It was.. much later.. almost three months later. Tyler and Brandon had started the average couple fights, which some of them lead to Brandon huffing then storming out into either rain, sun, or.... cloudy weather.

He wouldn't come back for hours at a time, always going to the same spot, the café down the street. "Cat time café." It was small, cute, cozy... it even had cats walking around the little place, purring and rubbing against people. Especially the well known customers, like Brandon! He had a black cat with white around it's mouth named Lux that would always purr and sit exactly where Brandon would sit.

Brandon quite honestly loved that cat in the café.. reminded him of Tyler.. quiet, kept to himself, didn't lash out unless highly Provoked.. that would then make Brandon start to cry, Lux would notice and slowly slide himself in Brandon's lap, make biscuits, then curl up in the others lap while the male cried.

Today was no different, Brandon was in a small fit of rage due to Tyler's internet shutting down and crashing his entire video. It wiped out most of his files too and fucked up his computer.. bad.

Brandon went to Tyler's room and tried to stay calm but instead sounded aggressive as he growled about the internet "swiping all of my files" away. That's when the yelling grew more apparent, Brandon had lost the argument again then ran downstairs silently, threw on his shoes and ran out into the pouring rain down to Cat time café.

His cheeks were flushed with angered sadness as he approached, soon he got there then slowly opened the door breathing hard and scooting over to where he normally sat.. Lux wasn't there..
Brandon's heart sank.
"Tawnya... where's Lux..." The woman shook her head sadly, she had been crying as it seemed.

"T-they put him down, B.." was all she could say before breaking down and excusing herself away. Brandon felt awful, first it was Tyler and now his Lux.. that cat was old, but not unhealthy..
"I-oh.. I-I'm so sorry.." was all he could mutter before breaking down and crying into his knees.

Brandon was a mess, he tried to stay quiet, he really did.. but what happened next, slightly startled him. Five or so cats, four that were small black kittens with little rings of white waddled over to him. A large, fluffy, black and white female Persian cake walking over as well..

Brandon had never seen her before, he slowly peaked out from his knees then saw the kittens start to climb over the sofa to get to him.. the black and white female leapt up, looking to Brandon before walking into his lap and curling up.

He was hesitant to pet her as the kittens swarmed around Brandon and climbed all over him. That was when he smiled, the tears kept coming though. He then heard a woman chuckling, glancing up he saw Tawnya, tears brimming her eyes again as she watched.

"I see Lux's kittens and girlfriend took a liking to you." She mumbled happily.
"Th-these are his kittens?" Brandon was smiling, petting the female cat. He had never heard of this! "Why didn't I know about this?"
"You never asked, silly! We.. unfortunately need to put the kittens up for adoption so if y-"
"I'll take one." He spoke quickly, gently grabbing the one from his head and looking at it with a smile. The cat seemed to smile back as it mewed quietly.

"I'll take this boy." Slowly, he set the kitten on his shoulder before moving the mother and slowly standing up. Kittens moving away onto the couch so he could start walking, the kitten he wanted on his shoulder.
"How much?"
Tawnya just smiled and shook her head.
"Free, just for you. Lux would be happy your someone who will adopt one of his kind."

With that, Brandon smiled wide before moving off back to the house... Tyler...
he was ok...
Brandon put the kitten lovingly named Lux II, into his hood then walked home.
