Neko

Adopt Me?

Phil's POV

I lifted Dan's head off of my lap, and slowly set it back on the floor. I, then, made my way to the waiting room.

I, first, opened the center, and then quickly snuck behind the counter, and looked around in the shelves. Eventually I found it, and pulled out an adoption form, and then folded it up, and placed it in my pocket.

"Hey Phil, how's Dan?" Peej asked, coming into the rescue center. "He's ok. Still sleeping I'm pretty sure." I smile before quickly adding, "I'll go check on him if you ring up Chris and tell him what happened." "Will do." PJ nodded, smiling, and took out his phone as I headed through the white wooden door and into the hallway.

"Dan?" I whispered, walking into the room slowly, incase he was still asleep. "Phil!" He shouted from his bed, and ran over to me as his tail followed closely behind him. He wrapped his arms around my torso, digging his ears and head against my chest, and I wrapped one arm around his back and my other had held his head close to me.

"I'm sorry I fell asleep on your lap. I was so cold from the ice pack and the thin blanket, and you were so warm and cozy I could help it and I just wanted-" I stopped his rambling by talking over him. "Hey hey hey," I said extremely quickly, but then whispered slowly and calmly, "Shh, it's ok. You were cold and scared. It's ok." "Thanks." Dan blushed, and I awed at him.

"Hey, Phil." Peej opened the door, and Dan hid himself in my chest, scared of a stranger. "Yeah?" I asked, now turned around. "Chris and I are going to go out. Can you make a quick round and feed the Nekos." "Of course," I smiled. "Good luck with the rescue mission." I waved, and he nodded, "Bye!"

PJ left and Dan unburied his head from my chest. "Ok, little kitten," I stared, and gently pet Dan's head. He purred, and nodded, signaling he was listening, "I've gotta go. I need to feed the other Nekos, but I'll be right back." he looked up at me with large eyes, "You're leaving, to be with other Nekos?" "Yeah, but only for a short while and-" I stopped speaking half way through my sentence when I noticed what Dan was doing.

"What are you doing?" I chuckled as Dan rubbed his head all over my torso, and wrapped his tail around us. "They need to know you're mine." he started sassily, and looked up at me with an adorable smile, with the cutest dimples. "Well, whatever makes you happy before I go." I laughed, and let him continue doing whatever it is Nekos do.

I finally told Dan he had to get off of me, and I left to feed the Nekos. I got all of them fed except Dan and a couple others, because they'll usually eat at night.

I came back to Dan's room, and Dan was sat on his bed in a little ball. He quickly sprung up and ran over to me. He sniffed my chest and made a disgusted face.

"You smell like them." he said sadly, and stepped back. Really, I couldn't smell anything but the air, but I guess Nekos have got better noses so I can't confirm anything. "Well, I mean, you can do what you did before and I'll smell like you again." I suggested. "Ok, I guess." Dan shrugged, and came up to me. He put his arms around my neck, and his tail around us as he purred into my chest. Be rubbed his head and ears all over my torso and hands before he looked up at me.

"What? Miss as spot?" I asked smugly, putting my hands on his waist as he looked up at me. "Yeah, right there." he smiled, leaning in. I closed my eyes and leaned in slowly until our lips met.

Our lips danced together in sync, and we fit together like puzzle pieces. However, we eventually pulled apart for air, and I laid my forehead on his as we both breathed heavily.

"Better?" I asked, smiling. "Much." he giggled, and kissed my cheek.

The rest of the day was pretty bland. Peej brought one of the Nekos to their new adopter who was a very nice woman, and Chris bathed and got the newly rescued Neko ready all whilst Dan and I sat there together in his room. Nothing too eventful.

Later, Chris and I were the only ones left here, and I was waiting for him to go home so I could close up behind him, and stay with Dan for the night, again. "Hey, Chris," I asked when we were in the waiting room. "Yeah?" He replied, fumbling around, trying to get himself and his things together. "Well, tomorrow, I'm gonna adopt Dan." I hopefully stated, wanting him to be excited. That's not what I got.

"Oh...really?" Chris said sadly. "Um, yeah. Why is that bad?" I replied, concerned. "Well, I was gonna adopt him. When I first saw him, I dunno, he was so cute an innocent and I wanted him to be mine but I knew I had Christie and I..." he's topped himself, and went dead silent. "And what?" I asked, slightly jealous that Chris wanted him too. "And... I've been sneaking in there without anyone knowing. I tried to get him to like me, I really did, but he just doesn't i guess. You get all the Nekos anyway, so I didn't know what I was expecting." He concluded. "Um, excuse me? I don't get all the Nekos. Dan is the first one that's ever even liked me this much so how about you stop being a sad bitch and get over it. You already have one anyway, you shouldn't want him. He is mine." I declared, staring him right in the face. He blinked, taken aback by how much anger I had mustered up in those few milliseconds. "How about we see which one of us he wants?" Chris tried offering. I laughed, "Ok, let's go now, shall we?" "Fine." he said, and we were off.

I gently pushed open Dan's door, and stepped in, "Dan?" He looked up from his bed in the dark room. "Phil!" He shouted happily, and ran up to me. He hugged, me and I hugged back. Chris cleared his throat, and Dan looked up. His eyes grew wide as he stepped back and hissed. "Hey, sugar plum, it's ok." Chris smiled kindly. "I told you not to call me that." Dan said, scared. "Hey, Danny, shh. It's ok." I gently pet his head, to which he purred at. "We just wanna ask you a question." I said softly, hugging him close, to which he buried his head in my chest. "Ok." he squeaked, still staring at Chris with wide, scared eyes.

Chris started at me and Dan, and if could see steam coming out of his ears. His hands were in angry fists, making his knuckles turn white. His face seemed a slight shade of pink from possibly holding back a scream, and his eyes were staring daggers into the both of us.

"Who would you rather want to adopt you. Me or Chris?" I asked Dan gently, smirking at Chris as I laid my chin on Dan's head. Dan gasped happily, completely forgetting about the fear, "You wanna adopt me?" "Yeah, but Chris does too." I pointed out, and Dan's ears flopped down sadly. "I-I..." Dan went quiet.

"Come here." he whispered, and I leaned down for him to whisper without Chris seeing Dan's mouth. "Chris will hit me again if I say I want you." He whispered. My jaw dropped open, and my eyes went wide. Chris hits Dan?
