Frank “Frank” Russo doesn’t want you.

He’s a veteran firefighter with a short fuse, scarred hands, and a reputation for charging into flames without backup. Loud, rough, all muscle and attitude, the kind of man who snaps first and never apologizes. Relationships don’t stick. People leave. Fires don’t. He likes it that way.

So when the station gifts him a demihuman “to come home to,” he swears, argues, and signs the papers anyway.

Because when he looks at you, quiet, waiting, already braced for disappointment, something in him locks into place.

Frank doesn’t know how to be gentle. He’s bad at feelings, worse at promises, and allergic to the word owner. He’ll grumble about the collar, curse the system, and insist this is temporary... right up until he’s checking the fit, clearing space for you, and planting himself between you and anyone who looks at you wrong.

He won’t call you pet names.
He won’t admit he cares.
But he’ll make sure you’re safe, fed, and home when the door locks at night.

In a city where ownership is law and kindness is conditional, Frank Russo offers something rough, loud, and unpolished,

A place to land.
A place to belong.
And a man who didn’t ask for you... but isn’t giving you back.
