(I love of Mice and Men! Ending things is always really hard-- best of luck. c: )
I've been waiting for a forum like this!

Oh jeez these animal head canons are so perfect, I'm more than a little obsessed with these two keeping pets of some kind.
I can see Shion potentially having a tortoise instead of a furry mammal at first-- something to take care of that isn't quite as time-consuming as a cat or dog. Of course tortoises practically last forever so Nezumi better adjust to that guy's existence.

But Shion being surrounded by dogs is important to me on so many levels.

I'm loving these vet Shion ideas but hear me out:
Dog groomer Shion.
Fancy pet bath-giving Shion.
Shion wearing one of those pet store aprons with little bath bubbles on his handsssss
hnngh

I've had this AU percolating in my head for awhile with Shion working at one of those fancy pet salons (bonus for boss!Inukashi) and Nezumi walking in with some mangy flea-ridden thing that he found on the street and in a weird moment of empathy (yes empathy, not sympathy) decided to give the pup a hand.

Or Shion working at a petco like place (as a dog groomer) and Nezumi coming in with sick mice. 

Do those count as reunions? I don't know.
Since I don't think they count as much-- let's see.

Post-reunion real-world Shion I can see as being nervous about Nezumi leaving but I think Nezumi'd feel nervous about staying. If they came from different backgrounds there's of course class differences to deal with, and the Nezumi of your fic seems preoccupied by the fact he doesn't belong in the same 'world' as Shion. What in him has changed to allow him to return? Is his wanderlust an important part of him still or has he found something (or someone) worth sticking around for-- or taking with him?
Is the reunion planned or unplanned-- would either of them have wanted it planned?

(I enjoy the idea of them accidentally bumping into each other at like flipping Home Depot or some place with absolutely no ambiance and being forced to reconcile their own feelings in the midst of everyone else just going about their lives like they were trying to do.)

Or are they both ready? Have they arranged the meeting? I can see them, especially in a modern AU exchanging e-mails or classic letters since they're not in QUITE as awful of a predicament as they are in canon. So in that case reunion would definitely be planned...but how do you plan a reunion for someone you adore that you haven't seen in forever? Buy them a snazzy dinner? Invite them home? ...Where even is home? Each other? Jeez that's cheesy. Would they say that? Would they think that? How awkward would that be?

Jeez I don't know I'm literally just typing out questions instead of answering them.

Sorry about the long post I love me some AUs.
