Neko's Aren't Toys

Chapter 6 Get Up! And Go Out! With Me and All My Friends!

It's been a few months since that night, now the others happily oblige to help him during his heat. Virgil can't help but feel pampered, as if they had given him the world. It makes him wonder, what did he do to deserve them. Yes he'd give them the world if he could, but what did he do to deserve their love? (He existed)
Nothing, absolutely nothing. They'll realize and kick you out for being a gold digger. You're a worthless freak, you don't deserve them.
I-I, don't...? You're right... I don't. But they'd be sad if I left, so I should stay until they realize it too. Then when they kick me out, I'll know it was my fault.
That'll be very soon
I know
Virgil got out of bed, glad that his morning thoughts were a bit more mellow this time. He went downstairs in his pjs, and saw Logan and Patton cleaning the kitchen, while Roman was vacuuming the living room.
"Is today a cleaning day?"
"Oh hey kiddo! No, we have some friends coming over to hang out so we're tidying up!"
"Need some help?"
"No, we're almost done here. Why don't you go check with Roman?"
"Okay."
Virgil walked over to the living room, it was a little messy so he tapped Roman's shoulder. When Roman turned around and turned off the vacuum, he asked his question.
"Need some help? The other two are almost done in the kitchen."
"Uh, not really. I'm almost done here. Why don't you check the dinning room for anything?"
"Sure."
The dining room was pretty clean, just some crumbs on the floor and table. He did a quick sweep of the floor and wiped off the table. He had just finished and put things away when the doorbell rang. He stood in the doorway of the dining room to watch. The first couple to come in was a Roman doppelgänger with a handlebar moustache and a dapper-looking young man. The doppelgänger had a snake tattoo around his wrist, the dapper guy had a squid tattoo on his forearm.
"Hey Remus! How ya been Janus?"
"Good enough, and you?"
"Never been better! We got a new addition! Virgil, you wanna come out?"
Virgil came out to the living room where they were.
"Eeeee! Neko!"
Remus came over and scooped him up in a bear hug. Virgil was startled, but not overall scared.
"Uh, hi?"
Remus put him down and pet his hair, Virgil purred happily.
"Hiya! I'm Remus, Roman's twin."
"Oh, that makes sense. Nice to meet you."
"You too! You're a cute little thing!"
"I have to agree. Anyways, Logan. Scale of one to ten?"
"A five since he came. He helped them calm down a bit."
"Huh, maybe we should get one."
"If you do, make sure they don't get a sugar rush. They start vibrating and they basically gain super speed until they crash."
"Really? Wow, that's new."
"Yeah, Patton ordered a few too many pumps of caramel in his Starbucks drink."
"Did someone say Starbies?"
"Remy!"
"I'm here too."
"Thomas!"
"Hey guys!"
"Joan!"
"I'm here!"
"Talyn!"

"How many friends do you guys have?"
"Quite a few, don't worry we didn't invite them all. If we did, it'd be an actual party."
"Oh dear God please no."
"Yeah, that was the last two. Now, who's up for Clue?"
Twelve games later...
"How do you keep beating everyone?!"
"I don't know."
"How'd you beat me at poker? I always win at poker."
"Forget that, we should get you a bank account and to a casino. You'd get rich in a day."
"How old are ya Kid? 19?"
"I'm 21! I'm not that short."
"Uhh, sure... anyways, let's do a few more!"
Thirteen games later...
"How are you so good at Just Dance? You've never played before."
"Not with you. I've had nice owners before."
"What happened to them?"
"Lots of things. Mostly dead, sometimes they abandoned me, one of them lost their house so they sold me. That's it"
"Maybe you wasted all your bad luck and that's why you're so good at gambling."
"Maybe."
Remus started petting Virgil's hair again.
"Not that I'm complaining, but why are you touching my hair so much?"
"No reason, your hair is just really soft and you obviously like it."
"Oh, okay."
"Not that I'm complaining either babes, but are those pjs?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot to change. I'll go do that."
Virgil had on an oversized sweater that covered his shorts, making it look like he didn't have anything on underneath.
"Are you wearing pants?"
"Yeah, they're just short."
Virgil went into his room and changed into black skinny jeans and a purple t-shirt. When he came out, Remy simply said "oh, shoulda known he was an emo."
"What?! Black goes well with my fur!"
"Sure babes. Let's go to Starbies!"
"Yay!"
