(Dogday's POV)
A little after we stopped talking, Catnap and I had began to relax, and soon took a short nap on the couch.
Both of us were resting peacefully, although for some reason, I didn't feel or hear Catnap purring, so out of curiosity, I opened my eyes and discovered that Catnap was gone!
"Catnap...? Where'd you go...?" I asked out loud, to which Catnap appeared from inside the kitchen, holding a cup of tea.
Catnap smiled a bit before walking over to me and giving me a few pats on the head before speaking.
"I was just making some tea, don't worry..." Catnap said as I sighed with relief, getting up slowly.
"Alright... Well, I think I'm gonna head outside... Its a nice day out, do you wanna come play with me?" I asked, hoping he would say yes.
"Sure! I'll be right out, just let me-" Catnap tried speaking, but I suddenly heard a knock on my door, to which I opened the door to find KickenChicken.
"Hey Dogday! Listen, I was wonderin' if I could..." He spoke, but trailed off as he looked behind me, to which I turned around, to see Catnap no longer smiling.
He instead looked a bit disgusted by KickenChicken's arrival, looking away slowly as he drank some tea, he for some reason seemed extra sassy today.
I turned back to Kicken as I motioned for him to go on, but as soon as I turned around, I just saw him looking more scared as he focused on Catnap behind me.
"Something wrong, Kicken?" I asked, extremely confused.
"N- No... A- Also you can forget about what I was about to ask... I'll go ask someone else..." Kicken stuttered as he quickly ran away, leaving me even more confused.
(Catnap's POV)
As Kicken looked at me, all I did was try to remain calm, but it seemed I just couldn't control myself, some of my limbs very noticeably started to gain length, and look more grotesque, and Kicken saw that.
He looked at me in terror as one of my eyes twitched, I was so... angry... Kicken really had the nerve to even talk to Dogday... Right in front of me...?
Without thinking, all I did was mouth the words "I'll hurt you." Silently, and Kicken seemed to take note of what I intended.
But I noticed that Dogday had began to turn around, so as a last resort, I forced every muscle in my body to turn back to the innocent, cute appearance I had before.
All Dogday did was look at me, and shrug his shoulders as I looked away from them both, sipping some tea as my tail swayed in the air.
Dogday turned back around, and I almost lost my... I'm not allowed to say that, even in my thoughts... But you get what I mean.
Point is, I was so angry, I decided to just stare at Kicken blankly until he got so scared, he made up an excuse to leave, then ran away in a panic.
Nobody is allowed to have Dogday when I'm around, he's mine, and mine only.
Kicken is really lucky I let him off the hook like that, if he even thinks about asking for a favor from Dogday again, I'll make him pay.
In a painful way.
(Dogday's POV)
"Huh, wonder what that was about... What do you think, Catnap?" I asked as I turned around again, closing that door as Catnap's eye twitched a bit.
"C- Catnap? You okay...? You're starting to worry me..." I said, Catnap immediately shook his head, as if my words took him out of a trance.
"Sorry, Dogday, I guess I can't really control myself when seeing someone else other than me talking to you..." Catnap apologized, drinking the rest of his tea slowly.
"A- Are you... Jealous of others talking to me...?" I asked, worried, but also kind of flattered.
"...Yes... And I'm sorry if that makes you feel weird... I just like you a lot, and I don't want someone to take you away from me..." Catnap said, looking down.
"Aw, Catnap don't worry...! You're my bestest friend ever! Nobody here could replace you...!" I expressed, gently holding Catnap's head, making him look at me as he smiled.
"Thanks Dogday... I really needed to hear that..." Catnap said, sighing in relief.
"Now... Wanna go play outside?" He asked, to which I immediately got excited, and nodded my head to.
"Yes! Yes I do!" I expressed happily as we both quickly ran out the door, outside, in the sunlight once again.
Today started off weird, but I doubt that would continue...
I hope...
