"I swear to Etro if you claw me one more time Bub, just one more time; I'll skin you alive" Lightning grumbled at the small cat sat upon the counter.

The pinkette was attempting to chop some vegetables, however every time her hand moved Bub clawed at her. Sure he was trying to be playful and affectionate but Lightning didn't appreciate the distraction. No, the only distraction she liked was 5,3 and had emerald green eyes that made her heart soar.

Lightning cautiously began chopping again, the small tabby watching her curiously before he struck again.

"Dammit Bub!" Lightning growled as she picked the cat up, glaring at him.

"Why don't you go bother someone who cares" the pinkette grumbled threateningly – the cat oblivious to her anger.

"Aw Lightning, don't act like you don't love him. He was only playing" A familiar sweet voice spoke from behind her.

Lightning turned to a smiling Vanille, the smaller girl barely able to contain her amusement.

"Yes, because clawing my hand is 'playing'" Lightning frowned as she put the cat down to the floor, her foot pushing him to walk away.

"The great Lightning was bested by a cat? My my, you're losing you edge" Vanille giggled as she sauntered over. Lightning blushed slightly, holding her hand gingerly in the other.

"To be fair he is a fat cat and has sharp claws. I think you feed him too much" Lightning commented.

"I don't see you complaining" Vanille countered with a sly smile as she jabbed a finger to Lightning's well defined stomach. They both knew if Lightning didn't exercise as much as she did she'd probably have a more protruding stomach.

Lightning paused before grinning widely and said, "Touché"

Vanille gently reached for Lightning's recently scratched hand, a small frown appearing on her features as she looked at it.

"Are you serious? He barely caught the skin"

"It still hurts...kiss it better?" Lightning whined dramatically, obviously just wanting the attention.

With a roll of her eyes Vanille bent down, her lips ghosting over the red marks before she left a butterfly kiss, causing goosebumps to rise in her wake.

"My lips hurt too" Lightning mumbled.

Vanille giggled as her emerald eyes met Lightning's icy blues and she leaned up on her tip toes. They shared a smile reserved for their tender moments, before their lips met in a slow but sweet kiss. The moment lasted for what felt like an eternity, however neither wanted it to end. Unfortunately a certain little cat thought the opposite and decided his claws needed to scratch something – the something being Lightning's foot.

"BUB!"

A/N: So this chap was inspired when Bub started clawing me when I was trying to make my dinner ;-; Still have the scratches.
Anywhore I hope you enjoyed, I'm trying to get back into writing without giving up halfway. Sorry but dealing with exam questions everyday in english makes my head want to explode and really puts me off writing. Which also puts me off of reading ;-;

QUESTION! Have any of you read or watched the movie of "The Great Gatsby"? What did you think of it? I'm going to read the book after I saw the film a few days ago - fucking amazing if I do say so myself :D
You know the drill boys and girl~

Peace Out!~
