Purple Cats

A/N: This wasn't requested but I thought about writing it because it was cute, and of course I love a freaked out Cory Matthews

Lucas didn't remember where he got the idea, Riley had been painting purple cats for as long as he could remember, but as their relationship continued he would give her little gifts here and there. For anniversaries they always got each other homemade gifts, but whenever he saw a purple cat he always found a way for Riley to have it. Sometimes he took a picture and sent it to her, other times he brought them for her and left them around her room for her to find. It hadn't occurred to him to ask her what she did with them until he climbed through her bay window one day to see a small shine to a purple cat painting she had been working on.

"Riley what is that?" he asked when he saw the top of her dresser had been taken over.

She smiled at him and said, "My purple cat collection. I don't know how but they always show up at the most random times."

He knew that she was talking about him hiding them, but he didn't want to say anything, instead he walked over to her and sat next to her on her bed.

"Thank you for the cats," she said smiling up at him before kissing him on the cheek.

"No problem, you're worth a million purple cats."

"Please don't get me that many I wouldn't know what to do with them."

"I won't," he smiled. "By the way you're getting better at painting cats."

"Don't tell Maya," she said looking down at her hands. He knew that she was insecure about being good at anything that any of their friends had any talent in, she didn't want to feel like she couldn't get to their level. But lately he noticed that she was getting better and better at painting, especially her signature cats.

"I won't, but maybe one day, your cat might want a friend," he said pulling out his latest surprise. It was a blue puppy to match her purple cat collection.

"Oh my god Lucas," she said smiling at him. "He's so cute."

"Not as cute as you," he said pulling her close. "So Violet now has a friend, what should we name him?"

"Cobalt," she smiled at the little blue dog. "Cobalt would be a perfect name for him."

"Maybe one day you'll get good at drawing little blue dogs."

"I'll try to draw one next time in art class, along with a little purple cat, it will be my thank you gift to you."

"Thank you for what?"

"For being there whenever I needed you, for always surprising me when I least expect it, for being you."

"Then I should thank you every day because you make me a better person."

She smiled at him and snuggled in closer, "Why did you come over today? Was it because you found Cobalt?"

"No, I actually wanted to see you, I only found him on the way here and thought I should bring him along."

They looked into each other's eyes smiling, it was a perfect moment, and then the door opened.

"Riley time for dinner..." her father paused. "You."

"I'll see you later," Lucas said to Riley before running towards the window but he was tackled down by Mr. Matthews.

"No way Bucko," Mr. Matthews said holding him down.

"Daddy," Riley screamed as Lucas tried to pry himself away from his girlfriend's father. "We weren't doing anything."

"Then why were you looking into each other's eyes? Huh young lady, huh?"

"Mr. Matthews you know me, you like me remember," Lucas said trying to plea his case. Even after months of dating Riley and years of being in Mr. Matthews' history class the man still acted like Lucas was a threat.

Riley started crying on the corner of her bed, the minute she started Mr. Matthews let go of Lucas to go to his daughter. Lucas already knew that the crying was a ploy, Riley had perfected crying in an instant because she thought it would be a good way to help him. The moment he was free of her father she looked at Lucas and gave him a quick smile, which was the signal for him to climb out the window as fast as possible.

"See you later Riley," Lucas said as he rushed out of the bay window and down the fire escape, he couldn't help but smile as he walked home. He really loved his girlfriend.
