I watched this video of a little dog bringing home a cat and now I can only think of dog hybrid Mirio that befriends cat hybrid Tamaki 🥺
Mirio is a home puppy, well-loved and cared for, but his owner is really busy, so he is often alone at home. And that's how+

one day he befriends this cat kid that was searching on their garbage.
Mirio didn't think that there was anything super tasty there, so he shared some of his food with the other hybrid. The first time, Tamaki grabbed a mouthful of food and ran away as fast as he could. But+

whenever he happened to come by, the dog hybrid didn't attack him. Instead, Mirio seemed happy to see him: he even pushed his dog plate all the way to the backyard so Tamaki could have food comfortably.
(Sir, Mirio's owner, found this behavior extremely odd, but it seemed harmless enough for him to let it pass.)
As time goes by, Tamaki starts to idle by. He thanks Mirio for sharing his food with him and stays around to chat. Mirio asks him why doesn't his family feed him... And then proceeds to learn not all hybrids have families: some of them aren't loved or cared for.
Mirio says he'll be his family, then, and proceeds to try and do his best to look after the other hybrid: he gives him some of his old clothes and always gives him a share of his food, even if it means he has to skip his own meals. Tamaki keeps saying he doesn't+
have to, but Mirio wants to hear none of that: he has to take care of him now!
It all comes to an end on a rainy morning, when Sir watches Mirio pace the room restlessly. He keeps throwing glances to the window and walking to the door, obviously worried.

Eventually, Sir resolves to get him a raincoat and let him go out, if only to see what Mirio is so upset about. He stands at the sidewalk and waits, checking the GPS on Mirio's collar to make sure he doesn't go far.
A couple of blocks later, and Mirio starts to make his way back. Sir sighs and walks back to the house, hanging his umbrella, wondering whether it'd be exaggerated to give Mirio a bath over this. He couldn't have been in the rain more than a couple hours-
He ends up needing that bath, because Mirio doesn't come back alone. He's all but dragging a smaller cat hybrid, that just happens to be dressed with some of those old clothes of Mirio the man had noticed were missing.
The boy must be around Mirio's age, but it's hard to tell with how skinny he is. His eyes find Sir on the doorway and he turns around to sprint away. Mirio has to block his way. Sir sees Mirio plead and pout until the other kid lets him grab his hand. Then+
Mirio marches him inside, with a firmness and determination that looks unbearably cute in someone so young.
"Sir, this is Tamaki," Mirio says, as soon as they reach the front porch, "he's my friend."
"Sir, this is Tamaki," Mirio says, as soon as they reach the front porch, "he's my friend."
The boy is shaking. Whether it's from the cold or from fear, Mirai doesn't know. He doesn't make eye contact, and Sir knows the most minimum attempt at contact would make the boy run.
"Take him upstairs," Mirai says, instead, "you'll both need a hot bath."
"Take him upstairs," Mirai says, instead, "you'll both need a hot bath."
In the end, Mirai keeps Tamaki. The cat hybrid gets a nice home, and Mirio doesn't have to be alone ever again.

someone could just /give/ stuff without asking for anything in return.

keep Mirio company.
The kind of "company" Mirio wants is not like anything Tamaki has experienced before. When Mirio says he wants to "play" he doesn't mean stuff that hurt, or that leaves his mouth tasting weird or wrong. The first time, Mirio brings all his toys out of+

their box and asked Tamaki to choose some, so he could have some of his own. The toys are just to bite, or to play with. Tamaki doesn't have to do anything with them- he doesn't have to do anything, really. Even when he has bad days, or even the few times Mirio and+
him quarrel, there is no threat to kick him out. Not only he is forgiven very easily when he apologizes, Mirio has asked /him/ for forgiveness at times, as if Tamaki didn't owe him everything.
The cat hybrid doesn't know what did he do to deserve this but, for as long as it lasts, he'll take it.
