Familiar Magic

Jalapeno and Jooni

Today Jooni would start to move in, I'd cleaned the apartment earlier today, currently, I was snuggled up with my fluffy black kitty, Jalapeno. I had chips in my lap, Jalapeno kept sticking his head in to steal chips from my bag. I then heard a jingle on the lock to my apartment, I panicked, got up quickly, grabbed a pillow and went to stand by the door ready to attack.

Jooni opened the door and stared at me as I was about to beat the hell out of him with a pillow, "Woah their pinky, not an intruder, just your friendly neighbor fox." He gave me a cheeky grin as he booped my nose, I let out a sigh of relief,
"Jeez Jooni knock next time, how did you even get in? Did you get a key?" Valid questions I should be asking someone that just walked into my house so suddenly.

Jalapeno was still on my couch eating chips, like the absolute chub lord he is. Jooni glanced over at the fat cat and sighed "Why do you have a fat pet rat?" How rude, I smacked the back of his head gently,
"Don't be mean to Jalapeno! He's a lovely kitty!" I crossed my arms and stomped over to my little kitty, I sat down beside the little kitten and pet his soft, floof covered head.

Jooni shrugged off her slight aggressive behavior and began to bring boxes into the living room, out of curiosity I began to look at the labels on the boxes, eventually I stopped snooping, got back up off the couch and began to help bring the smaller, lighter boxes into his new bedroom, where a bed was already waiting for him, courtesy of the school.

It took most of the day to get Jooni moved in, I helped him with organization, considering he clearly would have just thrown things all around the place if I hadn't been there, once his room was set up Jalapeno came in to check things at.

Later in the evening after ordering Chinese take out, we sat together on the couch, he was laying down with his head in my lap, he kept staring at me...my face felt hot too, am I blushing? Oh boy...was he noticing?
"I didn't know you turned any other color but orange and pink, red is new. I like it." He winked at me, that little bastard knew what he was doing to me. Oh lord, he knew.

I put my focus on the TV as we watched some silly cartoon that happened to be on. Eventually, I started to pet his head, I wasn't even thinking about what I was doing, before I realized, I was petting him...his tail was even wagging a little bit, he was kind of like Jalapeno, he liked pets, how cute...I continued to pet Jooni, playing with his super-soft ears and messing about with his hair. I guess I never really thought about how much of a pet he would be like, though I realize, I should never say that out loud to him. He seems like the type to become mad at something so insignificant and small, like comment as such. 

I started to doze off with him in my lap, I have no idea when I fell asleep or for how long, but when I woke I had a tiny fluffy silver fox, full fox form in my lap, if this wasn't considered bonding for my familiar class...I don't know what is, maybe going through school, and possibly the rest of my life with him wouldn't be so bad, I gently picked up the little fox and set him on the couch cushion beside me before wrapping him gently in a blanket, I then made my way to bed for the night. 
Before closing my door, I looked back at the tiny fox on the couch, then I closed my door as quietly as possible, before crawling into bed, and going to sleep.
