A Fox and a Tiger

A day out

Ace stood in front of the stove. She decided to make scrambled eggs for breakfast since she was going out, something the tiger rarely does. So that means she needs all the energy she can get from her first meal.

Ahri, on the other hand, was in the room, contemplating how much of an idiot she looked in front of Ace. The whole thing can't be her fault, right? It's not her fault Ace was so big and warm. That's the way Ace was and Ahri was attracted to that.

She felt so... right. Being there... close to her. Ugh! What am I thinking! Ahri cupped her face, groaning, and flopping back on the bed.

"So have you made a move?" Leon asked.

Ace pressed her lips into a thin line. "No," She grumbled.

The lion raised a brow. "Oooh, So what are you going to do?"

"Nothing," Ace responded. "I'm going to coast and it'll blow over."

Leon choked on his cup of coffee. "W-what?" He coughed.

"Yeah,"

The lion put his cup down. "You're telling me that the Grace Addams is going to coast out her own feelings?" Ace growled at the forbidden name. Leon knew he made a mistake when mentioning Ace's name. The two had been best friends since birth basically so Leon knows when he crosses a line.

"Sorry, It's just that... I don't want Ahri to find out." Ace says, feeling troublesome about her own thoughts and actions. "I mean, yeah, I wanna tell her at some point, b-but I don't want to drop a nuke on her. We're roommates and Ahri would have nowhere to go if I told her, so it's... it'd be awkward for us."

Leon reaches over and rests a hand on Ace's shoulder. "It's okay," He says with some reassurance.

Ace smirks and looks at Leon. "Thanks,"

"Now go tell her you're into her and that'll-"

"Oh, my gods! I'm not going to tell her-"

"It's totally fine!"

The two friends continue to bicker back and forth. Ace wanting to hide her secret and Leon encouraging her to tell Ahri and get it over with.

Speak of Ahri, the fox had pulled on a nice sundress and slippers. She curled her hair which, in return, made her curls bounce. She looked beautiful.

Ahri walked of the room ready to go when she saw Leon and Ace bickering like kids. The two stopped when Leon caught Ahri standing out in the open.

His gaze caught Ace's attention who then turned to Ahri. Both large cats look at Ahri for a strong moment or so.

She's beautiful. Ace thought.

Ahri, feeling somewhat embarrassed for being the center of attention, awkwardly smiles and waves. "Hi."

Leon turns back to Ace with a devilish smirk. "Go get 'em, tiger!" He explains, giving Ace finger guns and walking away.

Ace glares down the lion as he walks away, an ear flicking in annoyance.

Ahri is more confused than anything. "What was that about?"

"Nothing, Leon is just being an idiot." Ace responded, turning her attention back to the eggs on the stove. "Why aren't these eggs cooking?"

"You forgot to turn on the stove!" Leon shouted from his room.

Ace facepalmed. She flicked on the stove, grumbling some colorful words.

An ear flopped to the side as Ahri stood by and watched. "Was he bothering you?"

"Leon is just being a dumbass." Ace responds. "It's the normal thing FOR A LION TO DO!!" She yelled extra loud just to make sure Leon heard her. "Anyway, after breakfast we can go out."
