Okay, imagine the reader has trouble sleeping (like insomnia or something) and König is just like "Look! I got you this really tasty smoothie... totally doesn't have sleep meds in it 👁️👁️..."
And I saw a tiktok where this boyfriend was like "this is how much I eat in a day! (A full breakfast, healthy lunch and fulfilling dinner"). and for his girlfriend it was like "she eats a cookie in the morning (optional)" and I thought it was so true cuz I forget to eat sometimes 😭.
Surely König would make sure Engel is in proper health right? (this could also tie into the 'more you need him the better he feels abt himself' thing).
You know I have this hc of König that he treats almost every situation in life as a problem that simply needs to be fixed! He will fix everything (or die trying), from cars to guns to computers to people. Whether it's eliminating “the evil” or taking care of his Engel, König deals with his, uh, human problems accordingly so yes he would slip medicine in her drink if he needs to! She’s his responsibility, after all.
König doesn’t always remember to take care of himself but he does take care of Engel, asks if she has eaten today, asks if anyone has bothered her. It's her new normal to give him a detailed report whenever they see each other. (And isn't it nice to finally have a guy who is so interested in her feelings and affairs? It's not a report, she's just telling him how her day has been. Right…?)
König can and will take care of his beloved, but he's not exactly a mother hen about it. This man treats every problem with a soldier's efficiency. An optional cookie would not suffice for breakfast, if he sees Engel trying to pull off something like that he will force her to sit back down. Neither of them are going anywhere until she has eaten properly.
If she falls ill, König will try to take time off work. It's as if she's suddenly a child he needs to tend to for a couple of days. His one and only needs him, so how could he go to work? (König would never let an opportunity like this pass, Engel being in a state of helplessness and need is catnip to him)

The Arcana HCs: MC makes M6 breakfast in bed
Part 2 is here:
Julian
So excited when he sees what you're bringing him that he nearly upsets the breakfast tray
"This is for me? Really?? I love you. I love you so much MC."
He's secretly checking to make sure you included some coffee because the excitement will only last him so long and he needs to be awake for this
Legit might start crying when you hand him the biggest mug of the strongest stuff on the market
Will pull you into bed to keep him company while he eats
Over the top compliments on every dish
"This toast is beautiful. Best toast I've ever had. It's a good thing you only made enough for me or people would fight wars for this toast. Look at the beautiful detailing along the edge! I should write a sonnet for this crust."
Squabbled with Malak over the crumbs
Will brag about it to anyone who will listen
Asra
You knew to put the tray down nearby before waking him up because it takes a while
Rumpled and drowsy and so charmed by your affection he keeps forgetting to eat at first
Only digs in once you're snuggled in next to them
They insist on feeding you every other bite
Faust has her own diet but she's intrigued with all the dishes in the bed
She curls up around the teapot because it's warm and now it's impossible to have more tea because she looks so happy neither of you wants to disturb her
After you wash up the breakfast dishes together he'll insist on taking on some of your daily duties in return
Nadia
At first she thinks you just requested breakfast be brought to her chambers and you felt like carrying the tray yourself
Until she notices that the fruit is unevenly sliced and there's a salad fork next to her eggs
Very deeply honored
Takes her time to savor each bite, putting on her best manners for you
Is it as good as the professional palace chef? No, but MC made it with their own two hands, therefore it could not be better
Lots of thoughtful compliments
She's especially pleased with the small silver bowl of Chandra-safe food you included so she could join you two from the windowsill
You'll be receiving an invitation to her gazebo later for the finest afternoon tea she could plan
Muriel
We know he got through a lot of his early childhood by trying to sleep off the hunger, so you can imagine how special it is for him to wake up to your smiling face and a heaping plate of food in the comfort of his own bed
Good luck being awake before him though, he wakes up at dawn to feed the chickens
Doesn't have many words that early in the morning, so he'll very carefully accept your gift with a small, sleepy smile
He won't start eating until he knows you've been properly fed
Not everything on the tray is breakfast food, because you're on a mission to feed him all the dishes he never tried growing up
You spent all of the previous afternoon in the marketplace visiting each food vendor for their best menu item
You gave Innana so many treats to guard it outside the hut overnight and not tell Muriel about it
He insists on doing the breakfast dishes so you can go back to sleep, you were up before the sun was after all
Portia
Squeals
Not gonna lie, you were kind of worried about the food you had to offer since Portia is one of Vesuvia's best bakers
Which is why you enlisted Mazelinka's help to make something she wouldn't find in the palace
It's close enough to the real thing that she recognizes it almost immediately and gets a little teary eyed
Talking with her mouth full about how you two are going to take classes from Mazelinka together
"I didn't realize how much I missed this until I smelled it MC, thank you so much! I need to learn how to make this now."
There is also a small bowl of cold chicken and catnip tea for Pepi
You and Portia watch her drink it and dissolve into giggles when she gets high off of it
Rubs it in Ilya's face next time she sees him that she has a super awesome MC who makes her breakfast in bed
Lucio
He didn't want to wake up at first, but the breakfast is a good bargain
Doesn't realize that you're the one who made it until you tell him
"Why didn't you say so? Of course you would though, I'm - we're - the best!"
Invites Mercedes and Melchior onto the bed to partake in the feast
"You'd better be grateful, MC made this with their own two hands."
There are crumbs everywhere, you'll have to change the sheets later
He really is grateful though, every now and then he'll look over at you and blush amidst all the chaos
By lunchtime he's forgotten about it

SillyHanma Amimal Hcs
This idea isn't going anywhere but
All Hanmas ended up being animal-like with animal ears and tails and show animal-like behavior, they are still human but 14% of their brains operated like the animal they are (if tha makes sense)
Baki-bunny
Jack- wolf/dog
Yujiro-cat
So basically the hanmas their normal-self but will show animal-like behavior like baki will still be himself except for the bunny ears and tail, he is like any normal person but does bunny activities like it's normal ya know eating greens, doing tha nose twitch, having the zoomies but he is still human.
Baki might try to chew on cords, but kouze is always quick to catch him before he electrocutes himself. He'll also be circling kouze feet when he's excited to see kouze, especially if he hasn't seen her for a while. Sometimes, he'll slightly nip kouze to get her attention, Kouze tries her hardest not to randomly pet baki's ears, but she can't help herself. Her bunny-rabbit boyfriend is too cute to resist. Since baki is part bunny, he became a vegan. He would try to eat meat, but he ended up throwing it up an hour later(vegan baki hc goes hard)
Jack is a wolf or maybe a dog (idfk it's like 2 in the morning) he still his normal self but he does dog like shit like digging holes, chewing on bones(he does tha already), and liking belly rubs(only if its kurhea). Having a ball thrown for him to fetch. Knowing kurhea hell probably get Jack a collar, a spike one to be specific.
Jack would probably sleep on a dog bed but still in a regular bed if he feels like it, He doesn't eat dog food (he'll give you the dirtest look) but he does like doggy treats. He wouldn't appreciate being pet outta the blue(unless it's kurhea), so you'll have to ask. JACK CAN NOT BE TRUSTED WITH TENNIS BALLS, HE WILL EAT THEM. He has eaten at least 7 (he got a hold of a pack tha Kureha was hiding. He said it tastes like limes).
Yujiro is a cat(basically a neko), he is still his normal shitty self but has cat ears and a tail, which is very long and fluffy. He doesn't eat cat food( he would kill you if you try to give him some) and doesn't play with cat toys(except for laser). He likes to sit wherever despite being too big (likes to spread out on strydum's desk while he's doing work).
He has a habit of licking himself in front of people. If he ever goes missing it's most likely he's under a pice of furniture, waiting for someone to walk by so he can claw at their feet(it's his favorite game to play) He likes to hunt small animals, and if he's feeling nice he'll plop one on strydum's bed as a present. Also, he doesn't feel the need to wear clothes. He uses the excuse "Last time I check cats don't wear clothing " (he's a dick). So to strydums dismay, he has a big naked ass cat man lounging around his home.
Despite not liking most cat things, he loves catnip( but he would never admit this). One day, while out, Strydum wanted to see if yujiro would react to cat nip. He bought a big bag of it but somehow the bag tore and he was covered in cat nip, Before he could make it through the door, yujiro pounced on him. Rubbing up against him and oddly enough meowing It's like for a moment, he went full cat mode. He was like this for the whole day. Just rubbing and grinding on stryudm( he was also naked). After the effect of the catnip wear off Yujiro was fucking livid, So ever since that incident yujiro has ban cat nip from ever coming near him.
It's common sense to know that trying to pet yujiro is automatic death but if he does allow someone to pet him, they'll only have a good 10 seconds before he attacks their hand(he is such an asshole cat.) If you end up hearing purring while petting Yujiro, for your own safety DO NOT MENTION IT, YUJIRO HIMSELF DOES NOT KNOW WHEN HE IS PURRING. IF YOU TRY TO BRING IT UP TO HIM IN A TEASING MATTER HE'LL ATTACK YOU ON SPOT

Catnip For A Sphinx
A while back I met my friend Snepril and got to talking about character lore. Being the person I am I started making jokes about catnip and one thing led to another and a few days later I dropped a story on her head. Here's that story! This one should be a hit with the otherkin in the crowd. Also, her wife Skye is featured, who has since succumbed to kitty propaganda.
Summary: April buys novelty catnip wine for her cat to try out and decides to give it a taste herself. She quickly discovers that she might not be quite so human as she thought—and also that she loves catnip.
What to expect: lots of fluff (literal and metaphorical), TF in the form of a permanent glamour dropping for the first time to reveal a true form, lots of otherkin vibes, the silly actions of an extremely large cat in an extremely normal-sized apartment, wings, hugs, wives, and collars.
Length: 3.7k words.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“I’m hooome!” 
April knocked open the apartment door, knob twisted with an elbow. She backed in, arms laden with groceries. It was almost too much to carry, but she only had to take one trip from the car, so it was worth it. 
“You get everything?” Skye, her partner, appeared out of the hallway. She gave April a one-armed hug and tucked her chocolate-colored hair behind her ear and out of her face. Without asking, she grabbed the grocery bags off of one of her arms. 
“Of course I did,” April said, nudging Skye’s foot with her own. “I can carry these, silly.” 
Skye stuck out her tongue in reply. “I know.” The two lugged the food into the kitchen, setting it on the counter to sort out and put away. A particularly heavy bag made a loud clink as Skye set it down, and she tugged it open, curious. She snickered as she pulled out a glass bottle with a familiar reddish-purple tint. 
“Oh my god, where did you find this?” Skye asked, delighted. “Pinot Meow? Incredible.” 
April laughed, shoving a carton of eggs into the fridge. “Walmart! That was the last one on the shelf. I need to see Zorua two glasses deep in that stuff.” 
Skye grinned, eyes glinting. “Perfect. Yes. Oh, this weekend is going to be fun.” 
Rest of the story below the cut. If you prefer a Google docs reading experience you can find that here but only if you reblog this first or I cast magic missile. As always, comments/questions/thoughts would be lovely! If you made it this far, may your days be filled with the wisdom of the fat boar resting in dappled sunlight.
“Is he still pouting in the bedroom?” 
“Mhm. Won’t budge.” The couple’s cat, Zorua, was a little fiend of a man. His fur was as gray as his morals, as Skye liked to say. In reality, he was just needy and particular; they’d forgotten to make his bed just right that morning and he’d been grumpy all day. April figured this was a good way to make amends, and also get kitty blackmail for later. Plus he was all out of treats, so a temporary alternative was needed. 
“Well, intoxicating substances solve all problems,” April declared, snapping the fridge door closed as she dropped the last few tomatoes into the crisper. Skye giggled and pulled her in for a proper hug, their foreheads pressed together.
“A kitty like you would know, wouldn’t you?” Skye teased. April squeezed her. 
“Maaaaybe!” 
“Well, my love, can you get started on dinner? I’ve gotta shower and finish up something for work.” April nodded, breaking the hug and letting her partner head to their makeshift office space. 
“Mind if I pop open the cat wine?” She called out. 
“Go for it, but don’t get him too drunk without me!” Skye replied, laughing. April snagged the bottle in one hand and a shallow plastic bowl in the other, walking over to the bedroom door. She pushed it open slowly, and sure enough, there was Zorua, sitting on the bedside table with his nose in the air. She clicked her tongue, and he opened one eye, glaring at her. 
“Aw, who’s a grumpy man?” April jibed. Zorua closed his eye again and turned away. “Still mad, hmm? Well, I’ve got a treat for you,” she cooed, tiptoeing over to sit on the bed. She made sure not to make it seem like she was actually approaching him; that would only make matters worse. Setting the bowl down on the floor, she twisted the cap on the bottle, popping the seal. 
Immediately, the smell snuck out into the air. April almost sneezed, surprised at its strength. She checked the bottle; mostly water and catnip, with beet for the color. Perhaps catnip smelled stronger than she remembered? Regardless, it was strangely appealing. She poured some out into the bowl, only about half an inch deep, and pushed it into Zorua’s view, hoping the smell would be enough to get him to investigate. 
April stood up once more, ready to go cook dinner, but she hesitated, staring at the bottle in one hand, curious about its contents. Perhaps a little too much so. What did it actually taste like? Catnip didn’t have any particular allure for a human that she knew of; it was literally named after cats, after all. If it was poisonous, the bottle would say so, so why not try it out? Glancing over at Zorua, she gingerly sniffed the cat wine again, then tipped it back, taking a small sip. 
The flavor hit her palette so explosively that she got knocked back on the bed, legs collapsing underneath her. April gasped and coughed, shocked at just how incredible it was. She considered taking another sip—and by the time she had, the bottle was already tipped back in her mouth, brain playing catch up with her instincts. Zorua watched from the bedside table with concern on his furry brow as April drained the rest of the cat wine, then darted away yowling as she flopped on her back, as fluffy as the blankets, the bottle shooting out from between her paws. 
The room swirled. April stared up at the ceiling, blinking rapidly. She licked her lips, long tongue flicking out and swirling across her muzzle. Her cheeks felt weeeeeird. Like there was something on them. She swiped her paws across them, squishing her face; it didn’t help the weird, twitchy feeling, though. She grunted, limbs wriggling as she flipped herself over, standing up on all fours on the bed. She smacked her maw, letting out a soft, happy mrrrp! The sphinx’s wings fluttered, sending the warm air swirling about between her feathers. 
That cat wine was delicious. Her whole body was buzzing with warmth, radiating outwards and into the mottled gray and white fur. She’d have to buy more of it….
...Was there… something to do…? 
Dinner! She still had to cook! April’s eyes shot open, and her wings flung out to the sides—one of which slammed into the wall and shoved her right off the bed, yowling and tumbling to the floor. 
Finding her feet, April fluffed up her fur, indignant. How dare. She gave the wall a solid, fifteen second glare to show her displeasure. Standing, the bed was a foot or so below her shoulder; it used to be way taller, but she didn’t pay that much mind, as her nose caught a scent that made her pupils dilate. 
Pinot Meow. There was more! Of course there was—she had poured a bowl out earlier. Wobbling on her paws, she slunk around the corner of the bed frame. 
Zorua was there already, slurping up the cat wine. “Heyyy!” April whined, scooting forwards and almost tipping herself over. She skidded to a stop, accidentally dunking a paw in the wine. Zorua made a sleepy fffss! at her, and she stuck her tongue out. She sniffed at her paw—then promptly stuffed it in her mouth, ears flattening happily.
April crouched, lapping from the bowl, purring. She was a human, of course, so it was a little undignified, but only Zorua saw it, and he was no snitch. No one else had to know. The cat stomped away from the bowl, steps unsteady. He made a fuss about it, but no amount of shaky swiping at April’s ears could get her nose out of the wine. Her tongue slowed; after drinking down half the bowl, she leaned forwards, muzzle dunking into her drink. The purring grew louder and more intense as she rested. Her eyes closed to slits, bubbles breaking the surface of the wine each time she breathed out of her mouth, her nostrils wide. 
April rested like that for a while, not quite napping, but certainly out of it. Even though she was quite large—human sized, she told herself smartly, although in reality it was closer to a toy horse—the amount of catnip-infused wine she’d drunk was doing a serious number on her. Taking in deep whiffs of it, her mind wandered, imagining soft blankets, beds strewn with treats, the liquid gold of sun rays….
….
“April?!”
The sphinx snorted, sucking up wine into her nose. She coughed and splattered it all over her face, accidentally tipping the bowl over with a paw as she spun to face the doorway, tail stuck straight up in the air. Her wings flapped madly, gusts billowing around Skye, who let out a sharp cry. 
“I was NOT sleeping!” April declared. To Skye, it sounded much more like “Mor-oooow!” Her eyes flicked back and forth between the stain on the carpet and April’s face. 
“Oh my god, you got into the cat wine, didn’t you?” she burst out. 
“NO,” April huffed. Or rather, “MROW.” 
Skye didn’t listen, gripping the door frame. “I can’t believe you ACTUALLY turned into a sphinx, and the first thing you do is get kitty wine everywhere!” 
“It’s—I’m clearly still human, see?” April countered, sitting back on her haunches and holding up her forepaws, swinging them a bit as she tried to keep her balance. Skye giggled despite the amazement on her face. The sphinx planted her paws on the ground and stood, indignant, ready to march over and give Skye a piece of her mind. Walking wasn’t easy, unfortunately, and she found herself face-planting on the carpet with a surprised brrr! Her wings flapped once, then settled on either side of her like a disheveled cloak. 
“Drunk cat,” Skye scoffed, looking down at April. “Let’s get you cleaned up. I guess you didn’t make dinner, then?” The sphinx looked away, huffing. 
Skye disappeared, returning a moment later with a towel. April stumbled back up to her paws, sitting firmly on her haunches to keep from falling over. Her partner sat on the edge of the bed and gestured for April to come over to her. “Here, I got something to get all that wine.”
April huffed, head held high, the picture of sphinxly, catlike pride. But human, of course. She wasn’t actually a sphinx. That would be silly, she thought, pawing at the whiskers still tickling her face.
“Is someone grumpy?” Skye accused, folding her arms and furrowing her brow in a caricature of frustration. “Is someone all mad because she made a mess?” 
“Ech-ch-ch-ch!” April flicked her tail, making SEVERAL dissatisfied noises at Skye, who echoed each one back at her. She didn’t even get the subvocal tones right. April heaved herself back to her feet and marched over, lecturing Skye on proper throat positions (really just a bunch of indignant meows), but the moment she felt Skye’s hands on her ears, her butt hit the floor once more, a purr bubbling up her throat.
Skye dabbed the towel on April’s chin. She glanced away, grunting, but Skye gently pushed her face back towards herself, rubbing the towel into her wet fur. 
“Mrrrp.” April’s eyes crossed. 
“Hmm? What’s that?” Skye cooed, digging her fingers into the sphinx’s cheek fluff. 
“Mrrooooowwwwww.” 
“Oh, someone has OPINIONS,” Skye sang, mopping up April’s throat. As she moved the towel up and down, her purr-growl went up and down in tone with each pass. 
“Ffffsss!” April sputtered like a dying engine, the statement sending her already impaired brain into a tizzy. 
“Opinions too big even for a big kitty like you! They’ve gotta get out!” 
“Mmmrooooow!”
“Go ahead, tell me all about it.” 
April kept up the back-and-forth with Skye for some time while the latter cleaned off her face and neck. It took a while, but finally the soaked towel was tossed aside. April’s nose followed it, but Skye cupped her palm on the side of her face, fingers scritching under her floof. 
“No more of that for you,” she chided. “You’ve had more than enough.” 
April chattered at her, but opted to not argue, since staying put meant more pets. She leaned into it, blinking slowly up at Skye, who smiled down back. 
“What are we gonna do with you, huh?” she mumbled. April wasn’t entirely sure what she meant—she was just a little bit drunk, after all—but stretched her neck out and gave Skye a reassuring lick on the cheek. She laughed, pushing her face back. “Aw, come on, you have kitty breath!” 
April didn’t stop, planting her paws on either side of Skye on the bed and licking her cheek again. Skye made a valiant effort, but couldn’t keep the cat away, giggling. After a moment, though, April shrunk back. Her muscles bunched, fur rippling. Before Skye knew what was going on, April leapt up onto the bed, pushing her into the middle of it and, fwump, dropping right on top of her. Muffled protests sounded from somewhere under the mound of fluff, but April could hardly hear over her own purr. 
Wings fluttering to rest splayed across the bed and drooping to the floor, relaxed and content, the sphinx nodded off, soon followed by her partner, slipping into the realm of fluffy dreams. 
___
 April awoke to sunbeams warming her back. Her head felt like it was full of cotton. Skye was already up; April could hear her puttering about in the kitchen. She stretched, ears flattening, wings shuddering before collapsing back down flat. Something about them felt… off, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She yawned, arching her back, tail fluttering in the air. She stared down at one of her paws, admiring the rosettes that coated her fur. 
Paws. 
Those… didn’t have fingers. 
“I’m a SPHINX?!” April’s yowl brought Skye running in from the kitchen, decked in an apron. She stood on the bed, fur on end, wings raised and knocking against the ceiling as she heaved in and out. Skye raised her hands placatingly. 
“Hey! It’s okay, I’m here, you’re fine!” 
April stared at her, eyes wide with disbelief. “What happened?!” 
Skye scooted up to the edge of the bed, gesturing for April to close her wings. She did so slowly, regaining control over the massive appendages, settling down in a loaf on the bed. Skye rubbed one of her ears, eliciting a purr. 
“The cat wine triggered something,” she explained. “At least, I assume. You had it all over yourself.” 
“Seriously? I got all furry because of catnip? How is that stuff even legal if it does… THIS to people?” April groaned. 
“Well, you are a bit of a unique circumstance, to be fair.” 
She sighed. “I suppose.” The sigh blended into the purr as Skye moved her hand to the other ear. 
“The catnip was probably normal, and maybe all those conversations about hiding in a human form were your subconscious trying to signal you. Or maybe it was actually magic catnip. Does it really matter, though, when you were a sphinx before and you’re a sphinx now?” 
April leaned forward and bonked her forehead against Skye’s face. The words felt warm in her chest, and when she tried to speak, all that came out was a stutter and an affectionate mew. 
“I guess what was the right thing to say, then,” Skye chuckled, hugging her sphinx. “I made breakfast, since you were too busy catting it up last night to make dinner. C’mon, I’m starving.” 
Skye stood, and April followed, thumping down to the floor and plodding along behind Skye. Her nose twitched, and she realized that she knew what she’d find in the kitchen before even getting near the doorway. 
Sure enough, there was a bowl of cereal and fruit sitting on the table alongside a plate with a few slices of simple grilled chicken. Zorua was fixated on it from one of the counters, but upon seeing April, bounded down and out of the room. She didn’t mind; more for her. She could already feel her mouth salivating. Skye pulled out a chair and sat down; April nudged the one on her side out of the way, more than large enough to sit on her haunches and still reach her plate. She sat down daintily, and promptly attacked her chicken like an animal. Skye just laughed and ate her breakfast in silence. 
What was going to happen next? April could already tell that this meal wouldn’t be satisfactory; she was a big cat, and big cats needed to eat a lot. That was going to be expensive. Not to mention her job—she worked from home, but IT was going to be extremely difficult with a keyboard built for hands. A small shiver went down her spine; she really did have paws. She’d checked four times already. As exciting as that was, that still meant half the income if she couldn’t figure out work, and could get away without showing her face anywhere. 
There was so much to consider. Was a wardrobe necessary? How could she get outside? This apartment wasn’t made for a cat that was almost as tall as the average human; she barely fit as is. Oh, god, what about bathrooms? She’d need a litter box half the size of the living room! She DEFINITELY wouldn’t fit in the bathtub, even using the showerhead—was she going to have to lick herself clean? Did sphinxes have to do that sort of thing at all? Was she actually mythical, or just unconventional? There… was a sort of blue glow at the edges of her vision, if she didn’t focus on anything in particular, and looked at juuuust the right angle….
She blinked, eyes focusing on her plate and the last abandoned strip of chicken. April looked up and saw Skye looking at her, concerned. 
“What now?” she whispered. 
Skye sat in thought for a moment, then set down her spoon. “Honestly? Not a clue. But hey, aren’t we lucky that you gained a mighty sphinxly form on a weekend?” 
April smiled. It was lucky. Far more time to sort things out. She bent down, predator’s teeth easily snatching up the last bite of chicken.
“I’m just glad you can talk now. You were so wacked out on catnip last night that you couldn’t do anything but meow!” 
April’s eyes bulged, nearly choking on the piece of chicken. She barely managed to keep her wings in check, lifting a paw to her chest instead as she swallowed. “I what?!” 
Skye nearly fell out of her chair laughing.
___
“I’m hooome!” 
April’s ears perked up at the sound of the front door. She climbed to her paws, circling around furniture lithely, feathers brushing up against chairs and walls. The apartment was small, but she could deal with it. 
Skye stood in the entryway, a bag dangling off one arm as she took her shoes off. She smiled at April, reaching out and running a hand through her hair. “How was your day?” 
“Lazy,” April remarked, purring and rubbing up against Skye’s legs, almost pushing her off balance. “Big cats need lots of sleep, after all.” Skye laughed. 
“Big cats also usually don’t work in IT, Miss Sfeenks.” 
April chuckled back, tail coiling and uncoiling around one of Skye’s ankles. She stuck her snout into the handles of the plastic bag. “I can carry that for you.” 
“If you insist!” Skye responded, slipping her arm out. The light bag settled on the bridge of April’s nose. “Just don’t look inside, you’ll ruin the surprise.” 
“I thought you were just buying lint rollers.” 
“Well, that was the plan. You’ll see soon enough!” 
April shrugged, plodding back through the living room to go and drop the bag on the bed. It couldn’t have more than one or two things in it, based on the weight. She slowed to a stop, one paw still held in the air, as the bag bumped against her whiskers. The sphinx stayed frozen like that for a few seconds, before her nose twitched and she let out a huge sneeze, covering it with a wing. 
The bag didn’t fall, but one handle did slip off her nose. She pawed at it, bapping herself in the face on accident, determined to get it back on while simultaneously not looking down.
After much trial and error, April managed to slip the loop back over her nose and carted the bag to the bed, where she deposited it without incident. Skye followed shortly thereafter; April settled down on the floor in a loaf, legs tucked comfortably underneath herself and eyes half closed. Skye sat on the edge of the bed, pulling out the lint roller she’d gone to buy, attacking the sheets with it. April had found that even with the colder weather, she was shedding. It was going to be awful in the summer. At least she’d get brushed, though. That was a compromise she—
“MROW!”
Hands. Neck. Plus… oh, no.
April’s brain short circuited as she felt a ring of soft leather encircle her throat. Skye had taken advantage of her reverie to lean down and tug something around her neck. Logically, the answer was obvious, but April’s thoughts kept falling apart before she reached the conclusion. Skye’s warmth rested on her fur, hot breath blowing across her hair and ears. She could feel the smile in that breath. As soon Skye tugged the leather nice and snug, hands falling away, April spun around to face her. 
“EXCUSE MEEEOW!” she snarled, tripping over her own feet in her rush, all the poise of a cat gone in a moment. She stumbled and plopped her head right into Skye’s lap, who jumped.
“Woah! Hey there~,” she sang, hands immediately wrapping up and around behind April’s head, laced together there, playing with the… the….
“How do you like your new collar, little miss opinions?” 
April lost it then and there, sputtering in a mixture of shock and absolute giddiness, human words escaping her tongue. She smushed her face, hot under the fur, into Skye’s belly, hiding. Her whole body shook with the strength of her purr, even as the muffled yowls continued. 
“Aw, she loves it! Such a polite sphinx, wearing such a dignified little collar!” Skye bent over and wrapped her arms around April’s middle. She was still sputtering and chattering and whining into Skye’s shirt. All thought slammed to a halt, her entire being focusing on that soft ring around her neck, so… so right.
Skye mumbled into the fur and feathers on her back. “I figured you’d like it. A beautiful sphinx like you deserves proper accessories, after all. Plus, I just couldn’t help it.” She squeezed April tightly. “Now, who’s my good girl?” 
“Nyah! E-er, nnnnyot faaaair!” April wailed, finding her words once again. 
“Of course it’s fair, sphinxbutt. You’re just simply a good girl, nothing to it!” 
“Mrraah!”
“Meow meow meow, says the kittypet!” 
April’s speech flew from her once more. She kept meowing, but Skye’s insistent praise flitted in through her sharp ears, settling down in her brain. They stayed like that for a while, comfortably embraced, sphinx and wife, and only one coherent thought managed to breach the surface of April’s wildly roiling mind. 
No one would ever convince her to take her new collar off.

Twisted Wonderland Mozus Trein drabble
Suggestive content, about food and dreams. Lucius gets a bento box.
Tumblr media
A night of restless sleep might have been better for Mozus Trein if it got rid of waking up to a lonely morning, alone in a large bed. The dream he had was more of a curse than a blessing now that he was awake.
A sweet kiss from warm lips still hung on his cheek, reminding once again how solitary his life was. It was not the first dream he had to wake up from, but it hurt every time to realise the world he inhabited was less bright than the dreams reminding him of the life he once had. Of course he knew and accepted that the past had left him long ago, that there was no return to the old family he had had, but the memories still lingered and manifested in dreams. 
Rather than dwell on the dream and what was lost long ago, Mozus got up and headed to the shower. Lucius was still purring on the bed, clearly woken up by his master walking around the room, but happy to not leave the warm bed this early.
The water was cold, Mozus preferred it that way in the morning. It used to wake him up quickly, but lately he had started to take warmer showers, even if just a bit, still getting a short rush when getting into the shower. He was in good shape for a man his age, just like his brain, thinking quickly and ahead, yet he reminded himself that he was not young anymore, especially on mornings like these. The mornings were difficult after the dreams he had had lately, and he was just a man, unable to refuse the allure of the images in his dreams still haunting his mind. This would be his downfall one day, and rather than fighting the allure, he turned the water warmer, enveloping his body in the warmth for a moment longer, closing his eyes to see the image again.
It didn’t take long, but washing away the shame required the coldest shower in weeks and even that wasn’t enough. Drying his hair and brushing teeth, putting on clothes, finding the right socks, after which he had a moment to just play with Lucius. Nothing new, nothing special. With Lucius in his arms, Mozus Trein made his way out and to the main Academy building, saying good morning to the few students he came across, most trying not to meet his gaze. Inside the building he made it to his office, stopping after turning a corner .
Mozus caught you turning away from his office, closing the door before quickly walking away, like you did not just leave one of the teachers’ offices. Confused by your actions, he walked steadily to the same door you had just closed, and opened it. Nothing seemed amiss, everything was where it should be, except the papers he was grading last night, which were organised a bit better, in neater piles. The most out of place thing was a bento box on his table, with a smaller bento box on top of it. Lucius was the first to react, jumping on the table and curiously examining the boxes. While the bigger box seemed interesting, the small one seemed to keep his interest, as rather than just keep sniffing it, Lucius started pushing it, clearly intrigued by its contents. 
It really made Mozus happy, a small gift to his pet from the teacher’s pet, and rather than let Lucius just play with the box, Mozus decided to open it for him. There was a felt mouse that Lucius snatched right away, having smelled the contents of it: catnip. Otherwise it was just a normal bento box, but for a cat. Similarly the other box was a bento box, this one for professor Trein, and he had to take a moment to appreciate the cooking in it. Nothing fancy, but homely treats he might have mentioned in conversations off-hand. There was more than enough food for him and Lucius in the two boxes, and Mozus made a mental note to thank you appropriately for these gifts. Still, he was a bit shocked by the gifts, especially after the dream he had. 
Of course he dreamed of his deceased wife from time to time, but now there were also images of you mixed in. It was you in the kitchen, on his bed, holding his hand, laying under him, and last night you had brought him a lunch to his office with a kiss, that he Mozus had seized to enjoy your body against him, bringing you to his lap, but the dream had ended too soon, leaving him alone again. Yet, here was the lunch, the food he had dreamed of, made by you.

BELOW OUR KITCHEN LIGHTS: MATSUNO CHIFUYU X GN!READER
a/n: i love chifuyu <333
trope: hurt/comfort
masterlist
The mug of tea in your hand clatters against the table as Chifuyu wraps his arms around your waist, resting his head in the crook of your neck. He presses a kiss to your shoulder in silent apology. “I missed you. What're you making so late?" 
"Tea. Want some?"
He’s just taken a shower. Damp hair brushes against your skin as he shakes his head. He smells like that expensive bottle of coconut showergel you brought over for nights spent at his place – the cheek pressed against your skin feels so soft you don’t have the heart to tell him off. 
“Sorry,” he mumbles, as if he can read your mind, “I used your body wash. It smells nice.”
“I don’t mind if it’s you.” 
Chifuyu chuckles softly. “Yeah, yeah. I know you don’t like sharing.” He tilts his head to press a kiss beneath your jaw. “Don’t worry, I’ll buy you more. Let’s go shopping tomorrow. My treat.”  
“Chifuyu?” 
He perks up slightly. “Yeah?” 
“Go to sleep.” 
Chifuyu deflates. His chin slumps against your shoulder. “I never see you anymore.”
His arms unconsciously tighten, almost as if he’s terrified you’ll pull away without him even noticing. “I don’t want to be alone tonight.” 
His words hit you right in the gut. He’s right.
Work sends you home late, pushes Chifuyu out the door before you even wake up. Late night take-out in the fridge with post-it notes on the counter:
Got you some katsu – warm it up in the microwave <3 Love you. Psst there’s my left-over tempura in the fridge if you want (probably soggy tho >.<)
Flowers delivered to his office with notes sent up by the doorman–sorry i missed you last night, ‘fuyu. thanks for the katsu, let’s eat together next time. ilys–matched with a text appearing an hour later–and chifuyu! i love you <3 not sure when you’ll get it, but i maxed the character limit on the flowers
He must misinterpret your silence. "(Y/N)? What’s wrong?"
“Chifuyu,” you murmur. 
“I know it’s hard, but give me one more chance. I’ll do better.” 
“What?” 
“Don’t break up with me,” Chifuyu whispers. “I can’t do this without you.”
As soon as the words form, he sighs, shaking his head as if in trance. "Oh god. That sounds so shitty. I mean, we can. But let’s do it tomorrow. Not right now."
Break up with him?
“What? No, Chifuyu, that's not–” You face him, voice softening. “Hey. Look at me. I’m not going anywhere.”
“You're not?” His voice lilts with confusion, relief, and above all, overwhelming exhaustion.
It suddenly occurs to you that Chifuyu normally takes morning showers. Did he take that night-shower to stay awake for you? 
“I love you, ‘fuyu.” You say gently. “I'm sorry for being upset lately. I am, but it's not you. Just ... a lot of work and a crappy boss."
Chifuyu leans into your hand. He nods, a breath he'd been holding finally escaping his lips. "Oh. That makes two of us."
"You make me happy. Really. I’m not going anywhere.”
At the pained look in his eyes, you continue. “Home’s with you.”
“I,” Chifuyu whispers, “I needed to hear that.” He blinks, then presses a hand to his forehead. "I'm not ... thinking straight. Toman's going through it, and Takemichi’s not making things any less difficult."
You press a kiss to his forehead. “Come on, let’s go to bed.” 
With the lights out and Chifuyu’s back pressed to your chest, you press your lips to the back of his neck. “Get some sleep, okay? We'll talk more later."
"I'll be at a dinner party tomorrow night, but I'm staying home all until then. Taking you out, remember? And then we have the weekend." Chifuyu thumbs little circles into your arms wrapped around his waist. “I love you,” he whispers. “You know that, right?” 
"Yeah." You breathe into his oversized t-shirt. Traces of catnip linger among the detergent and coconut showergel. Your coconut bodywash. Him and you. "Yeah, I know."

@gyubby99 happy valentines. This is your gift.
Alastor x OC fic
Aponi shot up in bed with a smile when she realized what day it was.
Usually it was hard to know the date, but hell had been broadcasting it all over.
Valentines day.
Aponi had gone out to get all of her friends something. Especially Charlie, considering she had never been to earth.
Aponi also got something for alastor, but she was scared that he wouldn't care for it, so she figured she give it to him later. He wasn't really one for affection, and so she wasn't expecting anything from the radio demon either.
"Good morning my fellow demons!!!" Aponi called as she joyfully hopped down the stairs in her bright hot pink outfit.
"Well good morning toots!" Angel replied from his place at the bar.
"Morning!" Charlie called.
"Do you guys remember the date?" Aponi asked with a smile.
"Uhhhhh no?" Nifty answered from her place on the chandelier, cleaning it.
"Its valentines day! I got you all something to celebrate it!" Aponi replied.
"Awe shit. That's today? I'm afraid I didn't get you anything, babe," Angel replied as he stood up and walked over to Aponi to give her a hug.
"No worries! I figured as much! I just love the day, and it's been broadcasted all over hell," Aponi answered. "Here," she started as she handed each of her friends a gift.
"Leather boots? How tha fuck didja manage that?" Angel asked as he opened his gift.
"I had to cut a few people!" Aponi answered with a smirk.
"Catnip. Wow. Original," Husk deadpanned as he sighed. "Wait there's somethin else," he muttered before gasping. "More vodka! Fuck yes!" He exclaimed.
"Dont drink it all in one sitting," Aponi teased.
"A LAMP!" Vaggie exclaimed before rushing to plug it in and staring at the light.
"Ooooh a hair pin!" Nifty smiled as she put it on.
"Oh my gosh aponi. Guys look! It's the group photo we took when the hotel was just starting out!" Charlie called as she held up a picture frame.
"I had to bribe a lotta people but I got it done," Aponi stated.
"Oh this is all so sweet! Thank you!" Charlie smiled as she hugged the butterfly demon.
Minutes later Alastor walked into the hotel.
"Is my darling still asleep?" Alastor asked.
"Hm? Oh nah. She's at her studio dancin. She'll be gone for a while," Angel replied.
"Ah I see. New boots?" Alastor asked.
"Yeah! Ya girl gottem for me for valentines day! She got all of us stuff," Angel replied.
"Valentines day? That's today?" Alastor asked, his voice glitching out a bit.
"Yeah but don't sweat it. She seemed pretty cool with the fact that we forgot too," Angel replied.
Alastor said nothing before walking out of the hotel.
30 minutes or so later, Alastor walked into the dance studio to find Aponi finishing up her dance.
He gave her some applause when it was finished. "Wonderful! Oh darling you truly are a treat!" Alastor exclaimed.
"Thanks honey! Oh! I have something for you for valentines day!" Aponi replied as she fished in her bag for the gift.
When she gave it to him, Alastor's smile grew.
"This is beautiful craftsmanship my dear!" Alastor exclaimed as he looked at the dagger in his hands.
The handle was dark red as blood and the steel of the blade was engraved with roses.
"I thought you'd like it. You don't need to use it or whatever, but I know you like weapons," Aponi explained as she packed up her items.
"Ah ah. Not so fast my dear. I have something for you too," the radio demon stated as he handed Aponi an orange box.
"Oh, Al you didn't have to..." Aponi replied as she opened it. Her smile grew as a small ring was known.
"Its a promise ring, my dear. It's like a deal of sorts. Not too romantic," Alastor tried to cover up his feelings.
"Oh honey... I love it thank you. And you're right. Just a deal. Not romantic," Aponi smirked before pulling the demon in for a kiss.

Today was a really nice day. I got a little overtired from being out in the sun but it will be okay. I am looking forward to sleep.
I slept alright last night. Remembering to turn the fan on and having that white nosie helps a lot. I woke up a little after 9 and as I was making the bed James came in and told me I looked really powerful standing on the bed which made me laugh.
We had a chill morning. I got dressed and felt alright. For sure needed to wash my hair. But putting it in a clip was fine for now. We would have to get Sweetp to the vet at 1230. And would want to get him ready around 1145 so we could be calm. So we got the carrier out early and just pretended it was no big thing.
Then while we were eating our little breakfasts James put catnip in the carrier and slowly got Sweetp comfortable. But by 1150 he was only putting his front paws in there. So I picked him up and put him in butt first.
He cried the entire time. I felt so bad. James felt so bad. But he kept crying!!
Once we got to the car he seemed a little calmer. James buckled him in and we headed to the vet.
We had not been to this one before but I low key loved it. Firstly it was like a blast from the past inside. Wood paneled walls and plastic chairs like a stadium. And the staff was super nice. There was an old guy taking his dog home who was full of jokes that had everyone smiling and in a good mood.
Me and James got in a bit of a tiff in the car when they told me they never got the pet insurance redone. And I thought we had not taken Sweetp to the vet until they did that but they didn't and I was like. Pissed pissed. When we got to the vet I found the insurance they accept and got James to buy it right then. I was much more calm after that. But man was I angry for a bit there.
The tech we had first was great. She was very sweet. Apparently sweetp's vet records labeled him as a dog which we all thought was very funny. And she said he isn't fat!! Just large!! The vet would confirm that when he came in. They were super complimentary actually once I told them my concerns. They were like. You could brush him more but he's beautiful and so sweet.
Sweetp was being really good though. He weights almost 17lbs. They did an ear temperature because he gets so upset with the butt one. They were super kind to make him comfortable.
The vet was a really neat guy. He has done animal handling for movies. And their clinic helps with gorillas in Africa. Which is amazing but he told us that the other vet there just died from west Nile virus he got in Africa 2 weeks ago. Wild. Heartbreaking. I'm really sorry for their loss.
He gave me a lesson plan they had written because I told him we do nature programs at camp. I thought that was super sweet of him. And it is clearly a labor of love and seems super cool. I will pass it on tomorrow.
The vet also asked if we had done sweetp's DNA before. He thinks he might have maine coon in his lineage because he's so friendly and big and how he plays. He also thinks I should get camp to do his DNA and use it for a lesson which I don't think they would go for but is a fun idea!
Sweetp got his shots. And he only bit the tech a little and she wasn't mad at him. Sweetp was being a super good little boy just sitting on the table though which was clearly making him uncomfy but he was being so good. We would get him back in his carrier and paid st the front. And then we headed home.
I was honestly really hungry but I was more focused on getting Sweetp home and comfy. We got him inside and he basically exploded out of the carrier and ran away. I got him to come back to give him a couple treats. Told him he's such a good boy. And then me and James headed back out.
We went to Chipotle for a late lunch. And it was really good. I got a salad and James got tacos. I saved half of mine for lunch tomorrow. Then James said we could get donuts for the road.
We went next door and I saw they had the spider donut keychain I had seen on Instagram. I was like. I need that. I love it. James said yes and I was bouncing a little cause I was excited. I got my two donuts and my keychain and James got a coffee and two donuts and soon enough we were on the road.
I named my spider donut Spooder. I love him very much. Good hand feel.
And it was a nice drive. A little long. A little bright. But a nice ride. We were going to a sunflower farm! We would stop at a royal farms to use their bathroom. This was a good move. The farm was just a field.
We arrived at the farm at 3. We paid our $10. And it was so worth it. It was beautiful. I also learned a lot about sunflowers. They are actually 2000 smaller flowers making up each sunflower? They are great at absorbing nuclear fallout?? They are super attractive to bees?? Incredible.
We took pictures and looked around. Walked on paths. The sun was just a little to hot on our backs but I only cares a little it was so beautiful and lovely. There were only a few other people and it just felt so special. Sunflowers are what James gave me when they proposed. We had them at our engagement party and our wedding. I love sunflowers. I love James.
We would struggle to take pictures because the sunflowers are not strong enough to balance my phone on. I was able to use a carabiner and hook it on the stem without damaging it but it wasn't ideal. Eventually we found a traffic cone and was able to take much better pictures. The sun was to bright though and I was struggling to see and not making pained faces without my sunglasses but I still think we look cute and happy. Because we were!!
We would decide it was time to go when we were a little to hot. The nice ladies at the front took our picture in a silly face in a hole sign. And then it was time to go home.
I was super glad I insisted on refilling my water cup at chipotle before we left. It was the best thing to cook is down. The AC helped. I was exhausted from the sun and just wanted to go home.
It wasn't a bad ride but I was fading a bit. When we got back here James carried my market box inside to be refreshed. I got some new stickers in the mail today. And I went to get changed.
I washed my face and would lay down. I had to answer some emails and stuff but I mostly just really really needed to sleep.
James would go for a bike ride. And I would sleep the evening away.
When I woke up at 7 I was really woozy. James kept asking me if I wanted anything but I didn't and I was so tired still and dehydrated and was like. Please stop. But they were just trying to help.
Eventually I would had a pbandj and take a bath and wadhed my hair. It helped but I am still really tired. And dehydrated.
I am going to go brush my teeth and drink some water and hopefully fall asleep easy.
I head to camp tomorrow. Looking forward to s nice day. I hope you all have a good night and a fun day tomorrow. Sleep well and be safe.

In Memoriam
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Today, my poor wonderful remaining cat was put to sleep after months with inoperable cancer.
His exact age was unknown; I adopted him from a shelter as an adult cat and the vet’s best guess was that he was around 3, based on the state of his teeth. That was 17 years ago, so he was around 20 or 21. (The average lifespan of a male indoor cat in the US is 16 to 17 years, so he lived a long life.)
Unlike my other poor cat, who passed away 3½ years ago of kidney failure, I chose him on purpose. I felt that the other cat needed a companion (which turned out to be untrue, really) and went to the local shelter. When they opened the kennel for him, he immediately climbed out into my arms and cuddled with me, and I adopted him as quickly as possible.
He was a very quiet and friendly cat — every vet said he was one of the most well-behaved, calm cats they had ever dealt with, and he would sit in anybody’s lap. He was usually very quiet and it was fairly rare to hear him vocalize for anything except food. (My other cat, who was a very loud cat, taught him how to howl for food in the morning, a habit he continued even after he was left alone.)
He was overweight for much of his life, although in the last year or so of his life he became thinner. (Keeping in mind that he was the cat equivalent of 80 or 85 years old, that is hardly surprising.) He loved meat when I would permit him to have scraps, and pate wet food. His teeth weren’t good — he lost several before I got him, apparently — so although he would eat dry food, he tended to swallow it whole, and was often sick afterwards. The discovery of puree treats — you may have seen cat owners refer to them as “gogurt” — was absolutely the most amazing innovation he ever encountered in his life, and if he had been permitted he would have lived on them.
He never had much taste for catnip, and it was only late in his life that I discovered that he enjoyed dried silver vine, which he liked to roll around in. He also was not very interested in birds or squirrels, although he liked to sit on the back of the sofa by the window and stare out into the wild. He also was not hugely interested in escaping — although I was always careful to keep the doors closed so that he couldn’t wander out, unlike my other cat he never made mad dashes to get out. He much preferred to sit in a sunny spot and doze.
He also loved to sit in a lap and be petted, more than most cats, although until very nearly the end he had limits as to how long he would stay — after half an hour he would decide that he had had enough and get up to go sit somewhere else. (Within watching distance, though — he always liked to keep an eye on his human.) Certainly, though, he was capable of sitting in one spot longer than any normal human was capable of keeping their legs still, and always looked affronted if you shifted him to switch legs, or — worse yet — moved him off your lap to get up and do something, even if that something was to feed him. In the last couple weeks of his life, he became so happy to stay in a warm lap that he no longer seemed to have limits, and would sit for an hour or more at a time without the slightest sign of getting restive.
At least 3 months ago, he developed cancer, which is a fairly common cause of death in elderly cats. Apparently, it tends to metastasize very quickly, and there is no effective treatment whatsoever, in part because there is no way to make the cat cooperate. Although he did begin to waste away and have tangible lumps in many places on his body, he still had plenty of energy left, even this morning when I took him in to be euthanized — but one of the lymph nodes on his jaw had swollen up so incredibly that he experienced horrible pain when he ate, and was unmistakably getting disoriented after every meal; he had begun to isolate himself in the basement in a totally uncharacteristic way, which is something cats begin to do when they believe they are going to die.
He is already deeply missed, and no other cat could ever replace him.

tw graphic descriptions of animal death;
grief is really hard to cope with, its kind of odd because ive lost people in my life before, like my nanas when i was a lot younger, but now losing my cat it. hits harder. Daimyo was my orange baby and best friend, this past year his health had been noticeably declining VERY quickly and he had been rapidly losing weight, and i knew he was close to the end a few months back when he started clinging to me and getting upset every time i left the room.
This cat loved me, the night before his passing when we were heading to bed, he curled up on a chair where my phone was placed (as there was no room on the bed) directly next to my head, and i knew he was dying in the morning when he got upset with me holding him, and simply flopping onto the bed when i set him down. He actively turned away from the tunafish i tried to give him in my vain attempt to get him to get up. Selfishly i couldnt sit and watch, and headed over to my siblings house to do something i had already planned for that day. I later heard once i got there, from my grandfather on the phone that Daimyo had tried to get up only to flop over onto the floor.
He held out for me. waited till he could be brought to me to pass. I heard him sniffle and maybe gasp for air before he looked at everyone else around me, and me, as i saw him grunt in pain at his body shutting down. The tears i had been so desperate to hold in during this finally spillt from my eyes, and i couldnt sit and watch his lifeless body, or his burial.
The room feels empty without him, his purring (which he did near constantly since he was very young. very content kitty, not like in the pain relieving way although it may have been that way towards the end of his life) was always very loud and i could easily hear it across the room. Its gone. I keep thinking i see him everywhere, i keep expecting him to try and leave the room to go scratch his claws on the carpet outside, im expecting to hear him meow for food, or the trickle of water as he drank from his fountain. or the sound of him at his cat box. Every sign of him is gone and i have a sinus infection so i cant smell whats left. my best friend of 15 years isnt here anymore and its so hard to cope with.
As hard as i try to be a rock for the rest of my family, whos affected as much as i am, i keep finding myself crying or breaking down, especially in the small moments where im alone. I miss him and the way he used to call for me whenever i paced in the hotel hallways with the door propped open a crack (which hed watch me through)
i miss being a 4/5 year old and holding him when he was a kitten and so so tiny.
I just wished i could have done something, but his health was out of my hands, as i had little to no transportation, and a father who refused to take him to the vet. Who loaded all of the responsibility onto someone with no job, money, transport, bank account, or phone service. i did my best to find vet services, and yet he still refused to take care of daimyo. I tried my best to spoil him in these last few months
i knew these months were past the point of no return in a way, i knew he wasnt going to get better even when he did start eating again. i gave him tiny bits of cheese, plenty of treats, catnip, anything to make him happy. he used to reach up and grab the cheese out of my hands while standing on his hind legs, i could get him to do tricks.
I knew when he stopped playing with his favorite toys a few months ago it was close and i still didnt want to think about it
i just wanted him to get better.
i tried my hardest to convince my dad to do something for years so maybe just maybe daimyo could stay for a few months to years longer. i just want him back. the memories are here yes but it feels like a piece of me is missing. im 19 and 15 of the years i had on this earth were with him. what am i to do? I knew it would be hard, but i didnt think it would feel like this. I didnt think it would hurt this bad.
i dont even want to wash the clothes i have that have throwup stains or hair on them, because its some sort of piece of him i can keep as weird and gross as it is. i just dont want to let him go.

▩━━━━━━▩━━━━━━▩━━━━━━▩
Wooyoung threw his head back, eyes shut as his mouth uttered out some rather loud and harsh grunts. Tiny sweat beads formed along his hairline, his forehead creasing slightly as he fully immersed himself on stroking his hard length. His head was filled with images of the previous night with his new housemate, images of her dressed in the most alluring black playboy bunny outfit bodysuit, completed with ears, collar, cuffs and everything else. It was like a dream come true, watching her look extremely pretty as she played around with her pussy in front of him as he filmed her. To continue the bunny theme, she had taken out her pink rabbit vibrator, making sure to tease him, and her viewers later, by licking the longer part of the device, covering it in her spit before inserting it inside her tight little hole. Wooyoung would never get the picture out of his head as he witnessed her overstimulating herself over and over until she had tears brimming down her cheeks.
"Oh fuck! Fuck! I'm gonna cum, I'm gonna-" She gasped violently as tiny spurts of her orgasm squirted out, staining the carpet underneath her. Wooyoung didn't even know that she was capable of squirting like that, but it was the most erotic thing he had ever seen before his eyes.
"Holy shit."
Just remembering that image had him holding himself up on the vanity counter with his free hand, the other furiously pumping his shaft with intensity as his white semen started to pour out of him and spill onto the floor. He panted heavily as he came down from his high, chest heaving up before lowering back down. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he grabbed a couple of tissues and proceeded to clean up the mess he had made, discarding the waste into the basket underneath the vanity. Pulling his pants back up and throwing on his black sweater, he looked at his reflection in the mirror one last time, only needing to fix the part on his growing black hair. Satisfied with how he looked, he came out of the bathroom and picked up his bag that he had laid out on his bed, books and materials ready for the day.
Stepping out of his room, he had to do a step back when a certain feline scared him by her mere presence outside his door, meowing loudly at him, almost like a whine.
"Oh god, don't scare me like that Baby." Smiling he stooped down to try and pet her head, but in her usual fashion, she hissed at him before scurrying off. Wooyoung let out a sigh and shook his head.
"One week after moving here and she still treats me so coldly." He didn't understand what was up with that cat, seemingly warming up to him only to revert back to her aggresive behavior.
As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, his face broke out into a smile as the object of his deepest fantasies and affection was currently standing in front of the sink again, finishing up her task of drying the dishes she had just meticulously washed, wearing nothing but one of his oversized shirts and cotton underwear. Coming up behind her, his hands cupped at her waist as his lips pressed themselves against her cheek.
"Took you a while to come out." She chuckled softly, knowing exactly what he had been doing in the bathroom.
"Morning to you too beautiful." He greeted her, lips pulling away only to dive into the side of her neck.
"Woo, you're going to be late for school." She reminded him yet made no effort to push him off her, enjoying the way his hands caressed her hips too much.
"No I'm not, I still got plenty of time."
Turning her around, he wasted no time in connecting their lips together, parting and closing them over hers in a fervent and needy way. Y/N couldn't suppress a moan when one of his hands dropped in between her thighs and caressed its way up. His palm started to rub her clothed heat, paying close attention to the wet spot starting to form at the bottom of them. Y/N gasped into Wooyoung's mouth when he suddenly slipped his hand inside her panties, fingers immediately working on her clit.
"Wooyoung please.." She whimpered, hands clutching onto his arms. Even through the fabric of his thick sweater, she could still feel the muscles of his strong biceps and that turned her on even more. Her hands grazed across his arms, and Wooyoung chuckled lowly as he knew what she was doing.
"Love my arms babygirl? Yes you do, especially when they're manhandling you down on the bed."
It was a good thing his arms were holding her up because she nearly fell to the floor as her mind recalled all the times she had been pinned down to her bed or to wall by Wooyoung's biceps. It was a borderline fetish now and she was not ashamed of it. Y/N began whining as Wooyoung's fingers continued playing with her little nub.
"Woo..." Her breath hitched, a sign she was about to cum, body growing hotter by the second.....
Until a disgruntled cat broke the two apart, pouncing on Wooyoung from behind as her claws dug into his thighs as they usually tended to do.
"Oh my god Baby would you kindly fuck off?!" Wooyoung exclaimed as he backed away from his lover in pain as he tried to get the Persian cat off his body.
Y/N immediately went over and grabbed her, her master's touch making her calm down and retract her claws enough to pry her off Wooyoung. The poor boy was rubbing on the attacked spot, face grimacing at the dull pain. Looking back, he narrowed his eyes at the cat, who likewise had her pupils turning into slits when she noticed him glaring.
"God dammit, can't even play with my favorite pussy because that demon pussycat wants to be a cockblocker."
As if understanding him, the cat hissed at him once more, body trying to jump out of Y/N's arms and no doubt lunge at the man in front of her.
"Ok ok that's enough. I think you need some catnip to help calm you down." Y/N kissed the top of her pet's head, trying hard to appease her.
"And you should probably start heading to school. Don't waste anymore time."
Wooyoung grabbed his bag again and slumped it over his shoulder.
"Fine, only cause you ask me to."
He came up to try and kiss her goodbye, but when the feline got agitated once more, he decided against it.
"Ok I'll see you later." Wooyoung waved at her.
"Don't forget, we're filming something else later tonight as well." Y/N smirked, petting the top of her cat's head in a comically fashion.
"Oh please, do tell me what my favorite porn star is planning." His teeth tugged at his bottom lip as he stared her up and down.
Holding a finger up to her lips, Y/N giggled.
"It's a surprise and you get to find out when you come back."
▩━━━━━━▩━━━━━━▩━━━━━━▩
With eyes glued to the screen, Wooyoung continued to edit the video in front of him. He had been so immersed in his other endeavors with Y/N that he had nearly abandoned his other pending projects he needed to turn in. Luckily for him, it was rather easy since they weren't that difficult. The hard part was trying to ignore his classmates that were sitting and hovering around the computer next to him, giggling and snorting amongst themselves.
"Honestly, where's that mean, grouchy librarian when you need her to shut some idiots up?" Wooyoung thought to himself, twirling the pencil that was currently held between his index and middle finger.
Judging by the tiny crowd next to him and the weird moans faintly coming out of the speaker, he knew for sure that they were definitely not watching something family friendly.
"Typical." He mused to himself, humming out a little tune in hopes of drowning out their incessant and lewd chatter.
"Ok but guys, I need to introduce you all to this really hot camgirl I recently found. You won't believe it." One of the older guys named Seonghwa lightly pushed his way in the middle, fingers delicately typing away at the keys in front of him. Scrolling down for a while, he found what he was looking for and promptly clicked on it.
"This was her most recent one. Literally uploaded last night."
Although the volume was turned significantly low so that nobody suspected anything, Wooyoung's ears perked up as they distinguished an extremely familiar voice whispering obscene and dirty phrases towards her audience, ones that had been repeated over and over in his head for a while. Slightly pushing his chair away from the table, Wooyoung leaned back and tilted his head as unsuspecting as he possibly could to look over and get a glimpse of what his classmates were looking at. Just as he suspected, on the screen was none other than his beloved roommate in the attire she had worn the previous night. His face blushed slightly and he quickly looked away, afraid of getting caught looking over at their direction.
"Damn she's smoking hot." A classmate his age, Mingi spoke up.
"You know I'm more of a cat person, but fuck. I'd let that bunny hop herself on my lap and rut her sweet little ass on my cock."
Wooyoung's thumb pressed hard against the pencil he was holding, a tiny vein popping out of his neck that showed his displeasure at hearing such things being said about his fuck buddy.
"Keep dreaming Choi San." Wooyoung muttered under his breath in a passive aggressive tone.
"Ok but seriously, who's the bastard that gets to film her videos?" Mingi asked, a hand coming up to push up the glasses that were falling low on his nose bridge.
"Whoever he is, he's seriously one lucky guy." Seonghwa stated with a gloomy look.
"Yeah. Probably gets to jerk himself right in front of her as he's filming no doubt." San huffed, voice clearly laced with envy.
Wooyoung tried but failed in keeping a straight face, a smug grin appearing on his lips as he continued his task at hand.
"No but I get her to help me out after each session." He seriously wanted to say that out loud, but he contented himself with that knowledge that was a secret between him, Y/N and her cute yet menacing cat.
"Fuck it, I'm subscribing to her channel. Do you know when her next video will be up?" San whipped out his phone, tapping away at the keyboard as he looked up Y/N's camgirl profile on the website.
"I don't know but she's been a lot more active recently, posting a lot more content than before." Seonghwa answered.
"Great, cause I can't wait for her next project."
Wooyoung laughed inside himself when he heard San say that
"Trust me, neither can I...."
▩━━━━━━▩━━━━━━▩━━━━━━▩
With the camera held in his hands and the all too familiar throbbing inside his pants, Wooyoung kept his gaze locked on Y/N as she was spread across her bed. If he thought she looked stunning the night before, it was nothing compared to what she had on at the moment. Her body was exceptional beautiful in the glittering body chain lingerie consisting of a silver rhinestone bra that had a connecting waist belt with metallic tassels dangling from the ends. To top it all off, not only was her makeup more extravagant than the ordinary, but she had even gone as far as applying sparkling highlighter on some parts of her body like her shoulders, collarbone and the top of her breasts. She truly looked like an ethereal queen, one that many people would love to get a glimpse of up close and personal.
Y/N was a mess of stuttering gasps and whiny moans as she continued bouncing herself on the 8" dildo in between her thighs. She often open her eyes and look at the camera with a hazy look while adding a few comments that were bound to rile her viewers even further.
"I'm so close. I'm gonna cum...." She exhaled deeply, teeth biting harshly down at her lip.
"Are you gonna cum with me?"
Wooyoung felt like he very well could cum untouched just by the sheer sight of her. The dildo was lodged so deep inside of her, one could see it bulge out of her lower abdomen. She herself knew it as well as her hand brushed along the outline of it.
"Your cock feels so good inside me, I don't think I can hold off any longer."
With hands firmly pressed on the mattress to hold her up, she fucked herself so roughly down onto the sex toy, her cries becoming more loud and staggered.
"Oh fuck! Cum with me! Please cum inside this pussy of mine." She pleaded.
She collapsed on the bed after reaching an intense high, her mouth agape as she took in deep breaths to calm her heated body. Reaching down, she pulled out the dildo, a thin clear line of arousal coming out as well. Holding it up, she waved it in front of the camera, knowing fully well Wooyoung had zoomed in close to her face.
"Until next time my darlings." She giggled and gave an expert wink at the lenses in front of her.
"And cut."
As soon as he said those words, Y/N sat up and took hold of Wooyoung's arm rather sharply, pulling him so he could follow her into her bathroom.
"Whoah, still got energy left after that show princess?" He snorted when she closed the door behind them.
Huffing softly, she took the camera out of his hands and carefully placed it on the vanity counter.
"I'm sticky, sweaty and in need of a shower." Within giving any other explanation, she began unzipping Wooyoung's pants and sliding then down his legs.
"And I'm here because....?" Although he knew very well why she dragged him with her, he still loved feigning like he didn't know what she was up to.
"Because showers are a lot more fun when you have company." Looking up at him, she smiled and tapped on the bottom of his shirt, a signal for him to remove it, which he of course did.
After a pile of clothes was accumulated neatly and tossed in a corner, the two individuals stepped inside the glass surrounded shower. Turning it on to a cool temperature, both of them emitted soft sighs at the feeling of the refreshing water pouring down their bodies. Taking hold of her pink and soft sponge, Wooyoung took it upon himself to clean her body of the sparkling residue left from the makeup. Making sure to create as much lather as possible, he began to gently swipe the sponge across her body with slow and gentle movements, being careful with her skin lest he accidentally scrubbed too hard. Y/N would never admit it out loud, but she loved having intimate moments like this with him. Taking showers together just because, without needing anything to happen between them. Cooking together, which she ended up finding out Wooyoung was an above average cook, which added to his fatal charms that had her melting for him. Or just cuddling together on the couch as a movie played, more often than not ending with one of them on the floor after they decided to start play wrestling amongst themselves, both of them in fits of giggles afterwards.
After making sure to cover her body with the floral scented soap, Wooyoung stepped back and moved her so the majority of the shower head was aimed at her, rinsing off the foam around her body. Watching it trail off her figure and down the drain, he let out a satisfied smile at his work.
"All better?"
Instead of answering, Y/N came up to him and rested her head on his chest, eyes closing as her hands took hold of his arms to wrap them around her. Getting the hint, Wooyoung held her body against his, fingers lightly running themselves down her back in soothing strokes. Reaching up, her hands came up to rest against the muscles on his upper arms, fingers tapping against his skin every now and then. Wooyoung couldn't help but laugh softly when he felt her grip tighten around them.
"What exactly is it about my arms that makes you horny over them?" He questioned her.
Frowning slightly, Y/N pulled away to look at him.
"I do not get horny over your arms, excuse me." She defended herself against what she considered to be slanderous talk.
Quirking an eyebrow up, Wooyoung let out a scoff.
"Oh really? Then tell me everytime I wear a sleeveless shirt, you're practically drooling and keep your eyes off them?"
It was a good thing there was water splashing all over them or else Y/N wouldn't have been able to camouflage the subtle blush that appeared on her cheeks.
"I do not." She interjected.
Shaking his head in a teasing fashion, Wooyoung leaned in and pecked her lips.
"Beg your pardon miss, but I've seen the way you eye them, especially during my workouts."
Making sure to flex his muscles, Wooyoung gripped her tighter against his body, pressing her unbelievably close as his arms encapsulated most of her body, leaving her slightly out of breath from the tight squeeze he gave her.
"Is it cause you like having me smother you in an embrace with them?"
Wanting to play around with her even more, he suddenly pressed her back against the tile wall, arms coming down to place themselves at the back of her thighs.
"Or cause you like it when I man handle you like this?"
Y/N groaned when she felt Wooyoung's mouth start pressing kisses along her jaw and neck, tilting it back so he could have more space to work with. He chuckled when he felt her breath hitch.
"You're so easy to rile up beautiful." He pointed out in a cocky manner.
Not wanting to let him get away with his behavior, Y/N slid a hand down his chest before taking hold of his dick, making it spring back to life and get hard once more after forgetting how aroused it was when the cold water splashed onto it. She made sure to pump it vigorously, causing Wooyoung to pull back and moan loudly at her ministrations.
"I could say the same about you handsome. Just one brush of my hand against your thighs and your little friend comes up to greet me."
Closing her lips over his, any sound about to escape was muffled by her tongue which slid its way inside his mouth, massaging itself against his own wet muscle. As one hand continued stroking along his shaft, her other hand came down to cup underneath and fondle his balls. That action further fed his aching need to bury himself inside her wetness.
"Getting a little hot my love? Bothered? I can feel your cock throbbing in my hand." Knowing exactly what she was doing, she squeezed his balls rather hard as her thumb circled around his tip. That and the fact she bit down at Wooyoung's bottom lip was enough to make him lose control of his senses. He could no longer hold back after hours of having her tease him.
Prying her hands off him, he placed one hand on the back of her thigh and wrapped her leg up around his waist, allowing him to slide his length rather easily past her folds to rest inside her heat. Pressing her back against the wall once more, Wooyoung dropped his other hand down to her other thigh.
"Hold onto my arms." He whispered against her ear, a command she didn't need to be told twice as her hands placed themselves on his biceps. Hoisting her other leg around his waist, Wooyoung didn't wait any longer and immediately began slamming his hips into her. Having been sexually frustrated since their interruption that morning, both of them basked in the enjoyment of having their lower bodies connect again.
"Oh fuck- you're still tight even after fucking yourself wide open with that dildo?"
Y/N's hands clung tighter to his arms, nails nearly digging into his skin. Her wails were only half heard due to the pounding of Wooyoung's cock that had her back hitting against the wall behind her, cutting off her sounds midway. The way he gripped at her thighs was so strong that she had no doubt about having purple bruises on those spots for days to come, but she didn't care. Her mind was too focused on the overwhelming feeling of his cock inside her, cries of pleasure echoing through the room.
"You like me fucking you like this baby? Cock deep inside this little pussy of yours?" He taunted her as his timed thrusts continued to impale her tight core, slick and warm walls tightening around his hard shaft.
"Yes! Fuck me just like you are doing!" She exclaimed, eyes looking down to watch as his cock drove out of her only to ram itself back in. At this point she was becoming light headed, feeling intoxicated by the tension building in her body, ready to snap at any moment.
"Fuck! You're gonna make me cum!" She whimpered as she clawed into his arm muscles, making Wooyoung hiss.
"Then fucking cum like the slut you are." He growled against her ear.
With a piercing shriek, her walls tightened unbearably against his length, pulsating as she came hard all over him. Even during the peak of her climax, Wooyoung maintained his pace and harsh pounding, not giving her an ounce of pity to diminish the euphoric sensation overtaking her. Pulling out of her and safely bringing her back down, Wooyoung tilted her chin up so she could look into his lust filled face.
"If you think we're done, you're wrong baby. I'm not quite done with you yet."
Swinging her body to the left, Wooyoung pressed her body up against the clear glass window that covered the shower. Taking hold of her hips, Wooyoung's cock lodged itself inside her warm walls once more, the sound of smacking skin bouncing against the walls. Y/N placed her palms against the clear glass to keep her steady as his hungry cock fucked her in a furious rhythm. She could barely keep her eyes open as she was overly sensitive from not only her previous orgasm but from having played with herself rather intensely during their filming session.
"Fuck- your cock feels amazing." She moaned out in a low and airy tone.
"Yeah? Is it better than all those toys you fuck yourself with?" Wooyoung cooed against her ear.
"God yes! Way better. Wooyoung you fuck me so good." She responded, her wailing becoming higher in pitch as another build up began to rise up in her.
"So good that you'll cum for me a second time? Will you?" Y/N knew that wasn't a request, it was an order, an order that her body couldn't resist fulfilling, especially when the angle his hips hit against her ass had the head of his cock brushing against her g-spot continuously.
"Cum on me one more time beautiful. Let me feel you again."
Falling under the spell of his command, Y/N let out sputters of his name as her legs trembled under her, threatening to give out on holding her up had Wooyoung not had his hands keeping her upright as he kept pushing his cock into her from behind. It wasn't long before he himself felt himself being tipped over the edge.
"Shit! Oh shit!"
With a few more pops of his hips, he was done, spurt after spurt of cum filling her pussy up until it started running down her legs, getting swallowed up and washed away along with the rest of the water pouring out from above them. They both stayed still for a couple seconds, each one trying to catch their breath and steady their heartbeats. Resting his forehead atop of her shoulder, Wooyoung's raspy breaths were the only things she could hear.
"Fuck Y/N....." She let out an involuntary smile when he whispered that, his labored breathing telling her he enjoyed that quite a lot.
Withdrawing himself from between her legs, Wooyoung's dick softening after finally being able to find release in Y/N's body. Making sure to do a final rinse to clean up any leftover cum, Wooyoung turned off the water and carefully guided Y/N out the shower, knowing fully well her thighs were burning after all that.
"Easy there beautiful, don't worry I got you." He smiled ever so sweetly at her as he picked up a towel and draped it over her shoulders. Y/N let out a groan as she reclined back against the counter, exhausted from their intense love session.
"Wooyoung, could you please get me my pajamas and help me dress?" Her bottom lip poked out, voice slightly frigging after having her vocal chords nearly ripped out from all the screaming his cock had her doing.
"Of course beautiful. I'll be right back."
Booping his nose against hers, Wooyoung tied a towel around his waist before scurrying out of the bathroom in search of something comfortable for Y/N to wear. Through pained hisses, Y/N managed to turn her body so she was facing the mirror in front of her. Bending down, her face gave out a tired smile towards the camera that she had placed strategically on the counter beforehand, the tiny red light indicating it had been recording everything that happened in the shower, unbeknownst to her partner who was still in her drawers looking for her clothes. Reaching over, she stopped the film and made sure to save the file, a sly smirk on her face as her mind was already coming up with the title of her next project.
"Fucking my camera boy in the shower without him knowing...."

BOYS WITH AN S/O WHO HAS A MOODY CAT
pairings ❤︎ kirishima eijiro x reader, bakugo katsuki x reader, todoroki shoto x reader
content warnings ❤︎ cursing, slight angst if you squint during kirishima's
summery ❤︎ how the boys react to your cat having a less than loving response to them
a/n ❤︎ ik it was like. just before i left that i said i would start updating more frequently but that was before i got into a car crash and lost all motivation to do anything other then rewatch criminal minds so. laugh out loud ill get better
this is time skip au so you have your own apartment and everything!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
when you told him your cat didn't like most -if not all- people he just shrugged it off, telling you he wasn't a huge cat person so he didn't mind
he swore he was telling the truth- it was just that he always woke up earlier then you when he slept over, and your cat was always resting on your stomach, waiting for you to wake up so giving her a few scratches wouldn't change anything
except the cat started waiting for him to wake up first, where he'd give her pets until you woke up, then both of them would go to demand your attention
it became your new routine, to the point where whenever katsuki didn't sleep over, your cat would wake you up earlier then usual just so she could get her morning pets at her new usual time
the next morning when you two were getting your usual cup of coffee, you teased him by mentioning she missed him
he only told you to shut up but swore you caught a glimpse of a smile when he took a sip of his drink
when you invited all of your old classmates over for a drink or two, your cat got startled by midoriya trying to pet her and ran towards katsuki
he continues to deny the fact that he and your cat have a relationship
Tumblr media
he wanted your cat to like him, truthfully he wanted any cat or animal to like him, but if your cat liked him, he felt like that meant he was worthy of being your boyfriend
it bruised his ego a bit when he went to pet the cat cat was ignored
you told him beforehand your cat didn't like most people but he thought it was going to be a magical moment where your cat who didn't like people, liked him and it proved to you that kiri was the right guy
you felt bad but you couldn't help but laugh at the way your boyfriend 'subtly' chased around the cat
you had to drag him onto the couch, giving him a small kiss to momentarily throw him off
"let him come to you"
eijiro finally settled into you and sure enough, the cat approached him
you had to stop him from once again jumping for the cat
you got him to calm down and slowly pet your cat, who at first ran away
over time this became a routine and after each milestone (the cat not running away, the cat purring, going onto his lap, etc..) all got the cat a huge party, including gifts and a catnip cake
you're pretty sure that's partly the reason why your cat warmed up to eijiro so quickly but you weren't going to be the one to tell him that
Tumblr media
he was more hurt then he let on, pretending he was fine with it but on the inside, he was analyzing every little move the cat did, trying to predict how to make it like him
the staring was probably apart of the reason the cat stayed away from him tbh
eventually he felt like he gathered enough information to properly engage the cat
your cat was obsessed with food, purring the instant you were bring out his food and whenever you ate something yourself, the cats head was always shoving his way into your space to try to taste the delicious human foods air
he decides that telling you to take a few extra minutes to nap, that he'd feed the cat instead, was for your benefit
not his and cats relationship. of course.
he bribes your cat with food, toys, anything he thinks your cat will like he buys
and everytime he walks into your house, before he even gives you a kiss, he leans down to let the cat sniff him
you swear he likes the cat better then you
he's treating the cat just like how he treats any human he wants to befriend so honestly it isn't as weird as you think it is, you're just unaware he did the same for you
he thinks hes being sneaky, but you always wake up to him 'pspspsps'-ing the cat, trying to coax him from your side of the bed onto his
the next time shoto leaned down to say hello to your cat, you told him to scratch its chin
"why would i do that?"
"have you ever met a cat before this?"
"no."
oh.
none the less, shoto tried it and almost instantly the cat was shoving against his leg, purring up a storm
you swore tears were shed that day when you eventually dragged your boyfriend to the couch to cuddle with you and not your cat
you think the cat knows this too, because sometimes when shoto is completely occupied with your cat, it'll stare at you with this smug look in its eyes
homewrecker.

The Cat of Shie Hassaikai
Tumblr media
As a kid, Kai found you as a kitten. You were a filthy, tiny, hungry, little thing...just like him.
You were smart too, for a kitten.
Unusual as well. You picked up thorough cleaning habits while living in abandoned buildings with Kai.
You stayed close to Kai, even when the “Old Man who smells good” adopted him. And essentially you.
You liked the Old Man, or Pops as Kai called him. He smelled like tea and Taiyaki, and he always gave you chicken flavor treats!
There was a tall lady with sliver hair around, Old Man’s scent was on her. She must’ve been his kitten, but she wasn’t nice to you or Kai.
-- Living Habits and Catnip Man --
Kai would let you sleep on the bed with him, such a comfy place. Warm, squishy pillows, and you got to stay close to Kai.
He tried getting you to sleep on a bed of your own, but it wasn't the same.
A tiny version of the big version, the big version that Kai slept on. You didn't spend one night in that tiny thing, and Kai didn't mind.
You love curling up in Kai’s shirts, they smelled like cinnamon.
You once took a nap in this bag Kai always had with him. You woke up in a weird place full a tiny kittens like Kai, and some tall man with a white scarf that smelled like catnip.
Kai kept telling you to “leave Mr. Aizawa alone.” Maybe he wanted to sniff the catnip smelling man too?
-- Likes --
You enjoy listening to jazz in the morning, and you make a complaint if anyone changes the music.
Kai learned what your favorite foods are, and makes them before cooking his own meals.
You love, love, LOVE belly rubs and head scratches. Kai gives the best! He always knows the right spots.
Since your boy’s got his jacket, his hood is so comfy and warm. And it smells just like Kai.
His lap is very comfy too, and his shoulders. And his head, such fluffy cinnamon smelling hair!
Kai has made it clear that no harm is to come to you, if anyone so much as plucks your fur then there’ll be blood. It makes you feel like a queen as you walk around the base, because you are. Queen Squeaks! You been trying to tell Kai your name is Y/n, and not Squeaks; but he still hasn't caught on yet, still a learning process.
-- Nicknames --
Pops: Pops, Old Man, Taiyaki Man, Old Cat
Chronostasis: Grey Kitten, Hari
Kai: My boy, Kai
Eri: Kitten, baby kitten, little bean
Eight Bullets: My subjects

Girl, I’m Your Catnip (m) | BBH
Tumblr media
Pairing: wolf!Baekhyun x caracal!Reader
Hybrid AU, slice of life, some fluff, PWP, smut
Warnings: altered mental state (in a way?), Baek snapped, rough sex, unprotected sex, overstimulation, knotting, cross-breeding?
Word Count: ~3.4k
Summary: You’d been pretty stressed at work lately, so your boyfriend decided to bring something special to help you unwind.
© Please do not copy/ post on other platforms without permission.
Author’s note: I’m back with... Catnip. Seriously. I’m not even a cat person 😅 This was something quick and out of the blue. But I really enjoy hybrid aus, and this is definitely not the first or the last one I’ve written… It’s quite different from my other stories so far (pls read the warnings). Expect minimal plot (minimal… for me) and lots of feral sex unconventional stress relief lmao P.S. Thanks to @baekshoney​ for being quick at reading through when I come at her with these, even when they’re out of her comfort zone <3
Tumblr media
It’d been weeks since you came home early enough to really hang out with Baekhyun. The closing phase of your project lasted longer than anticipated, and it was taking a great toll on you, both physically and mentally. Working long hours was one thing, but the atmosphere was not the greatest either. A couple cutthroat colleagues kept compromising the team’s integrity, creating additional stress for the hardworking and meticulous people like you. There was literally no time to deal with the internal drama while you had a deadline approaching fast.
Luckily enough, your significant other was most understanding during this time. Running you a bubble bath to soak in for twenty minutes after especially tough days, feeding you delicious late-night dinners… Or holding you in a tight lock of his arms when you broke down right at the threshold from exhaustion and nerves. He went as far as doing all the chores and grocery shopping by himself, which left you feeling rather guilty for not being able to reciprocate his care. What kind of shitty girlfriend were you? The constant nagging of the inner voice in the back of your head was making the anxiety grow.
Although Baekhyun assured you time and time again that it was fine, you kept insisting that you were going to make it up to him. Which nearly made you cry on the spot. Your usual way of giving back was making him a nice dinner, organizing a cozy movie night with his favorite snacks, or even bringing your favorite almond oil to give him a relaxing massage. All of those scenarios inevitably ended with the two of you tangled up in bed till indecent hours of the morning, having a whole lot of steamy sex. These days, however, you were unable to recuperate and loosen up enough to do any of it. You’d not been intimate with your partner for at least three weeks, and while he was a complete sweetheart (he usually was) about it, that made you feel even more burdensome to him.
So much so, that you promised your boyfriend to get drunk the first night following submission of the presentation, to take the edge off, and simply allow him to do whatever he wanted with you. Baekhyun insisted that he didn’t have much use of you while shitfaced, and would rather have you well-rested and enjoying the process. Still, you were set on having no more delays, so you informed him that you’d finally be free from the project this Friday, and he should be pouring champagne for you as you walk through the door. Taking his previous comments into consideration, you ruled out the hard liquor and decided to only get heavily tipsy. Being horribly drunk did not seem like an arousing option you should be presenting your overly patient and caring boyfriend with.
Come Friday, as you finally submitted your presentation, you texted Baekhyun at least two hours in advance that you were definitely on track to spend the evening with him. Fortunately for you, he was going to come home a bit late, so you even had a head start to do all of the necessary preparations. That’s to say, you were stuck in the bathroom for over an hour and a half. You were ecstatic to finally have enough time to groom properly – your caracal nature always called for it. Pleased with how smooth and refreshed your skin looked after the long-awaited pampering, you exited the bathroom to go pick your poison for tonight.
You were so ready to get your drinks and relinquish all control to Baekhyun that you got startled when you saw him already heading towards you.
‘Oh! I didn’t hear you come in,’ you chirped.
‘Are you already drunk?’ He sniffed the air, shaking his head. ‘I guess not. You smell good,’ he smiled as you reached him and wrapped your arms around his neck with all the feline grace you had in you.
‘I really missed you,’ you purred as his warm hand settled on the small of your back comfortably.
His scent made you want to rub your face on him, to get more of it on you. How terribly you must’ve missed him! In the beginning, it took you a bit to get used to the notorious ‘smell of a dog’ inevitably coming off of him. But you’d strangely grown to like it a lot, despite being the very whimsical wild cat hybrid that you were. Now, however, you’d stayed away for a while, and the scent lingering on his skin seemed so pleasant that you wanted to cover your entire body in it. But then again, it’d been so long that the desire to pounce him mixed with the fear of not being able to do well. What if you took longer to get ready now? Or to come? What if you couldn’t make him come? Surely you needed to take good care of him to repay all the weeks he’d been an angel for your sake.
‘I missed having you all to myself too, honey,’ he smiled crookedly, leaning in to give you a kiss. ‘You seem a bit tense,’ he noted when you swerved your short tail with slight agitation. ‘If it’s about sex, I told you we don’t have t-’
‘I want to!’ You quickly interrupted. ‘I don’t want to wait anymore, Baekhyunie. Just a little help to relax my stressed mind and body is all I need. Then we’ll get to it.’
Baekhyun sighed, shaking his head, allowing you to pull him back into your bedroom.
‘Doesn’t your head always hurt after you drink?’
‘It’s worth it,’ you replied firmly and turned to him. ‘Let’s just treat it as a celebration. I’ll bring the bottle here.’
He grabbed your wrist swiftly, before you took another step towards the door.
‘I-’ he looked away, tail stilling as he was considering something. ‘I have another idea, actually. You trust me, right?’
Giving him a curious look, you nodded. Of course, you trusted him; more than anyone in the world, more than yourself at times. Although he was a ‘big bad wolf’ (still, only bad enough to eat the last slice of his absolute favorite Hawaiian pizza while you weren’t looking), and your relationship wasn’t very ‘likely’… He’d managed to charm you, and you’d been together for a long time since. And your wolf’s embrace made you feel so tiny and secure, that you couldn’t imagine being with anyone else at this point, all initial reservations evaporated.
‘We can try something else. Something that shouldn’t be as toxic as drinking, but also have you release the tension and relax. I got it on my way here,’ he began, making you even more interested in what it was.
Taking notice of your stare, he continued.
‘Um- I just need to be sure that you want this. Your unbiased decision. Like I said, we don’t have to f-’
‘Don’t feel bad about it, making it up to you will make me happy,’ you raised an open palm in front of his chest when he tried to protest. ‘If it can help me make you feel good, whatever it is, I trust you. I missed being… close to you.’
He chewed on his lip, and nodded.
‘Alright. I’ll use the bathroom for a sec, and you can get on the bed, okay?’
Somewhat surprised that he didn’t tell you what exactly he was planning, you complied, lying down on your belly to wait for him. It took him a few unbearably long minutes, during which you stared the door down, tail swinging impatiently. He made minimal sound after the water was turned off, so you had no idea what was happening in there.
‘Babe, need some help in there?’ You offered and sat up just as the door flew open.
He emerged from the bathroom shirtless, sporting nothing but sweatpants. His skin was shimmering slightly, and you licked your lips at the sight of his lean torso. All of the events and worries of the past few weeks were instantly forgotten.
‘Took you long enough,’ you mumbled grumpily. ‘What were you doing in there?’
He tilted his head to the side, a textbook sign of puppy confusion.
‘Do you… notice anything?’
You pouted, unsure as to what you were supposed to notice. He looked the same. A bit freshened up and half-undressed, but still the same.
‘Ah- maybe it doesn’t work on you,’ he scratched the back of his head sheepishly, halting an arm’s length away. ‘My bad.’
‘What doesn’t wo-’ as he turned around to supposedly walk back to the bathroom, it hit you.
Oh, it hit you, indeed.
Before you could think, you gripped his wrist to prevent him from moving away.
‘W-what- is-’ you stuttered, pulse suddenly escalating.
Baekhyun gulped at the sight of your dilated, almost shaking pupils. You tugged him closer after you moved up to the edge of the bed. The scent that penetrated your nostrils almost took you out.
‘What is that?’ You finally managed, swallowing the saliva that was rapidly collecting in your mouth.
Jerking him forward, you nuzzled your face into the crook of his neck.
‘Do you like it?’
You didn’t answer, too busy running your tongue over his collarbone with a long groan. Without even noticing the death grip you had on him, you dragged him onto the bed as you swallowed his scent and tasted his delectable skin, going increasingly mad from the sweetness.
‘What is this, Baekhyun,’ you sobbed, covering his chest in frenzied kisses, while the burning arousal made your insides constrict. ‘Oh god- I want all of you. On me. And- in me. Oh fuck,’ you were almost feverish as you pushed him in the chest to get him to lie back, and ripped his sweatpants off without a second thought.
‘Y/N, slow down,’ your boyfriend warned, and you didn’t care.
You wanted that taste in your mouth again, the one that was all Baekhyun, but sweeter, more intense. Nibbling on the gentle skin under his belly button, you quickly found your way down to his balls. Whimpering at the addicting taste, you took one in your mouth, playing with it diligently, sucking and licking, while your boyfriend stirred underneath and reached for your hair to get it out of the way. Your tongue on his most sensitive spots quickly made him harden, and you waited no more than necessary to stuff his entire cock in your mouth.
At that, you both moaned.
Frantically bobbing your head, you sucked harshly on it, making him thicken further. You shoved it in your mouth almost aggressively, choking on him, chasing the feeling that lingered in your throat after your nose met his smooth skin. He prepared too.
Swallowing around him, you groaned as you kept moving your head, spit mixing with precum and collecting at the corners of your mouth.
‘Fuck, kitten- you’d be mute tomorrow if you keep at it,’ Baekhyun gritted, pulling you off of his dick by the hair.
You wailed, like a cat being dragged by its tail, and clawed at his thigh for interrupting. His pained grunt went unnoticed since you immediately moved on to exploring the taut skin of his stomach all the way up to his pecs. Rubbing your face onto it, tonguing his abs and his nipples, you shuddered as the dreamy haze of desire surrounded you like mist.
It would’ve definitely been scary had Baekhyun not prepared in advance. Still, seeing you this out of your mind for him was nothing like he expected.
‘Please fuck me,’ you muttered into his sternum after ripping the last of your clothes off. ‘Scent me, come inside me, knot me. Make me raw. I don’t care. I want you,’ you sobbed, gnawing on his shoulder impatiently as his arms pulled you closer.
‘Don’t fret, you know I’m gonna take good care of you, baby,’ you jolted as his fingers slid between your wet lips to check.
Your arousal was already dripping out, so Baekhyun mercifully spared you any additional foreplay, simply sinking you down on his cock.
‘Agh!’ Your inner walls instantly contracted around him. ‘Yes, yes,’ you mouthed into his neck, licking at it as he bottomed out again and again.
Unable to hold back, you responded to his movement by slamming your pelvis down onto his repeatedly, with enough force to hurt, so he had to brace you by the hips to prevent you from injuring yourself. The smell of your overwhelming arousal made his mind blurry too, so he kept watching you with heavy-lidded eyes while you bounced on him like your life depended on it.
Scratching at his skin, you kept whining for your boyfriend to get closer, to scent you. He finally gave in, biting down on your neck gently to distract you and then flipping you onto your back promptly. Ignoring the feral hiss that escaped your mouth, he leaned forward to grant you full skin to skin contact while his hips continued jerking in and out of you.
Your mind went blank from the building pleasure. It was filling your entire being with desperate anticipation, the taste, the smell, all of the sensory feedback was elevated. Only your vision seemed impaired since you couldn’t blink away the thickening red fog of lust.
The divine smell was all over your skin now, and Baekhyun’s pelvis was almost glued to yours, grazing over your clit with every sway of his hips. He growled at how slick it felt between your bodies, and how deliciously lewd the sounds of him fucking you were. He knew the essential oil he used didn’t have much effect on him, only felines could fall under its spell. But he hadn’t been intimate with you for a long while now, and, frankly, he’d never seen you like this before. You were absolutely wild underneath him, clawing at his back like an angry cat, moaning and whining so loudly, it made the hairs on the back of his neck stand straight. He’d never heard you sound like this, so irrepressible and untamed, and it was incredibly sexy. In a way, it triggered his more primal side to take control.
Suddenly feeling the power he had over you, he angled his hips and rammed into you, skin slapping your puffy lips repeatedly as you cried out in despair.
‘I’m not gonna stop,’ he leaned in and growled almost animalistically into your ear. ‘Before I ruin your little hole. You’ve been on the edge there for a while, haven’t you, kitten?’
Reveling in the mewl you responded with, he slid two fingers into your mouth and kept talking.
‘All helpless and needy underneath me. Entirely at my mercy,’ he pressed down on your tongue, making your throat relax to accommodate. ‘Do you enjoy being destroyed?’
Your eyes rolled into the back of your head as your orgasm hit. A muffled scream drowned out by his palm almost made his own release hit him, but Baekhyun had other plans.
Pulling out for a few seconds, he wiped away the sweat that was dripping from his forehead to his eyes, and rolled your limp body over. Allowing you a few seconds to cool down, he gripped his rock-hard flesh at the base and landed a sharp slap onto your supple ass cheek.
‘Baek,’ you squealed, registering the shuffling behind. ‘Wait- no,’ protesting weakly, as he got on top of you again. You took notice of the way his dick was nestled snugly between your bodies and guessed his intention.
‘You didn’t think we were done, did you, baby?’ He gave your ear a long lick, causing you to shiver.
‘B- Baekhyunie,’ you puled pathetically, still too overwhelmed. ‘I can’t-’
The sentence was drowned out by his growl. Your state pushed him too far to just stop now.
‘You’ll comply and come again, all while I load you up, got it?’ He slipped back inside, testing your body’s response.
As expected, you were still soaked from your previous activities, so he ignored the instant jolt of your body. It wasn’t something you did often, overstimulation, but your partner knew he could make you come like this if he hurried up, so that was exactly his plan.
‘No,’ you whined capriciously, your cat instincts making you protest against the intrusion while too sensitive. Your tail patted against Baekhyun’s side relentlessly, although most of it was trapped between you.
‘I can make you,’ he rolled his hips, knowing that in a few minutes you would beg him to make you come again, even though it seemed more like torture now.
‘Ah it hurts!’ You cried out, latching onto his thigh, claws out.
‘Oh, so you’re gonna be like that?’ He growled lower, making you hiss in a natural response and draw blood with your sharp nails.
He licked a sensitive spot between your shoulder blades as a warning.
‘Don’t make me do this,’ he snarled, but you kept trying to shove him off of you. ‘Okay, you fucking got it.’
Baekhyun snapped, locking his sharp teeth on your withers – the magical spot on your spine, just below the neck; your feline heritage. Instantly, your fingers grew weak and you whined feebly as his hips moved again. He picked up his pace gradually, readjusting your thighs to have more of a room to increase amplitude. You trembled helplessly, pinned down his weight and wailing into the pillow as his determined ministrations had the anticipation build once again. With the discomfort you initially had subsiding, you’d given up on the attempts to escape your lover.
Feeling the tight pulsation around his flesh, Baekhyun released your skin and started licking over the teeth marks right away.
‘That’s more like it,’ he hummed in your ear as you whined pathetically, feeling your eyes water from the intensity of the impending release. ‘I’m going to fill you up. Yes- come like this,’ he urged, intertwining his fingers with yours, and you could not disobey.
‘Baek-’ you squealed, your entire body shuddering underneath him as your muscles contracted once again from a mind-blowing wave of pleasure.
He delivered a few more quick, shallow thrusts before his hips stuttered and he moaned lowly as thick warmth flooded your insides.
You felt full and content, the fogginess of your mind clearing up slowly. Belatedly you realized that he actually knotted you – something he didn’t do often since you weren’t the same species (or trying for a baby at this point). But it felt good, and your walls were still pulsating around him, electricity jolting through you with every gentle lick of Baekhyun’s tongue over the spot where his teeth had left a reddish mark.
‘Mhm,’ you hummed, and Baekhyun shifted his weight to his elbows.
‘Sorry, I got a bit carried away,’ he admitted, planting soft kisses along your spine.
‘It was great,’ you yawned, noting casually. ‘You knotted me.’
‘Yeah, it will deflate soon,’ he rubbed his face between your shoulder blades affectionately, and you squirmed. ‘Does anything hurt? How are you feeling?’
‘Um- no, nothing hurts. At least not yet,’ you chucked, assuming that the soreness would come tomorrow. ‘I’m just exhausted. And still a bit… dazed?’
‘Yeah, I think it’s all evaporated from my skin. Or licked off,’ he snickered. ‘Still smell the remnants of it in the air, but to me it’s not as prominent as your arousal.’
‘What was it, actually?’
‘You didn’t get it?’ Baekhyun laughed, finally slipping out and rolling off to the side, allowing you to glance at him. ‘Catnip. I got a little roll-on thingy with the essential oil. Didn’t realize it’s that strong though.’
‘Are you serious?’ You smacked him on the top of the head in a very feline way. ‘That thing is like a drug for cats!’
‘It’s safe. You were under supervision, and it has no lasting effects. And it’s not addictive,’ he clarified. ‘I consulted.’
‘Always prepared, aren’t you?’ Smiling, you shoved him in the chest. ‘I can’t believe you drugged me with catnip to fuck me. Tsk, what a jerk you are,’ you purred, scolding him.
‘Don’t act like we’re not doing this again soon,’ Baekhyun smirked, planting a quick kiss to the tip of your nose.
‘I’m so going to get you for this, Baek. I will!’ You threatened, allowing him to sneakily drag his tongue over your lower lip in a playful apology lick before you pushed him away to yawn again.
‘I’ll be waiting,’ he chuckled and moved closer again to stroke your back tenderly. ‘Just have some rest first, kitten.’

I have a headcanon that Billy doesn"t really know how to apologize like most people do. To him, the words are kind of empty so he just does things for people instead. Things like replacing all of the dishes with better quality ones for the Byers, making the girliest clothes Max hates disappear and replaced with things she likes, a new slingshot showing up in Lucas's locker, breaking into a car to fix it. Steve is weirdly charmed by it.
These may both be you? But here’s a combo since they’re p much the same idea
anonymous asked: Billy has forgotten how to actually connect with people so he shows affection through acts of chaotic good, like planting catnip all over the yard of the lady who allergic for yellomg at Max or breaking into a car so he can fix the engine. Steve figures out Billy is the one doing all these oddly kind things but he is still kind of intimidated by the blonde so instead of thanking him out right he just leaves things like cigarettes and baked good for him in his car. Have fun with that one!
This got pretty long so I put some of it under the cut.
-
Billy didn’t believe in the words I’m sorry.
They just didn’t make sense  to him. He had never heard the words when someone actually meant them, and fuck knows he’s never actually meant those words before.
But that does not mean there aren’t things in his life he regrets.
For example: beating the shit outta Steve Harrington.
He felt like absolute fucking garbage about it. 
Harrington hadn’t deserved that shit. Billy was just runnin’ hot that night, and Harrington had been unlucky enough to have bad timing.
But he didn’t know how to fix it.
So he started leaving snacks in Steve’s locker.
He noticed how he would always be giving his friends the food off his fucking plate, so he would shove granola bars, candies, even made him a sandwich one day.
He watched as Steve would eat whatever it was Billy had left for him, just fuckin’ chowed down without question.
He would look into classes, find out where Steve sat and leave little treats on his desk.
“Mr. Harrington, I think you may have a secret admirer.” Steve flushed a little at the cupcake, and shoved it into his mouth in two bites at the beginning of history class, but he wasn’t gonna look a gift horse in the mouth, so to speak, and figured whenever this chick came forward, he would thank her for being so thoughtful, and let her down gently.
-
After leaving Harrington alone with all his snacks, Billy set his sights on his other regret.
He had Max hadn’t always fought and bickered. True, Billy wasn’t the warmest, when they first met, but once he got his car they would drive around together a lot. He’d take her to the arcade and the boardwalk. They both didn’t like being home too much.
So when Billy’s informed he’ll be watching Max for the weekend while Neil takes Susan to the city, he forms a little plan.
There’s one Chinese restaurant in Hawkins. It’s totally not authentic, not like the dim sum they used to get wandering around San Fransisco, but they had steamed pork buns and Billy picked up eight.
He let Max do whatever she wanted that weekend, figured they would have better luck with one another if they both acted like outdoor cats, coming and going as they pleased, but come Sunday evening, all the pork buns were gone, and there was an unopened pack of cigarettes on his nightstand.
-
Regret number three: Lucas Sinclair.
Billy probably felt the most fucked up over this kid.
He’d gone after him, a fucking child, in his blind rage.
He had figured that out when he came to on the floor of that weird house, sitting up empty and alone, realizing I’m just like Neil.
He had seen all those kids with their nerdy toys, went out to RadioShack, early Sunday morning, leaving with a light wallet and a new idea.
Dustin was arguing with Mike over the realism of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, like there was anything realistic about it.
Lucas rolled his eyes, opening his locker, his mouth dropping open when he saw something inside.
He pulled the bag out, peering inside.
There were six brand new walkie talkies inside.
They were better than the ones they already used, had further range and more channels.
Everyone went silent.
“Um, these aren’t mine.”
Max’s eyes went wide. She snatched something up from the top shelf of Lucas’s locker.
The new Wrist Rocket had a note attached to it. She knows this handwriting, but couldn’t place it.
Enjoy the new gear. Don’t quit saving the world.
“Do you think they’re from Steve?”Max furrowed her brows at the note.
And then everything clunked into place.
“Maybe.”
The boys were tearing into the new walkies.
She got two cokes from the vending machine at lunch, handing one quietly to Billy when she got in his car after school.
-
Billy doesn’t really know what he’s doing here.
He had driven Max to one of her nerdy little friend’s houses, and somehow he got roped into staying? He doesn’t even remember.
But now he’s standing with a short kind woman, in the exact kitchen he beat the shit out of Harrington in, with Steve himself leaning against the other wall, watching the kids like some kinda hawk.
Billy’s hands were shaky, and he inserted himself into washing dishes from dinner.
He noticed most of them had chips, and all of them were mismatched. He put them away quietly, and drove to the nearest home goods store he could find.
Ceramic plates didn’t run too much, and he got a nice set of three different sizes, twelve plates of each size, light blue like the one he broke.
He left them on the porch, parked his car down the road a ways.
He rang the doorbell, sprinting and diving into the bushes before anyone can see him.
He watched as one of the sons, the one his age, the one in his English literature class, opened the door, his brow furrowing at the box of new plates.
“Um, Mom? Somebody left us a set of plates?”
He closed the door, but the took the plates with him.
-
Billy was sitting on the lawn, had just finished raking up all the damn leaves, and was taking a well-earned smoke break as he watched Max skating up and down the street, practicing her kickflips and ollies.
She cut into the driveway across the street, the only one on the entire block that was well paved, no cracks in the cement.
“Get out of here!” Max started as Mrs. Reynolds, a mean old woman was shouting through her screen door. “You little hooligan! You’re going to leave marks!”
Max bit her lip, trying not to laugh as she boarded back over to their house, standing next to Billy.
“I’ll be having a word with your father!” She rolled her eyes as Billy ground his jaw.
Cat nip was way more expensive than Billy was expecting, but he bought plenty of packages, returning home just past sunset.
He waited until about three in the morning, when Mrs. Reynolds’ sprinklers had finally turned back off before he climbed out his window, spreading the cat nip through her yard.
He flipped her house the bird.
Max was awed at the cats the next morning as Billy drove them both to school.
There must’ve been at least a hundred.
“Isn’t Mrs. Reynolds allergic?” Billy tried not to laugh.
“Damn. That sucks for her.”
-
Billy was sitting on the hood of his car, reading one of his lit books while he waited for Max to get out of her nerd club.
He startled a little bit when someone knocked on the hood.
And it was Harrington, smiling sheepishly at Billy.
“The Byers got some new plates last night. You know anything about that?” Billy tracked the thin scar on Steve’s head. It disappeared into his hairline. Billy wonders how long he had sat in front of a mirror, picking glass out of his thick hair.
“Who’re the Byers?” Steve huffed a laugh.
-
Max was standing in front of the mirror looking like a grumpy old cat.
Susan had bought her a lovely new dress, and Max fucking hated it. Susan was fussing over it, saying I ordered it from the Sears catalog! and can you believe it was only fifteen dollars?
Billy slipped a five and a ten into Susan’s purse later that day, taking the dress to the Goodwill downtown.
He found Max a couple crappy t-shirts there, bands she would hum to on the radio, shit like Journey and Foreigner, and slid them into her closet where the dress used to be.
She wore one the next day, blinking slowly at him over breakfast.
He avoided all eye contact.
-
Steve has long legs.
this was of course something Billy always knew, but watching him stalk in all his righteous fury down the street towards the high school really solidified that fact for Billy.
He was stomping, his strides long as he hustled to class. Billy thought about offering him a ride, didn’t think they were there yet.
Billy found himself in Steve’s driveway later that night, popping the hood of Steve’s dead car and searching over everything with a flashlight.
Billy rolled his eyes.
Steve had probably always paid someone else when his car broke down, didn’t realize if your oil was low, your car wouldn’t work.
Billy kept a few cans in his trunk, refilled the bad boy for Steve, making sure that was it.
He found nothing else wrong and Steve pulled into the school parking lot the next morning.
Billy could feel Steve staring at him when he walked into school.
He found Steve sitting on his car at lunch, holding the sandwich Billy had snuck into his locker, and a loaf of bread wrapped in cling film. .
Billy raised an eyebrow.
“I saw you last night.” His cheeks went hot. “Thanks for fixing my car. And all the snacks and stuff. And for the Byers’ plates. And for all the stuff with Max.”
“Nothin’s happened with Max.” Steve appraised him for a moment.
“She said you’re being nicer.” He held up the bread. “Homemade banana bread. Made it while you were being not at all stealthy fixing my car.” He smiled at Billy, one a’ those perfect sunshine smiles Billy had only ever seen Steve direct towards his kids.
“I just changed your oil. Car won’t run if you don’t got oil.” Steve furrowed his brow.
“My gas tank was full. I had just filled it.”
“Nah Pretty Boy, oil. It’s different.” And Billy took a deep breath. “Could show you, if you like. Teach you some basic car shit. How to jump, how to change a tire.”
Steve beamed at him.
“I’d like that! I don’t know shit about fixing cars. Always figured it would go way over my head.”
“It’s pretty easy. There’s usually only a few major things that go wrong in nice cars that are easy fixes. You’ll figure it out quick.” Steve slid off his car, and Billy lamented that for a minute, liked how Steve looked perched on Billy’s car, wondered how he’d look in the passenger seat, in the backseat-
Steve pushed the bread into Billy’s hands.
“Y’know, I forgive you. For that night.” Billy tightened his jaw. Steve’s eyes were a little green in the sun. “There was a lot goin’ on, and I was being sketchy. I don’t hold it against you.”
“I, uh, thanks, I guess. I’m sorry, about it.” Steve smiled at him again, the corners of his eyes crinkling just a bit.
“Yeah, I know.” Steve took a bite of his sandwich, his cheeks all cute and full. “And I’m more of a ham and cheese fan.” Billy rolled his eyes at Steve, taking with his mouth full of turkey sandwich.
“Sorry man, you get what Susan buys.” Steve laughed, his mouth still full. Billy was uncomfortably endeared by it.
“Don’t be surprised to find some lasagna on your porch one night soon.” And Steve winked at him, walking backwards towards the school. “You’re not so bad, Billy.”
“Tryin’ not to be.” Steve gave him a stupid little finger gun. Billy’s heart melted.
“You’re doin’ a good job.” And Steve set off back into the school.
