Your boyfriend was a lover of cats and that was an indisputable fact.
When you first started getting to know him, however, this was something youâd never really would have guessed. If you arenât close to him, he doesnât give off the most friendly or soft vibes so you just assumed that he was the type to get annoyed by cats or dogs, but boy were you wrong.
Somehow, it wasnât until your third or fourth date that you even realized he liked cats. It was a simple act of kindness really, the two of you had been walking home from your fancy dinner date of mcdonaldâs when he had suddenly stopped in his tracks.
You were about to ask him if something was wrong, but before you had the chance you were interrupted by a soft âMewâ and when you looked down, there was a little stray cat rubbing itâs cheek against his leg.
You were a bit surprised that he wasnât shooing it away, but what surprised you even more was when he crouched down to itâs level before he scratched at itâs head gently. It was honestly pretty adorable considering the cute ghost of a smile that tugged at his lips and after a moment you had to crouch down as well to give the polite cat a few pats of your own.
After a few minutes, Shinsou explained that he actually had a soft spot for those little feline fluff balls. When he noted he liked that they were a bit more aloof and often loners, you began to understand why he liked them. Cats were a bit like him in a way, they could appear a bit standoffish or maybe even cold, but it just took a little attention to show they had kindness inside of them.
From then on you often teased him and his love for cats, but he had plenty to tease you with in return so he didnât really mind. You always did joke about how he was some sort of âCat Kingâ though, the two of you having run ins with one stray here or there almost every single time you went out together, but this was a whole new level.
Usually the two of you walked back to the dorms together, but heâd been doing some âextracurricularâ stuff with class 1-Aâs teacher that he for some reason couldnât tell you about, so sometimes youâd end up heading back to the dorms at different times. This time however you did end up seeing him, along with the practical train of cats following behind him.
You immediately burst out laughing when he looked up to see you, his face practically screaming âHelpâ as he kept trying to get them to wander off the closer he got to the dorms since he definitely couldnât have them all follow him in there. He really was the âCat Kingâ and this was a sight to see.
âDonât even ask.â He said almost immediately as you finally made your way up to him, but you just had to.
âHow!?â Was all you said, trying to wrap your mind around how the hell he even found so many cats in the area.
He went on to explain that he made the mistake of feeding one..then twoâŚand before he knew it this whole little pack was following him, meowing loudly in a cry for more snacks even though he had run out a long time ago.
Once you stopped laughing, you eventually decided to help him, slowly leading a few off into different directions until they had finally all left the two of you by yourselves standing outside of your dorms.
âLooks like thatâs the last of your children.â You muttered, watching as that final cat slowly disappeared off in the distance, snorting at his annoyed response.
âI am not a dad.â
âWhat?! Aw câmon, youâve basically adopted all of those cats. And besides..â You hummed, a mischievous smile blooming on your face. âIâve always wanted to be a mom.~â
