Mistoffelees, the name of the jellicle who drove me crazy. The Jellicle Ball was always the worst for me. His impish grin as he worked his magic to turn the junkyard into a fairyland. Not that he would really notice me staring at him. Too engrossed in his work or Victoria to care.
It wasn't like I was the ugliest jellicle to come around. My coat was a black like Mistos but I had stripes that swirled around my body. No, don't think tiger stripes, more like somebody had painted one of those springs onto my body and legs then had little curls of white coming off the main line. But apparently that wasn't enough for Misto.
I sighed as I sat on the ledge by the old clock curling up and staring up at the moon since the cats who were all engaged in various… activities made it awkward to look down. It was the middle of the Jellicle ball anyways. That's what happened every year. I had no one. A stray, I lived here all the time and really on Sundays I was basically the only Jellicle here.
I yipped quietly as a soft plop beside me startled me. I looked over and was shocked to see Mistoffelees sitting beside me staring at me intently.
"Hi?" I questioned when he said nothing. It seemed to snap him out of his daze.
"Why aren't you down there enjoying yourself like the others?" he asked.
"Why aren't you." I licked at an imaginary hair that was out of place.
"I'm the creator, I like to watch my work being enjoyed which brings me back to you, and as to the reason you are not enjoying yourself."
"Honestly, I have no one to enjoy it with. But it is beautiful all the same, you do a good job with it every year." He moved closer and I leaned into him and stared up at the sky, the stars twinkled merrily. Perhaps this was all a dream. A sharp pang in my gut forced me out of that line of thought.
Mistoffelees caught my chin between his thumb and forefinger and forced me to look at him.
"Then enjoy it with me alright?" my eyes widened and I nodded. Quickly he leaned in and caught me in a heated kiss that it shocked whatever sight I had had right out of my eyes and they snapped shut. Our lips moved together in a frenzied manner and I held Mistoffelees close. If this was a dream I would enjoy every moment of it. If this was real then I hope to the Everlasting Cat that it lasts.
