Monster (Vincent x Reader)

It's Fine

Chapter Twenty-Eight

[ vincent's pov ]

". . .A cat?" (y/n) said, picking Pip up by the fat of the back of his neck.
"Kitten," I corrected her. "I just kinda thought you'd like 'im...I mean, heh. I like him, but if you don't, I mean, I can take him in, I don't mind-"

Then a familiar girl's head pops out from the left side and stares at the cat. "Well, its no time machine," Ina snickered.
"Huh?" I said, tilting my head slightly.
"Oh! Don't mind me, Vincent. Ignore, ignore." Ina slowly moved back and disappeared.

"So, ahem," I cleared my throat, scratching the back of my neck. "He's kind of just an apology gift. You know, after being such a humongous jerk. I'm not trying to ask you to be my girlfriend again, but. . . Ah...just- Just take care of Pip, if you want? Y'know, with your new...new guy."

"Oh, I'm not her boyfriend," A random guy popped out from the right.
He had blond hair, almost white, and piercings on his lip, eyebrows and ears. I'm taking a guess there is one on his tongue as well. I recognized his voice from the phone call, only a little deeper in real life.
"Who are you then?" I tried my best to keep in my anger.
"I'm (y/n)'s other and better best friend, Caleb!" He made a peace sign and ran towards Ina. Or was it a "call me" sign? I'll never know.

Then it was just me and (y/n).

"Um...why don't you come in?" (Y/n) said, taking Pip out of the box and carrying him to her room, me following along.

I shivered in my wet clothes as I took them off in the bathroom in (y/n)'s room. She had handed me clothes I left here, and they were clean. I took a small sniff of the clothing, and it smelled like her.

Detergent and vanilla. I loved it.

The only problem was that there wasn't a shirt. (OHOHOHO)

[ your pov ]

Vincent gave me a cat? A cute, adorable little baby cat?
"Mew!" The little kitten said, rubbing himself against my leg. I pick him up and toss him on my head, and made him king of the world.

He opened the door a little too abruptly. "Vin..." I paused my sentence, and stared at him. "....cent...?"
I look away and blush, "Agghh! I'm so sorry I just didn't-"

"No it's alright," he insisted, "I don't have a clean shirt, is all."
I look at him and he looks at the top of my head. "Hello Pip."

"Mrow!" Vincent picked up Pip from the top of my head and placed him in his lap. I hesitatingly sat beside him.
"S-so..." I started, clenching my shaking knees. "Wh...why'd you bring Pip?"

"It was an apology gift, I told you already," He said, lowering his eyes and stared at me. "And...I couldn't just leave him behind a soundproof Plexiglass shop window..."

Vincent had whispered that last part, he must've been thinking I wouldn't hear him. I smiled at the thought of Vincent passing by a Pet Store and just seeing Pip and just buying him. Cute.

"...How much was he?" I asked, hoping he didn't spend too much money.
"About $175. But I got a free coupon book, for like, food and water bowls, a bed, kitten food, litter box, all the doozy."

I stifled a laughter, "Did you just say doozy?"
"Your point?" He rose an eyebrow, smirking.

That fucking smirk, I thought. Stop it!

"No, no, continue." I smiled.
"Well, so far I've only paid about $230."
"Two-hundred-thirty?! Vincent, what are you doing?"
"The love I have for you cannot contain itself in my own body, so I placed some in this cat."

I blushed. Did he really just say that?

"Crap. Did I say that out loud?" He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, as well as Pip's.
I didn't say anything, I only smiled.
"So anyways, it's like raising a child."
"Wait, what?" I furrowed my eyebrows, shivering at the word child.
"Oh. Fuck, for-for-forget I s-said that! I mean..."
"It's fine. . ." I drifted off as I
watched the bright moon glisten amongst Pip's white fur.

Vincent and I laid down onto my bed, Pip curling into a ball, ready to sleep in between us. I bit my lip from squealing at how adorable Pip looked. He was as small as my hand.

"What kind of cat is he?" I whispered, staring at the ceiling.
"A munchkin cat. They're really small, even when they're an adult, they'll look like kittens, and have short, stubby legs."

I silently "aww'd".

"Can I ask you something?" Tension filled the room as my palms began to sweat.
"Yeah?"
"Are you trying to make me jealous? Ya know, with that Craig guy?"
"What?" I sit up, staring at Vincent, then his chiseled body, then back to his face. "First of all, his name is Caleb." I chuckled. "Second, Caleb panicked when he said the last part. Third, Caleb is gay with a capital G. Fourth, why would you think I would make you jealous?"

Vincent smiled and sat up. "Oh no reason. I just wanted to let you know that that one goddamn sentence really hurt me, (y/n). And I heard your laughter on the phone after!"
"Because it was funny!" I said.

I saw a glint of hurt in Vince's eyes. I blinked and moved my head a bit back.

"It was funny that... The fact that you tore my heart to pieces?"

I instantly shot back, as I stood up. "Oh, here we go! You think you're the victim here? Calling me insane, cheating on me, defending Diana-"

He stood up as well. "I didn't defend her, we were in goddamned public! You want other people to hear you calling someone else a slut?!"

"Oh please, I'm sure she's heard it plenty of times!" I rolled my eyes. "And why are you only focusing on being her defendant?"

"Because I never fucking cheated on you! You're such a fucking conceited bitch!"

Both Vincent and I widened our eyes, and he had covered his mouth.

I heard a muffled apology.

"(Y/n), as your best friend, I am not obliged from telling you the truth, but you are one egocentric, conceited bitch."

"I could never cheat on you, (y/n). . ."

"Yeah, Diana was all over me, but if I really meant to hurt you, don't you think I would've done it earlier?"

"Because..."

"You're so full of yourself, and you only rely on your own opinions."

"I..."

"Did he ever tell you it was a misunderstanding, or anything to deny it?"

"...I really..."

"Denying from the truth."

"I love you."
