Chatalie and Debugnair

Chapter 21- Soft Kitty

"Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur. Happy kitty, sleepy kitty, purr, purr, purr." Gabriel sang gently to his kitty as she laid asleep, cuddled up on Gabriel's chest. He kept stroking her hair as if it were a reflex, not stopping for anything. Well, except for one thing. He had snuck out his phone to record her purring, but that only took a few seconds. He smiled as she continued her purring, "I wove you Gwabwiel." Nathalie mumbled as she purred. Gabriel blushed and smiled, kissing her hair gently. But then he realized; she didn't actually love him. It was all because of that stupid trance. Because he had to save her. Because he loved her. But she, she didn't love him in return. "No, you don't love me, Nathalie. I put that in your head, you never loved me in the first place. I was going to give you this," He pulled a ring out from his pocket, "But now I remember that you don't love me. After you rejected me earlier, my hope was lost, but then it came back when you started purring, but now it's lost again." He clenched it in his fist and said, "Just keep this, please." He slipped it gently on her finger, kissing it as he laid her hand down. He sighed, "I love you my kitty." Nathalie purred, "I wove you too." Gabriel smiled, kissing her gently as he stroked her hair. "Do you wanna sleep together like this?" Nathalie purred, saying yes in her own way. Gabriel smiled, "I'll be right back kitty." He gently pushed her off of him, climbing out of the bed and going to the chair, grabbing his clothes. He walked into the bathroom and quickly changed into his pajamas, waking back out. He combed his fingers through his hair, soothing it out before climbing into bed besides Nathalie, setting his glasses down on the side table. "You wanna come back and cuddle my darling?" Nathalie let out a small purr in response. Gabriel smiled and laid down, pulling her close to him. She cuddled up close to him, laying on his side. Gabriel wrapped an arm around her, stoking her hair gently as he started drifting off to sleep, cuddled up next to his Nathalie. ~ Tikki and Plagg sat on the couch, hanging out with each other. "So Sugarcube, what do you think of their gross little relationship?" Tikki sighed, "It's not gross Plagg, it's adorable. I love it, and it's much better than your cheese." Plagg scoffed offendedly, clinging onto to his precious piece of Camembert, "Mind you, this cheese is more amazing than their little relationship ship will be." He threw the cheese up in the air, eating it in one bite as it came down. Tikki sighed again, "Whatever." ~ The next morning, Gabriel woke up with Nathalie still cuddled up to him. "Morning kitty." He said gently, smiling down at the woman he loved. Nathalie purred and looked up, "Hey Gabriel. What am I doing on top of you?" Gabriel sighed with a smile, "Nothing, just cuddling." Nathalie sighed, "Gabriel, I don't, I do, but I don't-" "Shhh, it's ok kitty. I know, I know." He stroked her hair gently and sighed, "The doctors should be here soon, do you want me to go?" Nathalie shook her head, "No, please stay, I want you here with me." Gabriel smiled and nodded, "Alright then, I'll go get dressed." Nathalie nodded back and gently moved off of him, letting him get up. He climbed out of the bed, walking over to his backpack. He pulled out a pair of clothes and said, "I'll be right back." Nathalie sighed, "Ok." He walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. With a huff, he leaned sharply against the counter. He looked up in the mirror, staring at his own, half-happy, half-sad reflection. "Why am I so upset? I love her, and she kinda loves me, so we should be happy...right?" He sighed and took off his pajama shirt and walked back out to Nathalie, "I'm gonna take a quick shower, ok?" Nathalie nodded, "Ok." Gabriel nodded as well and closed the door again, taking off his clothes. He turned on the shower and got inside, letting all of his thoughts come to him. ~ Nathalie sat on the bed quietly, not making except for a singular yawn that came. When Gabriel walked out, Nathalie had no words left. Seeing him shirtless like that, it was the best thing that has happened to her in a while. Well, she contemplated that. This, love if you would call it, that she had for him was only because he made her have it. She didn't actually love him. Yet, she felt an urge to be held in his arms, kissing him and holding him. The other part of her though, wanted to kick him in the balls. She sighed, she just didn't know anymore. She loved him dearly, yet it didn't seem right. Some felt strange within her, yet she couldn't figure out what. She started getting really nauseous all of a sudden. She grabbed a trash can from the bedside and threw up in it, feeling miserable for the time being. "W-what?!" She mumbled, "It must be the meds..." She grabbed a pill bottle and read, 'SIDE EFFECTS INCLUDE NAUSEA...' She sighed, "Yep, it's just the meds." She sat the trash can down and moaned, she did not feel well at all. ~ Gabriel stood there in the shower for a while, staying quiet as the water rushed down on top of him. He sighed as he finished up, stepping out and drying himself with a towel. He got dressed quickly, making his way back out into the room, "NATHALIE!" He yelled as soon as he saw her condition, "Oh my god, are you ok?!" He rushed over to her, kneeling down at her side. Nathalie muttered sweetly, "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just a side effect of the meds, that's all." She gave him an assuring smile. Gabriel sighed, "If you say so."
