Chapter 19

I rolled over and opened my eyes only to find I was faced with black fur. “Hey, Levi… you transformed. Wake up. I want to cuddle you.” After that amazing first date I was hoping to wake up to his sleeping face.

He woke up and yawned before meowing. He rolled back over and nuzzled under my head.

I sighed and stroked his black fur. “Seriously… transform. You’re cute as fuck and I admit that, but I want to look at your sexy body.” I tried to joke with him, but he just pawed at my chest and curled up next to it, purring loudly. I sighed and nuzzled his black fur. He still smelled like him. This wasn’t a joke, not that I thought Levi would replace himself with a different cat as a joke. I kissed his head and nodded. “Alright. We’ll sleep a little longer.”

~~~

Levi didn’t transform all day.

~~~

Or the day after that.

~~~

Or a week later.

By this point, I had given up all hope. I was depressed and I didn’t know what to do. Not that his cat form wasn’t enough… I just… missed talking to him. I wound up screaming at him multiple times and ended up straining my voice. He just got in my lap and nuzzled my stomach. I sniffled and stroked his fur. “Why won’t you change back…?”

He reached up and licked at my cheeks, rubbing against them.

“Levi…”

“Meow?” He looked up at me with his own teary eyes.

I looked at him and picked him up. I knew it. He did want to change back. He just couldn’t. I held him tightly and kissed his head. “I’ll get you back. I promise.

I started to do research on Levi’s origins. I asked previous owners. I had to get to Levi’s original owner. He would be the one to change Levi. I just knew it.

Chapter 18 -First Date-

Levi pawed at my stomach. He was curled up in my lap, me stroking his fur while I read a book. I looked down and chuckled. “What?”

He meowed and put his paws on my chest so he could reach and lick my chin.

“I love you too.” It was getting easier and easier to say that.

“Meow…”

“You know I don’t understand you when you’re like that, right?”

He huffed and flicked his tail before turning into a human, making my lap a bit more crowded. “We should go on a date.”

“Not with you like that.”

“Like what?”

“Naked.” I rolled my eyes and put my book to the side.

“Well, of course not like this. But,” He sneezed into his hands, causing his big furry ears to go back and his tail to move on my leg, “we needed to get me some clothes anyways and I want to do something fun with you.”

His sneeze was adorable. I kissed his head affectionately and hummed. “Alright… but nothing too expensive. I have bills to pay you
know. And your special diets aren’t helping.”

The only sign of the guilt he felt for that was his ears wilting. “Well, I can get a job once I have proper clothes that fit me.”

“Levi… I’m not comfortable you being away from me in public.” I knew he was a ‘stray cat’. I knew he would never be happy being locked up in a house all day. But… what if someone found out? What if… the people who were looking for him met him on the streets and I never even got to say good bye?

“…Eren…I can’t stay in here forever… besides, you can’t afford both of us. I’ve been working really hard on not trying to transform back into a cat. I’ll be fine.”

“Alright… Get dressed and we’ll go to the mall.” We would discuss it more later, but for now I just wanted to make him happy. He was a neutral looking guy so it was hard to get him to smile. I watched his scramble out of my lap before kissing me gently and walking to my room. He really was… someone I cared about. With every day that was passing I was seeing him as less of a cat. I smiled when he came back out with one of my band tshirts and some jeans that he had rolled up and a belt on.

I got up and walked him out to the car.

~~~

When we got to the mall I took him to one of the cheaper stores and let him roam around. I gave him advice on what clothes he should get for jobs and then some more comfy clothes. I paid for it wanting to cry when we got in the hundreds. I reassured him that it was alright that I was getting him so much, but my wallet was saying otherwise.

When our actual date started (meaning after a quick stop home for him to change into his clothes) we went to the movies. It was starting to become winter now, there still wasn’t snow on the ground but there was definitely a chill.

“Hey, Levi, we’ve known each other for like a year now.”

“Oh, I guess we have.” He looked down and I thought I saw a smile. “You’re the longest person I’ve stayed with.”

“I don’t see how anyone can kick you out. Especially in a box.”

“My previous owners weren’t the best… I don’t remember what they looked like but as soon as I transformed they were done with me.”

I took his hand and squeezed it. “Hey, it’s okay.”

Levi nodded and leaned against me. We walked into the theater and we watched a romance that ended with me crying because he lost everything when his wife died.

~~~

I laughed at one of his stupid jokes as we chased each other around trying to get each other into pajamas. I don’t know when this game started, but it was happening more frequently. I tackled him to the ground and got his clothes on. “Damnit, Levi. You’re so hard to catch.”

“Heh, that’s because I’m used to running away.” Levi said and started to tickle me.

I cackled and eventually pinned to the ground and dressed. We walked to our bed and laid down. I kissed his head and held him
close. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

“Forever?”

“Forever.” He kissed my cheek and wrapped his arm around me before we fell asleep.

~~~

The next morning wasn’t a good morning.

A/N: Sorry this is so late getting out! I just had no inspiration to write it. XD It's been half done for like a month now and I just got around to doing it. But yeah, here it is. :3

Chapter 17 -I got this-

My mind was swimming with thoughts that night when I was cooking us dinner. I haven’t seen much of Levi today. He has been in my room sleeping. Maybe last night really took a lot out of him…? I sighed and picked up the plate of gross homemade cat food and my own food of rice and orange chicken. I walked to the bedroom and looked at his sleeping form. He was curled up on my pillow, black fur shining from the sunlight. He really was such a beautiful cat. No. Wait. I had to think of him as a person. He’s a person.

I set the food and shook him gently. “Levi… wakey wakey.”

His gray eyes opened and he stressed looking up at me before turning into a human and putting clothes on. “Hmm?”

“Heh, were you sunbathing?” I asked noticing how he was in front of the window.

“Yeah. It was really warm.” I could tell he was really relaxed. Maybe this was a good time to tell him?

“Umm…” I fiddled with my food as I sat down before looking up at him. “…About last night-”

Levi stopped his fork from going up to his mouth and sighed putting it back down. “We don’t have to talk about it.”

“No, but I want to…I…”

“Want me to leave?”

“No, I…” I looked down and stirred my food up. “I…I…” Why can’t I say it? It’s a three word sentence.

“What is it, Eren?” Levi wasn’t looking at me and I knew he was feeling more and more nervous as the time went on.

“Ummm…I…I…” I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and exhaled. “Iloveyou.”

His fork dropped and clattered on his plate. He turned to me, head tilted, one ear up and the other down. “Huh?” His tail was flipping back in forth in curiosity.

I grabbed my plate and blushed. “You heard me! I’m leaving!”

He grabbed my arm before I could retreat to the living room. “…I didn’t hear you…”

I wanted to slam my head in the wall. How the fuck did he not hear me?! I took calming deep breaths and gripped my plate tightly. I could do this. I got this. “I…I love you…” I turned to him and looked up into his cat like eyes. “I…I think… I think I’m falling for you.”

Levi’s eyes widened and he just stared at me before smiling and holding my chin. “Promise?”

“Promise what?”

“Promise me that you’re just not messing around.”

I puffed out my cheeks and looked to the side. “I promise. I wouldn’t do something like that. I…I just thought about it and came to the conclusion that I might fall for you… that I already am.”

If I had known how this story would go, I might have loved him a little sooner. But, that isn’t how life works. This is the start of my first true love with my cat. No, with my handsome boyfriend. For some reason, I fell for him and fell for him hard. The journey isn’t even half over, but as he put my plate to the side and kissed me I couldn’t care less. I just wanted him to continue. I wanted him to hold me forever. Because I wasn’t a pervert for loving this person. I was just your average guy falling in love with an extraordinary guy. I wasn’t with a cat. It took me too long to realize that, but now that I have I couldn’t see him the same way again. He wasn’t just my cat. He was my boyfriend. My best friend. My number one. I don’t think my heart has ever beat that fast before. This moment was definitely my favorite.
