Scaredy Cat

kainissoable:

Janos had tried not to think of Raziel as his latest rescue case, he really had, but after a few months the impression was firmly cemented in his mind.

For the first few weeks the poor thing would start at shadows, and on those few occasions that he gave into sleep he always woke up screaming after barely an hour.

It wasn’t unusual to find him curled up on a chair with some of the other strays, nor for him to immediately cuddle up to Janos when he sat down to read.

Whatever else the saviour was, Raziel was his.
