Cat Instinct ~Prinxiety~

Chapter 7

In the end, Facade earned a lecture from Deceit and was let off with a warning.

Virgil was very tired and Roman offered to carry him.

"No, I'm fine," Virgil said while rubbing his eye. Then he felt Roman's arms sweep him off the ground. "Roman!"

"You said you were tired, so I'm gonna carry you. I can't risk anything with you..."

"Roman..."

~~~~~

When they got back to the mindscape, Virgil was sleeping in Roman's arms.

"Cutie..." Roman muttered and carried Virgil to his room.

He opened the door and put Virgil down on his bed. He pulled the covers over him and Virgil nuzzled into them.

"Sweet dreams, mi amore.~" Roman said and kissed his forehead.

He stayed in the room with Virgil just to make sure nothing happened to him. He couldn't risk another side kidnapping his kitten.

Then Virgil started to move around and fidget. Roman was alarmed.

'A nightmare?' Roman thought.

Then Virgil mewed and shape-shifted into an actual kitten. He woke with a fright and his small figure started shaking.

Roman scooped him up and held Virgil in his arms. He pet him slowly to help calm him down.

"It's okay, mi amore. I'm right here." Roman whispered.

Virgil looked up and mewed. He purred upon realizing it was Roman.

"Mew!" He mewed and nuzzled into him. Roman smiled and put him on the bed.

Silence.

"Aren't you going to turn back now?" Roman asked.

Virgil stayed silent, then started to freak out.

"Woah, woah, easy Virgil. What's wrong? Can't you turn back?"

Virgil shook his head.

"What do you mean? I can't speak kitten. No one here can! I don't think..."

Then Virgil hopped off of the bed and ran up to the door. He scratched the door, signaling Roman to let him out.

"Okay, okay. Here." Roman opened the door and Virgil bolted out of the room. Roman followed him all the way to the dark side of the mindscape.
