Aha! This time a feline instead of a chihuahua! Thanks fivesaucethough once again! xx

Ashton:"You're so fluffy! And adorable! I shall take you home." You said to the sandy calico in your hands. He mewed and sneezed. "Aw!" You turned back to the pet store clerk and smiled widely. "This is the one!" The clerk smirked and looked from the cat back to you. "This one is quite special young lady! Are you up to the task of taking care of him?" You looked down at the cat, who was nibbling on your sleeve. "Yup. He's definitely a keeper." The clerk grinned and he brought you over to the counter. "Now, with this cat, he's already been named. And he won't answer to anything else." You nodded and asked what his name was. "Ashton. Or sometimes Ash for short, but he'll hiss at it, unless he really likes you. So I'd suggest calling him Ashton for a while." Well. Mr. High Maintenance kitty. "Got it. Ashton. That's kind of an interesting name for a cat isn't it?" You received a hiss from Ashton and that shut you up. "Ok. Ashton. What a lovely name!" The cat then licked your thumb. What a weird cat. You paid the nice man and held Ashton in your arms on the way to your car. The backseat was already filled with cat food, cat litter, scratching posts, and some little toys. After you climbed into the driver's seat and set Ashton down gently on the passenger seat. He hissed and crawled back onto your lap. You giggled and picked him up. "Ashton I can't drive with you on my lap! You'll distract me silly kitty." He blinked at you and put his nose in your face. "Damn it Ashton. You're too freaking cute. You can stay, just don't move around a lot or anything." It seemed like he nodded for a moment, but you shook it off. You set him back on your lap and started the car. He was completely relaxed the whole way home. You debated whether or not to let him walk from the car and eventually let him walk around. He padded around the driveway and the small front yard and seemed content with his new living situation. You opened the front door and let Ashton in, carrying the cat supplies in your hands. He glanced up at you as you set down the heavy load on the table. You sighed and met his eyes. "So what do you think Ash?" Aw crap. You weren't supposed to call him that yet. You expected another hiss or a scratch, but instead, he rubbed his fluffy body against your leg. After 3 weeks of owning Ashton, everything was a routine. You knew all of his habits and he knew all of yours. It was pretty special :3 Today was another day of sipping on tea and stroking Ashton. (That sounded mildly dirty.) He sneezed and you giggled and set down your mug. "Are you allergic to me Ash?" He started to lightly gnaw on your thumb, his way of saying yes. "Aren't you a sassy kitty? Ok Ash you're gonna need to move in a second. My thigh is asleep." Without you having to pick him up, he wiggled his way to your other thigh. You laughed and kissed the top of his head. "Wow Ash. If you were a human, I'm pretty sure I'd fall in love with you because you are so sarcastic. And I love that. Thank you." Out of nowhere, he jumped off your lap and onto the floor and stared up at you. Then, his small form began changing at an alarming rate. You grabbed a pillow and shielded your face in case of explosion. After a few moments, you felt large, warm hands on yours, lowering down the protective pillow. Your eyes opened and met hazel ones in front of you. Exactly like Ashton's. "Hi Y/N." He spoke. His hair was a sandy color, like Ashton's fur. Everything about him reminded you of your little cat. "A-Ashton?" You asked just above a whisper. He nodded and pulled you off of the couch, and into a hug. He was warm and comforting. You hugged him back and sighed into his chest. His arms were wrapped tightly around you and his heartbeat was drumming loudly in his chest. "Are you real?" You asked dreamily. You felt his chuckle vibrate throughout your body. "If not, then this must be a really good dream."

Luke: You were having an intense staring contest with your boyfriend's cat. So far no one was winning. Your boyfriend waved his hand in front of your face trying to get your attention. "Hey! Y/N! Why are you challenging Luke? He's the champion!" He chuckled. You put a finger to his lips and shushed him. "All in good time babe." He continued to laugh and turned on the TV. Luke was still in his weird position, laying on his back, looking at you upside down. He was always a strange cat. His blue eyes still fascinated you. You'd never seen a cat like Luke before, but there was something about him that reminded you of a boy you used to know. The creepy thing is, the boys' name was Luke too and he had piercing blue eyes. But there was no way. Right? Luke sneezed and blinked a few times before mewing angrily. You jumped up and pointed at him. "Ha! You blinked!!! I win Whiskers McGee!!!!" Your boyfriend was red with laughter, clutching his stomach. "Why is this so funny to you?" You giggled. "Whiskers McGee! Luke can't be happy about that nickname! He's masculine!" He said between bursts of laughs. You raised an eyebrow and looked back at Luke, who was licking his paw. "Yeah. What isn't masculine about a big ball of fur that purrs when you rub its belly?" You said sarcastically and sat back down on the couch. Luke rolled off the chair he was perched on and jumped up onto the top of the couch and rested his furry head on your shoulder. You reached back and scratched his ears which earned a purr from him. You giggled and kissed his pink nose. Your boyfriend was looking at you with so much affection. "Luke really likes you Y/N. I think I may have to fight him for you!" He said and pecked your lips. You heard a small sigh from Luke but ignored it. "Well you're going to have to fight hard. I think I'm in loooove with Luke!" You teased. "I won't stand in the way of your decision then! As long as you're happy." Your boyfriend clasped your hand in his and returned to his show. You smiled and looked back at Luke. He was wrapped in a ball of orangey fur, facing away from you. You frowned and poked his side. He mewed and moved a little to the left. You smirked and poked him again. This time he mewed louder and moved further to the left. You picked him up and brought him to your chest and squeezed him lightly, receiving a disgruntled groan from his small body. You giggled and set him down. "Sorry Lukey. You're just to cute and I had to squish you. It's science." He sneezed and walked into the hallway leading to the bedroom. He stopped midway and looked back at you as if to ask 'Well? Are you coming?'. You detached yourself from your boyfriend and followed the violated cat. You saw him disappear into your boyfriends' room. You stepped into the room, not seeing where Luke went. Just then the door closed and Luke was there, nudging it with his nose. "What's wrong buddy?" You asked. Right before your eyes, he changed from a small cat to a 6 foot tall teenage boy with blonde hair and the same blue eyes. And might I add that he was also very shirtless. He took a deep breath and within a few strides, he was standing in front of you. You were about to say something when he grabbed your face in his hands and smashed his lips to yours. The kiss was over quick, and left you speechless and confused. "I-I'm so sorry. I just- I just needed to see what it felt like to kiss you." He looked vaguely familiar. You gasped and remembered the scrawny, blonde haired, blue eyed boy you used to be best friends with in junior high, before he disappeared. "Luke? Luke Hemmings?" You asked, already knowing the answer. He bit his pierced lip. Wait, when did that get there? "Hi Y/N." You blinked and poked his chest. "I haven't seen you in years. I-I missed you." You admitted. He grinned and took your hand in both of his. "I've been here the whole time. And...this is going to sound insane....but I'm in love with you. I couldn't stand being so close to you, and not be able to be with you. As me." You looked in his eyes and saw the cat, the same look on his face, the same movements. It really was Luke the whole time. "So that's why you were upset in the living room." He nodded and looked at your hands. "And why you kissed me?" You asked. He nodded again and looked away from you. "Luke. It's me. You can tell me everything. I'm still your best friend. I have been all along." He pulled you into a hug and sniffed. "God I missed hugging you Y/N. I love you."
