Catgroove: an UberHOXornova fanfiction

The Characters Find Themselves in Another Hopeless Romance

"Step away from the cat, James!"

The voice pierced sharply through the cold, dank night as James lifted his head. Hox, safely huddled in his arms, twitched slightly and stopped purring. Both man and cat shivered violently out of anxiousness.

"I'm warning you, I've.. I've g-got a..." The attacker, presumably male, sneezed and made more stomping noises.

"Hoxy boy, c'mon! Stop running late. Damn."

The cat took this opportunity to slowly crawl down a pipe on the side of the apartment building. It was slinking so gradually that James was getting angry. Kind of. "What the f*ck?"

Hox looked concerned, then, and meowed hesitantly. James chuckled. "Ah, you. I can't stay mad. C'mere." Hox leaped into the gamer's arms, nuzzling his cheek.

"I had to think about this, Hox. And you know what? It's cool on either side.

I can love cats. Anyone can love cats. Platonically. I'm just taking it to the next level. Heh. Oh, shoot, my phone. Damit. There. Sh*t. Um.

You can love me too! Cats love people all the time. Not openly, or romantically, but that's why I like you, felluh. You take it to the next level too. So yeah. Our love might end up being illegal. But we do, amazingly, love each other. And that's f*ckin' beautiful, man. Er, cat."

James panted for a while. He had fully explained himself. To a cat. And professed his forever love. He was sure, of course, that Hox loved him back. The cat hair on all of his hoodies proved it. And Hox was currently giving kisses to his hoodie sleeve. There was no doubt now, just a romance that would never be broken.

"I know you can't say it, ya piece of sh*t... But I love you." After only a short moment, Hox meowed, the equivalent of taking a battle axe to James' fragile heart.

James kissed the cat. On its fur, in between its ears, and on the very top of its head. Finally, he put Hox down. The cat did not budge an inch. James knelt down to look eye-to-eye with Hox, and moved forward. He kissed Hox, mouth-to-mouth.

And the cat kissed back.

👌Back to the present👌

James didn't say a word as he peered through the darkness to try and glimpse his attacker. Who would be crazy enough to be out at this time?...Besides him, of course?

"Come ON, James. Put Hox down, and I won't screw either of you up."
