Intimidation ♡ joshler

twenty nine

Tyler sits on his bed, watching his new feline companion as she makes herself comfortable on Tyler's desk chair, which has been a little damaged—thanks to said feline companion, who constantly raked her claws against the fabric.

Tyler's also trying to think of possible names that fit her, because he's been referring to her as "the cat" ever since Josh brought her over yesterday morning, and it's getting old now.

The teen hums, and the cat turns to look curiously to the source of the sound, and the two instantly make eye contact.  Tyler considers naming her Peri—short for periwinkle, since her eye color is close enough to it.  Tyler dismisses it, though, when he thinks about that annoying ass platypus from Phineas and Ferb; the sound he made used to always drive him crazy.

He then considers just giving her a basic ass name—like Noodle or some shit—but Josh probably wouldn't appreciate that much—

Josh.

Tyler thinks about his best friend, his favorite person in the whole world, and he wants the cat's name to be something that relates to Josh in some way.  His mind immediately drifts to the other boy's hair... dyed red...

Maybe he can name the cat Red?

Tyler immediately shakes his head at his own suggestion; he doesn't like that too much, honestly.  But maybe a shade of red could work?

Like Crimson?

No, no, that sounds kinda weird to Tyler.

Scarlet?

No, he used to go to school with a girl named Scarlet in middle school and she was a fucking bitch .  She would always pick on him for being really quiet and timid, and she pants him during gym on the last day of school.  Man, fuck Scarlet.

Ruby?

Tyler considers it, says it aloud.

He likes it, and he smiles as he grabs his phone to ask for Josh's approval.

    tyler: hey how does ruby sound for the meow meow?

He gets a response almost immediately.

    josh: Meow meow? You're so cute, Tyler.

Tyler blushes and moves to type a response, but he notices that Josh is typing again, so he waits a moment.

    josh: I like Ruby a lot though :^)

    tyler: my smiley :^(

    josh: :^) :^) :^) :^) :^)

    tyler: :^)^:

    josh: What the fuck is that omg.

    tyler: what does it look like?

    josh: Two colons, a parenthesis, and an upside down floating V.

    tyler: caret :^)

    josh: What?

    tyler: ^ is called a caret

    josh: Why do you know this?

    tyler: i learned it in school. didnt you?

    josh: Nah not that I can remember at least. I'll talk to you later though, gotta do some things :^)

    tyler: bye fren :^)

Tyler locks his phone just as Zack knocks on his bedroom door, letting himself in without waiting for his younger brother to answer.

"I'm going to Wally so we can get stuff for the cat," Zack says, "You coming?"

Tyler nods, pushing himself off his bed to put on his hoodie and put on his shoes—he has to look for them.  How the fuck do you lose a pair of shoes anyways?
