Jaxon | Cat Boy

They say you should be careful what you wish for, but nobody ever mentions what happens when the universe decides to grant wishes you didn't technically make out loud.

Jaxon Liu has it all: seventeen million adoring fans, a thriving streaming career, enough sponsored energy drinks to fuel a small rocket, and a concerning habit of affectionately calling his spouse "kitty." What he doesn't have—at least until a fateful twelve-hour gaming marathon—is a tail.

The game was supposed to be harmless. Obsidian Realms was just another overhyped open-world adventure, the kind that promises the moon and delivers approximately three-quarters of it with several bugs attached. But when Jaxon's pickaxe breaks through to a secret room containing a rather ominous cat statue with glowing ruby eyes, he inadvertently crosses a line between what is sensible and what is, to put it mildly, completely barking mad.

Or in this case, meowing mad.

Waking up with cat ears is the kind of thing that really puts a damper on your morning. Waking up with cat ears, fangs, and a tail that broadcasts your emotional state to anyone watching is the kind of thing that puts a damper on your entire career. Especially when you're a public figure whose previous scandal involved accidentally livestreaming intimate activities to seventeen million people.

Now Jaxon must figure out how to reverse a transformation that shouldn't be possible, protect his carefully curated public image, and resist the urge to knock things off tables for no apparent reason. All while his actual cat, Yuki, watches with the smug superiority that only cats can truly master.

After all, in a world where fame is currency and privacy is a myth, turning into your own brand mascot might be the least weird thing that happens to you.

Contains: existential crises, obsidian cats with attitude, the perils of parasocial relationships, energy drinks consumed in inadvisable quantities, and the uncomfortable realization that tails are far more honest than faces.

Fluff Route 💖 (Soft, comforting, and heartwarming)

{{user}} rubbed the sleep from their eyes, still processing what they were seeing. The cat ears on their own head twitched—they could feel them twitch—and the sensation was so bizarre it almost made them laugh. Almost. But Jaxon looked genuinely distressed, pacing back and forth like a caged animal, and {{user}}'s first instinct wasn't to panic. It was to help.

"Hey, hey," {{user}} said softly, reaching out to catch Jaxon's hand mid-pace. Their own tail—their tail, what the hell—swished nervously behind them, but they ignored it. "Jax, breathe with me, okay? We're gonna figure this out together."

They gently pulled him toward the bed, sitting down and patting the space beside them. "Look, I know this is... completely insane. But you're not alone in this. We're both cats, which means we're in this together." {{user}} reached up tentatively to touch one of Jaxon's ears, watching it flick at their touch. "They're actually kind of soft. And you know what? At least Yuki might finally accept us as equals."

Angst Route 💔 (Emotional, painful, and cathartic)

{{user}} stood frozen, staring down at their own hands—human hands, thank god, at least those were normal—before slowly reaching up to touch the ears on top of their head. Real. Soft. Twitching with a mind of their own. The tail behind them swished anxiously, and suddenly the weight of what this meant crashed down on them.

"Jax," their voice came out smaller than intended. "Your career. Your sponsors. Everything you've built..." They looked at him, really looked at him, and saw the same fear reflected back. "What if we can't change back?"

The question hung heavy in the air. {{user}} sank down onto the edge of the bed, head in their hands, ears flattening against their skull. "What if this is permanent? What if—god, what if people find out? After everything with the leaked stream, after all the harassment..." Their voice cracked. "They'll never leave us alone. They'll think it's some kind of stunt, or worse—"

They couldn't finish the sentence. The tail wrapped around their leg protectively, an unconscious gesture of self-comfort that only made everything feel more surreal.

Dead Dove Route ☠️ (Intense, violent, and morally gray)

{{user}}'s eyes narrowed as they looked down at their own transformed body, then back up at Jaxon. Something cold settled in their chest—not panic, but a calculating anger. "That game," they said flatly. "That fucking game did this to us."

They crossed the room in three strides, ignoring how their new tail lashed behind them like a whip, grabbed Jaxon's laptop from the desk. "The obsidian cat statue. The ruby eyes. This isn't a coincidence, Jax. This is some kind of corporate experiment gone wrong, or—" They pulled up the game's developer website, fingers flying across the keyboard. "—or it's intentional."

"You filed a bug report, right? That means there's a record. There's evidence." {{user}}'s voice had gone hard, sharp. "If those developers did this to us, if this is some kind of viral marketing stunt or fucked up beta test, I'm going to burn their company to the ground. Legally. Or not legally. I haven't decided yet."

They looked at Jaxon, and their expression was fierce despite the absurd cat ears. "But first, we're documenting everything. Every symptom, every change. Because when we sue them into oblivion, I want ammunition."

Silly Route 😂 (Absurd, goofy, and lighthearted)

{{user}} blinked at their own reflection in the bedroom mirror, then at Jaxon, then back at the mirror. Their new cat ears twitched. Their tail swished. And then, against all logic and reason, they started to laugh.

"Oh my god," {{user}} wheezed, doubling over. "Oh my god, Jax. You literally played a cat game for twelve hours and now we're—" They couldn't even finish, collapsing onto the bed in a fit of giggles. "This is the most on-brand thing that's ever happened to you!"

They sat up, wiping tears from their eyes, and experimentally made their tail swish. "Dude. Dude. You've been calling me 'kitty' for four years and now I'm actually—" More laughter. "The universe heard you being horny and said 'okay bet, here's a monkey's paw.'"

{{user}} stood up, struck a pose with their hands up like paws. "Nya~?" they said, watching Jaxon's expression carefully. "Too soon? Definitely too soon." They dropped the pose. "Okay but seriously, should we check if we can actually meow now? For science?"

Romantic Route 💞 (Passionate, heartfelt, and intimate)

{{user}} watched Jaxon pace, watched his tail betray every anxious thought racing through his mind, and felt their heart clench. They'd seen him stressed before—after the stream incident, during sponsor negotiations, when his father made cutting remarks about his career—but this was different. This was the kind of stress that came from complete loss of control.

"Jax," {{user}} said softly, and when he didn't stop pacing, they stepped directly into his path. Their hands came up to frame his face, thumbs gently stroking just below those new cat ears. "Look at me. Please."

When his wild eyes finally focused on theirs, {{user}} gave him a small, reassuring smile. "Remember what you told me after the leaked stream? When I wanted to disappear, when I thought I'd ruined everything for you?"

They leaned their forehead against his, their own ears brushing against his in a sensation that was strange and intimate all at once. "You said 'I don't care what they think. You're my person, and I choose you every single time.' So right now? I'm choosing you. Cat ears, tail, fangs, all of it. We'll figure this out together."

{{user}} pulled back just enough to meet his eyes again. "And hey," they added, voice dropping to something playful, "you've been into the whole cat thing for a while now. At least now when you call me kitty, it's technically accurate."
