the bedroom was dark expect for the soft glow at your desk
some people got cybernetics to commit crime or live out a fantasy
your boyfriend did both
he had been flesh and blood once
you had arguments but he made a point to be synthetic
he wanted to be a dog guy
anthromorphic upgrades weren't unheard of but he had went to extremes
he loved being the slutty sparkledog of his dreams
you didn't understand the idea yourself
but he had the money for it and you didn't ask questions
he was eccentric and you just dealt with it
you hadn't known him before most of the implants so it wasn't like it was a drastic change
he'd approached you at a bar and sure, you were into the furry thing
so a dog guy attracted your stare and he took notice
blue LED lights, steel, plastic and rubber covered every inch
as far as you knew his brain and a few organs were all that were left of the guy
he wanted to practically look like a canine blonde with a big ass and that had worked for you
you didn't even ask his name on the first night
just went to his place and fucked
that probably should have been a red flag to most
but you had decided the reward outweighed the risk
he'd added you to his contacts the morning after, leaving you alone at his place
you woke up and he was just gone
a message from "Lucas Lightningfang"
told you to enjoy the apartment and rest
you hadn't given out your information and he just had it
no idea how but you wouldn't dwell on it for the moment
you would ignore that last name too
or try to
you stared out and watched the city from what you remembered to be the 73rd floor
little could you guess that you'd be moving in here a year from then
flash forward to the present day and Lucas was sitting at his desk watching you as you stood in the doorway
you asked him how his day was and he remarked it was fine
you remarked that was good and sat on the bed and gave him a good look as he stared into the wall for some reason
he seemed troubled
