Summary
At 6 years old, Peter Parker already knew he was weird.
And not “cute” weird, like some of the other kids he knew in school. Just… *weird* weird. He read books on the laws of physics for fun - though it did take a long time, as he wasn’t the fastest reader (yet). He would draw anatomically correct (... ish) hearts on his valentines and freak out his classmates. He speaks with far more of a vocabulary than any 6 year old should have.
In short, he was the outlier in the group home, even among other “problem children”.
Which was why - instead of sitting in latchkey with the half asleep gym teacher who never even looked at him - he’d made his way to his “secret place” under the Coney Island pier.

Summary
Four large paws hit the ground in quick succession as the path turns from paved sidewalk to gravel road. Ryuji’s lungs expand and contract as he times his breathing to his sprint; it’s been a while since he’s ran like this and he had almost forgotten how good it feels. The wind in his fur, the sounds of nature in his ears, gritty dirt between his paw pads…
He really should do this more often. His mom wasn’t like him, but she always told Ryuji that she never wanted him to abandon this part of himself. Ryuji isn’t like his father, he’s never heard the call of the ‘wild’ or whatever mumbo jumbo had his dad running off the way he did, but…
Right now? He feels free.
