The boy who loves cats | MileApo

Chapter 1 | Who is he?

MILE

They said owning a cat is like having your own child, it will always stick with you no matter what and they will barely leave your side. I owned one cause I've been alone ever since I moved out from my parent's house and I've got no company at all, my house is in black&white. And I didn't like it, so I brought a cat.

Pinpointing what I'm saying, my cat isn't like the other cats. Who stays with their owners. Mine always stands outside my house as if It's waiting for something...Perhaps, someone? I feel like I didn't brought a cat at all, sighs...

So, nothing changed, I still feel so desolated, what's wrong with my cat?!

My curiousity increasing higher and higher, so there was a day where I tried to watch over my cat. It just ate and went outside my house and sat infront of the gate, it sat there for hours.

Until...

A man came.

He approached my cat full of ethusiasm, what was he doing anyway. Was it his first time to see a cat? pftt.

His smile was ear to ear as he kneeled against the gate and extended out his arm to reach my cat, he gave it a rub on its yellow fur. He was also mumbling things that I don't even know, his smile was never leaving his face.

So I didn't tried to stop him and just watched him from the window, still. I don't like it.

I wonder who is he... He looks decent, but I don't trust him. He might snatch away my cat from me and I wouldn't allow that so everytime he comes by, I never tear my eyes off them.

It kept going on everyday, every 7 am in the morning. But I never missed a day that I don't watch them from a far.

If you're thinking if have I ever confronted him...No, but we talked...Er, maybe fought...Last week? Don't think like that! He didn't visit my cat for a day and just came by late at night so I got worried!

"HEY! Where are you taking my cat?!" I shouted, barging out from the door and I created a loud thud that could have possibly awoken the whole neighborhood.

The man who I just shouted to looked at me, he had my cat on his arms and he kept on stroking its fur, what worried me the worst is that my gate was half open! What the hell!?

He was just looking at me and had no expression on his face, his hand still playing the fur. Shortly after, he leaned down to my cat's ear and smirked.

"Is he your owner? Pretty cute, huh." He said under his breath.

I kind of caught what he said...He called me cute which was unacceptable! No one has ever called me that in a looonng time. I'm built buff, how could someone...

I was already exasperated by him so i let an frustrated huff. "Come on, give me back my cat." You don't know how much I was trying to maintain my calmness. I didn't want to cause any ruckus, not in this hour.

I was expecting him that he would hand me back the cat but he just stood there, still gazing at me directly. Making my blood boil, this is so unbelieveable, he is! I pressed my lips together and took a deep breath.

Remain calm, mile...

There is no point of going bersek, remember. You have the longest patience.

I forced out a smile, laying out my hands. "My cat, I need to feed him." I said, softly. Yeah, right. I totally nailed that, I did a great job. Phew.

He didn't move as he was stilled, my cat was purring by his gentle strokes yet his eyes were still on me, is he on crack?! He came here 2 freaking am and opened my gate and took my cat into his arms, who in the world would do that?!

"I already feed him, he just need to sleep now." The man finally answered after a short moment of silence. What even was his problem, I wanted to rest but here I am, dealing with some stranger.

My cat is a he...Hm, I never know that until now.

What did he feed to my cat? Some trashes that he picked up from the dirty ground? Something that isn't good for him?

"Yes, give me my cat so I could put him on his bed." My smile turned into a grin so It would look more convincing, but I couldn't avoid gritting my teeth, i'm so fucking annoyed.

He was blinking like a fucking dumbass still staring at me also like a creep, soon after. His lips stretched into a wide grin.

"Oh! Yeah, here's your cat, I'm sorry chimby that I didn't visit you this morning. I was late to my work." He talked to my cat as he handed him to me very carefully, into my embrace.

Now, who is chimby... I haven't named my cat yet and he already did?! Just wow. I turned away so I could hide my eye roll. He seemed very close to my cat, hm.

"I'm sorry for disturbing you, I live nearby and I have to pass your house before mine so I always come to pet your cat." He explained, patting my cat's head. Whatever, I just wanted to sleep, is all.

I hummed as an answer and looked down to his feet up to his head. I appeared to be few inches taller than him, he had tan skin, and short hair, he looked just like an ordinary guy but I still have to be cautious, who knows?

"I'll go inside now, It's freezing out here..." I trailed off as I noticed his clothes. He was wearing sleeveless shirt and he had no jacket with him, tough guy.

I washed my thoughtd away and turned my hells to walk inside my house but his voice stopped me from doing so. "Wait! Uh...Can I stop by here tomorrow? I want to visit chimby." He tittered, scratching his nape. I'm gonna ignore the fact that he's calling my cat chimby, I don't like it.

"Okay, go home. It's freezing cold." I said and pulled the gate close and he stepped back, eyes still on me.

Stop staring at me for fuck's sake.

"Oh and also! I'm gonna bring him foods. So you don't need to feed him in the morning." He had another word to say, so tiring...I'm the owner of this cat so who is he to tell me what to do, tch. I only nodded and continued on my way, but I think still had a lot more to say as he walked closer to the gate and wrapped his hands around the bars.

"Oh and chimby has so many things that he dislike so you better careful around him."

I nodded my head once again, smiling while gritting my teeth. "Okay..." I slightly bowed and my walk accelerated, quick! Get inside the house before he could say something again!

"Oh! Wait-" I pretended to not hear him, good thing I grabbed the door knob before he could finish, I slammed the door shut, grunting. This is so bad...

Nuisance, tsk.
