Cartoon Cat x Male Reader (SCP AU)

｡˚ Chapter 17 - Love is Merciless ˚｡

You were laying with your head on the table, it was late, around 9 PM. You stared mindlessly at the kitchen part of the staff room.

You were in your staff room, thinking endlessly about what the fuck was with you today. Cat was spinning around in your mind, the giant walking-talking feline monster with an appetite for human flesh. That also had turned out to be awfully caring, friendly, protective, and possibly a little cute. Your cheeks got flushed, as you quickly covered your face with your hands. You had this day free, so you literally had the chance to think about this the whole day.

But honestly, why the hell couldn't you stop thinking about him?

The falling scene you and him previously had made your heart race, and you didn't know why. Sure, it was one of the most embarrassing things that have happened in your life, but Jesus! It shouldn't be THAT big of a deal. You fell on top of him when he caught you from falling. That was all there was to it.

You groaned loudly as you sat at the meal table, tugging lightly at your hair. Your whole body felt so... Tickled. Like butterflies in your stomach, but everywhere instead. Surely there was something wrong. You decided to search for the source of your sudden... Emotions.

Thinking of Cartoon Cat, you couldn't help but smile. His larger-than-life spirit felt like quite the opposite of you, and it hadn't been too long since the first time you met him. You remember being scared of him, his big cartoony eyes staring into your soul as if you were some kind of toy to him. But his gaze had been exchanged for one filled with care and joy, he made you want to be with him so badly. You sat up quickly, giving a light slap to your own face.

*THINKING ABOUT AN SCP LIKE THIS IS EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL.* You thought, telling yourself off.

But it was so hard. And you continued to think about the strange Cat. He was so nice to you, but so was Andy and Bella! Why was HE the person making you feel this warm and wholesome?! It was so weird. And when you really thought about it, was it possible that you actually found him... Attractive?

You became red, as you stared at the ceiling, your head overfilled with thoughts.

*Fucking damnit.* You thought, gripping your head.

You suddenly heard the door opening, in stepped Andy and Bella. Lou was in her room, you assumed.

"Hi Y/N!" Bella uttered, sitting down in front of you.

"N/N! Wassup?" Andy came soon after, with him sitting beside Bella, on the right side.
You quickly tried to look as un-bothered as you could, but what was going to be your friendly smile was more of a faint smirk, if even that.
Isabelle and Andy looked a little surprised at first, then they looked a little worried.

"You alright N/N?" Andy asked, tilting his head carefully.

You nodded eagerly while making a loud 'MHM' sound. Andy and Bella gave each other a glance.

"Mhmm... Y'know, we'll continue asking if you don't answer." Bella voiced, and Andy gave a confirming nod.

You groaned loudly, laying your head on the table again. They stared at you. You glared back at them.

"UGH! Fine! I'm... Ehm..." You thought about what to say, you couldn't exactly say right out that you found a 6 feet Cat as endearing as you did.

They looked at you, Andy's hazel brown eyes looking curious as ever, and Bella's grey eyes looked as gentle and friendly as usual.

"I..." You really couldn't come up with what to say. And even if you found words that fit, would it really be a good idea to tell them about your strange feelings?
