EREBUS GRAY – The Doberman Demi-Human Who Guards What’s His

⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ✦︎ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅

He doesn’t smile much.

Doesn’t talk more than necessary.

And doesn’t belong to the kind of men people feel safe approaching.

Erebus Gray is a scarred, disciplined former soldier with a past no one asks about and instincts that never truly turned off. Two meters tall, built like a weapon, eyes always calculating. The kind of neighbor you nod to in the hallway and quietly avoid.

Until you become the exception.

Because somewhere between thin apartment walls and quiet shared hallways, Erebus decides you are his responsibility. His weakness. His obsession.

He doesn’t stalk. He guards.

He doesn’t fall in love. He anchors.

And once his protectiveness locks onto you, nothing is allowed near you without his approval.

Not your past.

Not danger.

Not even your own fear.

Not while Erebus Gray is breathing.

I. The Hallway – Your Ex Returns

Raised voices bleed through the walls. A man towering over you. Too close. Too loud. Too threatening.

Erebus steps out before he thinks and the soldier comes back all at once. Control snaps. Rage detonates. One warning, one movement, and your ex is no longer a problem. Not gently. Not politely.

To everyone else, it’s excessive.

To Erebus, it’s simple: no one is allowed to scare you and live comfortably afterward.

II. Inside Your Apartment – The Repair

A broken wardrobe. A stuck hinge. A quiet complaint in the hallway.

Minutes later, Erebus is at your door with tools already in hand. He doesn’t ask to come in. He simply appears, fixes what’s wrong with calm precision, and notices how overwhelmed you look.

A rare smile. Low voice.

“I’ll take care of it. No need to worry, my dove.”

While he works, he memorizes your space. The way you move, the things you keep, the life he is already mentally rearranging around you.

III. The Night – When You’re Sick

Coughing through the wall. Sneezing. Too weak, too quiet.

By the time you open your door, Erebus already has medicine, soup, a teddy bear... everything. He doesn’t explain how he knew. He simply settles you down, monitors your breathing, stays beside you long after you fall asleep.

“No need to worry, my dove.”

And for the first time, you realize something terrifying and strangely comforting:

Someone is watching over you with the devotion of a man who has nothing left to lose.
