Ryan slammed the cupboard door under the sink closed, having just thrown away a large clump of fibers that he'd taken from the side of his couch. He grumbled to himself as he walked out into the living room to see his boyfriend sitting there, a small fur ball sitting in the palm of his hands.
"Troy, I don't want that thing here any more," Ryan spat, walking over to the couch. "Look what it did! I'm going to have to get this couch reupholstered now."
Troy looked up at the irate blond with a surprised expression on his face. "But, Ry," he said, making his eyes go all wide with that pleading expression Ryan could never get past. "How could you kick something so cute out of our apartment?"
With that he held the little fur ball, a small grey and white kitten, that still fit in the palm of his hands, toward his fuming boyfriend.
"I never even wanted a stupid cat," Ryan said, ignoring the little animal that was just staring up at him, before flopping down onto the couch. "I can't believe I let you talk me into this in the first place."
Troy pulled the cat back to his chest and sent a glowering look at Ryan. "Don't let kitty here you talk like that," he said. "You'll hurt her feelings."
"Feelings?" Ryan laughed mirthlessly. "What about my couch? Look at what she did to it!" He ended by pointing his fingers to the side of the couch that had been torn up by the cat's clawing.
"She's sorry for whatever she did, Ry," Troy said, trying to placate his boyfriend. "But she's just a baby, and look how cute she is."
Troy set the kitten down next to his boyfriend and then watched as she walked over to the blond and snuggled down next to him, curling into his side. And Ryan couldn't help but admit that she was pretty cute, regardless of what she did to his couch.
"I can't believe I'm falling for this kitten," he sighed. "Sharpay wouldn't have ever let this happen."
"And that's why I love you and not Sharpay," Troy said, smiling as he leaned over to rest his head on Ryan's shoulder.
"Is that the only reason?" Ryan asked, laughing as the brunet swatted his arm. The two sat in silence for a few moments before Ryan spoke up again. "Troy?" he questioned. "Did you really name it Kitty?"
"What?" Troy asked, lifting his head from Ryan's shoulder to look his boyfriend in the eye. "It's cute."
A/N: So, I just couldn't stay away from writing these little drabbles. While the others took place in high school, I think this series will take place after high school, maybe in college, maybe not. I just think it provides a different avenue to tell these little stories. I hope you all enjoy!
