Why Can't I Love You
By Robin Girl Chapter 2
(Alrighty, now to answer some reviews: .sugar? *grins and licks her lips* maaybe..^_^ Hee hee!! Yup. But I didn't come up with the idea that way, naw that is saved for my other Mistoffelees stories!!! Sugar High Robin Girl is not one you get mad or make fun of!!! *holds out fire balls * . To answer another one, about the plot being angst and no one approving of the couple, well I'm sorry to say that this chapter is one of those clichés. I just had to put it in, sorry. Buuut the next chapter puts some plot into it and gets rid of the cliché kind of..ok not completely.how do you write a slash story with out that cliché? I guess that will be my newest challenge..*writes it down somewhere * Glad everyone likes the new couple!! Me too but I prefer Tugger with Misto!!! Waaai couple!! Oh and about Tugger being a father figure, I didn't think that at first until I watched the video about um..1000000 times and was on sugar high, slash high, and started to come up with ideas on who raised Misto. Oh and then I found Tuxedo Capers which only made my 'illness' worse. That story is VERY addictive. Promise!!! Oh and I added another slash couple in here with it: Plato/Tumble. Yes I know I am GETTING BRAVE!! Wahahaha!! Enjoy this chappy!!)
A few moments later an older Queen walked over not looking pleased. "I see the kittens weren't lying."
"Ah, Jenny Dear, how are you these days?"
The Queen hissed, "Don't Jenny Dear me, you know very well why I'm mad at you."
Mistoffelees snuggled closer confused. What was she so mad about? "It's alright lad." Skimble absently began to rub Misto's ears. "Jenny stop yelling, you're scaring him."
"He is to young for you! I thought you were better than this?" Jenny was furious, Skimble promised never to break the innocence of a kitten. "He's barely a tom."
Mistoffelees felt insulted, "Hey," He sat up his arms still around Skimble's neck, "I'm a Tom thank you, I'm not a kitten anymore."
Jenny looked sympathetically at the black tom, "Are you sure you want this dear?"
"Yes."
"Jenny, calm down, you know very well that I would never hurt the lad. I love him dearly and would risk anything for his life and love. Go back and take care of the kittens." The Rail-Way Cat watched the Queen reluctantly stomp off.
"Skimble, why is everyone so against us being together?"
"Well love, some people are blind and can't accept the fact that life doesn't go the way it should sometimes. But don't you worry. As long as you are happy and content, nothing can stand in your way." Mistoffelees nodded and laid back to the position he was in before the older Queen had appeared. This was so confusing; he was glad that he had Skimble here to help.
*~*~*~*
"Munkus, you are pacing.." Tugger said sitting down in front of his brother. "What is wrong?"
"I'm worried about Quaxo."
Tugger sighed and rolled his eyes. He'd about had it with other Cats and Misto and Skimble. The two were happy why couldn't the others just accept that? "Why is everyone so worried about Misto? He's happy Munkus, what more do you want?" "You aren't worried at all? Tugger, this..this isn't right. Mistoffelees is supposed to be in love with Queens. I know I told Skimble that I was alright with it but I'm not." Trappy stopped and looked unbelievingly at Tugger. "You seem so content with this?"
"I am content. Sometimes life doesn't go how it's supposed to. This is how it's going to be. I won't have you trying to change Quaxo into something he's not. He already has enough to worry about." Tugger stood his gaze hardening, "For once in his life Misto is happy, truly happy, and I'm not going to have you or some other old geezer ruining it for him."
"But the Everlasting Cat didn't make it this way." Munkus shot back crossing his arms.
Tugger sighed again, this was one subject that he wasn't going to back down on. His Mistoffelees was happy and content with life. This wasn't fair to his friend or Skimble. "You are only looking through your eyes Trap."
"My eyes?"
"Yes. Just think for a minute, seriously," Tugger walked closer and motioned for his brother to sit, "Look at this from Misto's POV."
Munkustrap sighed and obeyed then waited for Tugger to begin. "I'm waiting."
"You are the smallest Tom in the whole tribe, none of the girls to your surprise and disappointment appeal to you the slightest bit. Then you go and ask why only to find that you aren't the only one. Aren't you the slightest excited that you'll be able to love someone finally and he'll love you back?"
Munkustrap actually felt a little differently than before. He closed his eyes and put himself in Mistoffelees' shoes. Tugger was right, he did have a point. Trappy suddenly felt alone, the feeling ran through his body covering every inch of him. So this was what Mistoffelees was feeling.
"How does it feel?" Tugger asked after a moment.
Munkus looked up embarrassingly, "Lonely.."
"Yeh, that's how he has felt everyday up until now."
"Guess I was wrong.but! I still don't approve of it."
"Just don't mess it up with Misto and Skimble. You don't have to approve of it." Tugger watched his brother stand then grinned, "Besides someone named Demeter needs some TLC.."
Munkustrap blushed and walked out not saying a word to reply or comment. Tugger shook his head and laid down putting his hands behind his head, this was going to take a long time for this to happen.
*~*~*~*
Skimble had just drifted off to sleep when he heard a shout. His eyes scanned the yard worriedly. Two cats he'd never seen before were surrounding Tumblebrutus, Plato, and, Skimble stood immediately, MISTOFFELEES!! "Excuse me lads can I help you?"
One of the cats was brown with a black belly. He turned to the Marmalade Cat and hissed, "What do you want?"
"I want you to leave these Tom's alone. Chances are they haven't done a thing to you." Skimble replied glaring and hissing back.
The other cat slashed at Misto and Tumble with his claws then answered the Skimble. "They were over here kissing each other. That's not right."
Skimble felt a low growl rumble up from his stomach to his throat then out his mouth. That was it, so much for being civil about it. "I'm going ask you two blokes again, please remove yourselves."
"Or what?"
"What are you going to do to us?
In the back of his eye Skimble saw that Plato had both Misto and Tumble in his arms and was moving back slowly not wanting to be caught in the brawl. At least now he could hurt these two with out injuring the others. "What am I going to do to you?"
"Yes, that was the question."
Before he could use his claws Asparagus Jr. walked over and stopped him. "Aspa?"
"What is going on?" A brown, white, and gray tomcat older than Skimble appeared not looking to happy. "Alfraz, Miken, get out of here and back to your tribe. You're not welcome here anymore you know that."
The Cats hissed and started walking. Alfraz stopped right infront of Plato and the other two and got a good scratch on Misto's temple. Miken followed his example and gave Tumble a nice deep scratch on his shoulder. Then together they both left.
Asparagus Jr. followed to make sure they went the right way leaving Skimble and the others alone. Skimble knelt down and took Mistoffelees from Plato. "That's a nice scratch eh, love?" The younger Tom whimpered snuggling close. Right now he wasn't having the best of days. "Shh don't you worry, we'll get you fixed up lad. How is Tumble?"
Plato looked up still confused at Skimble's actions towards Mistoffelees' safety. It wasn't fatherly love, no it was more, almost like they were lovers. No one but Misto knew about he and Tumble. The two had found love early and had gotten together. Mistoffelees had been there and was sworn to not tell a soul. Then earlier today Misto said he had a Tom that he loved but wouldn't tell who. Could the Tom Misto loved be Skimbleshanks? A groan from Tumblebrutus and wince of pain from Misto pulled him out of his thoughts. Skimble had planted himself down on the ground and was now checking the deep scratch that Alfraz had given Misto over.
"Plato, I think I'm bleeding.."
That soft shy voice almost sounded like Misto's voice but it was a bit deeper and little older. "Hmm? Oh, we need to get that wrapped up." Plato smiled and nuzzeled Tumble between his ears lovingly. "Think you can stand?"
Tumble stood using Plato's arm for support. "Where are we going?" He asked quietly stealing a glance from Skimbleshanks.
"You are going right over here. I'm going to get something to help you and Misto out."
Skimble let go of Mistoffelees for a second and helped Tumble kneel down. "So lads, tell me what happened?"
"We were minding our own business talk to Mist about you and him. Plato kissed me then the next thing I know Mistoffelees is thrown at us and those cats were in front of us hitting and scratching us. Mistoffelees are you alright?"
Mistoffelees blushed from all of the attention he was getting. Sure he liked being noticed but he was a very shy cat and didn't like for people to spend time on him. Mistoffelees was nothing but an existence. Tugger had tried many times when Mist was younger and even now to change his friend's thoughts. Mistoffelees, wouldn't listen and ignored the words. "I'm fine, you needn't worry, it's just a scratch." Alright, that wasn't true either, Mist sighed inwardly when Skimble raised his eyebrows. This cat wasn't stupid, Mist thought to himself, he has a brain.
"You aren't alright and if you don't lie down I'll make you lie down." Skimbleshanks gently pulled Mistoffelees backwards to where the black Tom's head was in his lap. He smiled and kissed Misto's forehead. "Don't you say a word my dear boy. I'm allowed to take care of you."
"Alright Alright!! You win!!! But don't leave Tumble out.."
"Hey now, this isn't between me, I have my lover."
"His lover is right here, now sit down beside me love, I'm going to fix this up. Here ya go Skimble, wrap this around Misto's head it should stop the bleeding." Plato sat down and wrapped Tumble's arm up then held him close snuggling and cuddling.
