les sequelles - Eric Coulter 1

65. Stray Cat

Imagine: Eric surprises you with a stray cat that he finds outside of the compound.

*************************************

You sit on the couch of yours and Eric's apartment, watching TV and eating a slice of pizza. You hear the door open behind you and you just continue watching your show, knowing that it's Eric coming home from work.

"Y/N, are you home?" He calls.

"Yeah, I'm here!" You call back with a mouthful of pizza. Not only were you and Eric dating, but the two of you were also best friends, which is why the two of you were extremely comfortable around each other. Your relationship was perfect, and you were envied by many people in the faction.

"Can you come here for a second?" He asks. You groan, putting down your pizza and making your way towards the door.

You see Eric standing near the door holding a soggy box. You look at him, confused, "Yeah?"

He holds the box up higher, "I have a surprised for you!"

"A surprise?" You ask, your confusion growing, "What's the occasion?"

"Why, does there have to be a special occasion in order for me to give my beautiful girlfriend a surprise?" He asks cheekily, "Just look inside it."

You walk closer and look into the box in your boyfriend's hands. Inside, you see a tiny, sleeping kitten. Your eyes widen as you look up at Eric. You'd been begging him to let you get a cat for the longest time, and he always refused, "Really?!"

"Yup," He grins down at you, and you jump up and down, squealing. You place the box on the side table next to the door, and you give Eric a tight hug.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you Eric!"

He chuckles, "Yeah, yeah, whatever."

You take the kitten into the living room and it finally wakes up, you hold it in your lap, petting it. Eric joins you on the couch, "So what made you change your mind about getting a cat?"

"Well I wasn't planning it or anything, but this morning, while I was walking outside the compound, I saw her sitting outside in the rain. She was so tiny and cute, and she reminded me of you. I decided I would bring her home for you, so I took her to the infirmary to make sure she was clean and healthy. Once that was done, I brought her here," He explained. The kitten quickly jumped out of your lap and snuggled into Eric's, he looks down at it wide eyed, and you giggle, "So what do you want to name her."

You think about it for a while, then finally say, "Amo."

He looks at you, "Why?"

"It's Latin for love, and this cat shows how much you love me, since you brought her for me, even though you didn't really want a cat!" You lean forward and kiss him, "Thank you Eric."

"Hey, no need to thank me babe, I love you."

"I love you too," You eventually get up to go set up for dinner. Once you finally get back, you see Eric lying on the couch holding Amo above him, and playing with her. She's purring happily, and he had a huge grin plastered on his face.

You laugh and he turns to you, quickly setting Amo down, "I guess you do like cats then!"

"She's not too bad," He says trying to compose himself.

"Just admit that you actually like her!" You tease her.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever Y/N."
