Neko: My Kitten

7- You filled up my emptiness

That night was the best sleep Felix ever had. It was the first time he felt safe and comfortable in a warm bed, with of course a warm body next to him.

By the time he woke up, it was close to afternoon.
He blinked a few times before he stretched his arms and back, waking up see Chan was gone.

"Channie...?" He lifted his head to look around for the older. When he heard no response, he got out of bed to walk around the place.

"Channie....?" He called again as he tried sniffing his scent for him, but couldn't smell him anywhere. That's when he saw a sheet of paper next to a plate of waffles on the table.

Good Morning Kitten,
I hope you slept well! Here is breakfast for you.
I had to go to work, but I'll be back soon around 5. I'll have a surprise for you too :)
Have fun being home, but behave.
-Chan

"A surprise??" Felix jumped up and down as soon as he read that. He didn't know what Chan meant by surprise but he was excited.

He happily ate his breakfast, cleaning up afterwards. Felix didn't know what to do, he wondered around Chan's place inspecting everything. He found a small workout room. Then he found another room with a computer and multiple screens, as well as a bookcase he began to look through.

While looking through the books, he noticed they were all medical and science related. Then he came upon one that was different.

"Case study: 01 Heterochromia in humans"

He read out loud to himself. He opened it and flipped through the pages, amazed at the research he found. He sat down on the couch in the back of the room, reading through it all.

"What causes Heterochromia....?"
He mumbled as he read the entire section of it. He continued reading that before he knew it, an hour had passed and he finished the book until he got to the last page.

So that's how my eye... was born like this...

He thought to himself as he realized the root of his eye color.

Once he flipped to the last page, he saw additional references. Reading down, that's when he saw Chan's name.

"Research Case Study: 01 , published by Christopher (Chan)Bang"

Felix blinked a few times before it settled in his brain.

"That means... Chan wrote this? And his real name is Christopher?" He giggled like he just found out a secret. He put the book back, skipping back into the kitchen.

Hmm.... what should I do next?

He decided on taking a shower, and then slipping on more of Chan's lounge clothes he found in his closet.

Felix wanted to go outside, but didn't want to go without Chan's permission. So he only did what he thought of, and that was clean his Condo.

The Condo was already tidy, but Felix thought it wouldn't hurt if it was sparkling clean.
He looked around for cleaning supplies, finding them in a closet. Right away he started dusting and cleaning things. Polishing the furniture, sweeping.

A few hours had passed, but he was still counting down the time for Chan to come home.

I miss him....

He pouted as he sat on the floor playing with his tail. It was about 3 more hours until Chan came home, that's when an idea popped into his head.

"I'll make dinner for Chan!"

He didn't know how to cook really, but he thought it surely couldn't be hard to make spaghetti again like Chan made for them last night. He looked around the kitchen and pantry for ingredients, meowing when he found them.

Afterwards he found the pots to cook with, setting them on the burner. He filled one pot with water to boil as he tried reading the instructions on the box on how long to cook the pasta. Of course while he was reading, he got distracted when he saw a bird at the window.

"Birdy!" He meowed as he ran to the window to watch it. His tail twitched all over as the bird hopped on the railing of the balcony.

Small meows and growls came out of him as he watched it, only for him to jump when he heard the pot boiling over behind him.

"Shit!" He ran back to the stove to turn the burner off, but the hot water spilled on his arm as he tried to move it to the sink.

"AAAH!" He screeched as it burned his arm, now leaving a red mark. He whimpered a bit at the burn, but ignored the pain. He was used to much worse from strangers...

Felix grabbed the box of pasta, pouring it into the water once it stopped boiling. Just as he turned around to look for a spoon, he didn't realize the water on the floor.

He screeched a loud meow as he fell flat on his butt and tail, landing on it.

*MEOW*

"Ow.... I forgot... this is why I don't cook..." he whined as he tried getting up. Now his tail hurt and his ass.

He just shook his head as he got up to look for a spoon.  Just as soon as he did, he heard the front door open.

"Lix? I'm home!"

Felix looked around to see the kitchen a complete mess, and oh did he have some explaining to do....
