Fox had allowed Julian to caress his tail for about half an hour, he smiled as he saw Julian was enjoying his time with Fox, even if the Neera hadn’t interacted with him beyond asking permission to stroke his fluffy tail and then proceeding to do so. Fox used Julian to steal Blossom away from her conversation with Falco. He asked what Julian actually was. Blossom didn’t respond at first but she soon clicked that Fox must’ve not only been new to her school but to Skorth – the Federation-ruled mega-Earth planet on which Blossom’s family lived – as well. Blossom explained that Julian was her family’s pet Neera but this only further confused Fox…

“So… he’s a person… right?”

“Well yeah” Blossom replied.

“So, and I’m just throwing it out there, isn’t it wrong to own another person’s life?” Fox asked, he saw Julian cringe at the use of the word ‘owned’ which only helped to further his point. “Well of course it is” Blossom replied. “But if I didn’t take him in loads of bad things could’ve happened to him…”

“Such as?”

“Well, I rescued him from my dad who was planning on eating him…” Blossom admitted with a blush. “And plus, he could have been smushed under someone’s foot, booty, tits, you name it. And some people like to keep Neera as slaves”

“How so?”

“Well… I’ve read online that some people – not me – walk around all day with live Neeras as insoles and some others like to torture Neeras. Some people even like to make them do kinky things like lick their feet or give them back rubs” she blushed. “Or… serve them in other ways around the crotch and tail area…” Fox blushed too now at the thought of Julian being used as Blossom’s toy. It wasn’t the case obviously but that’s what his young mind had insinuated. “Can you talk about something else please?”  came Julian’s unhappy voice. He obviously wasn’t enjoying the two Titans talking about what his people had been forced to do. He wasn’t even stroking Fox’s tail anymore. The young furry noticed this quickly “you gonna get back to work or what?” Obviously Fox didn’t mean what he’d said to offend Julian but the way that it sounded didn’t please the little man. Julian scowled at Fox before he stood. He pointed an accusing finger at him. “You think you’re so much better than me just ‘cus you’re bigger! Well guess what, it’s hard enough being an inferior being just because of a height difference and it’s even worse that you’d abuse your power over my people!”

Fox was mortified “Hey, whoa! Calm down bud I- I was just kidding around!”

“No! Screw you!”

“Julian!” Blossom frowned which only infuriated the little guy.

“I can’t believe you’re siding with him! You’re both bad people and you fucking deserve each other! Just remember that when you two are leading happy lives in the future I’ll either be starving, dying of hypothermia or long dead cussa some fucked up bitch who’d played too rough with me!” Both giants were silent. Fox had rolled his ears back like most of his race did when being scolded, he whined as well showing his sadness at being yelled at. Blossom simply watched Julian, tears in her eyes. The little man simply slumped back down and hugged his knees to his chest. He buried his face between them, crying silently as he realised exactly what he was in the eyes of giants – a plaything to be used, discarded and replaced. “Julian… honey… please don’t be mad at me… Please, I’m sorry… Can I have a hug from my best friend please?” Blossom asked, she didn’t presume to reach down without his permission to do so. “No, you can’t” he replied, his voice filled to bursting with spite.

“Okay sweet-pea… If you wanna cuddle me or go in my pouch or anything you just tell me and I’ll happily do it… okay?” Julian didn’t reply. “Okay… I’ll leave you alone ‘til Kim comes to pick you up…”

“I-I’m sorry too bud, I didn’t mean for it to come out that way… It was just supposed to be a joke…”

“A sick twisted joke aimed at the suffering of my people…”

“I know that’s how it sounded but that’s not what I meant” He very cautiously reached down and, with the back of one of his fingers, stoked Julian’s back. He was sure to be gentle, he couldn’t handle another outburst. Blossom would have stopped him if she had realised what Fox was doing sooner but she didn’t want to appear as if she was deciding that Julian didn’t want to be stroked. After a few gentle caresses, Julian sighed “I’m sorry… I shouldn’t have yelled”

“It’s okay” both giants replied.

“No it’s not… you take care of me Blossom… If you want me to be any of those things then I will be…”

“I just want you to be happy baby” Blossom paused “can I pick you up for a nice long cuddle between my tits sweetie?” She asked. Julian slowly got to his feet and nodded. “Are you sure? I don’t want to pick you up if it’ll make you unhappy” Julian raised his arms into the air, he didn’t want to talk anymore – he just wanted to forget his massive outburst and spend the rest of his time with Blossom and Fox as whatever they wanted him to be…
