering my face until the heat of my breath hit that frozen, swollen flesh. The scent struck me like a drug: a cocktail of fresh snowfall, wild pheromones, and the metallic trace of my own pre-cum.

I bit my lower lip, tasting the iron of my own blood, and finally plunged my tongue in.

“GLAAAA!” The Glaceon’s cry ripped through the silence as my tongue traced her slit from end to end for the first time.

I began to lick her with a torturous slowness, savoring every fold, every ridge of her Pokémon anatomy. The taste was an explosion of contrasts, a cold that numbed my lips but ignited an uncontrollable fire in my gut. In that sensory trance, the image of the Glaceon from my past re-emerged with a painful clarity.

Could it be her?

Had she evolved so soon just to survive on the streets after my mother kicked her out? I had wanted to help her back then, I had wanted to save her from the world, and now, years later, I found myself devouring her with an almost religious desperation.

Responding to the stimulation, she shoved her backside hard against my face, burying my nose in her wetness. Her hind legs kicked at the air, searching for an invisible foothold while her claws dug into the cushions. I felt needed, devoured by her urgency.

Why did it feel so fucking good to have a living being depend on my flesh like this?

I wanted her to enjoy it; I wanted the pleasure to make her explode so that, for a moment, we could both forget who we were.

With a trembling hand, I spread one of her buttocks further, stretching the skin near her hot sphincter. My eyes feverishly scanned the area, searching for the teardrop-shaped mole, the mark that would confirm my search was over. But the fur there was immaculate, a perfect light blue without a single blemish. Disappointment pierced me like a stake of ice, a deep emptiness that threatened to snuff out my desire.

However, instead of stopping, the frustration transformed into an erotic fury. To drown out the thought of disillusionment, I buried my face fully into her vulva, ignoring the cold that already stung my skin. I licked with a savage force, my tongue moving like a rhythmic whip over her clitoris while my fingers dug hard into her thighs.

“Glaaa-aaah! Glaaaaa!” The Glaceon’s moans turned into sharp pleas, her entire body convulsing under my tongue while her dark nipples tightened to the limit.

I face-fucked her with a destructive voracity, sucking her juices, swallowing her essence while my cock throbbed violently against my own abdomen, demanding to be buried once more in that refuge of flesh and frost. It wasn’t her, it wasn’t the ghost of my childhood, but in the darkness of that room, her pleasure was the only real thing I had left, and I wasn’t going to let her go until we both disintegrated.

The taste of her heat flooded my senses, a thick mix of brine, cold, and that pheromonal sweetness that only a creature of her type could secrete. I kept licking with a renewed desperation, moving my tongue in deep, circular motions, sweeping every thread of translucent fluid into my mouth. I needed that comfort; I needed the taste of her body to nullify the void the missing mole had left in my chest.

While my lips grew numb from the temperature of her skin, I felt a painful throbbing in my crotch. My cock, tense and forgotten for a moment in the face of my tongue’s urgency, began to leak drops of pre-cum that stained the fabric of the sofa, a slick, warm reminder that my body no longer belonged to me, but was at the mercy of the beast panting beneath my face.

I stood up abruptly, stripping off my clothes with a clumsiness born of raw hunger. My shirt flew into some dark corner of the room and my pants fell like dead weight at my feet.

I was going to fuck this Pokémon.

It wasn’t a guess; it was an inevitable fact, a collision of two lonelinesses that could only communicate through friction and heat. My heart hammered so hard I could feel the vibration in my ears, rhythmic and heavy.

Seconds later, I had her against a pillow at the end of the sofa. I was completely naked, exposed before her not just physically, but with the full weight of my fears and traumas laid bare.

We stared at each other for a moment where time seemed to thicken like the fluid still dripping from her vulva. The silence of the house suddenly felt dangerous, a mute witness to my transgression. Driven by an instinct for preservation that was almost comical in the middle of such a scene, I reached for the remote and clicked on the television. The bluish glow of the screen flooded the room, casting long, distorted shadows over us, while the murmur of a late-night show served as an acoustic shield against the curious ears of the neighbors.

Her vulva was still there, an open wound of desire, throbbing with an urgency that knew no pauses or doubts. For an instant, I thought about stopping. Perhaps turning on the TV was a desperate attempt by my mind to reconnect with normalcy, with the logic of a world where men don’t lose themselves in the eyes of a Glaceon in heat. I had never fucked a Pokémon. Yes, she had mounted me before, used me like a toy to sate her first impulse, but taking the initiative, being the one to lead this dance of the flesh, felt like crossing a border from which there was no return.

“Glaaa?” she murmured, tilting her head with an almost human curiosity.

Her eyes, large and bright under the light of the TV, seemed to read me. Was she wondering if I’d had second thoughts? Or was she herself beginning to feel the weight of what we were doing?

I sat on the edge of the sofa, burying my face in my hands, trying to claw back a shred of the composure that had evaporated with the first lick. But she wasn’t about to let me go. I felt the electric contact of her hind leg stroking my cock, a soft brush that made my member jump again, pointing toward her chest.

She approached slowly, sliding over the sofa fabric with the elegance of a predator that had decided to be gentle. Her front paws circled my member, holding it with surprising delicacy, while she gave me a smile that, for a second, made me forget she wasn’t the Glaceon from my childhood. She seemed to be telling me to cheer up, that this moment was ours and no one else’s. I put my hand on her head, stroking the soft crest of her forehead, but the surprise stole my breath when she lowered her muzzle.

Her tongue, still slick with her own fluids and the trace of my previous arousal, began to lick my cock. It was a contact of polar cold that made me arch my back and dig my nails into the sofa. She began to suck it slowly, wrapping her wet lips around the glans and moving her head with a torturous deliberation. The sound of the suction mingled with the mindless dialogue from the TV, creating an atmosphere of unbearable filth.

I felt her small teeth accidentally graze the sensitive skin, a dangerous reminder of her savage nature that only served to make me harder. She sucked with rhythm, using her tongue to massage the shaft while her eyes remained fixed on mine, challenging me to lose myself. The heat of my blood fought against the cold of her mouth in a thermal battle that was driving me insane. Every movement of her throat, every spasm of her tongue, was an invitation to stop thinking and start feeling.

“Fuck… keep going…” I moaned, letting my head fall back as the pleasure began to cloud my vision.

The brush of her fur against my thighs, the scent of her heat growing more intense with every second, and the sensation of her mouth devouring me pushed me to the edge of the abyss. I didn’t care if she wasn’t the Glaceon with the mole. In the gloom of that room, under the glow of the television, she was the only truth.

I lost control of my hips and began to thrust rhythmically inside her mouth, feeling how her tongue, eager and expert, enveloped every inch of my flesh. It wasn’t an animal movement; it was a technical caress, a coordinated suction that made me vibrate to the marrow. The heat of my blood crashed against the polar cold of her oral cavity, creating a thermal friction that was driving me mad.

I flushed violently, feeling the pulse hammering in my temples. In a sudden burst of dominance, I reached out and seized her long, soft ears, pressing my palms firmly against the base of her head. I forced her down, making her sink deeper onto me, wanting that frigid mouth to devour my manhood entirely. I wanted her to reach the very root, for her lips, tense and strained by the thickness of my member, to suck with enough force to drain my balls dry.

“Like that… just like that, god damn it,” I growled, my voice cracking with lust.

Her saliva, thick and icy, coated my cock completely, lubricating the way for my glans to strike the back of her throat. The image was devastating: the corners of her mouth stretched to the limit, her eyes locked onto mine with a mixture of submission and hunger, and my member vanishing past her teeth. It was a portrait of depravity that I knew would be etched into my mind forever, a memory that would haunt me through every future night of solitude.

I didn’t stop. With my other hand, I pulled her closer, forcing her to kneel on the sofa in a position that left her at my mercy. While she continued the blowjob, I reached my fingers back, searching for the burning wetness of her crotch. I found her vulva and began to masturbate her with a frantic intensity, sinking into her translucent fluids. I started to moan louder, losing any trace of the shame that had defined me for years. I whispered into her ear between gasps how much I loved seeing her like this, how much it turned me on to see her body reacting to my touch.

That was when curiosity, that dangerous spark that had led me this far, pushed me one step further. One of my fingers, soaked in her own heat, began to brush against her anus. I paused for a second, my heart hammering against my ribs. Never, even in my darkest fantasies, would I have thought of touching a creature’s sphincter, but the sight of her need was so raw that every taboo disintegrated in the cold air. She looked so hot, so desperately in need of being claimed in every corner of her being, that my doubts died right there.

My cock throbbed violently inside her mouth and, as if sensing my change in intent, she sucked with a renewed strength, a vacuum so powerful it was almost painful, making me arch my back. I let out a guttural grunt and shoved a finger into her anus all at once.

“Mmmph!” The Glaceon let out a muffled moan against my cock, her entire body trembling violently under my touch.

I felt the initial resistance, the tight heat of her muscle reacting to the invasion. She tensed so much that I had to withdraw for an instant, but I didn’t stop. I scooped up more of the fluids overflowing from her vulva, using them as an improvised lubricant, and slid it back in slowly, exploring her forbidden depths. The effect was immediate and devastating. The Glaceon began to let out hot moans that vibrated directly against my cock, turning the blowjob into something supernatural. Her eyes rolled back, lost in a state of pleasure bordering on agony, and her lips began to drool, unable to contain the saliva mixing with my pre-cum.

I was in a state of ecstasy I never thought possible. I had hit a sensitive spot, a nerve in her anatomy that had transformed her from a pet in heat into a slave to sensation. She sucked with a new desperation, moving her head with a rhythmic fury while my fingers worked both her orifices in unison. The sound of the suction, the splashing of my fingers in her wetness, and her muffled moans created a cacophony that drowned out the noise of the television.

“I’m going to cum… fuck, I’m going to cum!” I exclaimed, feeling the pressure building at the base of my spine like a dam about to burst.

The realization of what was about to happen hit me with the force of a lightning bolt. I was going to cum in a Pokémon’s mouth. In my neighbor’s pet’s mouth. My seed would rest on her tongue, slide down her throat, and stain her teeth a pale blue under the television light. It was a filthy idea, a betrayal of every rule of decency, but in that moment, I wanted it more than anything in the world.

“Swallow it! I want you to drink it all!” I ordered her, my hands squeezing her ears with a force that made her stay glued to me.

I felt the final spasm. My muscles tightened to the point of pain. Shit, fuck, god damn it… there was no going back. The wave of heat surged up my urethra and, with a shout that lost itself in the living room ceiling, I began to blow my load. The first blast hit the back of her throat with brute force, followed by another and another. I felt her close her eyes and suck harder, accepting every jet of my virility with absolute devotion.

I was coming inside her, marking her interior with my essence, while she drooled and swallowed, making sure not a single drop went to waste. The pleasure was so intense my vision blurred, leaving me only with the sound of her gulping and the frantic beat of my heart in the void of the night. I was spent.

My semen struck the back of her throat, and she, far from pulling away, closed her eyes and sucked with a devotion bordering on madness. I felt every spurt of my ejaculation being received by her icy tongue, while she swallowed hard, her small throat moving under my touch with an arousing deliberation.

To push her to the absolute limit, I sank my fingers in with a necessary cruelty. While one finger lost itself in the tight, hot depth of her anus, the other worked her vulva with frantic speed, vanishing into the sea of translucent fluids she continued to secrete. The digital double penetration made her convulse; she let out a sharp moan that vibrated directly against my cock, a sound of pure sensory capitulation.

“Glaaa-aaah!” Her moans were now a constant plea, a melody of depravity that incited me to show no mercy.

With my free hand, I squeezed the base of her neck, preventing her from moving even a single millimeter away from my crotch. The semen, excessive and dense, began to overflow from the corners of her mouth, sliding down my skin until it soaked my balls and soiled the sofa fabric with white, viscous stains. It was a filthy, degrading image, but when I looked down, I met her eyes: there was no fear or confusion, only a pure love, a deep and animal gratitude. This Glaceon loved being used; she was fascinated by the feeling of being invaded and marked by the filth of my desire.

I came a little more, one last discharge that filled her mouth to the brim, and finally I pulled her away from me to catch my breath. My cock remained exposed, glistening and pulsing, dripping with the remains of our union. She stayed there for a second licking her lips, savoring the bitter trail of my essence, and before I could say a word, she lunged at my member again without me having to force her.

She clung to my cock with her paws, sucking it again with renewed greed, while letting out broken moans that I understood perfectly as a plea: she wanted my fingers back. She was begging me to desecrate both her orifices again in exchange for giving me the best blowjob of my life.

In a final burst, while she worked my glans with her expert tongue, I masturbated a bit more until the last of the semen shot out, staining her light-blue face and her ears. The white fluid contrasted violently with her gélid fur, irreversibly dirtying her face, but she didn’t even blink. With a gaze heavy with devoted lust, she simply continued sucking when I buried my member in her mouth once more, accepting the mixture of her own saliva and my seed with a satisfaction that left me empty and, finally, in an absolute and sinful peace.

I sank my fingers in with renewed determination, feeling how both her orifices claimed me with an electric urgency. The Glaceon, lost in the paroxysm of her heat, trapped my phalanges inside her with rhythmic pressure, a horniness that seemed to want to suck in not just my flesh, but my very will. Her tongue kept working my cock, licking and sucking with such devotion that it made me snort, releasing hot air that crashed against her frozen fur.

Suddenly, she pulled away from my crotch with a fluid movement. She positioned herself on all fours on the sofa, burying her muzzle in the messy pillow and arching her back with savage elegance. Her two holes were left exposed before me, throbbing and bathed in the translucent glow of her own juices and the remains of my seed. She gave me a guttural growl, a short and demanding bark that echoed in the silence of the room, urging me to claim her once and for all.

I moved closer, feeling my cock throb at the sight of her surrender. Almost by instinct, driven by a curiosity that no longer knew any restraint, I gave her a firm slap on her left buttock. The sound of the dry impact was followed by a sharp moan from her, a cry of pleasure that seemed to ignite the air. I swallowed hard, my heart hammering against my ribs, and before penetrating her, I leaned over her back and held her.

The Glaceon let out a murmur of confusion, feeling my arms encircle her torso, but I didn’t wait for her to process the gesture. I lined my glans up with her vulva and sank into her with a single thrust.

“Glaaa-aaah!” The creature’s cry of satisfaction filled the space as my cock slid without resistance into that gélid refuge that devoured me.

I began to move, a rhythmic and deep swaying, sliding my member in and out with a cadence that sought more than just simple physical relief. I held her even tighter, sinking my fingers into the fur on her sides. Yes, my body was freezing; the contact with her back was like hugging a block of pure snow, but the contrast with the heat emanating from her chest and neck was the most comforting sensation I had experienced in years.

I buried my face in the curve of her neck, breathing in her scent of winter and pheromones. As I fucked her, I began to gasp, letting the thoughts that terrified me so much, the loneliness, the firing, the emptiness of my apartment, dissolve in the friction of our skin. I didn’t know what would happen at dawn, or how I would look my neighbor in the eye, but if I could cling to her, even if only for tonight, I was going to make every thrust worth it. I wanted to protect her. I wanted, selfishly, for this moment to never end.

I felt that I loved her. It wasn’t just the carnal desire of a desperate man; it was a connection born of shared isolation. Without thinking, my movements began to tell her that this was her home, that with me she was safe.

“Glaaa… Gla-Glaceon!” she moaned, a sharp, broken sound that vibrated against my skin as my fingers sank into her fur.

The Glaceon met my tenderness with an explosion of savagery. Her tail rose, lashing violently through the air, and she began to thrust back against me with a force that made me grunt. She moved her rear and hips backward with surgical precision, ensuring my cock struck the very back of her womb with every collision. Every time my member impacted the depths, she let out a choked yip, a bark of pure ecstasy that spurred me to keep going.

Taking advantage of our position on all fours, I began to explore her body with a creativity born of adoration. While my hips dictated a frantic, wet rhythm, my hands did not stay still. I moved one of them up to her neck, massaging the base of her ears and gently squeezing the sensitive skin of her throat. The Glaceon reacted with spasms of pleasure, throwing her head back to seek the contact of my face while her front paws sank hard into the cushions.

“Glaaa-aaah! Glaaaaaaa!” Her moans grew deeper, almost hoarse, as her body trembled under the pressure of my hands and the drive of my sex.

With my other hand, I sought out her dark nipples beneath the fur of her belly, pinching them rhythmically in unison with my lunges. The sound in the room was a cacophony of wet splashes, the creaking of the sofa’s wood, and our intermingled breaths. My cock entered and exited, bathed in a whitish foam of mixed fluids, while she barked with pleasure, lost in a trance where only the two of us existed. I felt her internal walls contract around my cock with every pinch of her nipples, sending surges of pleasure that clouded my judgment.

“Glacee…! Gla-glaaa!” she shrieked again, arching her back until her spine pressed against my chest, seeking more contact, more heat, more of that invasion that made her feel alive.

And I… I could only say what I truly felt.

“You’re mine… just for today, please… be mine,” I whispered into her ear, softly biting the edge of her ear.

She responded by arching her back even more, allowing my penetration to go even deeper, more intimate. My fingers caressed the erogenous zones of her back, descending down her spine until they reached just above her tail, where the pressure made her shudder and emit those short shrieks that drove me crazy. The rhythm turned savage, a dance of friction and cold where my testicles thudded rhythmically against her entrance, marking the tempo of our total surrender.

We were fused into one. The cold of her body no longer frightened me; it had become the perfect frame for the fire burning between our legs. Every thrust was a claim, every caress a silent promise that, in the darkness of this room and under the glow of the television, she was not a pet and I was not a failure. We were simply two living beings giving each other heat in the middle of the harshest winter of our lives.

I tightened my arms around her chest with an almost painful urgency, feeling the runaway gallop of her heart against my palm, a frantic drumming that marked the end of our resistance. I was determined to leave my soul and my essence inside that body of ice which, ironically, had brought me back to life in the midst of my own desolation.

I tried to maintain a certain delicacy, aware of her apparent fragility, though I knew full well that in a real fight she could take me down in seconds. However, as soon as I made a move to soften the pace, the Glaceon let out a low growl, a vibration of discontent that climbed up through my chest, and she shoved her rear against my pelvis with a force that knocked the wind out of me. I got the message: she wanted more, she wanted everything.

“Glaaa! Glacee!” she barked, digging her claws into the cushions.

I gripped her sides, sinking my hands into her dense light-blue fur, and began to drill into her with raw power. I slammed my cock in and out with a piston-like motion, faster and faster, deeper and deeper. My member felt thicker than ever, swollen with blood and desire, expanding against her internal walls that squeezed me with rhythmic spasms. It was then that, at the very back of her canal, my glans detected an obstacle: a ring of firm, hot, and forbidden flesh. Her cervix.

I tried to penetrate it on the first thrust, but the resistance was remarkable. I felt a solid jolt that made me gasp. I tried again, throwing all my weight forward, but the ring held shut, protecting her inner sanctuary. The Glaceon let out a moan that was half pain and half plea, arching her neck in an almost surreal way.

“Fuck… let me in…” I growled through gritted teeth, sweat dripping from my chin onto her back.

I tried a third time, adjusting the angle of my hips, and then a fourth, lunging with a desperation that made the sofa’s frame creak. It was difficult, a struggle of flesh against flesh, until finally, after a violent and dry shove, I felt the ring give way. My cock slid through the opening with a wet pop, invading a space where the temperature rose drastically.

Inside was a furnace. A volcanic heat enveloped my glans, a sensation so intense it made me let out a hoarse shout of pure ecstasy. The Glaceon’s reaction was immediate and extreme: she tensed as if she had received an electric shock, her eyes rolled back, and she let out a long, sharp howl that surely woke up half the street. She moved with an initial spasm of fright, but immediately afterward she began to vibrate, consumed by a heat that burned her from the inside out.

“GLAAAA-AAAH! GLA-GLA-GLAACE!” she screamed, her legs flailing frantically while her interior sucked at me with a vacuum-like force.

That was the trigger. My vision turned white and I felt the pressure explode at the base of my spine. She reached her climax at that very same instant, her vaginal walls and her womb collapsing around my member in a series of violent contractions that forced me to empty myself.

“Shit, I’m cumming! I’m cumming with you!”

I ejaculated with devastating power, jet after jet of hot semen shooting directly into her depths, filling her to the brim. The sensation of releasing my entire load while she continued to convulse beneath my weight was too much for my senses. My legs gave out and I fell over her, crushing her softly against the pillow while my body kept pumping, coming even more in the final spasms of surrender.

We stayed there, fused together, the only sound in the room the noise of our broken breaths and the distant murmur of the television, while the heat of my seed mixed with the cold of her skin, sealing a night that neither of us could ever forget.

My hands were still trembling against her fur, feeling the residual heat of the ejaculation cooling little by little between us. We remained like that, joined by exhaustion, until she, with a soft but firm movement, decided it was time to separate; she needed to calm the fire inside her before returning to reality.

We lay back on the sofa, surrounded by a disaster of tossed cushions, scattered clothes, and stains that bore witness to our surrender.

I realized, with a mixture of daze and relief, that it was barely noon. We had spent hours lost in each other.

She looked at me with her large, bright eyes, approached with that gélid elegance, and licked my cheek before joining her lips to mine. The kiss was deep, possessive; it made me fall onto my back while she pushed herself onto my chest, shoving her tongue in and marking me with a mixture of fluids that only made me laugh with an honesty I thought I had lost.

“Tomorrow I’ll look for work,” I thought, hugging her tight. “Right now… you’re all that matters.”

That gélid succubus had me at her mercy all day, claiming every ounce of my energy.

***

A week had passed since I returned her.

I managed to stabilize her heat with a mixture of natural herbs and patience, and finally, I handed her back to her owner. But the memory was a glowing ember in my mind. I kept checking that photo on my phone we took after the sex: me, with messy hair and an expression of unknown peace, and her, lying beside me with her tongue out. Perhaps that encounter fixed something broken in me. Looking at the sun that morning, I felt that for the first time in years I could truly smile at my next interview.

Knock, knock.

“The rent,” I muttered, taking the envelope with the money the owner had paid me for watching her. I approached the door with a firm step. “I have the pay right here, sir, you’ll see I won’t be late again…”

But when I opened the door, the air stopped.

It wasn’t the landlord. It was her.

The Glaceon’s owner was there, but her elegant bearing and usual confidence had crumbled. She looked disheveled, with an anxiety that made her bite her lip and fidget with the straps of her designer bag. Behind her, on the stair landing, a light-blue figure waited in the shadows.

“I’m sorry to come like this…” she began, her voice barely a thread. “But I didn’t know who else to turn to. I moved in with my boyfriend a few days ago and he… well, he’s a complicated man. He doesn’t like Pokémon. He says they’re messy, that her cold bothers him.”

I stood like stone, gripping the doorknob so hard my knuckles turned white. My eyes drifted toward the stairs.

There was the Glaceon.

At the sight of me, her ears tucked back and a bluish blush, deep as arctic ice, stained her cheeks. It wasn’t the blush of a pet; it was that of someone who remembered every moan, every inch of skin we had shared on that sofa. She wagged her tail timidly, a subtle movement that made my heart take a violent leap.

“Wait… are you sure?” I asked, my voice breaking.

“Completely,” she replied, holding out the Pokéball with a trembling hand. “Since I brought her back from your house, she hasn’t stopped staring out the window toward this place. She doesn’t eat well, she spends the day scratching at the door, and every time she sees you from a distance in the street, she goes frantic with joy.”

She paused, looking both ways down the hallway before stepping closer to me. Her tone turned cold and pragmatic.

“Besides… I don’t want my image to be affected right now.”

At that precise moment, the echo of a megaphone flooded the street. A campaign truck was passing slowly in front of the building, displaying a giant poster with her smiling face and the slogan: “For a traditional and clean city.” She was running for mayor. The secret of her pet, her uncontrollable heat, and the way I had “cared” for her was a bomb that could destroy her political career before it even started.

“If you take charge of her permanently and keep the absolute secret… I’ll pay you five thousand dollars a month. As maintenance costs,” she added with a bitter smile.

The world seemed to spin slower. I went pale, my mind blank at the figure, but I nodded with a shyness that barely hid the explosion of adrenaline in my chest. She handed me a folder with veterinary specifications.

“Glaceon, come!” the woman ordered.

The creature didn’t wait a single second. With one leap, she cleared the steps and threw herself into my arms with a bark of pure, overflowing happiness. Her weight against my chest and her familiar cold made me close my eyes for an instant.

“Don’t worry about her health, she has all her vaccinations up to date,” the future mayor said, letting out a nervous giggle as she backed away toward the elevator. “I even had a dangerous mole removed from one of her glutes when she was little. You know, so she’d be perfect.”

Time froze. The mole.

I closed the door with a dry click, letting the silence of the foyer envelop us. I set the Glaceon down on the floor. She tilted her head, inquisitive, her bright eyes fixed on mine. With trembling hands, I knelt and searched through her light-blue fur, right near her hip. There, hidden beneath the softness of the blue coat, I found a faint whitish mark, an almost invisible, round scar.

It was her.

It was the little injured cub my mother had forced me to abandon years ago. She hadn’t evolved to survive being forgotten; she had survived to return to me.

“Arceus… you really do exist,” I whispered.

I started to laugh. It was a laugh that birthed in the deepest part of my gut, a discharge of years of loneliness and failure that transformed into a sob of absolute relief. I crushed her against my chest, burying my face in her cold neck, while tears soaked her fur. Understanding my emotion with that almost human intuition, she grew hot instantly. Her breathing became heavy and she began to lick my neck with a voracious hunger, marking me once again as her territory.

I knew exactly what she wanted. It wasn’t just heat; it was the desire to reclaim lost time.

I stood up, taking her in my arms while she coiled around my neck. We ran toward the bedroom with an urgency that allowed for no waiting. My clothes, the old shirt, the worn-out deadbeat pants, went flying down the hallway, discarded like the dead skin of a past that no longer belonged to me.

As I reached the threshold of the bedroom, I looked into her eyes. She smiled, an expression full of lust and a savage tenderness. The sound of the door closing was no longer the crash of a man locking himself in his misery to hide from the world. It was the final slam against loneliness.

It was the signal that, in the midst of the snow and the secret, I had finally obtained my long-awaited happy ending.
