Catnip

      Your pupils were huge, rugged purr escaping you as you rolled around in the plant. Kid and Killer stood by with tilted heads. "Uh... ___?"

"Flying bananadiles..." You purr rolling around some more.

"What....??" Kid looks to Killer in hopes that the blond knew what was going on.

"Maybe that's catnip she's rolling in?" Killer suggests, leaning down and picking you up. You swat and nip at his mask, purring louder. He chuckles lowly, putting a hand on your face. You grip his wrist, nibbling his fingers. Kid smiles a bit, stepping closer and touching your cheek. You blink and look at him, licking at his hand before jumping into his arms from Killer's, mewing and purring utter nonsense as you cuddle him.

"She's on something, that's for sure." Kid chuckles in amusement. "You guys go ahead, I don't want to take her into town while she's like this." He adds.

"Suuure." Killer chuckles before leading the others away. Kid let's himself chuckle and move his head away as you nibble his neck.

"H-Hey now, not there ___." He puts a finger over your lips but you just smile at him slightly mischievous, drawing your tongue over his finger slowly. His eye twitches slightly and he holds down a shiver. "I'll just put you over here...." He says quietly, placing you in a bed of flowers. You watch him as he rubs his neck looking around for something to make you behave. Kid turns around and you smirk, slinking into the underbrush soundlessly before he turns back around.

"___?" He calls carefully, looking around in slight worry. He curses under his breath, venturing into the forest. You stalk after him silently, adrenaline from the plant making your muscles ripple, getting ready to pounce. Kid must've sensed his position he was in because he became more wary.

"___... Come out." He requests. You dive between his legs at that, sweeping them out from under him. Kid hits the ground with a thud, coughing and trying to get up but you had him pinned before he could. He blinks up at you in surprise, pink dusting his cheeks from the predatory and dangerous glint in your eye that was also accompanied by the sexiest damn smirk he had ever seen. "___..." He swallows, wishing you would get off because you were making it hard for him to stay cool and collected.

A low purr was his only response, your claws teasingly tapping over his chest as you lean down and lick up his jugular. He gasps and shifts under you, biting his lip slightly, fingers twitching. "_-___." He tries to repeat with a slight pant. Dammit this was not the way he wanted it to happen. Not while you were under the influence of some stupid plant-

Your head snaps to the side, ears twitching as a sound catches your ear. Tilting your head briefly, you stealthily follow the sound. Kid relaxes considerably, watching your leave carefully as he tries to calm his body.

The sound grows as you slink closer and closer, what is that? Someone sobbing? A small person perhaps? The young boy comes into view and you both freeze. His red eyes were stricken with tears, reddish hair messy, and the poor thing was all dirty. You step toward him and he lets out a wary growl.

"Go away!" He snaps with a sniffle. "Leave me alo-" You sit up and pull him into your chest, rubbing his back.

"Shhh, there there little one... It's okay..." You hum softly. He shakes trying to fight back as more tears come to his eyes. "Why are you so sad small one?" You ask, fingers running through his hair soothingly. He calms a bit at that.

"Y-You don't care.... No one cares about me." He sniffs.

"I would not be here if that were true." You hum softly. "There are times when that feels true for everyone, but there will always be someone to find you in the darkness. But it takes time for them to search the darkness."

"Really?.... Have you come to find me?" He sniffs, looking up at you now completely calm. You offer a smile.

"Yep. That's me.... What's your name little one?"

"Taz.... What's yours?" He inquires.

"My name is—"

"___, there you are. What do you have the—" Kid breaks off as you and Taz look at him. Taz hides his face warily while you smile at Kid.

"I found him." You hum cuddling Taz with a purr, earning a slight giggle from the child. Kid shifts, this wasn't good, what was he going to do if- "I wish to keep Taz." That....

"I don't know about that ___... We can't take kids, and it's dangerous on the ship...." He tries to convince you.

"But he's alone and hurt... He has no one..." You object.

"I'm sure that's not-"

"How did you ?" Taz sniffs looking up at you.

"You... Remind me of... Someone... But, he's no more." You frown phasing out briefly. You shake your head, looking back at Kid. "I will protect him."

Oh boy.... Kid saw this coming..
