Within Their World

Kitten Gets a Cat

Ares' POV

      "I want a baby." Thomas tells me as I lay my head on his chest and I hum in response, knowing not to let myself get too excited.

       "Then let's have a baby." I tell him, going along with the script we've been using for the past few months. We have this conversation at least once every two weeks and after the third time, I had given up hope.

         "But we're not ready. I'm not ready. I don't want to fuck this up." He tells me with a whimper and I look at him sadly as he plays with my tossed hair. My kitten has been wanting someone to take care of and hold a bond with besides me and while he wants a baby, we both know that we still haven't bounced back completely from what we went through.

      I don't have the delusion that the two of us with ever be exactly the same after what happened, but I do know that we have a little more healing and growing to do before we add a mini version of us to the mix.

     Which is exactly why I hatched a plan and surprise for my sweet spitfire that will hopefully hold us over until the two of us are ready.

     "Let's watch a movie." I offer and he looks down at me with sad eyes at break my heart.

      "Do you resent me for not being ready yet?" He asks me, his pale hazel eyes sad and so obviously broken as he asks. I push myself up on to my elbows and grab one of his hands before pressing it to my mouth.

       "I will never resent you. Much less for knowing when you aren't ready for such a big step. I'm proud of you." I tell him and he sighs while looking at me before tugging on my hair playfully. And though I know the intent was to be teasing, it only makes my cock twitch against the bed, but Ignore it knowing my kitten is more important than fucking him.

      I can always fit that in later.

      I smirk to myself as I shake away the thoughts in my head, knowing they'll only leave me with blue balls.

       "You're the sweetest." He tells me and I bask in the compliment before his bratty ass has to ruin the moment. "It makes me sick." He says gagging at me and I bare my fangs at him pouncing on his smaller body before peppering kisses on his face and scraping my teeth fading his skin until he's a laughing blushing mess. m
  
       "For someone that makes you sick, you sure do like me a lot."  I tease him but he only rolls his eyes and pushes my face away.

       "I tolerate you because I'm the bigger man here. You're still just a cocky rude asshole." He tells me even as his cheeks heat up softly at the way I'm looking at him, my gaze struggling to support all the adoration that I have for my sweet kitten.

         "And you're still my stubborn little kitten." I tell him and he nods to me in approval.

        "As I should be."

        Now that Thomas is at work, it's time for me to finally get the surprise I've been working on all month. When I had called around to a couple of places, I had finally found one that had exactly like I was looking for.
    
      I gather my keys and other necessities in my pocket and hands before I leave the apartment and make my way down the stairs to the first floor, turning down the hallway to reach the door at the end. Not bothering to knock, I twist the knob and walk in on Chan gazing off into space, looking at with an unsurprised gaze.

     "I'm guessing you're the reason I saw a cat in my sleep?" He says and I grin with a nod.

      Since Thomas isn't ready to have a kid, I though the next best thing would be to get my spitfire a pet that he can form a bond with and take care of the way he needs right now.
