Fate gives every horned a tailed mated. But what happens when a horned only has eyes for another horned? The moment Sen transitioned into a horned, he knew the life he wanted would never be his. Horned are supposed to be aggressive. They can't work in childcare, can't be seen as soft, and certainly can't date other horned. Which is fine. Sen has enough anger inside to be the most aggressive horned in school and fight anyone who gets in his way. But after months of breaking his life apart, he's finally ready to look toward the future. Too bad the mistakes he made refuse to be left in the past. Sen messed around with the wrong man, and the leader of the Taft gang refuses to let him walk away. Added to that is his old friend Aye Kojima. The guy Sen crushed on all through middle school and dreamed of one day marrying. But Fate didn't agree with that plan. Aye transitioned into a horned, too, destroying any hope Sen held that they'd one day be together. But when circumstances put Sen and Aye back into contact, Sen's life changes forever when Aye suggests a game. It's the one chance Sen has to be with Aye, but agreeing may well destroy them both. Play With Me is a standalone, full-length novel set in the Tails x Horns universe and features themes of friends-with-benefits, friends-to-lovers, masochism, and violence.
