Cats – B
After leaving Whammy's, Beyond lived on the streets until he found his current home, if you could call it that. To most it was just an abandoned warehouse. When he only lived on the streets, B would only stay there when it was physically dangerous to stay outside without shelter. Soon enough, he started staying at the warehouse more often until it became an everyday occurrence. He even got basic necessities in a house like a fridge, chair and a mattress with some blankets and a pillow. It wasn't really the ideal home but it wasn't as if he could get a real home, his bank account wasn't exactly overflowing. The money that he did have he got from doing multiple street jobs like preforming, dancing, even stripping as well as a stint as a circus performer at one point. You name it, he did within the two years he lived on the streets. Now, that money was used to keep him alive.
One night it had been raining quite hard. Beyond had wanted to go out that night but he wasn't too bothered; he liked the rain. The way it sounded when it hit the roof of the warehouse, the way it looked as it fell to the ground fast from the sky, even how it smelled. The dampness. Though, out of all of that, the visual was his favourite. So, every time it rained, he would sit by an open door, normally staying up all night due to chronic insomnia. Though, that night, something different happened. He got an unexpected visitor; a cat. A soaking wet, black cat.
Beyond had always loved cats; they were demanding, temper mental and got attention only when it would satisfy their needs, almost like him. So, when the cat showed up at the open warehouse door, he aided the poor soaked creature.
He brought the cat inside almost immediately and got it a blanket to dry its shiny fur. Beyond closed all the windows and doors so that the cat couldn't get any wetter and escape. He knew the cat needed food; he could see its rib cage which obviously wasn't a sign of good health. So, he decided to go out and get some food for his furry little guest.
He ended up using a bit more of his savings then anticipated but it was worth it. As Beyond was getting the necessary materials he couldn't understand why he was going to so much trouble to help a cat. Then it hit him, the cat reminded him of someone that he used to know: L.
He was out for at least a half an hour, when he got back to the warehouse the cat was still there, waiting for him. He smiled at his friend and started getting everything set up for the feline. He poured food and water into separate bowls as well as set up the kitty litter. He didn't know how long the cat would stay for but he hoped it could be for a long time, it could be good company.
After everything was set up Beyond Birthday went back to the door, opened it and watched the rain again. It hadn't stopped, only began pouring harder. He was lost in thought until something soft and fluffy brushed up against his hand. The cat, it wanted attention from him.
Beyond grinned and said, "Of course."
The two sat there beside each other, watching the rain, Beyond petting his new found friend. In these moments, he loved his life. After a moment of silence, B turned to the cat.
He smiled and said, "I think I'll call you Lawliet."
