My Pets?!

Chapter 2

Threne's POV

I stop by at the grocery store first to buy some cat food. I would like to go the veterinary clinic but...I'm broke. So, I'll just give my all to properly care for him. I check his body and good thing there's no fleas and other deep wounds. Only in his paws.

Wait, that's weird. Is there a street cat with no fleas?

Mmmmm...nevermind.

When I finally reach my house, I walk straight to my room, the cat still in my hands and place him gently to the floor.

"Wait here. I'm going to find some cat shampoo. You are clearly going to take a bath." I speak while softly gazing at the bloody cat.

He meow as a response and he looks so cute. I supresses a squeal from leaving my mouth by biting my lower lip. Instead, I let out a smile and bend on my knees to pat his fluffy head.

"Now, be a good boy."

I quickly walk up to the cabinet, trying to see if the cat shampoos are still there. Fortunately, there is. I check the expiration date and its still fine. I carry Ean, turn the faucet and filled the bathtub with warm water.

I take a deep breath because knowing cats, they don't like water.

"Okay baby, you might not like this but this is for your own good. Be careful or your wound will open again, and you don't want that, don't you?"

Ean meow as an answer. I look at his crystal light blue eyes and I notice that there's no fear in it. I'm astonish and delightful at the same time.

"I'll take that as a yes."

I slowly put him to the water and wash him as he purr in my touch causing for me to giggle. Good thing he's calm and seems to like the water.

He's so cute when he purr. I just wanna hug him, squeeze him and kiss him! Okay, control yourself Threne.

I rub his fur very gently, and when I am done, I grab my towel and dry him up.

After the peaceful bath, I walk to the kitchen to grab the cat food. First, he slowly made his way to the food and then lick it until he takes a big bite.

A happy smile appear on my face as I watch him eat. He is really adorable. Its been awhile since I have this kind of feeling. In the past, I always got anxious because my mom might see the animals that I've brought home but now, I feel free. My heart feels light.

I can finally have a pet.

Night came, I decided to retire to my room. Ean keeps following me everywhere I went. He looks so cute being confuse and wary in this new environment.

I lay on the bed, patting the empty spot beside me but instead of going to where I pat, he sat on my stomach in all fours with both of his paws tuck in, looking like a loaf. I chuckle and nuzzle my nose to him.

"You're so cute, Ean. I just wanted to squeeze you."

He purrs again and started to doze off to sleep. I stare at his half close eyes which would open a little until it close completely. His sleeping face made sleep also claims me.

The next day, I'm suddenly awaken by something sticky and rough on my face. Its actually painful like a rock rubbing on my skin. I open my eyes only to see Ean licking me nonstop.

"Good morning Ean. You can stop now, your tongue hurts. Ow. ow. ow."

He stop and looks at me. I can't help but chuckle and pat his soft head.

"Geez, I can't get mad at you but please don't do that anymore."

Turning off the lamp, Ean jump off from the bed as I stretch my stiff body.
