Gunderkeen one-shots

Kitty Mack

Thanks to Teleleopard for the idea!
Mallory's POV:
        I groaned as I was abruptly pulled from my slumber. Rolling over and opening my eyes I remember Gunderson wasn't here.
         He had spent the night studying some PDH or something. I haul myself out of bed, stretching  my arms above my head.
       Something furry startles me. Two furry objects on top of my head. I scramble to the bathroom and, look in the mirror.
     "Gods of Asgard?!" I cry with some Irish curse words thrown from my mouth.
       I had two, calico, cat ears in my head. I turn my head, searching for a tail. I was disappointed, there it was. Twitching side to side. A orange, and black speckled tail.
     "Hel?!" I make a few turns, as if chasing my tail.
      "Okay Mal, you're just tired that's all." I splash water on my face, trying to make the ears go away.
       After five splashes they were still there.
"Ugh!" I cried, pulling at them. They didn't budge.
"Okay, calm down, we just need some answers. Library." I say.
After changing out of my pajamas and into some jeans and a sweatshirt.
Having a hard time, trying to get my tail into a comfortable position. I pull my hood over my ears and finally made my way out of the safety of my room.
I focus on keeping my eyes ahead head low.
Thankfully no one was in the hall. So I quickly make my way to the library without confrontation.
I hope that Halfborn isn't here. The last thing I needed right now was for him to be cracking jokes as I try to find answers.
Quickly I glance around, seeing no one I make my way to the computers.
What was I supposed to look up? 'Humanoid cat changes'? 'Spontaneous cat ears and tail'?
I shrug, settling for people with cat ears and tail. Some pictures of Japanese cartoons with large eyes, cat ears and tails come up. They are called Neko, Japanese for cat.
"How original." I mutter.
There were no myths or any articles. Just a bunch of art and videos.
Suddenly my hood is pulled down, I quickly cover my ears with my hands.
Turning I see Halfborn behind me.
"What the Hel!" I quickly reach for my hood, having to remove my hands to do so.
"Mack? Why do you have cat ears?" He glances behind me at my butt, where you can make out the outline of my tail. "And a tail?"
"Why don't you tell me?" I say, grabbing behind me and freeing my tail.
"This is adorable." He says, laughing, extending a hand to pet my ears. I batt it away, reaching for my knife.
"Do that again and you lose a hand." I threaten. He just laughs, though he does retract his hand for now.
       "How long have you had," he gestures to my feline ears, "this?"
      "This morning." I mutter, he starts laughing again.
"What are you snorting at?" I snap at him.
      "Your tail is swishing." He states, I glare.
"Your ears flattened." He gasps, and bends over, laughing his arse off. "I- need- a camera." Rolling my eyes I stomp away.
         "I need a new boyfriend." I call behind me.
"Love you." He responds, jogging to catch up with me.
      "Hate you too." I mutter.
  "Did you find anything?" He asks, referring to my computer search before he came.
      "No, just some anima stuff, neko, is Japanese for cat." I state. Walking through the rows of books to the Japanese section.
      "Hmm." He mutters, grabbing a book on mythology of Japan.
     "Nothing on adorable cat hybrids." He says after paving through the book.
"I'm not adorable." I mutter, grabbing a random book and paging through it.

Time skip

After hours of searching we still found nothing.
"This is stupid," I say, slamming down my book.
"It's not helpful but it is fascinating. Did you know that-" I cut Halfborn off with a glare. Amusement still danced in his eyes though.
"I don't think it's such a bad thing, the ears and tail suit you."
"Halfborn, the tail is going to get in the way of battle. And I don't want to have to cut holes in all my pants for it. Not to mention there is no hiding my ears in Midgard." I exclaim, throwing my hands in the air.
"I can hear the librarian breathing from here." I point to the direction of the old lady on the other side of the book crowded library. "It's giving me a headache. Not to mention I can't sit down right with this thing."
Halfborn walked over to me and wrapped me in a hug.
"Sshh, we'll figure it out." He said. "And if not," My boyfriend stroked my ear, a tingling feeling flowed through me but I pushed it down. "I think you'll live."
"Nice pep talk." I mutter sarcastically and start to pick up another book.
"This research isn't getting us anywhere." Halfborn stated, grabbing my wrist and walking me out the library.
      "We should do something else." He says, leaning in.
    "Halfborn," I protest, "I have limbs I need to get rid of, so can we focus?"
       "Mack!" He whines.
"Not if you want a girlfriend." I say and walk towards my room to get a snack.
        "Fine." He whined again, following me.
"You're such a child," I mutter, as my boyfriend wraps an arm around my shoulders and buries his face in my hair as we walked.
Once in my room, I grab a bag of pretzels and sit on the couch, rather uncomfortably with the dumb tail.
Halfborn and I share the bag, I have to occasionally batt his large hand away so I can grab some.
Suddenly the door opens,
"Mallory, you've been-" TJ, stops, staring at my cat ears. I throw my knife, landing it into the door frame. "Umm." Is all he says before he slowly leaves, closing the door behind him.
"Ugh," I mutter, pulling my hood I over my head again.
Halfborn chuckled softly, he slowly pulled down my hood and caressed my ears.
The tingling feeling filled my body, I didn't move his hand this time. I leaned into his side and closed my eyes.
        I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up Halfborn was gone and a blanket had been draped over me.
        I say up and ran my fingers through my hair, disappointed that my ears were still there. Behind me my tail still flicked.
        A soft knock sounded at my door. I slowly got up, no longer caring about my feline additions and opened the door.
       A Japanese girl, a bit older then me stood there next to Halfborn.
"I am Himari, your love has informed me about your situation." Her voice was soothing, and I didn't recognize her from training.
       "Um, and you can fix it?" I ask uncertainly, blushing slightly at the 'your love'.
"I do have  the remedy, yes." Himari handed me a vial with a bright orange liquid in it.
"Drink it now and you should be back to normal by morning." The girl said.
I sniff the bottle, it smelt like oranges and jasmine. Throwing back my head, I down the stuff.
"Himari, I cant thank you enough." I say, a small tingly feeling in my head.
"It's my pleasure," she said before leaving.
Suddenly my eyes began to blur,
"Gunderson, I-" my knees went weak and I greeted darkness.
—————
I woke up in Halfborn's arms. I wiggled my self free and patted the top of my head, no more ears. Glancing behind me, no more tail.
"Yes!" I exclaimed, falling back onto Halfborn, who leaped awake.
"What?" He asked, sleepily. "Aww, your ears are gone." He says, with disappointment.
"You're unbearable." I mutter, he chuckles, pulling me close.
"Only for you." He mutters. I kiss his lips and he strokes the back of my head.
