Okay, this is slash, just to be warned! It's Munkus/Macavity, but not like my other Munkus/Macavity fics…oh, and Deuteronomy is an old meanie in this!
If you don't like slash, then don't read it and please don't comment saying you hate it, because it sort of annoys me…
I don't own Cats, unfortunately.

Munkustrap slowly made his way through the streets, looking over his shoulder every now and again. He breathed out heavily as he walked down an alley. Once again he looked over his shoulder before ducking under a dumpster and squeezing through a crack in the wall which led to a roomy den filled with pillows and blankets. Munkustrap stretched and smiled before he settled down on a cushion, his hazel eyes fixed on the doorway. Munkustrap smiled contently before his smile disappeared.
If the Jellicles knew…Munkustrap shuddered at the thought. He sighed and closed his eyes.
"Dozing off?" Munkustrap smiled as an arm slipped over his waist and a warm weight pressed against his back. Munkustrap opened his eyes, rolling over and smiling at the Tom who had the silver Tabby in his arms.
"Macavity," Munkustrap murmured, running his paws up his love's red, black and white chest. Macavity purred, nuzzling at Munkustrap lovingly.
"Here," Macavity said softly, unclipping Munkustrap's collar and tossing it to the other side of their secret den. Munkustrap smiled, snuggling closer to Macavity.
It was strange…this relationship was strange; they were the oddest couple out there. Not because they were Toms, no, that was quite common…but the fact that they were meant to be enemies, they had clawed and had bitten at each other viciously just the other week during the Jellicle ball after Macavity had kidnapped Old Deuteronomy. Munkustrap ran his paw down Macavity's face, Macavity smiled, nuzzling at his paw with his nose.
"Why did you kidnap Old Deuteronomy?"
"Bast, Munk, you're still not on about that," Macavity laughed, drawing his lover closer. Munkustrap shrugged, absently stroking Macavity's chest.
"I was just wondering," Munkustrap purred, looking at him. Macavity smirked at him.
"Don't give me the kitten eyes," Macavity laughed, pulling Munkustrap onto him as he rolled over. Munkustrap settled down contently on Macavity's chest.
"Because it was fun," Macavity answered, smirking. "And because I don't like your dad," Munkustrap perched himself up, looking at Macavity.
"Why?"
"Because he treats you like crap," Macavity said, his silver eyes raging. Munkustrap rubbed Macavity's cheek and Macavity calmed down.
"Oops, forgot this," Macavity said, sitting up. Munkustrap slipped off him and sat up. Macavity padded back over to the doorway and picked up two dishes before walking back over to Munkustrap. Munkustrap grinned at the salmon and cream.
"Should I ask where you got this?"
"No," Macavity grinned at Munkustrap. Munkustrap laughed and nuzzled up against him before they both ate the salmon and lapped at the cream together. Afterwards, they curled into each other's arms. Macavity kissed Munkustrap lightly. Munkustrap purred as they broke up, contently lying in each others arms.
Munkustrap smiled, closing his eyes. Macavity was completely different when he was with Munkustrap, he was calm, smiling…no talks or thoughts of crimes, they were just together.
Munkustrap wrapped his arm over Macavity's waist. Macavity chuckled in Munkustrap's ear, drawing him closer. Munkustrap purred as he dozed off in Macavity's arms.
He remembered how he and Macavity became to be together.
Munkustrap sat in his den, alone. Deuteronomy had banned any visitors from seeing Munkustrap, he was ashamed. Munkustrap sighed, looking at his wounds before looking at the blocked door. It wasn't fair, it wasn't his fault!
How was he supposed to know that a Pollicle would come through the east while he was patrolling the west?
Munkustrap growled, folding his arms across the chest. He failed once, and it wasn't even his fault, and Deuteronomy goes into the disappointment speech. There was a slight knock on the object blocking the exit to the den.
"Munk?"
"Cori, you'll be in trouble if Dad sees you here," Munkustrap called back.
"Are you okay?" Cori's voice floated to him.
"I guess,"
"I'll try and…" Cori broke off. Munkustrap heard a disapproving voice.
"He's not allowed to see anyone, Cori, now get away, now!" Jellylorum cut off Cori's protests.
"Sorry, Munk," Cori's voice floated into his den before everything went quiet. Munkustrap sighed and walked over to his nest, burying himself under a pile of blankets. He hated his life some days…everyone expected too much of him…and he hated it…some days, he hated it, not on all days. Munkustrap dozed off.
"Well," Munkustrap slowly lifted his head, looking around. He froze when he spotted the ginger Tom in the corner of his den.
"H-How…?"
"I teleported in, hope you don't mind," Macavity drawled, walking over to sit beside Munkustrap. Macavity hummed as he pulled the blankets off of Munkustrap and looked over his healing wounds.
"Didn't I tell you your dad was evil?"
"Mac, he's not," Munkustrap defended him. "H-He's just disappointed and he has the right to be," Munkustrap lowered his head, looking at his paws.
"No, he doesn't, Munkus," Munkustrap looked to Macavity in surprise. Macavity was looking at him sincerely.
"You had no idea that the Pollicle would turn up, Munk, you were seeing if the west was clear and the Pollicle came through the east," Macavity told him, rubbing his back. Munkustrap sighed.
"It's true, Munk, you can't do everything yourself," Munkustrap looked to Macavity and gave a small smile.
"I've missed you, Mac…other than the times you've tormented Demeter," Munkustrap told his old best friend. Macavity chuckled.
"Well, she gets on my nerves," Macavity laughed softly, lying beside Munkustrap. Munkustrap immediately moved closer. Macavity stared at him in surprise.
"You haven't been getting much attention lately, have you?" Macavity asked him softly. Munkustrap shook his head and Macavity immediately pulled the silver Tom into his arms.
"I've got you now, Munk, you're not alone anymore," Macavity whispered in Munkustrap's ear. Munkustrap smiled, falling asleep in the comfort and warmth of Macavity's arms.
Munkustrap slowly opened his eyes, yawning largely. Macavity smiled sleepily at Munkustrap, nuzzling at him. Munkustrap stretched, walking over to the door and looking out their secret den.
"Munkus," Macavity sang. Munkustrap just swished his tail. Munkustrap's eyes narrowed as he saw movement in the drizzling rain.
"Munkus, get your tail back over here," Munkustrap laughed, turning his attention to his fuming love. Munkustrap walked over to Macavity. Macavity grabbed Munkustrap in his arms, rolling him over so Munkustrap was on his back on the pillows.
"I think we're rested," Macavity smirked before kissing Munkustrap. Munkustrap purred loudly and wrapped his arms around Macavity, drawing him closer.
A little while later, Munkustrap groomed himself, trying to get Macavity's scent off him before he went back to the yard. Munkustrap smiled as his collar was refastened around his neck, accompanied by a kiss on the cheek.
"Same time Tuesday?" Macavity asked.
"Of course," Munkustrap purred, kissing him once more.
"Until then, gorgeous," Macavity winked. Munkustrap laughed and walked out of the den.
"See ya, darlin," Munkustrap called back and bounced back to the yard, a large smile on his silver face.
Munkustrap hummed cheerfully as he pounced back into the yard, grinning.
"Well, well, what Queen has set my older brother in this mood?" The Rum Tum Tugger asked as he sauntered over to walk beside Munkustrap.
"None of your business, Tugs," Munkustrap grinned before darting off to sit on the tyre, crossing his legs as he absorbed the sun which had finally managed to come out from behind the clouds.
"Well, Munkus, you're in a good mood," Munkustrap smiled at Coricopat.
"I am," Munkustrap laughed, stretching. Cori leaned closer to him.
"Macavity's scent's on your cheek," Cori whispered in his ear. Munkustrap stiffened. Cori quickly groomed the scent away before winking at Munkustrap.
"Your secret is safe with me…and Tantomile," Cori said, glancing at his sister who was grinning in their direction.
"And she's quite pleased with you…actually," Cori said, tilting his head and sounding mystified. Munkustrap laughed.
"Nice to know," Munkustrap stretched out.
"Well…it's keeping him in a less than feral state, so that's a good thing," Cori grinned, rolling onto his back. Munkustrap smirked at him before pushing him off the tyre.
"Hey!" Cori whined from where he had landed in a puddle. Munkustrap laughed. Cori leapt up to sit on the tyre beside him and shook, spraying Munkustrap with water.
"Geez, thanks," Munkustrap laughed. Cori grinned at him before going on to dry his fur. Munkustrap looked around the yard. Misto was showing off for the kittens, making them gasp. Tugger was flirting with Bomba and Cassie while Demeter watched, shaking her head. Alonzo was lying down on an upturned cupboard, with Plato and Admetus ready to pounce on him. Jenny, Skimble, Asparagus and Jelly were watching as Admetus and Plato readied themselves. Jerrie and Teazer were talking to Tantomile.
Two days later, Munkustrap walked from the yard, smiling to himself.
"Is he…glowing?" Bombalurina asked, squinting. Demeter rolled her eyes.
"It's his fur, you dolt,"
"I think he looks really happy," Misto said softly, curling up in between the two Queens.
"Ever the romantic, Misto," Demeter laughed, rubbing Misto's ears. Misto purred softly. Alonzo yawned, walking over to them before flopping on the ground in front of the three.
"Smooth, Patches, smooth," Bombalurina laughed. Alonzo grinned rolling over.
"Hello, ladies," He winked.
"You're not flirting with my girls, are you, Patches?"
"Who says I'm your girl, Tugger?" Demeter said, smirking.
"Aw, Deme, you know I love you!" Tugger laughed, settling down with them.
"What are we talking about?" They looked around as Cori and Tantomile glided towards them, moving in sync.
"Munkustrap," Tugger smirked.
"He was glowing,"
"It was the sun!"
"He was happy," Misto sighed, looking between the scarlet and black and gold Queen.
"I bet it's the Queen he's with!" Alonzo put in. The group exchanged grins.
"I bet it is too," Bombalurina laughed. Cori and Tantomile just looked at each other.
"What?" Misto asked, spotting them.
"Nothing," They answered in unison. The others frowned at the twins reaction.
"Are you hiding something?" Demeter asked suspiciously.
"No," Cori said, before glancing at Tantomile. Tantomile looked at Cori and nodded. Cori nodded back and left.
"Where'd he go?"
"He has a headache," Tantomile murmured, glancing after her twin. The Jellicles stared at her suspiciously.
Did she know who the mystery Queen was that was making Munkustrap so happy?
