GOD WHERE THE HELL DID THIS IDEA EVEN COME FROM

Blair the cat slumped in a chair, bored that no one was around to play with. Well, there was Soul, but he was currently napping - rather, he'd fallen asleep while studying. His head lay on his open textbook, a string of drool dangling from the corner of his mouth. Blair pouted grumpily at him, a little "hmph!" of indignation escaping her. How dare he sleep, when such a gorgeous woman as her was around! She crossed her arms and flicked her tail in annoyance.
And that's when it hit her. A devious, Grinch-like smile curled her lips, and she lifted a finger to wave at him as she cast a spell.
"Pum-pum-pumpkin... Feline form!"

"I'm home!" Maka announced as she opened the door. "Soul? Blair?" She called the second name with a note of annoyance, as she wasn't particularly fond of the other woman hanging around all the time. However, the cat-lady didn't seem to be there at the moment. Maka supposed she'd gone out to wander the streets in search of a handout, and possibly to flirt.
"Mmngh!~" A comfortable groan made her turn towards the couch, where she saw Soul lounging, currently engaged in a catlike stretch. "Oh... S'up, Maka." He flashed that smirk of his, fluffy pointed ears twitching slightly.
... That... was not normal.
"Uhhh..." Maka tried to put the current predicament into words. "Um... Soul... Y-you have... ears."
The white-haired boy lifted an eyebrow, looking at her oddly. "Yeah," he said slowly. "I've... always had ears, you know..."
"No no, I mean...!" Maka frowned in frustration and crossed the room, reaching to tug gently at the new appendages on his head. "You have ears!"
Soul jumped, immediately shifting to a seated position, a faint red dusting his cheeks. "W-whoa! Hey!" he cried indignantly, his tail fluffed up in surprise. "Warn me before you do something like that!"
A sly grin claimed the girl's features, and she reached for an ear, scratching behind it. Soul's crimson eyes seemed to glaze over, and his eyelids fell to half-mast, making him appear to be in utter bliss. It was actually... kind of cute. He suddenly realized what he was doing, and jerked away from her touch, glaring, though blushing fiercely.
"Okay, new rule. Don't touch the ears." He covered said appendages with his hands.
"Where did those come from, anyway?" Maka asked, sitting beside him on the couch.
Soul shrugged one shoulder. "Beats me. Just woke up and there they were."
"Where's Blair? I bet she had something to do with this."
"Dunno the answer to that, either."
Maka pursed her lips in thought. "I can't see why she'd do something like this to you, though, and not stick around to watch the results..." She noticed that Soul was staring intently at her. "Um... What's up?"
Soul moved closer and extended a hand, and pawed at one of her pigtails. It swayed back and forth tauntingly; he swiped at it again, fascinated by its movement. He sat up on his knees and batted at her hair with both hands, grunting softly with intense concentration.
After Maka took a moment to marvel at the sheer what-the-fuck-ery of it, she snatched her pigtail from his clutches. "Do I have to pet your ears again?" she warned.
Said ears flattened against Soul's head as he retreated. "No," he muttered, playing idly with his tail, and glaring at the floor.

Dear god what. What is this I don't even.
There is WAY too much potential for this. I wanted to write a neko story that deviated from the usual cutesy-snuggly-horny thing that writers usually seem to do. Because if you have (or have had) a cat, you know that they act really weird, and it's hilarious, and not at all like the standard "oh, i'm so sexy, nya~" bullshit that pops up whenever you see catboys and catgirls.
So, yeah. Prepare for uber silliness, and a little bit of romance. (Or a lot, depending on what my muse dictates... idefk.)
