Simple Pleasures
Prologue
"Come on, Heero! PLEASE?" "No means no, Duo. We are not keeping it. Anyways, where will you keep it?" "At night, on the edge of the bed!" "It'll get kicked off. What about during the day?" "In the doghouse at the back of the house!" "Duo! That house is meant for a 12 pound Yorkshire terrier, NOT an 800 pound panther!" "But Heero! Look at it! It's cute!" Heero looked into the great saucer-like eyes of the panther that Duo had 'rescued' from the zoo. It was a bit cute. but NO! "No, Duo. Quatre will not approve." "Yes he did! I already asked him!" Dammit, thought Heero. He WOULD approve. He'd just think of it as a giant kitty. "Duo, if I say yes," big puppy dog eyes greeted this statement," YOU have to take care of it." "YEA!" Duo cried. "Thanks Hee-chan!" And Duo ran off. But the cat didn't follow. "Come on, Gwen!" Still the cat sat, eyes boring into Heero. Duo ran back just in time to see the great feline get up and rub against Heero's legs, letting out a purr the neighbors 2 miles down the road could hear. "Awww! Heero! She likes you!" Heero stepped back and gave the cat his best death glare. The cat stared back before leaping onto Heero, throwing the teen to the ground, where the cat proceeded to wash his face. Heero pushed the cat off, glared at Duo, and walked back into the house. The cat followed. Everywhere Heero went, the panther followed, even helping Heero with some things. From then on, Gwen was Heero's first pet.
