Joyous Critters (Smiling Critter's Oneshots)

Sparring Match💧

(Dogday's POV)

Me, Catnap, and everybody else were all sat in a circle as we all kept on talking, Catnap was finally starting to open up to some of the others, yet still being somewhat defensive when someone tried talking to me.

Although he seemed to actually be very loosened up, and sort of excited now that Maxwell was here, and I'm sure it was just because he was distracting Neko for the time being.

"Mph, Max...! Let me goooooo..." Neko whined as Maxwell held him by his side, giving him scratches and gentle pets as he didn't stop holding Neko.

"Not until you calm down, Neko, can't have you running around crazy again..." Maxwell mumbled, giving Neko more pets to try and satisfy him.

"Wait, running around all crazy? What do you mean? What did he do?" Kicken asked slowly.

"Well, you see, Neko actually used to be pretty bad back then, he was a real dangerous guy... Lil' guy was running around killing as he pleased." Maxwell explained as he continued to hold Neko close to him.

"And right now, there's no telling what this guy could do if I let him go, isn't that right, Neko?~" Maxwell teased as Neko tried scratching Maxwell, but it did basically nothing to him.

"Alright, I'll tell you what, how about we have a quick fight, Neko?" Maxwell asked as Neko crossed his arms, dissatisfied.

"If I win, you'll be a good kitty, and calm down, but if YOU win, I'll leave you alone and let you run around, alright?" Maxwell asked, letting Neko go as he stood up and immediately backed away.

"Fine, but stop calling me that... It's embarrassing..." Neko pleaded as Maxwell stood up, stretching a bit.

"I know someone who likes being called that...~" I remarked to Catnap, to which he blushed almost immediately.

"Alright... Let's see if you have still have that confidence when we're both alone tonight..." He whispered back to me, also making me blush as we both sat there in silence.

"Alright, Neko, you ready for this?" Maxwell asked as Neko nodded, his tail swaying left and right happily.

"Yep! I'm gonna hit you so hard, you'll-" Neko tried speaking, but Maxwell dashed towards Neko and punched him straight in the belly, making Neko fall to the ground almost immediately.

Everyone gasped, immediately getting worried as Neko held his stomach in pain, whimpering and sort of crying to himself.

"Ow ow ow ow ow..." Neko whined softly as everyone increasingly became worried for Neko, almost immediately turning on Maxwell.

"Maxwell, what the heck?! Go easy on him!" Kicken and some others yelled as Maxwell very quickly became worried for himself, but mostly Neko.

"I- I thought he would dodge that! He was way faster than that when I last fought him!" Maxwell exclaimed as everyone continued shaming him.

"What's wrong with you?!" "You monster! His mind is young!" "He's basically still a kid, you psycho!" Everyone yelled as Maxwell increasingly became defensive.

A couple hours later

"I'm really sorry, Neko... I thought you would dodge that, honest..." Maxwell apologized as Neko held his belly, whimpering softly.

"I can't believe you did that, Maxwell..." Bobby and a few others noted, dissatisfied with his actions.

"Make it up to him and say sorry like you mean it." I demanded as Maxwell sort of panicked for a quick second.

"M- Make it up to him? How do I do that...?!" Maxwell asked frantically as everyone sighed and groaned.

"We don't know, but think of something, alright?" Kicken said, making Maxwell sigh as he walked towards Neko.

Neko looked at him and flinched a bit as Maxwell held out his arms, waiting for a bit.

Neko whined a bit as Maxwell wrapped his arms around him and hugged him, and some of us actually thought that was kind of sweet...

"O- Ow OW!" Neko cried out again Maxwell panicked and dropped Neko as he fell.

"MAXWELL!! Did you squeeze too hard?! Why can't you do something such as even a hug right?!" Bobby complained as Neko cried to himself in pain as Maxwell just stood there.

Geez... I get Maxwell isn't that nice of a guy normally, but c'mon Maxwell... You can't even pull off a hug?
