Cat Adopting (Levi Ackerman x Reader)

"Can we?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Oh, come on, Levi! It's just a cat."

"No, it's just another creature that eats, shits, and will annoy me," he said bluntly.

"I've been wanting a cat for so long, it would mean the world to me so please?" you begged. He paused for a moment, thinking about his answer. Your eyes grew wide, thinking for just a split second that he would actually say yes-

"No," he replied, turning his back to you to continue what he was doing.

You huffed, starting to get very annoyed with the man before you. If he wanted a cat you would've jumped at the opportunity to make him happy, yet he's so goddamn stubborn when it comes to giving you something he didn't want. You would just have to peak his interest somehow....

"If you let me get a cat I'll do whatever you want for a whole night," you said cautiously, knowing very well what his mind would think of that.

He paused again before smirking. "Time to get that damn cat."

Levi had a look of disgust while you happily looked at every cat available for adoption at the animal rescue. You just needed to pet every cat you saw, making even the unfriendliest of them purr with affection. It was so hard for you to choose which cat you liked the most, you just wanted to take them all home with you even though you realized that Levi allowing you to have one cat was a miracle.

"What cat do you like, Levi?" you asked him as you gently stroked a beautiful and fluffy white cat.

"None," he grunted with distaste. He couldn't make it any more obvious of how much he didn't want to be there.

"Not even this one?" you asked, motioning to the cat you were currently petting. "She's so beautiful."

"It looks like something I would use to clean dust off," he quipped.

You sighed, giving up trying to make him like that cat. Even though you knew it wouldn't be possible, you really wanted to find a cat that both you and Levi would like. Your eyes widened when you saw an adorable, fat orange tabby up ahead. Levi was bound to like that one, who doesn't love fat cats?

"What about this one?" you asked hopefully as you pet the adorable cat's head, causing him to purr instantly.

"The damn thing looks like it's about to keel over. Besides, I'm not paying extra money to get it treated for diabetes."

You huffed in annoyance over how he wasn't even trying to look at cats. You were happy that he was finally letting you get one, but it wouldn't be the same if he didn't enjoy it with you.

Continuing to look through all the cats, you tried to find one that you thought he would at least somewhat like. You stopped when you came across a beautiful Blue Russian cat. The look on its face made you know that it would be perfect for Levi.

"Look at this one! It looks just like you," you said with a laugh as Levi peered inside the cat's cage to see what you meant. As beautiful as it was, the cat had the grumpiest look on its face that never seemed to change, almost exactly like the look Levi had during the whole time the two of you were in the cat shelter.

"Very funny," he said with the same look on his face, only proving your point further. "Just find a goddamn cat so we can leave."

You crossed your arms and turned away from him, finally realizing that there was no way he would ever like any of the cats here. There was no way you'd be leaving with a cat that the two of you both liked, it was only either bring home a cat that you liked or go home without a furry friend. Deciding that you would rather have a cat rather than not, you continued looking for one.

After a few minutes of looking, finally one stood out to you. You couldn't help but feel your heart break for this cat because of how bad of condition he was in. A piece of his left ear was missing while several patches of fur were gone. What completely shattered your heart was how sad he looked as he sat in the far corner of its cage; he desperately needed love and affection.

He threw himself at you when you stuck your fingers through the cage, trying to motion him over so you could pet him. He pounced on your fingers, eager to finally have someone acknowledge him.

Levi placed a hand on your shoulder as he peered inside the cage, the grumpy look on his face finally changing. Slowly, he put his fingers inside the cage and smiled when the cat started rubbing his head against the fingers, purring soon after. Maybe it wasn't so impossible to find a cat that Levi would like as well.

"I think I found our cat," you said with a smile.

Hours later, you found yourself sitting on the couch with Levi, his arm wrapped around you while the newest part of the family slept on both yours and Levi's lap. You rubbed the cat's head gently, careful not to wake the poor thing up. You looked up at Levi to see that his face was softer than usual, no doubt it was because of his newest companion. Convincing him to let you get a cat was the best thing you could've done for both yourself and Levi. Speaking of being able to convince him....

"So what do you want me to do?" you asked him quietly, not wanting to wake the sleeping cat.

"What are you going on about?" he asked, mimicking your quiet voice.

"The reason why you let me get that cat was because I told you I would do whatever you wanted for a whole night. So what do you want me to do?"

He thought about that for a moment. "I want you to continue to work hard so we can save up."

"Save up for what?"

The smile he already wore suddenly turned into a smirk. "For another cat, you dumbass."
