Everybody wants to be a cat.

[buttwombs]

Who: Norio, Grell, and Keigo!
When: Afternoon of Jan 25th.
Where: The apartment of those last two guys up there!
Summary: Grell brought home another stray... cat?
Warnings: Thanks to Norio's little pheromone problem things may get a little... special.

[He's struggling! Putting up one hell of a fight! And he has been for several minutes! But alas, Grell knows where to scratch to keep him subdued.

He'd been curiously exploring the city now that he wasn't snowed in with Snake, not expecting that he'd run into the somewhat intimidating redhead again when an overly friendly woman had him pushed up against a building. He was especially not expecting to be kidnapped by the sharp-toothed stranger. It was just one surprise after another in this place!]

You can't do this! Let me go! Let me go!

What does that have to do with anything?!

[buttwombs]

... well, maybe a little but... you're changing the subject!

[deathknellgrell]

You're so cuuu~uuuuuuuuuute~!

[ Grell sweeps Norio, and then Keigo into a GROUP HUG! ]

You're both my little pets~♥

[asano_san]

[Norio is kind of cute. Is it self-centered to think that right after someone just told you how much you look alike?

But there isn't much time to worry about this because he is being group hugged.]

Erk!

[He pries at Grell's arm.]

I'm not your pet! I'm your neighbor!

[Unfortunately.]

[buttwombs]

Ack! Hey! What's wrong with you?!

[Group hug means Norio's being smushed right up against you Keigo, enjoy that.]

[deathknellgrell]

[ Grell is off on another of his theatrical flights of nutty... ]

I'm going to stroke you and feed you.

[ Heedlessly, he's still hugging - and smooshing! ]

And call you ~kitty~♥

[asano_san]

Yeah, feed him our food!

[Keigo gives up physically fighting it, though, because he's recognizing the signs of A Grell Thing that he just needs to ride out.

And it's really not so bad here. A hug's a hug. Norio is warm next to him. He could just move his hand a little bit to the left and be touching him. Which he doesn't realize he's doing.]

[buttwombs]

I can feed MYSELF!

[-- huh? What's that touching--]

-- h-hey!

[deathknellgrell]

[ Heedless of the fact that his kitties are touching, Grell releases them from the hug, ruffling their hair as he does so. ]

Yes, that's right Keigo. Your food.

[ He clasps his hands behind his head, impatiently. ]

Will won't let me take in another stray - you know how he is - so I thought you could look after him.

[sequincy]

[there is an elevator opening in the hallway, and a weary Quincy stepping out of it, eager to turn in to bed early tonight. He may stay awake long enough to brew a cup of tea before bed, he allows, but that's all. He's exhausted.

Even more so, when he senses people in his apartment who shouldn't be there. One spirit is unfortunately familiar. What's that crazy reaper up to now?]

[asano_san]

I could look after him?

[Of course, it's just like Grell to dump something like this on him. Like he can just bring someone over and expect them to not care about taking in a new roommate.

But the idea isn't sounding that bad.]

I could look after him.

[Yosuke had moved out recently, so the couch was free.

Keigo hasn't moved away from Norio even though they're no longer being hugged tight. A hand that started out somewhere in the hip region drifts lower, getting closer and closer to full-on ass-grab territory. He assumes that Norio's complaints are directed at Grell.]

[buttwombs]

HEY! IS ANYONE LISTENING TO ME? I CAN TAKE CARE OF MYSELF!

[And he squirms to get out of Keigo's reach!]

-- A-AND KEEP YOUR HAND TO YOURSELF!

[deathknellgrell]

[ Grell notices what Norio is squirming away from! ]

Were you--

Keigo. Why, you naughty boy~♥

And here I thought my little pet would be safe from you, of all people!

[ Grell catches Norio by the shoulder, and sets about scratching him behind the ears. ]

Shhhhh ssshhh, kitty. It's all right.

[sequincy]

Whatever's going on - [walking briskly inside, adjusting his glasses. They'd better not be blocking the way to the kitchen.] - I don't want to know about it. I'm going to sleep early tonight. If you're loud, I'll shoot you. Grell, that goes double for you.

[asano_san]

My hand-?

[His hand!]

I wasn't-! I didn't-!

[And Grell noticed. His humiliation is complete. This is the kind of thing you don't live down. Oh, you think you have, but then three months later you buy a hot dog and you get called a naughty boy again and it all comes back.

He hears the door open and Uryuu comes in. No, now his humiliation is complete.]

What would I be doing that would be loud?!

[buttwombs]

[When Ishida enters, Norio swings around to point at him in surprise and irritation.]

Hey! You're that j-- mmmmmmeow! Meow!

[He doesn't get to finish his thought however, as Grell's scratching gets him mewling again.]

[deathknellgrell]

[ That little glasses adjustment never fails to ~ping~ Grell... ]

Is that a promise, Uryuu~♥

[ A WINK at Keigo. ]

Yes you were, yes you did!

[ He returns his attention to Norio - who appears to be sprouting ears once again. He keeps petting, stroking down the length of Norio's back. ]

No one's going to hurt you, come and sit in mama's lap, little sweetie.

[ He's headed for the (new) sofa, Norio in tow. ]

[sequincy]

You're always loud. Even when you're -

[okay no, the strange kid meowing is going to get Uryuu's attention despite his best attempts to ignore this debacle. ...What the hell, are those cat ears? ...He looks familiar for some reason too...]

What - who is that? - Don't pull him onto my couch! [asdklg, leaping over to intervene] What if he scratches it?!

[asano_san]

Even when I'm what?

[What has Uryuu heard him doing?

Then Norio meows. Which is helpful because otherwise he probably would have thought the trauma of this all was making him hallucinate cat ears.]

When did that happen?

[buttwombs]

[Right now, Norio's instincts tell him to follow where the petting is. He keeps meowing happily, and unless someone stops him he will indeed be coerced right into Grell's lap on the couch.]

Prrt!

[deathknellgrell]

[ To Uryuu, who is standing before him, thwarting him from cat!boy cuddles on the sofa... ]

Don't be silly.

He's not going to scratch anything, he's a good kitty.

Er, except... he does seem to be in heat!

[sequincy]

I don't care what sounds he's making or what's on his head, he's not a kitty. [grabbing for the scruff of Norio's shirt to yank him off the reaper (and his couch).

...Although his knuckles brush some of Norio's hair, which he's pleasantly surprised to realize is very soft and smooth. Maybe it's another cat thing? ...Ah, it smells nice as well...

Uryuu blinks, shakes his head and scowls suddenly, re-focusing.] Anyway, you lost your couch privileges.

- Heat? [oh god, mortified. He glances back at Keigo, as if accusing him of treachery]

[asano_san]

[He's in heat? Like when Yajiri...well, the less he thinks about chinchilla humping the better.

Keigo doesn't understand why Uryuu thinks he has anything to do with this beyond getting caught up in Grell's ideas.]

Why are you looking at me?

[Unless...]

Did you make me want to touch you?

[No, there's someone else who's more likely to blame. He turns his attention to Grell.]

Did you know that and make him make me want to touch him?

[buttwombs]

[For the briefest moment between Grell's lap and being yanked off of it, Norio looks like he's about to regain his bearings again...

... but being grabbed by the back of his shirt pings another cat instinct, and he instead goes totally limp.]

[deathknellgrell]

I assume it's heat, the way everyone wants to touch him.

[ A little shrug. He laces his fingers together and cracks his knuckles; then reclines languorously upon the sofa, "privileges" be damned! ]

Well, well. I suppose I'll have to take him to the vet next week, to be fixed.

[ ...


Doubletake and stare at Keigo! ]

Of all people!
