Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty

30 Day OTP Challenge

TuggerxMisto

Disclaimer: Again, I don't own the challenge. I dunno who does but I got it from Batsutousai. I don't own Cats either - that belongs to T.S. Elliot.

A/N: Just in case there's any confusion, the cats are usually cat-people like in the movie, bodies like humans but look like cats. But they can shift into four-legged cats at will.

Rum Tum Tuggette: I'll try to update every day, that's the point of the 30 day challenge. Just depends on if I have internet or not.

Day 3: Gaming or Watching a Movie

"Come on, Sparkles!" Tugger called happily, looking over his shoulder at his mate. Said mate rolled his eyes at the nickname and walked towards the older tom. Tugger had recently taken up the hobby of giving Misto nicknames relating to his appearance or personality. "Sparkles" had been created after his song during the Jellicle Ball, when his fur developed a tendency to light up and sparkle. Tugger's other favorite names to use were "Tux," which was pretty obvious considering Misto's fur pattern, and "Misty," which he had been called when he lost a bet and had to spend an entire day as a queen (after which Misto learned to never make bets when playing games with Alonzo, no matter how much magic you have on your side).

"Where are we going, Tugger?" the younger tom asked, walking beside his mate. All the maned tom had said was that they were going out of the junkyard. He refused to say where. This made Misto nervous, as he hadn't been out of the junkyard since he first became a Jellicle. He had set up a home there right after his initiation, and he never wanted to leave.

As they got further away from the yard, Tugger shifted into his domestic form. Even more nervous, Misto copied the movement.

"Where are we going?" he asked again. "You're scaring me."

"Don't worry about it, Tux," Tugger replied. Misto sighed – he hated that answer.

"If you don't give me some idea where we're going, I'm turning around and heading back to the yard," Misto threatened. He knew Tugger hated it when Misto walked away from him. He felt mean even considering it, but he was scared.

Tugger stopped walking just before they reached an old movie theater. He turned to look at his mate with pleading eyes. "Trust me."

Misto sighed in defeat. He couldn't turn Tugger down when he looked so innocent. "Fine," he agreed, "let's go."

Tugger smiled and looked up at the old theater. "We're here."

Misto quirked an eyebrow. "The theater?"

Tugger nodded.

"Why?"

"Come on, I'll show you."

The maned tom walked around the theater to the side closest to the alley. He looked up, searching for an open window. He found one in what seemed to be the men's restroom. He leapt up onto the windowsill before looking down at his mate, nodding for him to follow. Taking a deep breath, the tuxedo tom jumped into the window, nervously following Tugger through the bathroom. They hid behind the trashcan beside the door, waiting for someone to walk in. After a few moments, someone did, and they quickly made their way out of the bathroom. They stuck in the shadows along the wall, making sure the few humans that were there were too busy with other things to notice them. The theater was old, meaning it only played five or six movies and rarely had customers, but it still worked. And the old-ness of the building left many openings for mice, cats, and other small creatures to sneak in.

"Come on," Tugger whispered, sauntering down the hallway in search of a specific movie. He glanced up and read one title, grinning in triumph. He looked over his shoulder at Misto and whispered, "This one." Misto looked up and read the sign, giving a small smile. The Prestige – a movie about magicians and their stage acts; the perfect movie for a magical cat. He followed Tugger into the correct room and took a seat in the shadows of the very back row. They were off in a corner, so even if there were more than a few people in the room, they wouldn't be seen.

"Is this a good surprise?" Tugger asked as the opening credits began.

Misto smiled up at his mate. "It's wonderful." He nuzzled into Tugger's mane and turned his attention to the screen. Maybe he should learn to just trust the older tom.
