The Cat Prince
Pairing: Lavi/Kanda
Lavi was walking through a matter meadow, laughing at the butterflies flitting around his head when he spied a little cat lying under a tree.
Lavi skipped over to see the dear thing and was upset to find that he was hurt! A knife had pierced his nice little back and he whimpered softly with the pain.
"My odd little friend," Lavi said. "Let me help you!" He took out his Leatherman Multi-Purpose tool and pulled out the knife, as quickly as he could. The cat cried out and Lavi's heart ached. "You'll be all right," He whispered. "I'll take care of you. I'll call you Kanda and you can live with me forever!"
Scooping Kanda up in his arms, Lavi carried him home and made a bed for him beside his own. For seven days and seven nights, Lavi nursed Kanda, cleaning his back and feeding him Meow Mix-brand cat chow.
On the eighth night, Kanda climbed into bed with Lavi. He burrowed under the covers and kindly hugged Lavi's arm. It made Lavi giggle and he cuddled close to Kanda, stroking his head and singing gently to him.
They continued that way for a long time. Every day, Lavi hurried home so he could curl up with Kanda. It gave him a warm feeling whenever Kanda hugged his arm.
Then one night, Kanda looked up at Lavi and said, "If you kiss me, I will become a prince."
Lavi yelped, he was so surprised. How could a cat talk? He must have drifted off and dreamed it.
"You're not dreaming," Kanda said. "Kiss me."
"Don't tell anyone I screamed like that," Lavi said and kissed Kanda on his head. The air swirled and suddenly, there stood a prince! With a crown and everything!
"I'm Prince Kanda," he said. "I was cursed. It's a long story."
"Is it really you?" Lavi said.
"See?" Kanda said and showed Lavi the scar from the knife on his back. Then he kissed Lavi and they tumbled on the bed and did a lot of things.
"I love you," Lavi said when they were done. Kanda clasped him close and they lived together happily ever after on all the prince's treasure Kanda had stashed away.
And if Lavi didn't know about Kanda's visits to the cat sanctuary, well, it wouldn't hurt him.
