You sit in your room writing a paper for your class due the next day. Music quietly plays in the background to keep your mind from wandering due to the fact you were home alone. The last thing you wanted was for your mind to think every little noise you heard was some murder. You continue typing and getting frustrated randomly getting writers block right as you thought you were on a roll. As you place your face in your hands both exhausted and frustrated you hear something at your bedroom window. Pausing the music you listen a second time to see if the noise would happen again. Seconds pass with silence but as soon as you're about to listen to your music again the sound reemerges. A faint meow from the outside of your window. You look outside in the pouring rain and see a small cat desperately trying to get the attention of anyone who would listen. You put on your boots and grab your jacket exiting your house to see the cat. Looking cold, scarred and well fed it was obvious this was not a feral but someone's pet cat that either was lost or got stuck out in the rain. Once it sees you the small animal timidly makes its way over to you. Crouching down to be less intimidating to the animal it nuzzles up against you and purring at the sign it might get affection and warmth. Placing your hand face up close to the cat it sniffs it and continues to nuzzle against you. Slowly you reach for the animal and pick it up taking it into your home. Going through your fridge you realize you have some chicken. Ripping up a few pieces you put it on the ground for the tiny cat to eat. Immediately the cat attacks the food getting happy that its belly is now full. Realizing what time it was you start going back to your room with the cat following close behind. Finishing your paper at your desk you turn around to see that your new friend has curled itself up at the end of your bed and is now fast asleep. You crawl into your bed and know that after your class tomorrow you'll be looking for the owner of this cat.

The next morning you wake up to your favorite notification on your phone. Due to bad weather your class had been cancelled. As you're getting ready to go ask your neighbors about the cat you heard a knock at the door. You look through your tiny peep hole to see who it was. A man who looked around your age looked very worried and distraught on the other side. You open the door and his expression doesn't change but softens when you lock eyes. "hi um my names Mason. I live a couple houses down and my cat got out last night during the storm. Is there any chance you've seen her?". Like clockwork before you could answer your tiny new friend started purring and rubbing up against Mason's leg. He looks down and his expression goes from distress to pure joy and surprise. "She was meowing at my window last night, so I took her in and fed her. I was just about to go around and ask if anyone had lost her, but I guess you beat me to it." you say as he looks between you and the animal. The cat jumps up to Mason and he catches her with ease as she snuggles into the crook of his neck. "I see you got to stay with a very pretty girl last night you cheeky fuck" he says to the cat causing you to blush. "If there's anything I can do to repay you just name it and it's done" Mason says directing the words back to you. Growing a bit of confidence, you respond with a simple question. "How about a date?". A bit taken back but seemingly happy you pulled the trigger and not him he replied "absolutely". Before you could decide on what to do, the cat jumped from Mason's arms and you watch as she prances back into your house and curls up on your couch. You turn back to Mason as the storm starts to come through again and begins to down pour. "How about a movie night and a Chinese food dinner?" he suggests. "Sounds perfect you say closing the door behind him as you silently thank the little cat.
