The Love of Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer
A/N: Hey it's me again, and I have a new fic. I'm still going to be updating the other story but at the moment I'm in a writers block with it. When I get an idea I'll write it down and post it. Then I'll probably rotate the posting. Well I hope you enjoy this one, its about Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer as you can tell from the title. Please review if you can and enjoy!
Rumpleteazer was sitting in her lair at the junkyard waiting for Mungojerrie to come. He had told her he needed to talk to her about something and to go to her lair and he would meet her there.
She smiled at the thought of him; they had been close since she could remember. He had skipped his courtship dance so that he could dance with her at hers, and he had. That had been two months ago.
He spoiled her rotten and he knew she enjoyed it. The other cats made fun of him for it but he didn't care. He loved her and would take the teasing.
She panicked then afraid that he didn't love her anymore. She started pacing as she waited for him to get there.
When he got there and watched as she paced he knew she was panicking for some reason.
"Teazer what's the matter?" He asked her softly.
She jumped and turned around and looked at him, "Do…you s still love me?" She asked.
He looked at her with his ears back, "What? Teazer of course I do." He said walking closer to her.
"Then what's going on? Why so serious? It's scaring me Jerry." She said.
Jerry set down next to her and pulled her closer to him, "Old D wants me to go stake out Macavity, I'm probably going to be gone for several weeks. I wanted to tell you in here so that we could be alone when I told you. Munkus has promised to watch out for you and walk you to our humans' house when you want to go home." He told her licking her ears when he finished.
She set there for a bit trying to take it all in, "When are you going?" She asked softly.
"In about three days, Old D gave me the days to spend with you." He said gently.
"Why can't I go, he usually let's me go with you?" she asked
He pulled her into his lap and leaned against the wall with her, "Because sweetie, I'm going to be in Macavity's territory for a long time. There mostly toms there and what queens that are there are not there by choice. They thrive on catching young sweet innocent princesses like you to torture. I couldn't live with that if it happened to you Teazer, you'll be safer here." He said.
"But what if they catch you? Then you'll get hurt, maybe killed." She said looking at him with big blue eyes.
"They won't find me sweetie, I'll be well hidden. And if they sense me I'll be out of there before they can get there. Misto is coming with me; he'll be able to get us out of there." He said, hoping if she knew that he wouldn't be alone she would feel better.
She thought about it, "Better then you being alone I guess." She said and groomed his chest fur.
He smiled and went back to grooming her ears, "yes it is." He said. "You ok now?" He asked.
"I think so." She said, "I…I'm just going to miss you." She said
He smiled and reached up and pulled her chin up to look at him, "I'm going to miss you to Teaz. But you're the reason I'm doing this. So I can help protect the yard from Macavity. Old D is hoping we can find out if their planning something. If they are we're coming right back to tell Old D and prepare for it." He told her
She smiled, "Ok that actually did make me feel better." She said softly.
He smiled, "Good."
He bent down and kissed her and then pulled back licked her face and pulled her into a hug, "I love you Teazer." He said.
She snuggled closer to him and placed her head where she could hear his heart, "I love you to Jerry." She said.
He smiled and held her closer knowing that she would be going to sleep soon. He licked her ears again and started purring gently for her and within a matter of minutes she was out. He laid down and pulled a blanket over them and curled around her protectively and fell asleep as well.
The next three days were full of a lot of cuddling, talking, playing, and chasing each other around.
The day that Jerry was to leave, hit Teazer hard. She realized he was really leaving and that she couldn't go because it wouldn't be safe. She knew he was doing it for her and the junkyard, but she was till scared. She had woken up curled up close to him with him curled around her. She didn't want to get up cause this was the last time for a few weeks that he could hold her. So she just laid there listening to his heart beat.
He woke up about 30 minutes later to her licking is chest fur and crying. He rubbed her back gently and licked her ears and purring, hoping this would sooth her.
"Teaz, I love you sweetie. I know this is hard, but I swear I'll come back." He said. "Munk's going to be meeting us once a week; you can send a message to me by him. Ok?" He told her.
She sniffed, "I couldn't come with him?"
"no Teaz that wouldn't be safe sweetie." He said gently.
"ok." She said and nuzzled against him.
"That's my girl," He said softly and licked the tears off her face. "I've got something for you Teaz."
She looked at him, "Really?" She said brightening up a bit.
"Yep." He said grinning at her.
"What is it?" She asked.
He smiled at her and licked her ears, got up and walked over to a pillow on the other side of the lair and dug under it for a second. Then he pulled something out and hid it behind his back and walked back over to her.
She watched him go over to the pillow and tilted her head to the side in admiration when he bent down. She straitened up when he pulled what ever it was out and stood up and turned around to her. She tried not to act like she had been staring at him and hoped he hadn't noticed.
He had and kind of smiled but that was all because he didn't want her to be embarrassed about it. He actually thought it was sweet, but he would keep that to himself for the moment.
He walked over to her and smiled, "You ready?" He asked.
"Yes." She said a little impatiently.
He grinned and pulled from behind his back a pearl necklace that she had wanted for a long time.
She saw the pearls and her eyes went huge, "You got me the pearls!" She said.
He got closer to her and put them around her neck and fastened them, "Yep, I did. Thought you needed something special before I left, and I remembered you had been wanting these." He said straightening them a bit.
She sniffed and hugged him, "Thank you Jerry." She said laying her head on his chest.
He returned her hug and rubbed her back, "Your welcome Teazer." He said.
A few minutes later he pulled back, "Guess who I saw come in from the train a little bit ago." He said.
She looked at him for a minute, "Daddy's back?"
He smiled and nodded, "Yep, your daddy's home for a few days. I talked to him about what's going on and he said you could come over and stay with him and your momma if you want."
She nodded, "I think I do." She said "I haven't seen daddy or momma much lately."
Jerrie nodded, "Is there anything you want to take over there?" He asked
"My pillow you gave me, when we did the courting dance." She said.
He nodded and walked over to the big blue pillow he had gotten for Teazer not long ago and carried it over to her. "Alright, you want to head over now?" He asked.
She nodded, "Yea," She said and nuzzled him real quick.
He smiled at her and nuzzled her back, "Ok let's go." He said and started over to Skimbleshanks and Jennyanydots lair.
Teazer wanted to walk with Jerry but wanted to go see her daddy. Jerry saw this and smiled and stopped for a minute. He put the pillow down and put his paws on her shoulders.
"I'm not going right away Teazer, go see your daddy." He said and bent down and kissed her, "I'll be right behind you." He said.
"Ok." She said kissed him back and then went running to her parents lairs.
Jerry laughed and followed her with her pillow slowly to give her some time before he got there.
Teazer went running into the lair, "DADDY!" She called
Skimbleshanks looked up from something he was looking at and grinned, "Theirs me little girl." He said with his accent and held his arms out to her. "Come here Teazer." He said.
Teazer ran into his arms and he twirled her around making her squeal and giggle. She hugged him when he put her down and then looked up at him.
"I've missed ya daddy." She said softly.
"I've missed you to little bit." He said affectionately.
She grinned at him, "Well I guess I'll be staying here for a few weeks huh?" She said softly.
Skimbleshanks nodded, "Yes you will be.' He said and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Jerry's here with you nest, show him where you want it and spend some more time with him before he has to go ok?" He said
Teazer looked over her shoulder and saw jerry, "Ok." She said and walked over to him. "Do you remember where I had it before I moved out Jerry?" She asked
He nodded, "In the corner." He said, "Is that where you want it now?" He asked
She nodded, "Yes please." She said.
He nodded and carried it over to her corner and laid the pillow down. He turned around and looked at her and smiled, "There you go Teaz all ready for ya." He said.
She smiled at him, "Thank you Jerry." She said softly.
He smiled at her and stepped over to her, "Your welcome." He said and hugged her.
'You have to go now don't you?" She asked
He nodded, "Yea Teazer, I need to go. I'm going to miss you, but I know you'll be safe." He said, "And I'll be as safe as I can." He said. "And come back as soon as I can." He said
She looked at him, "Promise?" She asked.
He nods, "I promise." He said.
"You better," She said
He smiled at her, "I will Teazer." He said. "Now you have to promise me something." He said
"What?" She asked.
"Promise me you're not going to mope around here. Play with your friends, help your mother…have fun." He said.
She looked at him for a minute and saw that this was important to him, "Ok jerry I wont mope." She said, "I promise" She said.
He smiled, "Good," He said. "I love you…and I'll miss you." He said softly licking her face.
She tried to smile knowing he was about to go, "I love you to…and I'll miss you to." She said licking his chest.
He smiled at her and groomed her ears like she liked, "I need to go now Teaz, why don't you go hang out with your mom and dad now." He said.
She wiped her tears away and nodded, "ok." She said softly.
She started to walk away and go to her parents when he pulled her back and kissed her. She tensed for a minute and then kissed him back. He pulled back and hugged her to him grooming her ears again.
"I needed to do that Teazer, for you and for me. I'm not saying goodbye, that's to final. So you get a Kiss…bends down and kisses her again a hug hugs her and I'll see you soon." He said licking her again and smiling at her.
She nodded, "I like that better." She said.
"Good," He said and pulled away reached up and wiped her check of a tear. "I'll see you soon sweetheart." He said.
She nodded, "See you soon." She said.
He smiled and gave her one last kiss, squeezed her paw and walked out nodded to her parents. Skimbleshanks nods back and looks over at teazer who looks on the verdge of tears. He got up and went over to her and hugged her.
"He'll be back Teazer." He said.
"I know." She said, "And I promised him I wouldn't mope…so I'm not." She said.
Skimbleshanks smiled and hugged her, "Your momma is about to go feed the kittens in the nursery and take over for jelly. I bet she would like some help. Would you like to help her?" He asked.
Teazer smiled and wiped her eyes, 'Yea that sounds like fun." She said.
"Good, she'll be glad to have you." She said.
Teazer smiled, hugged her daddy and then walked out of the lair and to the nursery to help her mother.
Skimble smiled and hugged her back and watched as she went out, knowing the next few weeks would be hard. But he would make sure to help her keep her promise to Jerry and not be mopy. He went and laid down on his and jenny's bed and decided to take a nap, while thinking how to keep Teazer happy.
