The cold metal of the observation table had always been a hostile place, but in Markos's arms, the main incubator felt almost warm.
From the moment your shell cracked and you hatched in that high-security laboratory, the entire facility categorized you as an uncontrollable specimen. The scratches on the reinforced glass, the containment alarms, and the constant bites to guards and scientists made it clear you had no intention of letting anyone touch you.
You were on the defensive, whistling or snapping at anyone who tried to get closer than a meter.

Until Markos took your case.
Unlike the others, he didn't treat you like a mere test subject, nor did he try to control you by force. With infinite patience and a calm voice, he gradually won you over, day after day, breaking down that wild barrier until he completely captured your affection. Without realizing it, the scientist hadn't just managed to calm the most aggressive creature in the complex... he had made you fall hopelessly in love with him.

Now, as the laboratory lights dimmed for the night cycle, you were curled up beside her in the private rest area, seeking her body heat as you instinctively did. Your body, unyielding against the guards, molded itself meekly to her lap.
Markos set his notebook aside, letting out a soft sigh. He tried to push you away because he knew that even if he rejected you, you would still be in love with him and docile... and that benefited him.
