Why do I love you? (Darkiplier x Reader)

(Art belongs to Maskman626. I suggest that you look at his art to get an idea of what Anti looks like as a cat)

I used the bottom of my foot to shut the front door of my apartment. I struggled to keep the cat in my arms while I placed my jacket on the rack beside the doorframe.

"Oh~ Aliky~!" I hollered and waited for a response. I listened as footsteps hopped down the stairs, skipping a step as she went like normal.

"Oh~ (Y/N)~" She hollered back as she walked toward me. Our little 'oh~ name~' has been an inside joke for a few years. We always say that to tell the other that we're home and to check if the other was home or not. She stopped in her place when she saw the cat.

"Say hello to little Ant-ie," I said in a little prissy voice. I watched the cat jump from my arms and to the carpet. Now in the light of the living room, I can see how really beat up this cat was. She gasped once she could see his details. But she then smiled warmly before bending down and softly stroking him. I left the room and went toward the kitchen, placing my bag on the table before pulling out the light bulbs.

"What are you doing?" Aliky asked. Anti walked alongside her as she entered the kitchen.

"The lights went out earlier." I answered.

"No, they didn't." She said with a confused tone before flicking on the switch and watching the room illuminate. I observed the room with my lips pressed together.

"Uh, they went out earlier." I practically repeated. She rolled her eyes before sitting at the table.

"Lights are fine." She said. My eyes swept the room again, tissues, ice cream-... right.

"But, you're not fine. Did something happen today?" I asked. My eyes narrowing, telling her not to pass the question or lie.

"Brandon broke up with me." She mumbled while looking around the room. I chuckled softly in reply. "What so funny?! Brandon broke up with me!" She said with her eyes tearing up, but with no tears going down.

"C'mon, Aliky. This is the 3rd time you guys have broken up." I said while rummaging through my grocery bag.

"So? I think this might be permanent." She grumbled, trying to hide tears that weren't even coming out. My hand grasped the necklace and I pulled it out

"That's what you said last time," I replied. She opened her mouth to say something but then shut it. "That's what I thought," I said with a breathy snicker.

"What about you?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked while unclipping the necklace.

"You haven't had a boyfriend for close to a year." She said. I shrugged in reply while walking over to her. "When are you going to get a boyfriend?" She questioned. I wrapped the necklace around her then clipped it with ease.

"I don't know. I just haven't found the right person." I said. After I said that, Anti jumped onto the table and sat in front of us.

"Or~ You're still over that one guy." She said while looking at the heart of the necklace. I didn't answer and decided to just change the subject. I pointed to necklace while saying,

"You like it? Just got it for ya." I said with a smile. She smiled back at me and continued looking at it.

"You had to pick pink." She giggled.

"Why wouldn't I pick your favorite color?" I said with a smirk before turning to the cabinet.

"Touche." She responded while still admiring the necklace.

"So~ What do you wanna do tomorrow?" I asked.

"I was planning on doing a bit of a grocery shopping. Do you mind waiting for me to get back in the morning?" She asked.

"Yeah, I don't mind. What are we gonna do when you get back? Study?"

"I was thinking about going to Starbucks for a bit."

"Sounds perfect," I responded before I pulled out a can of tuna. I turned back to see the cat staring at me. "Hungry, Anti?" I asked. The name was weird, but I didn't really question it. I sat the can on the table and he went to eat it straight away. He gulped it down in seconds. I responded by giving him another can.
