-Be the nubby gay troll-

I rolled out of bed that morning to see that Dave wasn't there. I glanced at the clock. 9:32 Alright it was pretty late, I should get up. Dave ran in and dropped a pair of jeans on my head. 

"C'mon dude we got somewhere to be," he said before running out again. I grumbled something then got up and pulled on some clothes. I padded out to the kitchen where Rose and Kanaya had already left for work. Dave threw a Pop-tart at me and then grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door. 

"Where are we going?" I asked as he pulled me into the elevator.

"Pet adoption center is offering discounts, and I want a cat," he said, pulling me along, "Its this way." It was nice walking with Dave, holding hands. We stopped in front of a little shop with a sign over the door that said Travos's Pets. I looked at Dave.

"Wait, I thought Travos died-" he started to ask. "This is Jake and Janes kid," He answered. "Lets check out some cats." We walked in and immediately the smell of full litter box's hit my nose. The cats ranged in size from kittens to grumpy big ones. Dave pointed out a little tabby kitten that kept wobbling and falling over. "Awwwwww" I gushed at the tiny kitten, "Its so cute!" Dave grinned and put his hand up to the glass. The little guy swatted at it and fell over. The part of my heart that Dave hadn't gotten melted. "Dave, can we get him?"

"Sure," he said with a smile at me. "Miss, how much does this little guy cost?" He walked over to handle things and I turned back to the little cat. It flopped over and its collar jangled. The name on the tag read Crush. "Crush, huh?" I asked as he flopped down and knocked over the water bowl. Dave came over and scooped up the kitten. "No, Dave let me hold him!" I pouted. He laughed and carefully handed him to me. We walked back to the apartment with Crush all curled up in my arms, he was so adorable. 

Once we got back, he jumped out of my arms and curled up on the couch, his tiny body barely covering one cushion. I sat down and Dave wrapped around us both. Thats how Rose and Kanaya found us a few hours later, passed out.
