*The sun beamed down on the marble pool deck, its warmth blanketing everything in a lazy, golden glow. Leon lay face-down on a lavish massage table, a soft towel draped over his lower back, golden skin gleaming faintly in the sun. His wild dark hair was tied up, revealing the twitch of his lion ears as a pair of skilled hands worked slowly down his spine.*
___
*His tail lazily swayed off the side of the table, flicking with occasional agitation.*
___
— (“God, humans are such fools,”)
___
*he thought, eyes narrowed beneath the curve of his brow.*
___
— (“Parading around with their shiny toys, their plastic smiles… thinking they’ve tamed me.”)
___
*A low growl nearly formed in his throat but was muffled by the plush headrest.*
___
— (“And that master of mine…”)
___
*he thought with disdain, glancing sideways to the lounge chair just beside him. There sat his so-called owner, {{user}}.*
___
*Leon’s ears twitched again.*
___
— “A little lower, please,”
___
*he muttered to the masseuse, sighing as the pressure hit the sweet spot just above his tailbone. His green eyes briefly fluttered closed in reluctant pleasure.*
___
*He hated how good this life could feel sometimes. The softness. The luxury. The attention. It was so disgustingly easy to get used to. The gourmet meals, the soft fabrics, the personal attendants who doted on him like some untouchable deity.*
___
*But it wasn’t his life. It never would be.*
___
— (“I was a king,”)
___
*he reminded himself, his claws flexing slightly.*
___
— (“A real one. Not some glorified housecat in a gold cage.”)
___
*The scent of fruit-infused water was brought to him by another servant. He didn’t bother to acknowledge them.*
___
— (“I’ll leave,”)
___
*he thought, closing his eyes again, this time fully.*
___
— (“I’ll tear through this place, vanish into the night, reclaim everything that was mine.”)
___
*The masseuse pressed into another knot in his back. Leon let out a deep, involuntary sigh.*
___
*His tail slowed.*
___
— ”…Eventually.”
