Dancat "One Big City, One Small Cat"

The Search

*Dan's POV*

I was so anxious as we walked the streets of the place I once called home, it was 6:12 and we finally got out to look for Stampy. I don't know what to do with myself without him, I adapted a habit of squeezing his hand when I'm nervous or upset but here my hand was Alone and vulnerable to the world around it. We were looking everywhere we could we had already been in several small businesses  and stopped multiple people on the street asking if they seen him. But of course life had to be a pain in the Ass and no one has seen hide or hair of him. All I wanted was to know he was safe I mean is that so much to ask?!

I sighed deeply as we waited outside of a bakery place or something I didn't really know what it was but some of the guys had to use the can.

"what am I going to do without you Stamps......" I muttered as I leaned against the building while looking up at the strange gray skies.

"Oh my god did you see that news post this morning?!"

I looked over to see some girls looking pretty excited about something.

"Yeah I can't believe that guy ran into that burning building, he saved like four kids it was amazing!" one girl squealed in amazement.

"yeah you don't meet many guys like that anymore you know like being selfless and junk like that, though he was actually pretty cute did you see the picture of him they put up?" a girl who was also leaning against the wall said while blowing out a puff of smoke from her cigarette.

"yeah he was pretty cute, he was absolutely adorable with those big ole cat ears on top his head........do you think he's single?" the shortest of the girls giggled as she playfully bounced her eyebrows.

wait did she say cat ears......

"Hey uh you girls over there!" I waved to them trying to get their attention, they looked over at me looking me up and down before the one with the cigarette got in front of the other three while looking at me as if I was going to try and fight her or some biz.

"whatcha want buddy?" she said as she crushed her cigarette in her hand and tossed it remains on the concrete below.

"look I'm sorry to bother you Im just looking for my Boyfriend....and I'm really worried right now, he didn't come home for the past day and a half and im just asking around to see if anyone has seen him...." I had to lie a little bit so I tried to play it cool, I mean technically it ins't a lie. Im worried beyond hell and I want to see my boyfriend safe in my arms.

The lady looked me up and down before letting out a deep sigh.

"What does he look like?"

I frantically reached for my wallet that I had in my jean pocket thank grob it didn't fall out when I fell back into my world. When I finally got it out a took out the picture I had of Stampy when we were at the fair, he was eating an ice cream and he got some of it on his nose, he was absolutely adorable. I held up the picture to the girls and watched as their eyes went wide.

"Yo your dating the guy from the news?!" the shortest of them gasped as she looked at the picture.

"The guy from the news? what are you talking about?"

"Dude that guy is like famous right now, he ran into a burning freakin building to save like four kids man!" one of the girls said as she pulled out her phone and began to vigorously tap on its screen.

She held up her phone for me to see, it was on some sort of news alert app and there right there was a picture of Stampy, his hoodie was torn along with one of his sleeves were completely missing along with being covered in bandages and had a little bruise under his left eye.
