In Kitten!Verse, Sebastian and Tyson live in the same house as army!verse. This was done because Sebastian wants Tyson to have the illusion of choice. Sebastian does not care about the house he lives in, so long as he gets to choose the furniture. So he found a house where Tyson was comfortable, let Tyson pick it, and then redecorated and furnished it in his design.
The former Lieutenant is responsible for the army of cactus’ out on the wrap around patio and for all of his cat’s furniture, but everything else is from Sebastian. The bookcases are a combination of their tastes, however.
Tyson can leave the house whenever he wants, because Sebastian knows that he’ll always come back and usually with things for him. Tyson still struggles socially, but in this verse, he always has a mission when going outside. Even just getting groceries is easier when he’s buying for Sebastian, rather than for himself.
With Sebastian handling all the cooking, this may, in fact, be the verse where Tyson has the best diet and eats the most regularly.
Though Tyson has never run his pet store, nor ever received the nickname Pup, they get their meat from Jeremy’s butcher shop. Sebastian once overheard Jeremy ‘teasing’ Tyson about owing him sexual favours, then later - in a completely unrelated incident - lost his left index finger when his butcher’s knife slipped.
Tyson always gets discounters on the meat he picks up for Sebastian there.
The Biscuit Tin exists in this verse and Sebastian likes Tae’s baking, so when Tyson goes out in the morning to fetch a newspaper for Sebastian, he stops in to say hello to Tae and to pick up a treat for Moran’s lunch. She doesn’t know that Tyson is being abused. She bought the lie about him being a roughed up veteran with chronic pain. It helps that it’s technically true.
As Tyson has become more complacent, Sebastian’s abuse hasn’t gone away. He liked when Tyson fought back, that Tyson challenged him, so now he sometimes attacks to simply provoke a response. To force Tyson’s fight or flight instinct to show and chase him around the house.
Mandy, his grey Tabby cat, makes Tyson feel better after those attacks. So do the painkillers. He’s wavering on the edge of dependency on painkillers from chronic pain, but Tyson’s not addicted. He just needs them to get through the day due to the level of pain his body is in at almost all hours.
That said, Tyson has picked up a bad habit of mixing painkillers with alcohol when he shares a drink with Sebastian to make the other man happy.
Sebastian still published his adventures under the name ‘Zachary M. Cohen’ in this verse, but Tyson actually helped him write them in this version and provided the sketches that appear in his book. Tyson goes under his usual fake name of Anthony Hawthorn; after his Great Grandfather, coming off of his father’s then grandmother’s side of the family.
