A few painful days of studying, classes and college frat parties later, you were sitting in your apartment with the cat Roxy had been holding hostage since she woke up with it in her lap. The movie you were playing in the background was being ignored as the two of you stared down at your phones.
"So how was class for you today," Roxy kept stroking the cat in her lap, she purred as Roxy continued to ruffle up her fur and then smooth it out again, scratching behind the beautiful creatures ears. She looked up at you with curious eyes and pressed down the button to turn off her phone, leaving it discarded on the coffee table.
"Alright I guess," you scrolled down your Instagram timeline, "boring as usual, but less boring than Tuesday's classes."
"Eww Tuesdays."
You laughed at the expression of disgust that was apparent on your roommates face. She left the cat in your hands as she got up to grab a drink and surprisingly came back with mango smoothies.
"You want one?" She offered you one of the huge glasses.
"Um... I'm not sure? Maybe? Just leave it here."
She nodded and held out her arms for the cat. You'd gotten used to having the fluffy little thing in your arms now however and continued to hold it close to you.
"Nooo (Y/N), please give her back, she loves me!" Roxy pouted.
"Yeah well she seems to love me a lot too, you gotta share!"
"No she's my cat, I woke up with her in my arms not in yours, c'mon you gotta give her back please I'll buy you food."
Just as you were about to bargain more with Roxy to see who gets to hold the cat, you felt something vibrating against your leg and rushed to put the cat down on the floor when you heard the piercing sound of your ringtone. The cat scurried away as Roxy tried to pick her up, shoving her smoothie onto the coffee table and chasing after it yelling 'here kitty kitty.'
Fumbling with the sofa cushions you knew you didn't have long before the call went through your message bank and thankfully you grabbed it out from in between the part you were sitting on and the part your back was against before the last ring. The word "Kankri!" popped up on the top of the screen and a picture of the troll boy sitting at a table with a cup of coffee held in his hands and staring off into the distance lit up your screen. You had taken that photo when the two of you hung out at a coffee place near school after your last class a while back. You had made it your Instagram profile picture for a while before people started asking you questions about him.
That was a regular occurrence even now that your profile picture was different. The two of you were only friends since you wanted to get to know him before anything happened. There was obviously chemistry though, that was impossible to ignore.
"Hey Kankri," you smiled as you heard shuffling on the other side of the phone. Kankri was obviously walking home from class still as you could hear the cars buzzing past him, the sound of his feet against the pavement and the sound the lights made when he got to a crossing.
"Hell9 (Y/N)," he paused. You assumed he had crossed a road and stopped talking to focus. "Are y9u 6usy right n9w? Did I call at a 6ad time?"
"No not at all, Roxy and I were just fighting over our new cat," you laughed as you watched the cat finally giving up and accepting defeat as Roxy swooped her tiny body off of the ground and carried her back to the sofa, sitting down with a plonk and snuggling the cat close to her.
"A... Purr-beast?"
"Uh..." you looked over at Roxy, who surprisingly enough had focused back on the movie that was just background noise before now. "Yeah, I think that's the troll equivalent, you'll have to give me a lesson on all of that stuff, I'm not sure what it means."
Kankri laughed, you pictured how his body moves as he laughs, you couldn't help but smile at the image of him walking down the street and laughing with his phone held up to his ear, passing strangers who will probably listen into his conversation.
"I can d9 that if y9u really want me t9, 6ut there is a l9t f9r y9u t9 learn and I d9u6t the library will be 9pen l9ng en9ugh f9r us t9 spend time there, s9, h9w a69ut I visit y9u at y9ur d9rm?"
