Four - Cats

TW: I'm pretty sure this one is clear, but please comment if I missed anything so I can add it!

Y/N's POV

The horse you had chosen was slowly treading through the forest as you lead it towards the pointed direction of the compass. You had been traveling for about an hour now. The compass had moved directions about five times since you had left home, and you groaned as it turned slightly to the right again.

You kept pushing onwards, past the thick undergrowth and through the large trees obstructing your path. You almost jumped for joy when you finally saw a structure coming up. You moved the compass around, seeing that the needle pointed in the direction of the stone building. Satisfied, you placed the compass back into your inventory, and rode the horse to a stable-like building.

You tied up your black and white spotted horse in one of the stalls next to another horse. The other was a chocolate brown horse, with a white spot on its eye. You fed them both a sugar cube before walking across the lawn and knocking on the door.

The stone structure was old, crumbling even, with ivy being one of the main materials holding it together. You waited for a moment after knocking, your ears picking up footsteps nearing the door. There was a "click" leading to the door opening. Standing in the doorway was the dark haired boy with the bandana. He smiled when he recognized you.

"Y/N, right?" He asked, letting you in. You nodded, walking past him and going inside the house. You slid your bag off your shoulders, leaving it on the coat rack by the door. Looking around, you were slightly surprised. It was a lot nicer on the inside. The walls were a creamy white, the fire gave off a soft orange glow to the open area. To the left was a set of stairs. To the right, a fireplace and a couple couches. In the back of the room was a fairly large kitchen. In the center was a table and about 6 chairs, all of it made of dark oak wood. It was very homey, as there were plants all over as well.

You felt something rubbing between your ankles, looking down to see an adorable cat purring against you. You kneeled down slowly, letting it sniff your hand and learn your scent. After all, you'd be living here for a while. You started to pet it, which made it slowly melt into a puddle of cat. You were in love.

"Aw, Patches likes you!" Sapnap said. You smiled a bit, deciding to pick up the cat. Looking around the room, you spotted a plant sure to make you the cat's favorite human: catnip. You picked some off while still holding the purring kitty, letting her paw at the plant until you set her down and gave her free reign of the catnip. She was someone else's problem now.

"So, how was the ride over?" Sapnap asked. He was obviously thinking it was a little awkward without conversation, but you knew he was just waiting for his friends to be back so he could hand you over to them.

"Pleasant," you plainly stated, flopping onto the sofa. Sapnap stood awkwardly in the middle of the doorway. You heard foot steps coming near, deciding it would be more comedic to do nothing while you sat and watched the cat play with the piece of plant you had picked off.

Soon enough, two people slammed the door open, bursting in laughing. Sapnap, however, was less enthusiastic, as the door had hit him in the face.

"Oh, sorry Sapnap!" George apologized. Dream walked in behind him. He looked directly at you, as you were now off the couch and crouched down, playing with the cat once more.

"So, I see you've decided to join our efforts?" Dream said. You could see his smile as he looked at you.

"Yep," you replied, not looking up from the adorable kitten. He seemed to notice how much Patches purred when you pet her.
