I DO NOT OWN DURARARA!
'I'm allergic to cats...so why the hell am I even doing this..?'
That was what I thought to myself as I was carefully drying off the black cat which I had brought into my home.
I had found the poor thing as I was walking home from my work at the bar. It had been raining for almost an hour and I was close to home when I heard something. Not exactly sure what, I stopped in my tracks and listened.
There.
The sound was a pitiful mix between a meow and a wail and it was coming from the alleyway on my left.
Curious and concerned, I ducked into the alley and found the source of the racket: a lanky black cat who was absolutely drenched. A giant puddle had cornered it and it was obviously too scared to try to cross this seemingly vast body of water.
I cursed myself as I stooped down and reached for the cat. Hissing at me, it attempted to make its fur stand on end as it swiped at my hand.
Annoyed, I sighed. "Why the hell do I even try..?"
The moment I turned my back and took a step away, however, I heard a heart-wrenching, fragile "mew".
"...Dammit..!" I hissed under my breath before turning back and carefully trying to scoop up the soaking wet creature.
In a docile manner, it cooperated as it clumsily clambered into my arms, weighed down by the water clinging to its jet black fur.
As I walked home, my umbrella held carefully in the crook of my elbow as I cradled the cat, I could feel its claws poking into me gently.
And so I found myself drying of a soaked black cat in my own home, hoping desperately that I wouldn't start-
ACHOO!
-...sneezing.
Groaning as I stood up, I dropped the towel on the mud-room tile and kicked off my shoes. I was considering whether or not I should shower when something touched my legs. Naturally, I tensed up.
When I looked down, however, it was the cat rubbing itself against my legs out of gratitude. I could also hear a very audible and yet soft purr coming from the creature.
I sighed and couldn't help but chuckle.
From there I decided to shower. I had predicted that it would be difficult to keep the cat out of the bathroom, judging by its affectionate rubbing. Thankfully, I wrong. Or not so thankfully, seeing as the animal that I was allergic to leapt onto my bed and curled up on it as if it owned the thing.
Leaving the bathroom turned out to be different, as the feline had placed itself directly in my path.
"...What?" I questioned.
It stared at me with its reddish brown eyes which had lit up mischievously at the sight of me.
"What do you wa-"
"Miaow," I swear it was smirking at me.
"..I don't speak ca-"
"Miaow~~," it cut me off sassily before rising to its paws. With a chirruping sort of noise, it began to walk out of my bedroom towards the rest of my apartment.
Sighing, I trudged after the cat.
When I had caught up to it, the black furry creature was pawing at my refrigerator.
"...Food."
I received a purr in response.
"Taking that as a yes," I mumbled, opening the refrigerator. All I really found suitable for the cat was milk and a can of tuna I had taken a bite of before deciding it was disgusting. I poured it a saucer of the milk and set down the can of tuna.
Ignoring the milk completely, it tore into the tuna as though it hadn't eaten in ages.
Later, after having eaten and explored, the cat joined me on my bed. I had been watching television boredly as I attempted to doze off and ignore my urge to sneeze.
Purring, it began to rub up against me.
I had still been unable to figure out if it was male or female. Since the former was easier to decide thanks to usually obvious parts, I went with the latter.
"You're a friendly one, aren't you, girl?"
It froze in its tracks and shot me a dirty look.
I raised an eyebrow in response.
Sitting down to face me, it stared into my eyes with its own, giving me a look which came off as "Are you really that stupid?"
"...Boy?"
At this, it, or he I should say, nodded in a satisfied manner and trotted off to the side of me and my bed. He curled up with his back facing me, obviously shunning me.
"You're a strange one, for sure," I mumbled, wondering why I was even talking to a cat.
He turned his head to face me and briefly stuck out his tongue before returning to his original position.
I stared.
'Animals can't seriously act that human...can they?'
I thought of this while thinking of cat allergies. Yeah, my mind is random.
Anyways, this will be interesting. I'm not sure how many people are to appear but I've figured out 4 so far, including the main pairing.
ALSO, I REALLLY need someone to explain how allergy meds work!
I reaaally like reviews~ They encourage me to write more~ (and also help pointing out mistakes I am too lazy to look for)
