The Purrfect Encounter - Moxiety

SOULMATE SEPTEMBER

Day 3: You have an animal that only you and your soulmate can see.

˜*˜

Patton walked down the street, a happy skip in his steps and a small purple flower he had found on the side of the street in his hair.

To most people, having to go to work would be something they didn't look forwards to, but for the father like persona was the highlight of his day. He worked in a small pet shop with one of his best friends and he loved playing with the cute puppies.

That day, though, on his way to work, the happy tune he was humming was interrupted by a loud meowing coming from above him. Patton stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes immediately widening and following the sound to the top of a tree.

He rushed over right away, crossing the road and almost getting ran over by a car and bumping right into the small guy waiting under the tree.

His eyes lowered immediately, his cheeks reddening as he extended an hand to help the poor guy up.

"I am so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! I was trying to see where the kitty was on the tree so that I could help it down! I didn't see you, I'm freaking clumsy!"

Virgil stopped listening to the man rambled apologies, staring at him wide eyed.

He was so tall he towered over him, and despite looking like a big teddy bear, his broad shoulder and slightly buff built still made him look kind of threatening; nonetheless, the threatening vibe was immediately demolished by his big, bright, kind blue eyes, hiding behind the gold-rimmed glasses.

It took the emo looking guy a second to realize why the stranger bumped into him in the first place.

"You-you can see her too?" He said, stuttering anxiously.

Patton let out a sweet and gentle laugh. "of course I see her too, silly! I'm not blind!"

Virgil just stared at him wide eyed for a couple of seconds. It was common knowledge that everyone had an animal that only one's soulmate could see, so how come this man didn't realize what he-

"Wait." Patton said stopping abruptly, his eyebrows furrowed and his cheeks turning red. "Do you mean to tell me not everyone can see her?"

Patton's eyes widened as he watched the small guy good his head slowly, his cheeks growing redder and redder.

"Does that mean that we are..." He asked leaving the question hanging in the air. Once again, Virgil nodded making the other's small smile widen as far as it could go, a loud squeal coming out of his mouth.

Suddenly, the big guy was enveloping him in a big bear hug making the small immediately tense up, not expecting any physical contact.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy to have finally found you! Now we can go on dates, bake together, watch movies together, you could come to the pet shop I work at with me and," Patton gasp, his eyes shining with excitement and his arms holding Virgil a little tighter, "oh my gosh, we could pet dogs together! Do you like dogs?! You do don't you? I meant, come on, who doesn't like puppies- wait, what's your name?"

Finally stopping rambling, Patton put the smaller at arm length, looking at him with a bright smile which dimmed almost immediately when, after taking a step back with wide and surprised eyes, Virgil turned on his heels and ran away.

He almost felt tears building up in his eyes. He didn't mean to scare him! He just wanted to show him how happy he was!

Patton had always been like a human Golden Retriever, just wanting to show love to everyone and sometimes it was hard for him to understand that not everyone was comfortable with hugs and physical contact.

So, he just decided to continue on his way to work, his head hanging low and his bright smile no where to be seen and the small purple floor falling from his hair. He didn't even know his name.

˜*˜

When the next day rolled around, Patton was already in the store, playing with a small Golden Retriever puppy.

"I already told you Logan, there's no way I could find him again, I don't even know his name! I ruined everything!" He said, quickly drying the tears that threatened to spill.

Logan sighed exasperated for what felt the thousandth time that day. In that moment he really did wish his soulmate Roman was there to help him, he was much better at helping people with love related problems.

"Patton, once again, you're jumping to a conclusion, this town is small, it's not unlikely for you to meet him again and-"

Suddenly he was interrupted by the door opening and pushed voices entering the store, making Logan immediately walk to the front, Patton getting top and following with the pup in his hands.

"Listen Emo, this is the last pet shop in town, I'm sure you'll find him, it's not a big deal! I'm sure he'll- Hi Love- understand why you ran away!" Roman said interrupting himself only to give a blushing Logan a small peck on the lips.

"You can not know that Princey! What if he hates me? What if he-" Only then did Virgil noticed a wide eyed Patton staring at him from the doorway leading to the back of the store, the small golden retriever puppy squirming in his big hands, making him look even smaller than he already was.

"Hey," He whispered softly, offering the emo a soft and careful smile.

Virgil took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart before shoving his hand forward, holding a small bouquet of purple flowers.

"I'm sorry for running away yesterday I got very anxious and I didn't know what to do or say so I ran away but I don't want you to hate me because you're my soulmate and I like you and you have a really nice smile and I don't want to watch it disappear again and someone told me that I should probably run to my soulmate, not from my soulmate, so..." He stopped, taking a deep breath, "I'm sorry."

Patton just chuckled, gently grabbing the flowers from his slightly shaking hand.

"Thank you. And I understand don't worry, I know I can be... a lot sometimes." Then, before he could change his mind or chicken out of it, he went to give Virgil a small peck on the cheek. Clearly though, someone had different plans, because as soon as he was close enough, giving plenty of time to Virgil to move away in case he wanted to, Roman bumped into him with his hip, making his lips stray from his original path and land instead on the others lips.

Patton immediately got away, blushing almost as much as Virgil, and gasping loudly.

"Roman!" Patton said shocked as Logan punched his boyfriend in the arm.

"What?!" He said laughing. "I was just playing match maker!"

"Well your name is Roman not Cupid, you dipshit, so cut it off." Virgil grumbled, making the princely guy gasp in fake offense.

"Uh, bitch, yeah, it's not Cupid but it is Eros who was the god of love in Ancient Greece... It was Ancient Greece right Logan?" He asked, his voice filtering for a second as he whispered towards his boyfriend who was just quietly face-palming. He grinned triumphal when he saw him nodding. "Fuck yeah, it was ancient Greece, I'm a genius! And I have every right to play match maker!"

There were a few seconds of silence, before everyone broke out laughing. Needless to say, that day became Patton's favorite memory.
