Kitten in need

2nd December

Harry is a hybrid, half cat and half human. What happens when he escapes from laboratory? Will he find someone who can take care of him?

Harry kept running till his legs gave out. When he couldn't run anymore he had to find a place to hide at. He found some bushes by the trash cans and since he was scared someone was still chasing after him he hid there.
He curled up into a ball because the sun wasn't shining anymore. It was getting cold and the night was crawling in.

He could have been there for around 4 hours when he heard the sound of the trash can. He was scared but cold at the same time. He thought someone might give him something to eat at least.

Harry made his way out of the bushes carefully.
"Meow?" he sat down on his bum, expecting to see a person in front of him. There was no one to be seen. He could see the door from across the street close and that was all. Harry's pretty ears fell down to his head.

He cried in cat language to himself till he heard some sound. He looked up to see another person standing in front of the trash cans.

"Hey?" that silhouette said towards him.
Harry stopped crying straight away, being scared and curious at the same time.
"Meow." was his answer. It was a soft, curious type of meow.

They came closer which made Harry step back.
"Hey little one. You don't have to be scared." the person looked around to see just the hybrid there.
"You are here alone?" the kitten just nodded.
"Oh little one, come with me."
Harry wasn't sure if he should. What if it was a trap? But in the end he slowly crawled towards the guy.

"You don't have to be scared, yeah? I am Louis. What is your name?"
"H-Harry." the kitten managed to say. He wasn't able to speak that much yet.
"Okay Harry, let's take you inside." Louis smiled small at him.

———
"This is my place. From now on it's your place too." Harry slowly walked in, his ears curiously turning from side to side.
"Meow." Harry sat down on his bum right in the first room, which happened to be Louis' living room.
He checked the guy up and down with his huge green eyes. He was dressed in a jumper and skinny jeans. His eyes were blue.

Harry immediately remembered laboratory.

"What is this colour hybrid?" one of the doctors asked him.
Harry was sitting in front of a button that currently had the same colour sky has.
"Mmm." Harry tried to remember so hard.
"B-blue." he said and looked up at the doctors.
"Yes, that's blue hybrid."

"B-blue?" he scissored his ears and stared directly into Louis' eyes.
"My eyes are blue, yes." Louis smiled and came closer towards him.
He was about to scratch behind Harry's ears, but the young hybrid didn't know what he was about to do to him, so he just backed away.
"Hey shhh. I don't wanna hurt you. I just wanna-" Louis thought for a moment.
"You have never been scratched behind your ears?" the kitten just slowly shook his head in negative way.

Louis was about to talk more to him about it when the kitten whimpered from discomfort. His tummy was making those familiar sounds.

"Oh, are you hungry?" Harry nodded.
"Come with me. I will make you something in the kitchen." Louis walked away and Harry followed him carefully.

"I have some leftover meat and-" Louis opened the fridge.
Harry jumped up and down happily when he saw his favourite thing.
"Hey, calm down." Louis took his eyes towards him.

Harry saddened and sat down on his bum as the good cat he should be.
"What would you like?" Louis asked him.

Harry didn't know if he could manage to say it.
His brain tried very hard to find the right word.
"Mmm, m-milkie?" he tried.

"Milk?" Louis took the cartoon with milk out of the fridge.
Harry nodded vehemently.

"Okay, let's get you some milk." Louis took out a bowl and halfway filled it with that white liquid.

"Okay, come here." Louis grabbed it and walked towards the table. He put the bowl on the ground, so Harry could have better access to it.

The kitten immediately began to drink the milk.
He finished soon, licking his lips.
"Is kitten still hungry?" Harry looked to the ground in pure shame but nodded nonetheless.
"No problem love. I prepared you the meat in the meanwhile." Louis smiled and put a plate in front of him.
"Meow." was Harry's way of saying thank you before digging in.

Louis took the empty bowl with him, placing it into the dishwasher. When he returned, Harry was already done eating.
"Was good?" the hybrid nodded in response.
"Alright." he smiled and put the plate away as well.

Harry watched him curiously. Something was telling him to... to just-
Louis was about to close the washing machine when Harry pressed his head against Louis' calf and purred.

He smiled at the sight of satisfied Harry.
"So, I guess that's a thank you?" he asked all smiley.
Harry looked up at him as he nodded.

"Okay pumpkin. I think now is the time we bath you." Harry backed away when Louis said that word. He hated water the most.

"I know, it's water... but you need to get clean. Otherwise you can't sleep anywhere else than floor." Louis sighed.

Harry didn't want to at first but in the end he followed his new owner. Louis was his owner now, right?

———
"Meow!" Harry squealed when the water got into his ears.
"Harry, we are almost done."
"Meeeeow." he cried when Louis stopped the water.
"Hey little one, it's all done. No more water." Harry opened his eyes to see that Louis wasn't lying.

"Meow." he peeped.
"Gosh, you will be the death of me. You and your cute meows." Harry reached out with his paws, wanting Louis to take him out of that ugly thing called bath.

"Come here." Louis helped him out.
"Here are my joggers and some old tshirt. Dress, yeah?" Harry nodded but didn't really know how to do it. The doctors used to dress him. Louis was already gone though.

"M-meow." he tried to do as Louis told him but he somehow got stuck in that thing Louis called tshirt.
"Meow." he cried for help.
"Are you done Harry?" Louis walked back into the bathroom to see Harry was stuck.
"Wait love." he came closer and helped him get the tshirt on. He also helped him with the boxers and joggers.

"All good?" Harry only nodded.
"Okay kitten." Louis reached out to finally scratch behind his ears. This time Harry let him.

What he felt when Louis did that was unfamiliar. It felt really good.
Harry meowed in pure pleasure.
It felt that good that a huge stain appeared on his joggers when Louis pulled his hand away.
"Harry!" Louis immediately noticed what happened.
The kitten looked down to see that he in fact peed himself.
He felt bad. This wasn't supposed to happen.

Harry's ears pressed down to his little head. He was scared of Louis' reaction.
"T-too good." he peeped after a bit of time passed.

Instead of shouting Louis frowned.
He had never been scratched behind his ears before...
"Kitten." he whispered to him.
Harry slowly looked up at him.
"It felt too good?" Harry nodded in embarrassement.
"It's okay. It happened now and it won't happen again in the future since you know how it feels." Harry nodded carefully, his ears slowly going back to their previous place.
"Well, now I have to shower you again though." that had Harry whining, but he was glad his owner didn't punish him.
