Harry's P.O.V.
I ran through the house with excitement because it was December 24th, that means Christmas Eve! I looked under the tree at the beautiful presents that Lou and I had bought each other for our first Christmas together. Something is missing, that something that will put a bright smile on my LouBear's face. I know...a kitten! I quickly got dressed and put my shoes on before heading out the door.
I drove to the local pet store, parking and then getting out. I walked into the store and so a lot of animals and animal lovers with their own animals. I smiled at the sight. I just love animals. I walked over to the little arena where they test the cats with their future owners.
"Hello", I said to the gentleman, "Can I look at some cats?"
"Yes sir come into the arena", he opened the door for me.
I walked in and sat down while the gentleman went to get a cat.
"He's a fighter", the guy handed the cat to me.
He immediately scratched me and then jumped out of my arms.
"I'm sorry sir, he's a fighter like I said, he is for killing mice and protecting your house."
I smiled reassuringly, "It's ok. Can I see the next cat?"
He nodded and went back into the rooms where the cats were.
He brought out a cute black kitten, "She's timid."
He handed me to her and I held her in my arms like a baby and looked into her eyes. She looked into mine and breathed harder, yet not looking away from my eyes. I started hearing her start gasping which scared me.
"Is she okay", I panicked.
"Oh she's really timid", he came and took her, "I'll go get the next cat."
"Here", he gave me a dark and light brown cat, "She's a player."
I kept her in my arms and she pawed at my nose, no scratching, but she jumped out of my arms. She ran around the arena.
"No thanks, I want a calm and collective cat."
"I have the perfect cat in mind", he scooped up the other cat.
He went back into his room and then came out with the smallest, cutest looking kitten. It was gray and really small, most likely the smallest cat I've seen.
"His name is Asher and he's one month old", he handed him to me.
He handed Asher to me and I held in my arms like a baby. The guy handed a bottle to me and I put the bottle in the kittens mouth. I t drank and looked me in the eyes with the cutest little stare in the world.
"I'll take him", I smiled at the cat.
The guy nodded, "One hundred twenty-five dollars and twenty-one cents."
I swiped my card and then I took the cat and bought cat food, a cat food dish, a cat bowl, a litter box, and litter. Then I took the cat home and kept him in the basement. I gave him milk and cat food for his age. I made up the liter box and then went up to meet Louis, who was just coming home from arrends.
"Harry you were supposed to do the laundry while I was gone", he picked up the whites, "I'll do them."
"No", I shouted and took them from them.
He stared at me like I was crazy.
"Um it's my chore so I'll do it", I covered for myself, "Just sit down. It's late and you're probably tired."
"It's only 8 Haz."
"Damn it's that late", I smiled and headed down to the basement.
I threw the clothes in the washer and checked on the kitten. He purred and rubbed against my leg as he walked around. I walked up the stairs, happy that the kitten was fine.
"Hey LouBear", I shouted as I headed up the stairs from the basement, "Let's go to bed before I get too exited that I can't sleep."
Louis nodded and I took his wrist, leading him up to our room. We fell asleep and then when we woke up, it was Christmas.
"Marry Christmas LouBear", I shouted as I jumped on him, "Come downstairs while I fetch your first gift."
He put on a tired smile, one that expresses a kid that's tired, but excited. I ran downstairs and then down more stairs to the basement. I picked up the kitten and brought him upstairs as Lou walked down the stairs. I put the kitten down and it walked up to Louis, purring and walking against his leg. Louis immediately got a sneezy expression on his face.
He brought his arm over his face and sneezed four girly sneezes.
"Bless you Lou", I went over to him and put my hand on his forehead, "Are you feeling alright babe?"
Louis didn't respond, instead he was having trouble trying to stifle his sneezes.
"You're sick?"
He shook his head, still sneezing.
"It can't be hayfever, it's winter", I asked.
Lou shook his head again, still sneezing.
"Do you have allergies?"
Lou sneezed four stifled sneezes, but then broke into a big fit of un-stifled sneezes. He nodded.
"Point to what's making you sneeze."
He pointed at the cat and then caught his breath, "You can keep it though Haz. Oh no."
He put his finger under his nose, but it was no use because he broke into a fit of girly sneezes.
"Aww babe I don't need this kitten, I already have my kitten."
I kissed his cheek and he smiled.
"We'll just give this cute kitten to my friends so I can still see it. We'll get a dog!"
Lou smiled and nodded his head, "Thanks Haz."
He sneezed a couple more times.
"You're welcome kitten."
