Violins And Cookies (Phan AU)

The One With The Cat Break-In

Dan was awake at 7 am and he had no idea why. It was a Sunday and it meant that he wouldn't wake up at least until 10 am but not today. He could have just gone back to sleep but not his rumbling stomach.

So Dan got up and went to the kitchen to make some cereal and coffee but of course there was no milk in the fridge. What a perfect start to a perfect day.

Dan was still hungry so he decided that he would go out and get some milk. He put on a hoodie and went down when he saw Phil jogging, headphones plugged in. He spotted Dan and ran up to him waving.

"Hey Dan"

"Hi Phil"

"What are you upto?" Phil asked.

"Oh I was just going to the store to get some milk" Dan answered. "And you?"

"I am jogging, trying to get in shape and stuff"

"That's awesome" Dan said.

"Yeah sometimes" Phil said.

"I better get going, see you later"

"See you around" Phil said and then he jogged away.

So Phil was the healthy kind. Something Dan couldn't relate to at all. He hated exercising and everything which meant getting off the couch.

Dan walked and reached the store and he got some milk then went back to his apartment, when he saw Snowball sitting on the doorstep.

Dan was slightly concerned that she would find a way to make things dirty again, so he picked her up. The cat got comfortable curling up in his arms and Dan had to admit that he liked the special attention he got from her.

"You always find a way to come here, don't you?" Dan asked as he scratched her ears.

Snowball purred and Dan smiled at her.

"Now let's get you back to Phil" he said only to find that the door was locked.

Was he still jogging? Dan had no idea. He couldn't wait for him outside and he can't leave Snowball outside. There was only one thing he could and that was to take her inside the house with him.

Dan unlocked the door and went in closing the door again. He let Snowball down on the floor and she climbed on the sofa staring at Dan.

Dan went into the kitchen and made the bowl of cereal before settling down on the sofa watching some TV as Snowball sat on his lap.

When he was done he checked to see if Phil was home and he wasn't. He couldn't have been jogging for such a long time which meant that he was most definitely out somewhere and that Dan would have to take care of Snowball. He groaned loudly and Snowball kept looking at him.

"Guess you are here with me now" he said and Snowball purred.

He hoped Phil would return soon. Until then he had to feed her so he looked around and finally found a can of tuna.

"Snowball come here" he said and she trotted to him as he opened the can.

He kept the can in front of her and she went crazy over the smell and finished the tin in no time.

"Well aren't you hungry" Dan smiled.

He got up and got some water for her and as she was finished she joined Dan back on the couch resting on his lap as he read a book.

"You really do like me, don't you" Dan asked as he scratched her ears and he noticed that he fell asleep. Dan smiled at the heart warming sight. He had never considered himself a cat person before. But now he had his neighbor's adorable cat who somehow always managed to find a way to get inside his house.

After spending the whole evening reading and Snowball waking up Dan made some dinner and Snowball was of course besides him as he fed her some bits of the fish.

He was almost finished when there was a knock on the door and he was hoping it would be Phil and there he was a frantic look on his face.

"Dan Snowball is gone" he said. "I can't find her"

"Calm down" Dan said. "She is with me"

"Oh my god" Phil said. "Where is she?"

Dan let Phil in and he found Snowball near the sofa.

He picked her up and hugged her.

"Jesus Snowball you scared me" he said.

"It's okay Phil, she is fine" Dan assured him.

"How did she get out?"

"I have no idea. I came back from the store and she was on the doorstep and since you weren't here I thought I would let her in. I couldn't just leave her out you know." Dan said.

"Thank you so much" Phil said.

"No problem" Dan smiled. "Be careful next time though"

"Yeah I'll be" Phil said. "Thanks again"

Dan just smiled.

"Come on Snowball let's get you home" he said and then Phil left. Dan waved closing the door. He was a little sad to bade goodbye to Snowball but happy that Phil got her back. Maybe he should get a pet too but then he remembers all the stress Phil goes through and the idea doesn't seem appealing anymore.

He finished his dinner and as he had women up earlier he almost went to sleep when he heard a knock.

It was of course Phil with cookies.

"Please take these as a thank you for taking care of Snowy" he said.

"I um" Dan hesitated for a second. "All right" he gave in.

"Thank you" Phil said.

"Um thank you too" Dan said and Phil laughed.

"Goodnight, I will see you tomorrow" he said.

"Bye 'night" and Dan closed his door opening up the box and it had cookies which smelt so good.

He took a bite and they were oatmeal raisin cookies. Dan hated oatmeal raisin but for once he couldn't stop eating those damn cookies.
