Rumpelteazer stood beside the junk pile, taking a calming breath. She could hear him on the other side. The sound of his small explosions, him muttering to himself; even him setting up a target. She could do this - it was going to be a piece of mouse cake.
It always was.
She checked the pile behind her, finding Mungojerrie's eyes before she slowly walked around; her fingers sliding over the uneven surface of the junk. She stood a few feet away from him. His dark back was to her as his paws sparkled. He remained concentrated on a delicate ceramic vase which exploded into a small cloud of dust as he threw his paw toward it.
"'Tha's 'mpresive," Rumpel commented, causing him to whirl around in surprise. "I pr'fer ta knock them down meself... More... personal tha' way. Don'cha t'ink?"
Mistoffelees remained frozen in place; his eyes slowly roaming over her as he took in her appearance. Good... He noticed. He was supposed to. She just couldn't help feeling guilty while he looked her over. She wasn't his to look at. She wasn't quite Mungojerrie's but... She liked to think that she was. She watched as his mouth moved wordlessly, her own mouth turning up into a small smirk. "Yer gittin' bettah at it..."
"Uh... Yeah," he nodded, regaining him composure. He brushed a paw through his headfur and straightened up. "Tha... Thanks."
"I din'... " she trailed off, walking towards him. "Distract ya? Did I?"
"What? Who? Me? No," he said, shaking his head as he tried to adapt what would be a casual demeanor for The Rum Tum Tugger. He propped his elbow up onto a piece of junk and leaned on it. "I was just about to take a break anyways..."
"Tha's goo'," she nodded, giving him a smile. "We're ya here long?"
"Maybe an hour," he considered. That figured out about right... He would have come at sun up... Which was just about when she started to get herself ready. Hard to fix herself up with no light. "So..." he said slowly, watching the ground. "What brings you here?"
"Jerrie snuck out wit'out me. Went t'eivin' he did... " she said, giving her red ball a bounce. She watched as his eyes followed the ball down and then back up towards her chest; where she caught it. "An' I wuz bohr'd... Sew I went fer a wahlk..."
"A walk toward here?"
"Yea'," she nodded, starting to slink towards him. She could almost feel Mungojerrie's eyes burning into her the closer she got to Mistoffelees. The dark tom looked away. He wasn't sure just what her relationship was with Mungojerrie - but it was clear that Rumpelteazer was not to be touched... Or looked at the wrong way. She placed her paw under his chin, turning his face back towards hers. She leaned in close to him, her mouth stopping just short of his. "Ya wanna join me?"
He weakly nodded his head; feeling her warm breath on his lips and whiskers. Not to mention that he was catching her scent... Which was rather intoxicating... Did it still count as touching her if she was the one doing all the touching?
"Goo'," she said, slowly pulling away from him. She started to walk away, her hips swinging slightly. She looked over her shoulder at him; seeing Mungojerrie in the heap of trash behind him. He looked hurt... She didn't even do anything and he was hurt... Maybe she thought that she kissed him... He told her to take it as far as she had to... "Ya comin'," she asked, lowering her eyes slightly, down to Mistoffelees who nodded; walking after her. She waited until he caught up with her before she reached for his paw. She took it in her own before she placed it around her waist. He looked up at her worriedly but was put at ease with one lustful look from her.
A/N: I never want to get back on another Ferry boat ever again... The only good that came from it is that I have the next 3 chapters written... The next two are short... They'll be posted close together...
Aevany - It was the jazzy version that they sang at CEC... I'm surprised that it came off in this.
Kill me now
