"Reno…what is that?" The red head turned to see his blond lover, standing by the door. The delivery boy was starring down at his own feet, where a small ball of grey fuzz sat starring back up at him. They looked at each other as if to say 'What are YOU doing here?' The site made the Turk grin.
"That," he said, crossing to the pair, "is Abigail." The Turk leaned over and scooped up the small kitten. "Rude found her in that storm yesterday. His dog, Ginger, doesn't like cats so Rufus said I could keep her!" The red head nuzzled the kitten affectionately, and then held her out to Cloud. "Want to hold her, she's really soft!" Cloud looked at the cat skeptically. "Don't tell me you're a dog person!" Reno faked hurt as he held the kitten. "Cause you know if I had to choose between the two of you right now I think Abie would win." Cloud frowned but reluctantly took the cat as the Turk offered her again.
"I would never take you to be a cat person, Reno," he commented at the a small, pink tongue licked his gloved hand. The Turk shrugged, his grin widening. The kitten bit down on Cloud's thumb. "Hey!" It didn't hurt him through the black fabric, but he still didn't appreciate the sharp teeth that could possibly puncture the glove. He handed the cat back. "You should train it not to bite." Reno laughed at this as he placed the kitten on the ground.
"You can't train cats, chocobo head!"
"Yah, well, I have a bad feeling that this thing is going to be more trouble than your ready for. Have you ever had a pet before?" Reno though for a moment.
"I had a goldfish for about a week when I was ten." Cloud shook his head.
"Doesn't count. Pets need food, water, attention. You'll need to scoop it's litter box and take it to the vet. Are you sure you have the time to do all of that?"
The red head just grinned. "Don't be jealous just cause somebody else will be getting some of my attention. Cloud rolled his eyes.
"Whatever."
-----------
A week later, and Cloud really hated the cat. The cat was doing perfectly well, but Cloud's sex life was suffering. Three times the animal had jumped onto Reno's lap while the redhead was making out with the blond, and the Turk refused to move, for fear he might disturb the kitten. One Reno had suddenly jumped out of Cloud's bed, half dressed, remembering he had forgotten to feed Abigail. No matter what Cloud did or said, when it concerned that cat, Reno always left to take care of the furry friend, leaving Cloud jealous, frustrated, and horny.
"Reno, I hate your stupid cat," Cloud announced one day after being interrupted yet again by the fuzz ball.
"Oh, no you don't. How could hate something so cute?" Reno held up the cat for better viewing. In testimony to it's cuteness, the cat yawned and licked Reno's hand. Cloud just frowned. Reno went to go get food for Abigail, leaving the blond alone with the fuzz ball.
"He's mine, so just lay off," he told the cat. Abigail gave him a cool look that plainly said 'Yours? Not anymore, bud.'
---------
Things went on like this for quite sometime. But kitten grow up fast, and soon Abigail did not require as much attention. She seemed to showing her owner that she really was an independent cat. She stopped always sleeping in the bed with him (which had always annoyed Cloud) and actually started refusing attention. One day she fought out of the redhead's arms when he picked her up. As she walked by Cloud on her way to her favorite napping place by the window, she looked at him as if to say 'Ok, I'm done with it now. You can have it back.'
Later Reno saw Cloud sitting on the couch, the kitten in his lap, reading a book about cats he had borrowed from Marlene. The Turk smiled. 'I knew they could co-exist in peace.'

Me: What the hell is this?
Muse: You wrote it.
Me: Yah, but it's total crap! It has a beginning, barely a middle, and no end!
Muse: Yah, so just label it a really long drabble and be done with it.
Me: Oh, good idea!
Muse: That's why I'm here.
Review please!
