"Subject 1001, please release your grip," Elpis grumbled as his body get pulled back into the tiger's chest.

It has been almost a week since when he first found Subject 1001. Although Elpis knows that the tiger poses next to no threat, he still reluctant to examine him, mostly because every time he opens the chamber's door, he would be tackled by the absolute colossal of a man and turns into an hour cuddling session.

Just like what they are doing right now

Elpis let out a tired sigh and pulled out his tablet. Since he would be stuck in his arms for approximately an hour then he might as well get some work done.

His fingers furiously typing away at the screen, noting down every information he has learned from examing the tiger. Fascinatingly, Subject 1001's cells are regenerating and replacing themselves at a very slow pace, barely picked up by his machines. His respiratory systems are barely functional either, his heart barely beating but his lungs somehow still work working.

The tiger suddenly started to purr and licked his neck, sending a shiver all across Elpis's body.

"Please, control your behavior, Subject 1001!" Elpis yelped as he wiped away the saliva with his arm.

Subject 1001 however, did not control his behavior. Instead, he shifted his lap slightly, making Elpis who was sitting on it shift as well. He only stopped when Elpis glanced up from his tablet in frustration.

The tiger beamed a toothy grin when he finally got his attention, "Elpis!" He said.

...

"D-Did you just said my name?" He stammered.

"Elpis..." The tiger repeated again.

Almost instantly, Elpis turned back to his tablet and jotted down this information. This means so much! It proves that Subject 1001 still has some neurological activities in his brain, being able to learn and differentiate between context is far greater than mindless zombies! Perhaps he could even make a cure out of him...

"Elpis..." The tiger whined yet again and repeated his movement, trying to get his attention.

"Fine..." Elpis groaned and placed his tablet on the ground. "I will give you the time, alright?"

Elpis pressed his body into the tiger's embrace and glanced up at him, looking the tiger right into his yellow eyes. They stayed together in silence for a good minute before Elpis finally sinks himself further into the tiger's torso, the pecs are soft as if it was a pillow, and his belly is perfectly aligned with his back, supporting his weight. All of this combines with the warmth exudes from the tiger and his lack of sleep, Elpis's eyes grew more and more tired as time passes, before he knew it, he was already consumed into a blissful slumber.

~~~

When he woke up, Elpis doesn't know how long has he been asleep. One hour? A day? He doesn't know either. The indoor light still shining as bright, the air conditioning still stays the same, and his tablet's still there.

One thing he knows for certain is that the body of Subject 1001 he's sleeping on is very comfortable. The tiger has laid down on the floor while Elpis was sleeping, his smaller body placed on top of the tiger and secured in place by his muscular arms.

The tiger was still deep in his sleep as Elpis slowly blink himself awake. His face turned to the side, his mouth open and a small puddle of drool was forming on the floor. Elpis look at the tiger as a small smile unknowingly creep its way into his mouth. The word for what he's feeling right now is outside of his lexicon, eluding his attempt to conjure it, was it endearing? No. Alluring? Isn't it either.

But whatever the word is, it's making him want to push the tiger's wet little nose. And he did, Elpis pushed the cute sniffer and the tiger abruptly sneezed, jolting him instantly awake.

Subject 1001 looks around the room in confusion before he finally spots Elpis laying on his chest.

"Elpis..." The tiger said adoringly and licked his nose in retaliation.

Elpis laughed as he wipes away the saliva left by the tiger, "Stop it." He said jokingly.

He squirmed in the tiger's arms, trying to get his face out of rage before being bombarded by the wet tongue, all to no avail. Subject 1001's strength was immense, and despite all his shifting, Elpis still couldn't budge an inch out of the man's grasp. It was slowly getting hotter as he moves in the tiger's arms, body to body grinding against each other was undoubtedly turning Elpis on.

"S-Subject 1001, let go of me." Elpis's face flushed red as he struggles to keep his semi-hard dick unnoticed from the tiger. However, the tiger did not release him, trying to keep Elpis close to his body.

"Enough!" He screamed and pushed the tiger away with all his might.

The tiger finally obliged and let him out, his face stunned as he's doing so.

Elpis hastily got up and adjust his lab coat, shuffling the fabric in order to hide his hard-on "P-Please practices self-control next time, Subject 1001," he stuttered.

And with that, Elpis hurriedly exit the containment chamber, locking it while the tiger gazes at him with a sad expression, as if he were pleading him to stays longer. But Elpis's will somehow manage to persist as he rushed out of the research quarter, to anywhere but here.

As Elpis wanders around the hallways, his mind still returns to Subject 1001.

The sensation he felt when they were sleeping together was... perplexing, to say the least. Unlike the giddiness and excitement he felt when he was with the professors, Subject 1001 introduced him to all kinds of foreign sensations. It made him hot, his heart rate increase, and made his stomach feel like Lepidoptera class insects were fluttering inside it.

This worries Elpis.

He has never been good at dealing with emotions before. Everythings can be analyzed and put into a neat folder on his tablet, easy and simple. But emotions? He can't categorize that. It always came in a sudden flaring burst, strong and confusing. Most of the time, Elpis can't even explain why he felt like that...

All of the sudden, Elpis's path was blocked by an all-too-familiar steel door, snapping him out of his train of thought almost instantly

He gently pressed his hand on the unwavering door, tracing along the cold metal to the screen on its side. The screen springs to life with his touch and displayed a keyboard. This door, from what Elpis can find about it, leads to the primary research facility.

What kinds of research conducted there? Elpis don't know. Despite his constant effort to get them to show him what behind it, they always shut him down, and they even go as far as banning him from this hallway completely!

Of course, that alone wasn't enough to stop his curiosity.

As swiftly as he could, Elpis quickly types professor Anderson's birthday down and pressed enter. It flashed red barely a second later.

"Danmit..." He sighed in defeat. Just as he's starting to turn back, the loud beeping sound of meal delivering echoes from his lab, signaling it's time for dinner.

When Elpis got back, the tiger was still standing in his chamber, glancing all he could outside before he spotted Elpis, a toothy smile appears as he catches the scientist's familiar figure. Then he mouthed Elpis's name behind the glass and pressed his black nose at the glass in a further attempt at calling him.

Elpis chuckled at the man and pressed the button on the robot, the annoying beeping sound immediately stopped.

He grabs the two plates of steak that barely fits on top of the robot's head as he makes his way to the containment chamber again. In the past week, they have developed a habit of eating with each other. Elpis doesn't particularly mind this either as it was getting quite lonely eating alone.

"Here," Elpis said as he slides one of the dishes toward the tiger. The tiger man immediately lunged toward the still-sliding plate and caught it midway. Clearly, he was hungry.

Elpis didn't even spare the man a second glance before directing his attention back at the piece of meat and start cutting it. A few moments later, Elpis finally satisfied when the meat has become nice little rectangular cubes. Just the right size for a pleasant eating experience.

However, the tiger's meal wasn't as enjoyable...

He was gnawing at the steak, struggling to bite even one small chunk off, and even when he managed to achieve it, a sizable portion keeps falling off the exposed sides of his cheeks. His muscles flexing as he combines the strength of his arms and body to rip the meat off again.

"Come on, put it down," Elpis ordered, waving his knife in an up-and-down motion, signaling to the tiger.

Subject 1001 shot him a look of curiosity and obliged, placing his steak back on the plate before resting his hands between his legs.

Bit by bit, Elpis starts to cut up the tiger's partly eaten steak in a similar manner to his. When ELpis finally finished, he brings his gaze back at Subject 1001 and said, "Open your mouth," while he was doing the same, ushing the tiger to follow.

With his left hand underneath the fork, Elpis brings the nicely cut steak closer to the tiger's mouth, and when it was fully inside, the tiger bites down, swallowing the slice whole without a single thing falls off. He continues to repeat until the plate was sparkling clean, not even a single crumb left.

"Well done!" He complimented and returned to his untouched food, it was already going cold by the time he finished feeding Subject 1001.

But suddenly, his fork holding hand was caught by two soft and warm paws. Subject 1001 quickly take the fork out of his hand before he could even react.

"Hey! What was that fo-" Elpis's words were cut short as the sight of steak suddenly appears in front of him. Subject 1001 was holding the fork with his left hand under it, exactly like what Elpis just did, baring a toothy grin as he does so.

"I'm not a baby, you don't need to do this!" He protested, dodging his head on all sides as the fork diligently follows.

Elpis's pride is strong but the tiger's persistence was stronger. And in the end, he finally gave up and let Subject 1001 feed him. A blush unknowingly forms on his face as they continue.

After finishing dinner, Elpis did some more filing inside the chamber whilst the tiger maintains a respectable distance from Elpis. By that, he means sitting next to the scientist, their shoulder touching instead of letting him sit inside the tiger's lap.

Elpis drowsily yawns as he checks the time, 10:30 PM, way passed his usual bedtime.

"I think I'm gonna heads out now... See you tomorrow..." He yawns again. But, as he was getting up from his seat, his hand were engulfed by the soft paws again, stopping Elpis dead in his track.

"S-Sorry..." The tiger murmured as Elpis looks at him, confused. What was he apologizing about? Was it what happened earlier today?

"N-No, you don't need to apologize about that..." Elpis replied, his face slowly turning red as he recalled what occurred when they woke up. "It was partly my fault for overreacting too."

The tiger blankly stared at him and Elpis realized he probably doesn't even understand half of what he just said, so he decided to shows the tiger another way that means he forgives him.

Elpis quickly planted a kiss on Subject 1001's fluffy forehead, though admittedly, it was more like a lip smash than a kiss. But it still leaves the tiger a gasped, his paws immediately reached to where Elpis lip was.

"S-See you soon!" Elpis exclaimed before hurriedly rushing out the chamber, leaving the undead tiger with his beating heart for the first time.
