Marth had promised Robin that he would wait for him by the gate, but judging by the time, he doubted it was going to be very soon. He knew Robin liked to sleep in, since he usually stayed up pretty late reading.
It was early in the morning, about 6:45. The sky was still recovering from the dark as a few grey clouds swirled around, the sun barely over the horizon, but giving off a golden glow. Brilliant red birds sung their gentle songs as they hunted for worms, pecking at the dirt and hopping from one place to another. Marth found the world peaceful, sitting down and marveling at the beauty of the scene.
About thirty minutes later, Robin ran up to Marth, holding his bag with a dorky smile painted on his features. Marth didn't question it, since the short tactician was usually always in a blissful mood.
When nonstop giggles didn't cease escaping the white-haired boys mouth, Marth patted his head, asking, "What's so funny, Robin?"
He stopped walking for a minute, unzipping his backpack, although part of it was already unzipped. Inside was a small white kitten, constantly mewing until Robin picked it up and nuzzled it.
"You got a kitten?!" Marth asked with a look of shock, kneeling down to get a better look at the fuzzy creature. It was the exact same color as Robin's hair, and through gentle pets to both of their heads, it was the same texture as well. The little kitten even had the same color eyes as the tactician. He climbed up onto Robin's head, curled up, and purred happily.
"Yeah!" He bubbled, his eyes lit up as if he were a young child surrounded by bags of candy. Marth couldn't help but smile at his innocent bliss. "I don't think that the school is gonna allow a cat in there."
A mischievous smirk formed on Robin's face as he stood up, plucking the cat off of his head and placing it back in his backpack, sure not to zip it up all the way. "That's why I'm sneaking him. Lissa suggested to name him Worm... but I'm not sure if I should name my cat Worm."
"Name it Bluejay or something." Marth shrugged, not exactly caring anymore. Robin hummed in thought, thinking of some bird names. "Oh! I'll name him Oriole!"
"There you go, buddy." Marth gave the others hair a gentle ruffle as they walked into their classroom, Robin seated with a rather evil smirk. There were quiet mews and sounds escaping his bag, alerting a few of the others, but surprisingly, not the teacher, Manuela. She just seemed to look around at all the students with a smile on her face.
Peach looked at Marth with a rather confused expression, averting her eyes back to Robin's bag, which of course, had little dragon keychains on it. "The fuck-"
He sighed and whispered in her ear, "He got a kitten."
She gasped. Very loudly. "OMG KIT-"
"Shhhh-"
He placed his finger over her lips. "I don't want him to get caught..."
"Oop-" She smiled awkwardly. "Sorry sksksksks-"
He gave her an anamused look before listening to Manuela talk, a look of extreme boredom painted on his face.

Robin was sitting down on the soft couch at home, cuddled up to his little kitty friend. Needless to say, Lucina was jealous, so she bought a white cat ear headband and kept on screaming "MEOW" in his ear.
Oriole was more important. He just ignored her.
That only made her start screaming even more.
Eventually, Palutena had enough of the screaming and snatched the cat away from Robin, holding it over his head. Being the smol boi he was, he couldn't reach it. Using Elwind would be bad, he would crash up into the ceiling. It's happened.
It's happened way too many times.
"Give him back!" Robin yelled, continuing to jump, only getting little snickers from Palutena. "I think you have another kitty you have to care for."
Robin looked back at Lucina, who looked pissed. He sat back down, a small pout painted on his face as Lucina climbed in his lap, curling up into a ball. Oriole didn't really put up a fight due to his immense sleepiness.
"Can I have my cat back now-"
"MEOW" Lucina screamed.
Palutena simply laughed at the two, giving them each a pat on the head. Roy wanted to pet the cat, while Pit screamed.
"IT'S GONNA EAT MY WINGS LIKE CHICKEN-"
"Shut up Pit-" Samus groaned.
Palutena set the cat in Zelda's arms, since she only trusted her at this time, since Ike was busy jerking off in the bedroom to Samus pictures, and Marth was busy with Caeda, out shopping for some presents for Navarres birthday. He only wanted knives.
Shulk and Link were building a treehouse for their "gang activities," aka Pokemon card tournament.
Zelda held the little sleepy kitten in her arms, confused on what to do with it. She then suggested to Robin, "We should buy some stuff for him."
"Good idea! Luci, can I get up?"
"NO, LET IT DIE- just kidding." She sat up as Robin slowly got up, his amber eyes glaring at her with bad intentions.
Zelda awkwardly handed him his cat back. "Uh, let's go now."
He snapped out of it as soon as he had his little cat back, joyfully skipping out to the car. Zelda shook her head, smiling as she followed him.
