Iconic bonds

*Cat's pov*
When he parks his car, he opens my car door for me. "Oh, thankyou" I looked away, because my face was probably as red as a GPS system recalculating its life choices.
"Are you okay? You are red. Do you have a cold?"
"NO! I'm fine" I suppose I didn't do a nice job hiding my face.

When I finally get over myself, I accidentally happen to trip, but then he catches me in his well sculpted muscular arms.
Again, I get lost in his bright gaze, and I can practically see those police-siren colored eyes of his through his contacts.

"Are you sure you are okay? You are even more red now!"
"hUH? yA im fine" I manage to hop out of his strong grasp. As we walk into the coffee shop, I somehow manage to cool down. I suddenly lock eyes with a cute barista as we get in line- but I don't pay attention to it.

Ant looks at me and asks me what I want to get. I tell him I'll just have a sweet iced coffee
"but wait! Nevermind, i don't have enough money.."
"I'll pay"
"what??"
"I'll. Pay."
"Ya i know what you said but why?"
"take it as an apology from last night". I turn away as my face turns red, And he giggles to himself.
"Did you just laugh at me?"
"wHoops-" he says with sarcasm. I've never seen him smile before. I think his smile is cute.

"I'm sorry?" he asks. My face turns into an even darker shade of red as I realize that I just said out loud. As he handed me my drink, his hand slightly touched my arm and he must've noticed because we both immediately broke eye contact, and turned red.

As he drops me off at work I thank him and frolic off on my merry way. "Who was that cutie??" asks my bestie, Bohr. Honestly, He's kinda fruity, I swear he has a thing for Michael. Anyway, I tell him
"that's my new house mate"
"ooooooh~ sounds romantic✨" I don't even know how he managed to say "✨", but at this point it doesn't even bother me.
"What do the readers think about this?" he says as if we are in a story of some kind
"pardon???" I ask
"NVM" he replies. I don't know why, but somehow, that sounded passive aggressive.

Fast forward to the end of the day. After taking the bus, I come home, only to find a bunch of guys in suits, but as they notice me, they rush out the front door. "Who were they?" I asked Ant, who was sitting on the living room couch, with the palm of his hand all around his forehead. "Just some men from my work," he says. "Where's your work-" I get interrupted by a series of loud crashes.
We both rush to the kitchen, because that's where the noise came from, only to find a racoon digging through the trash
"i'm starting to wonder if this is a house or a zoo"
"and i'm starting to wonder if your a disney princess, because we never has this many animal problems in the span of 2 days before" he gives a snarky response. "Fair" I replied "I am really gorgeous. The only thing I'm missing at this point is a pair of glass shoes and a crown".

As we call animal management again we sit in the dining hall quietly, as the silence is broken by a worker saying "Well, the animal problem is fixed, This a a sweet home you got here" followed by another worker saying "a sweet house, for a sweet couple"
"we're not a couple!" we say in unison "Ma bad, bruh" the workers say, as they leave, with sly expressions on their faces.

"Anyway, your rent"
"what" i ask.
"When are you gonna pay the rent?"
"I-I-'' I stutter "I-I-I don't know when I'll have enough money, but I'll try to pay you back as soon as possible."
"i'll hold you to that, even if it takes you 3 years"
