**********************
Mistoffelees had an amazing ability to hide. At least when he used magic. He wasn't quite sure why he hadn't thought of it before, he couldn't be found hidden behind and illusion. Two days since his last encounter with Tugger, two more days to the ball.
After he kissed Tugger he couldn't help but be amazed by the courage he had had at the time. He also couldn't believe his stupidity. Of course the action he took was much easier then actually telling Tugger how he felt. He would obviously know how he felt after the incident. And it was nice to be able to know what it was like, kissing him, since he knew he would never be able to do it again.
Is it even worth staying? He could leave of course. Go some where new, start over. Get some family to adopt him, get as far away from Tugger as possible. What was the point in staying, he ruined his friendship with Tug by his actions. And what if Tug told everyone else? He wouldn't be able to face anyone anymore, the embarrassment would be too much. That's why they say look before you leap, think about the consequences of your actions. It was strange that a mere kiss could ruin his life. But it was worth it, one kiss was worth it all.
Mistoffelees sighed heavily and stretched out on his back. He never imagined his life would turn into such a mess. But then again, perhaps he was born to be different. Why should that stop at magic? He was smaller then a lot of the other cat's, much shyer than the other cat's, in love with a Tom. He couldn't help but wonder if they mislabeled him. Perhaps he was the curious cat, he seemed far more unusual then Tugger. Tugger...
He couldn't stop thinking about him. Not matter what he though about all of his thoughts found their way back to Tugger. Tuggers smile, Tuggers voice, Tuggers lips, Tuggers smell...
Mistoffelees opened his eyes abruptly, Tuggers face inches from his. He gasped rolled over quickly and stood, moving several feet away from Tugger. He took a slightly defensive stance, his eyes narrowed. Tugger merely gave a cocky smile, paws at his hips.
"You know it get's harder and harder to find you but I seem to be able to do it in less time."
"How did... I mean I was..what!" was all Misto was able to splutter.
"Sorry didn't catch that," Tugger said smugly
"How did you find me! I was hidden by my magic, you shouldn't have been able to find me!"
"When The Rum Tum Tugger want's to find something nothing can stop him, not even magic. Magic can't hide your smell, and I know your smell Misto." He took a step forward.
"Look Tug if this is about the other day, I'm sorry alright, it won't happen again just don't hurt me okay?" Misto took a few more panicked steps backwards.
"Misto I didn't come here to hurt you." He said patiently
"Then I'll just leave, I understand, you don't have to tell me to go." Mistoffelees lowered his head and began to walk quickly away.
"My god will you just wait a second," he snapped pushing Misto to ground and proceeding to kneel in front of him. "It would be easier to talk if you would shut up."
"I–"
"Nuh uh, slilence from you." He said holding up is paw. "So my guess is that you..." he made a non-descript gesture with his paws. "I mean because you..." another non-descript gesture. "The other day." He finished.
Mistoffelees only looked at him, eyebrows raised.
"Well I mean..." Tugger suddenly became very flustered looking. Mistoffelees didn't even try to hide his surprise and Tuggers sudden embarrassment.
"What do you mean?" He asked
"You know for someone so clever you sure are stupid," without warning Tugger fell forward pinning Misto to the ground and kissing him soundly on the lips. Misto tensed instantly, but almost as soon as he had tensed he relaxed. Tugger smiled but did not remove his lips for the dark cat. He did enjoy the feel of his heart stopping mid beat, and he wondered if Misto felt it to.
