Our Kittens

I Forgive You

[Gajeel POV]

"Pfft, why do I have to take care of a random cat?" I mumbled to myself as I crunched on some random pieces of iron that Kinana had given me while I watched my new cat sipping some milk from a small cat bowl.

Personally she was the prettiest one out of the six that came out of that box this morning. She was a bit smaller than the rest (a bit bigger than one of them though [*cough* Wendy *cough*]) Her fur was a dark sky blue and when I picked her up I could feel how soft it was, I don't understand how someone could abandon her.

I came back from my thoughts when I felt her fur brushing against my hand. I looked down to see her holding a piece of iron in her mouth, that must taste horrible! What the hell does she think she's doing?! UGH! So annoying...

"Put it here" I held out my hand as I told her in a volume that only she can hear, noticing that I am talking to a... cat.

She turned around and slid the heavy piece of metal on the counter top backwards. She walked off the counter and onto my hand, once she was on my forearm. She placed the iron on my hand and quickly jumped up to my shoulder. Guess that was her motive, huh? Sneaky little bastard...

I ruffled its head, making her scowl. That's when Lily flew by and landed in front of me.

"Hello, Gajeel. Hello... uhh.. cat." He looked from me to her, "What are you going to name this new cat that you have picked up?" He obviously didn't know how I got her.

"I don't know. Maybe uhh... kitty?" I shrugged. I never was really good with names.

"You are going to be naming this kitten... kitty...?" I just shrugged at him again while hearing the cat meow in an annoyed tone at my lack of creativity towards picking names.

"I read in a book..." the cat seemed to perk up at the Exceeds words.

[Levy POV]

I heard the word 'book' and all my focus went to listen to Lily.

"that there is these gods and-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Get on with it! What are you trying to tell me?!" I was a bit annoyed at how Gajeel wanted to skip over the informational part, which was my favorite, but I also was extremely curious to what Lily was trying to point out by telling us, or more like Gajeel with stuff that had to do with gods. Like he would ever pay attention to any of that stuff...

"Well, there is this one goddess named Eos which means dawn and I think it also said how this goddess was a very sunny natured one." He was scratching his chin while trying to remember exactly what it said.

"And why the hell are yo-"

"OH! Eos also brought forth the hope of a new day... I think it said..." Lily cut off Gajeel without noticing and immediately answered what he asked a minute ago, "And uh- I was going to suggest that we name your kitten Eos"

Gajeel seemed to wander off in thought after Lily suggested the name, I thought it was pretty and I have definitely heard of the goddess before.

"Alright! Now you're with us Eos!" He roughly grabbed me with his large hand and almost crushed me with his hug, I could pretty much feel him smirking. I squirmed and escaped because of my small size.

I quickly jumped out of his lap, although it was comfortable there, and headed for the guild doors so I could get Gajeel outside. I knew that Gajeel never really bothered to get a house, he just slept wherever he could and found iron in some random shop or alley, so I just wandered outside.

He caught up to me. I thought he would stay at the guild because he looked like he didn't have a care in the world for me, but he quickly ran for me leaving Lily behind with the kiwi's Kinana had given him.
