A tuggoff moment for @storyweaverofgondor’s cats-pril event! Also on Ao3 here.
Tugger let out a dramatic grunt as he hoisted Misto’s arm over his shoulders, earning himself a well-deserved eye roll.
“This really isn’t necessary,” the aforementioned Mistoffelees grumbled, despite the fact that Tugger was definitely supporting most of his weight. The Ball was over, Old Deuteronomy was back, Grizabella was gone, and Tugger really needed his beauty sleep. But first, he had one magical Cat to attend to.
“Of course not,” Tugger replied silkily, “I’m just very needy and you already know this.”
“Your best-kept secret,” Misto said, shooting Tugger a small smile that made his heart sing.
“Indeedlington. How are the paws?”
“They’ve been better.”
Misto shook his paws and let out a tiny wince. Tugger felt a stab of guilt. Using large amounts of magic took their toll, and teleporting Old Deuteronomy was the biggest trick Tugger had ever seen Misto pull. Hence he was now all but carrying Misto back to his den. As he should really, it was him who asked Misto to try. He knew Misto didn’t like to make a show of his magic in front of everyone – he was always so scared of hurting someone. Tugger reckoned he was the only one who had gotten past enough of Misto’s walls to know that. Macavity had done that to him and Tugger hated it. He hated how Misto couldn’t see how beautiful it was, how capable he was… how beautiful he was.
“You were magnificent, Sparkles. Thank you for doing it, I know it was hard for you.”
“Yes, well, the Jellicles took me in and gave me a home. They were kind to me when they didn’t have to be, I had just escaped from their worst enemy. It’s the least I could do. Although,” he paused for a moment to shake his paws out again, leaning more heavily on Tugger, “I am hoping it will not be a regular occurrence.”
Tugger could practically see the waves of exhaustion rolling off of him. Thankfully, his den was just around the corner.
“Shouldn’t be!” he sang. “Munk will find out how he got past our defences, I bet he’s already got a gazillion ideas how, we’ll patch them up and everyone will know how awesome you are!”
Misto jabbed his side with his elbow.
“You act like I’m some sort of superhero, Tugger, but-”
“You’re not the villain he made you think you are,” Tugger interrupted sharply, stopping and twisting to look at Misto. “He made you think your magic was evil and could only be used to hurt people, but look, you just used it to save the Ball! That’s nothing short of spectacular!”
“You say that,” Misto whispered, “but I don’t know if I could have done it if you hadn’t asked. You have a way of making me feel like I can do anything, of bringing out confidence in me I didn’t know was there. I don’t think I would have had the nerve without you backing me.”
“I’ll always back you, Sparkles, always.”
“It’s a gift you have,” he continued, a slight blush the only indication he had heard what Tugger said. “Not many Cats could’ve come up with the perfect song like that on the spot.”
“Flattered though I am that you think I came up with that on the fly, you should know I’ve been working on it all year,” Tugger said. “This just… wasn’t where I intended to use it.”
Misto looked up at him, his brow furrowed.
“What do you mean?”
Tugger sighed.
“I mean, I was planning to use it to ask you to dance with me at the Ball. I know Plato and Vic had their moment, but there could’ve been another one, ya know?”
“Dance… like a pas-de-deux at the Jellicle Ball dance?”
“Exactly like that.” Tugger felt heat rush to his face and stared at the ground, his eye catching on a spectacularly ugly broken umbrella. “I’ve known for ages I wanted to ask you, and thought that if I could come up with the perfect song, then you would know how I feel about you. But then dad got kidnapped and I thought maybe it could help you build your confidence to use your magic in front of everyone. Guess I beefed that, huh?”
“A pas-de-deux at a Jellicle Ball means two Cats become mates,” Misto said slowly, his voice tentative. “That’s what Bomba told me, after last year when Demeter and Munkustrap had theirs. It’s your tradition here, right?”
“It’s… yeah. I want that. With you, I mean. If you’ll have me, that is.” Tugger kept his eyes fixed on the ugly umbrella. See, this was why he had spent months working on a song! He could express himself so much better through song! He finally gathered the nerve to look up again, and found Misto gazing at him, his lovely green eyes wide.
“If I’ll have you?” Misto let out a strained laugh. “Do you know long I’ve been scared that the much-adored, popular, could-have-any-Cat-he-wants Rum Tum Tugger wouldn’t look twice at me? That I’ve pushed down feelings I thought were impossible for as long as I’ve known you?”
“You feel it too?” Tugger said, hope rising inside him.
“Like I’ve known you my whole life? Like part of me was missing up till now?”
“Like nothing is right when you’re not there, like my heart belongs to you.”
“Like I love you,” Misto whispered, as Tugger pressed their foreheads together.
“Like I love you,” he said back. “Everlasting Cat, I’m so glad it’s not just me!” Misto laughed softly, and Tugger made sure to store that wonderful sound in his long-term memory.
“I felt it right away,” Misto said, “I just didn’t know what it was. I haven’t felt like this before.”
“Me neither,” Tugger admitted. “But I knew you were perfect for me, I just couldn’t find the right time to say it.”
“So you spent all that time coming up with that wonderful song,” Misto said softly.
“Worth it. You deserve to know how special you are.”
“As much as I don’t think there could have been a wrong time, I think you found the good time here.” With that, Misto leaned up and pressed their lips together. Fireworks exploded in Tugger’s stomach – nothing had ever felt so right. He and Misto were supposed to be mates, he just knew it. They would need to wait until the next Ball for their official pas-de-deux, but no matter. The Everlasting knew She had made them to be together.

I don’t have a lot in me for this month, but I wanted to at least have something for Day 1.
Ball
If anything is to be known about me, it should be that I am obnoxious AF about the last two minutes of the Jellicle Ball. My obnoxious rambling can be found below.
There is so much that's just good in the ball, so so so much to love, but there's something about the energy of Princess Louise that makes me want to immediately get up and join in (lol like i ever could) I love the wiggles, I love the kicks, I love to complain that more Tuggers should be allowed to join in that section you let Johnny P do it GIVE ME TUGGERS IN PRINCESS LOUISE I love how they're all dancing together and how the cats in the back will often join in either by rocking out or doing some of the movements.
The transition in the music into Warsaw causes a shiver to run down my back without fail. And that final minute. I can't I love watching them work together for the finale. Yes, they move in waves sometimes but this isn't about any one group or any particular cat - it's about the whole clowder working together to reach the finale of their special celebration of themselves and each other. It's exhilarating to sit through in the theater. Absolute perfection.

It has been a long bit since I have written anything and posted it but here we are. As part of @storyweaverofgondor's Cats-Pril event.
This takes place after the Ball and features Munkustrap and Mistoffelees. Tuggoffelees is mentioned but not important.
No Warnings needed
Have not decided if this will be posted on ao3.
The energy from the night’s ball had finally ended. Everyone was headed back to their dens, their mind, and body finally succumbing to sleepiness.
Everyone but Munkustrap who sat high on the tire watching as the Jelicles cleared out of the main part of the Yard.
He knew, in his mind, that he should be in his den with Demeter and Jem relaxing. But his body was still tight with anxiety as he thought about Macavity showing his face and his mother going to the Heavyside Layer. It was still fresh in his mind.
‘Just a little longer. Then I’ll go to the den.’ He thought to himself.
Just as he finished his thought, he heard a soft and familiar voice.
“You know, I thought you’d be gone by now.”
He chuckled. “I could same the same about you Mistoffelees.”
The younger tom took his seat next to the Jellicle Protector.
“I’d like to think you’d be with Tugger. Afterall. You must be tired after using all that magic.” His tone was light though Mistoffelees could hear how tired their Protector actually was.
“I am. But then I saw you here. By yourself. I mean you must also be tired from the fight with Macavity.”
He seemed embarrassed. The complete opposite of the confident cat Munkustrap saw at the Ball today.
Munkustrap grinned. “Tired doesn't even cover it. Then again. Your little show with my brother made it all better.”
The other tom suddenly found the ground more interesting. “Tugger does have a way to make one feel…” he paused, “special.”
“He does. Though I think that only applies to you.” He replied. “I don’t think that’s the reason you are here talking to me. Isn’t it?”
Mistoffelees huffed and rolled his eyes, “You're right. Demeter saw Tugger and I on our way to one of our dens and asked Tugger to make sure you got some sleep. I volunteered instead.”
“Thank you Mistoffelees. I appreciate your concern.”
Mistoffelees stood up, “Does that still mean I’ll have to force you to get down from the tire?”
Munkustrap laughed, “No. No. I’ll follow you down.”
And so Munkustrap finally gave into what his body needed.
Was his mind still filled with all the panic the Jellicle Ball had given to the Jellicle Protector? Yes.
But his mind was also filled with the love and peace his family provided.
