The Cat Wavers

Prompt: Interim

Words: 244

By the time morning came, Sasuke was a ball of restless energy. He had spent about half the night wandering the apartment, and the other half shifting about on a lumpy mattress. As for the source of that anxiety . . . well, it could have been the unpleasant scent that clung to the sheets; or maybe it was the fact that he would be heading down to meet Darui and his friend in a matter of hours.

Sasuke figured it was both.

Naruto was out the door by eight, and Sasuke found himself utterly at a loss. Darui had told him that he wouldn't be off work until two, so…what was he supposed to do until then? His toys held no appeal, and there was no way in hell that he would be able to nap feeling the way he did. He found himself thinking back on his reflection for what must have been the twentieth time that day.

Even if it was possible to become human, was it something he could really allow himself? Naruto doted on him as a cat, and being human didn't exactly seem like a walk in the park. The very idea of Naruto pushing him away made him feel ill. There was so much to consider; how was he supposed to make such a big decision?

"It's a one way street though, you follow? No going back."

Sasuke laid his head down on his paws. He didn't know what to do.


I'd like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of my reviewers. Though I don't always have the time to send out a prompt response, I've read each and every one. Your kind words never fail to brighten my day. ; U; I wish I could give all of you a little kitty Sasuke of your own!

Anyways, Chapter 27 is coming right up (hopefully before midnight, haha).
