A/N: This takes place a while after the other Monster stories. In my 'verse, David and Matt Li (The Asian FBI Tech on the show) are roommates.
Somebody in Need—
"C'mon, Don," David begged. "At least come over and meet him."
"We don't need another cat," Don said. "How'd you end up with one, anyway?"
"It started out as a joke," David said, slumping in his chair. "Matt got some tuna in case any neighborhood cats wandered into our apartment, and this cat must've heard about it, because he shows up on our doorstep the next day and won't leave."
"You start feeding him and he stays," Don said wryly. "Big surprise."
"He's a cool cat," David said, his desperation evident. "Lots of fun and doesn't mess stuff up and asks at the door when he needs to go outside instead of a litter box."
"So, why don't you keep him?"
"Matt's allergic," David groaned. "Coughing and sneezing and pretending he just has a cold."
"Maybe he has a cold."
"What kinda investigator do you think I am? He's definitely allergic to the cat."
"There are animal shelters ..."
"Matt'll never agree to it. He's worried they'll euthanize him."
Don grimaced at the truth in that statement. There were too many cats in LA for any shelter to handle.
He must have looked like he was caving, because David said quickly, "He's got his shots and been neutered. He's in good shape, the vet says. … Well, she said that after removing his claws from her face. Didn't really like the vet. He was okay on the ride there and back though – he likes to ride in the car, just like your cat."
Don sighed. "Okay, no promises."
So it was that Don and Will ended up bringing their cat over to David and Matt's apartment, just "to see."
David and Matt brought their cat out to their front porch and Don and Will set down theirs.
"Monster, meet Dragon."
