Day 16 "Fireplace"

TW: violence mentions, wounds

Dreams Pov

I was walking home from a long day of work. I had to meet up with the company that does my merch, and we had to create the new designs for the next upcoming holiday after Christmas and new years which is valentines day. Then, I had to plan new videos and stuff that me and my friends have to upload in the new year. Let's just say it was a long day. 

I was walking home like I said previously before I came across an alleyway. You may be thinking well it is just an alleyway, what's that got to do with anything? Well, it was not just an alleyway. As I was walking towards it I heard whimpering, like a cat, and it is cold out since it is night time and it was raining just earlier. So, I decided to go and check it out. I can't just leave a cold and probably wet cat out here, and cats hate water so it is most definitely uncomfortable. Also, I'm sure patches would love a new companion. I then  walked down the alleyway, but I was not expecting to see what I saw.

I'm a neko. I know it's weird isn't it. Well, at least that's what people say. You see, nekos are always out casted. We are considered the lesser species since we are humans with cat ears and tails and if you are a neko you either get the good side of things or the bad side of the things and I currently am in the bad side. I have been homeless for a while now. I used to live in an abandoned house, but they tore it down today and that forced me to leave. Then, it started to rain causing me great discomfort and fear since I'm scared of water and I was cold. Eventually when I found an alleyway to sleep for the night, drunks came and tried to hurt me. Thankfully only landing a few punches & scratches since I was able to fight them off due to their strength being drained by the alcohol, and now I'm sitting here against cold brick while I'm freezing and wet, but then all of the sudden I heard a gasp. Just when I thought things couldn't get worse. I looked up from my knees and saw a tall blonde guy with piercing yellow eyes. I assume they are green because humans can't have yellow eyes, and I'm colorblind to green. He was handsome and looked harmless, but you should never judge a book by its cover. So, I tried to make myself as small as possible, but failed as he clearly already saw me and was now standing in front of me. "Please don't hurt me," I whimpered out pathetically. I hate being so  weak. God I wish I could just fight back.

"I won't," the man said, bringing me out of my thoughts."Do you have anywhere to go or live?" he asked.

"No, my home got torn down. Why do you want to know?" I asked, holding back a hiss as he knelt down and placed a hand on one of the knees I had folded against my chest. I guess it wasn't too bad though. His hand was warm and my shorts made my legs cold.

"Do you wanna come stay with me? I know I'm a stranger and all but I know how nekos get treated. I don't want anything to happen to you that I could have prevented," he said before quickly saying, "also my name is Clay but everyone calls me Dream." 

"Ok well, Dream, I’ll accept but you promise not to hurt or do anything bad to me?" I said holding out my pinkie. Something my sister taught me before running away.

"I promise," I said, linking pinkies with the small brown neko. He smiled, finally putting some trust into me. "Are you good to walk?” I questioned as we both stood up. His legs were still shaking from the cold and those shorts and t-shirt were not helping.

"Yea," he said, going to take a step before falling over and wincing. I quickly bent down and lifted his chin to check his face for injuries, but all I saw was the scratch I noticed before and tears now rushing down his face. 

"Hey, hey, it is ok I'll carry you alright. Then, I'll clean your wounds, and get you all warm and clean, ok?" I said and he nodded. I picked him up bridal style, awwing when he curled into my chest and started to purr. I then took him home.

3rd Pov 

Once George and Dream were home, Dream set George on the toilet seat of the bathroom. The neko whimpered at the loss of warmth, but then hissed when the hot water was turned on. "It's ok kitty it won't hurt you, see," Dream said, submerging his hand into the water allowing the kitty to relax. Dream then helped the kitty into the tub after getting his clothes off, but not before learning his name was George. Afterwards, he left to get some warm clothes. Once he got back he saw the cat had rinsed off all the dirt and stuff and was splashing the water at himself then away from himself making Dream chuckle. "You having fun Georgie?" Dream said, the cat only flashing him a toothy grin before dream helped him out, and helped George get dressed. They then went to the fire place where George left Dream's side and sprawled out on the floor in front of the fire, making dream smile at George since he was seemingly comfortable around dream. Then, dream sat down beside George, and George laid his head on dream's lap allowing dream to pet and scratch his ears, which made George's tail sway and cause George to start purring. This spiking patches attention as she came over and curled up against George's stomach. Now patches was purring and George was purring a bit louder. Both of them were clearly happy, making dream happy that his favorite girl and new friend were getting along. What a great way to spend time in front of the fireplace.
