Chapter Three
Americat hissed as he attempted to get under a dark wooden dresser. He and his owner, America, were over his owner's mate's house. He hadn't seen Iggycat in two months and he missed the other feline. It was supposed to be a happy vacation and it was, until he broke the news to Iggycat. Americat was going to fight in the Middle East with America. Now the older feline was sulking under the dresser and refusing to come out. "Talk to me, Iggycat! Please!"
Iggy cat shook his head as he hissed. "No," he said simply as he whipped his tail a little back and forth. It was safe to say that the Scottish Fold was not happy at the moment.
Pushing his head under, America whined, "But Iggycat! I promise that I won't get hurt. America had some Kevlar made for me!" He tried again to get his whole body under the dresser without using his super-cat strength. He did not want to topple the wooden structure. "Please come out!"
Iggycat hissed as he swiped his paw at Americat, trying to force the bigger feline away from him. The older yowled, "Never!" He scowled, shrinking deeper into the dresser until he hit the wall.
The younger tom jumped back when the claws came close to his face. He knew that his mate would act strongly, but not like this! He never would think the smaller feline would hurt him like this. "Why? Why won't you come out?"
"I don't want to come out." The Scottish Fold scoffed, turning his head a little, although he didn't have much room to turn it away with. He didn't want Americat going away, but he'd rather sulk forever than actually confess that he would miss Americat so much.
America cried pitifully, "I am leaving in two days for war and my mate is too stubborn to spend time with me?!" America sent a hurt glance towards Iggycat. "I guess we were not as close as I thought!" With that, Americat stormed out of the room, his tail dragging on the ground.
Iggycat growled as he crawled out from under the dresser. This was not what he had wanted to happen. He sighed with frustration as he skipped out of the room, looking for Americat. "Americat?" he called, meowing a little. The younger tom was nowhere to be found. The only sound that could be heard in the house was his owner, England, and his owner's mate, America, making kittens in England's room, which was located down the hall.
Iggycat scowled at those noises. He sighed as he walked around a little. He wanted to call for him again, but he didn't feel like letting Americat know how much this affected him. The small cat looked around as he slipped down into the kitchen, before messing with the food he didn't want to eat.
A few minutes after he came down stair, a little meow caught the Scottish Fold's attention. It was Seakit's meow! The kitten was currently outside if he remembered correctly. Looking out a window, Iggycat could see Seakit tugging on something tan-ish. He realized after a few seconds that that tan-ish thing was Americat's paw!
Iggycat rolled his eyes a little as he waltzed outside though the cat door. He looked around a little, spotting the two immature felines over by the brown shed. "What are you doing?!" He asked Seakit as he stood in front of them.
Americat ignored both British felines. The smaller Scottish Fold hissed lightly. "He said he would play with me after you two talked. Now he's all mopey!"
Iggycat frowned. He pawed at Americat's face a little, tilting his head at him. Iggycat could not let Americat just get away with trying to be depressing. He sat down in front of Americat, debating on what to do.
Seeing that he would be continued to be treated like a disease, Seakit snorted and padded away from the two nationcats.
Americat still refused to even open his eyes. He could smell Englandcat's scent so he knew who was sitting next to him.
Iggycat tilted his head a little as he poked the younger's face with his nose before letting out a long breath. He stayed quiet for a while before he rolled over and stared at the sky. "Um... Americat?" he asked as he rolled back over.
After a while of hoping the older would leave, the bigger feline flicked his ears as he finally realized that the other wasn't going to leave. "What?"
"I- I'll miss you..." Iggycat said quietly, sighing as he glanced away now.
Feeling his body lift off the ground, Americat got on top of his mate. "I know." Leaning down, he licked the other's cheek. "Was that so hard?"
Iggycat shuttered and froze. He was so... heavy... Iggycat growled a little as he lowered his ears slightly. "I suppose not..." he muttered as he somewhat tried to stand up. There was nothing about this situation that was comfortable for the older.
However, Americat's bulk was more than enough to keep the smaller there. Seeing his mate shake with effort, Americat slowly got off. "I love you." America rubbed his head against Englandcat again.
Iggycat laughed slightly as he nodded. "I love you too..." he said with a slight smile. He stood up as he rubbed his head on Americat's shoulder a little, and then stretched for a few seconds. Thank goodness, he thought he'd be stuck!
"So how are we going to spend the evening?" America asked, his tail now happily twitching over the verdant grass. Flicking his ears again, the younger cuddled into the older. "I want to have good memories to last for the duration of my tour."
Iggycat could think of quite a few things. He blushed as he thought of one thing they could do, laughing only slightly. They had never actually mated, unlike their owners. It was because Iggycat didn't like the feeling. Thankfully, Americat understood and never really pushed him. "I don't know." he stated shrugging a little.
Americat's ears drooped. "Oh..." His tail stopped moving and if cats could frown, he would have. "How about we stay here and cuddle? Our owners are making too much noise today."
Iggycat nodded as he sat down next to Americat. He knew what their owners were doing, and it bothered him. He never understood why England would submit to America and vise verse. Didn't it hurt?
Seeing his mate disturbed, Americat bumped their heads together lightly. "What is wrong?" The younger meowed, "Tell me."
Iggycat looked him straight in the eyes. His own eyes looked a little bored, like always. He paused before he licked his paw. "Owners are such freaks." he muttered.
"Why do you say that? My owner told me it is how they say that they love each other. America says he wants a kit. I asked why not kits, not a kit. He says that humans usually only have one at a time. Odd, huh?" America liked humans, but he didn't pay much attention unless it was his nation or other nations. Sometimes though, he did take a liking to the American citizens or the president.
Iggycat looked in some ways offended. He sighed as he rested his head on his paws. "Yes, very strange."
The younger cat noticed how nonresponsive the other was being. "Can't you be truthful for once?" Feeling the mood ruined, America stood and walked away. If Englandcat wanted to be pissy, he could do it away from Americat.
"What? It is strange!" Iggycat said as he tried to follow. "Why do you always argue with me?!" He asked with a pout.
"I am not arguing. I am simply stating that you are being rather moody. I came to spend time with my mate. It seems he doesn't want to be my mate though." Wiggling his butt, Americat leaped onto the top of the fence.
"I never said that..." Iggy said as he whined a little, jumping on the fence as well and staggering a little.
His tail proudly up, Americat jumped down and walked away. "Oh yeah? You might as well have! I am leaving for war!" Americat hissed at the other feline, "Yet you are being moody. It is quite obvious that you don't wish to have contact with me, so just leave."
Iggycat jumped down clumsily, falling on top of the Maine Coon. "Americat, please?" he begged.
Shaking off the other, Americat glared. "Please what? What do you want?" He didn't feel like spending time with someone who didn't want him around.
Iggycat sighed as he frowned. "Americat... I... I love you..." He said hopefully, following after him.
"Why should I believe that? You're barely speaking to me and you almost stuck me today. You can't tell me the truth!"
"I don't want you to get hurt... I-I'm just..." Iggy at paused as he thought for a second. "I'm scared, Americat." He whispered.
Sighing, America walked back over. "Why must you keep that from me? We are mates! We should tell each other what is wrong with them! We help each other! That's part of what it means to be a mate!"
Iggycat nodded as he looked down and flinched. "I don't like to display feelings." He said sadly. "It's not you, I'm sorry." He stated with a look down.
Americat narrowed his eyes. "Why not? We have been together for years Iggycat. I know how you are, but is it really that hard? I need emotion; I thrive on it. It has always been the thing I cannot stand about you. You don't feel; it's like I must push you to even show a bit. I have to guess how you're feeling most of the time. You say that you love me but there is no emotion in those words."
Iggycat stepped back a little. "Owners are always arguing too. It must be because we're like them. I would show more emotion if you simply asked me nicer. Why do you always have to so things without asking me? Like going to war!" He hissed, remembering he wasn't notified.
"I just told you because we just found out it was approved. The president approved yesterday, so America and I came over!"
"Well good, I missed you!" Iggycat meowed, closing his eyes.
Americat refrained from rolling his eyes. This conversation was going in circles. "I missed you too, but I will leave soon. I want to spend the rest of my time with you!" He sighed again. "Please just tell me your feelings or this will be harder than it needs to be."
Iggycat glanced away a little before he reassessed himself and sat in front of the younger feline. "I'm just a little worried. What of you get hurt? Not that I don't trust my mate..." He added.
"Like I said before, I have a set of specially made Kevlar. I won't directly go into battle unless absolutely necessary, I promise you that. I have only been assigned to spy on suspicious people," explained that bigger cat.
Iggycat nodded as he snuggled up to him a little. "It just gets so boring here without you," he complained.
"Then play with your owner or even Seakit."
Iggycat shook his head. "Don't you see owners busy? Besides, Seakit has probably already set out for Finlandcat's home. He doesn't stay here very much anymore.
"I don't mean now! After they are done making kittens! England will need to take his mind off of things, so you could distract him." Americat wiggled his butt again, jumping on the fence with a perfect landing.. "Come on, we have very little time together."
Iggycat nodded and raised his head up a little as he followed. "I have no intention of making kittens." He informed, then looking at him. "...just so you know of course."
Americat's ear drooped a bit. He always wanted kittens with Englandcat. He knew it wasn't possible for his mate to carry them, but simply adopt. Seakit couldn't do because the kit always bounced between Iggycat's and Finlandcat's home.
"We don't have to make them, per say. We could adopt; I don't want you messing with England's magic."
"Oh no, I was not talking about having kits... Just how you...make one..." Iggycat explained as he glanced away.
Americat sighed. "Yeah, I know."
Iggycat nodded as well as he looked around. "So..." He muttered, messing with his paw a little. "What to do." He mewed.
"Why don't we go back inside and cuddle?"
"Why don't we adventure a little?" Iggycat argued in a lower voice.
"Where do you want to go?"
"There are so many interesting places: the park, a human house, a friend's house? Please nowhere near Seacat." The smaller tried to come up with a place to go.
"Seakit," corrected Americat. "He still is a kit, although he is growing." He looked at the house. "I don't know. I don't feel like going anywhere. Why do you want to leave?"
"I never go out alone. Take me somewhere?" He asked.
"Why?"
"I don't like to go out alone! There are a lot of cats who'd like to hurt others you know." Iggycat reminded.
"Yes, but you are strong, Englandcat. You can fight. I want to go sleep in our cushion in the office." Americat jumped into the yard. "I think I will go to sleep now."
Iggycat nodded and sighed a little as Americat left for inside. Iggycat sat on the fence, tilting his head toward the sky. "War," he whispered, "My mate is going to war."
CC101- Hey! So once you go ready chapter three, check out number four! Then, go to my profile! Both these chapters started from the same prompt, but then took different routes. Which was more satisfying?
