Pet AU

"God damn it Soot, get back here!", I continued to pursue my cat all around the small apartment building but the little devil was easily able to slip under tables and chairs making it harder to grab her. I was going to be late for lunch with my sister but I didn't have a choice given Soot had stolen my socks. I eventually cornered her out on the small balcony attached to the living room.

I watched as my cat tried to find a way to escape my wrath and she seemed to spot one as she dashed between my legs and onto the unused chair that sat in the corner of the balcony. I quickly turned around and watched as she used her momentum to jump on top of the balconies railing.

She looked behind her then back at me, "Don't you fucking dare", I pointed my finger at her in warning. Naturally Soot doesn't give a shit what I say and launched herself off of the railing and onto my neighbors balcony. She landed on the balcony safely and looked at me as if to say 'Your move, scrub', and then proceeded to run into their house.

I let out an audible groan of annoyance at my stupid cat. I checked my phone to see I had missed text messages from Zoe asking me where I was. I sent her a text explaining the situation to which she sent back a bunch of laughing emojis. I went back inside and marched out my door and straight to my neighbors door and gave three knocks that were probably more aggressive than necessary.

Of course no one answered the door so I could only assume that the person living here wasn't home. I went back into my apartment through the door that I had left open and wrote down a note for my neighbor and stuck it between the wall, Soot was their problem now.

I once again went back into my apartment and put on my shoes, without any socks, and left my apartment this time locking the door behind me. I glanced to my neighbors door and shrugged before continuing on my way to the stairs at the end of the hallway. I'm sure Soot would be fine and if she decided to come back I left the backdoor open for her.

I was making my way up the stairs to my apartment after spending my morning with Jared. When I walked up to my door I saw a piece of paper sticking out of it so I grabbed it out of the door and started to read it, If you find a cat in your house it's mine, she snuck in and you weren't home, sorry - Room 302

I just stared blankly at the note for a bit registering what it said. So there may or may not be a cat just roaming my house? I swiftly pulled the keys out from my pockets and fumbled to unlock the door. When I pushed past the door and into my house I immediately noticed the cat. It wasn't hard to miss her considering the animal was on the floor just rolling around in the dirt to one of my plants.

The plant was just lying sadly on its side presumably knocked over by the cat, said cat seemed to freeze when she noticed me standing in the doorway just staring at it. I pushed the door closed behind me with my foot and slowly approached the creature. I don't know what to do, should I try and grab her or do I just accept that this cat is in my house now?

This is such a weird situation, I should probably try and get the cat back to its owner though. I started to approach the cat but before I could touch it it darted away from me. I cringed when I saw the dirt trail it was leaving behind it as it ran around my apartment. When the cat turned back around and saw I wasn't chasing it it stopped running. I looked back at my plant and picked up it's pot and set it back down on top of the self it was originally on, thank God the pot was made of plastic.

The cat seemed to calm down as it had sat down and was just watching me as I went to the little closet and grabbed the broom and dustpan to clean up all the soil. Once I had gotten most of the soil cleaned up except for the ones stuck in the crack of the tile I put the broom and dustpan away.

I was just staring at the cat now trying to figure out what my next plan of action should be when I heard a knock on my door. I made my way over to the door when I heard the loud thud. I opened the door to see a tall lanky guy. I recognized him as my neighbor, him and I have never really talked but we would say hi to each other in the halls.

"C-can I help you?" He seemed to be looking behind me instead of straight at me.

"My cat is in your house", Oh that would make sense that this is his cat because why else would he be at Evan's house.

"Oh, ya you c-can just come in and get h-her", That statement seemed to be pointless though as the cat came running to my neighbor.

The cat started rubbing her head all on his legs until the boy picked her up, "Jesus Christ your covered in dirt".

He held her by her sides inspecting how dirty she was, "Ya she sort of g-got into my plants", I mumbled.

"Shit really?", He continued when he saw me nod in conformation, "Damn, let me make it up to you". He seemed to stand straighter and was now holding his cat under one of his arms as he leaned against the doorframe.

"Make it up t-to me?"

"Let me take you out to dinner tonight" He smoothly offered. I suddenly found the hangnail on my thumb very interesting as I tried to look at anything other than this cute boy in front of me.

"L-like a d-date" I bashfully looked up at him. Damn his eyes seemed to pierce into my very soul, why was this stranger making me so shy, well even more shy than usual.

"Yes".

I swiftly nodded my head, "O-okay t-then"

"Okay then", He repeated, he stood from his lean and was about to head back over to his apartment when he stopped and turned to look at me, "My name is Connor, by the way".

"Evan"
