"Hey, Nep. Pass me a cookie?"
Nepeta picks up the last cookie on the plate. "You mean... this cookie?"
"Yeah," Roxy smiles.
Nepeta doesn't move, she just keeps grinning. "This cookie right here? The last of the yummy cookies Jane baked for us? That's what you want me to pass?"
Roxy sighs, stands up and walks over to her, holding out her hand to take the cookie. Nepeta yanks it out of the way.
"Please?" Roxy asks, reaching it for again, but Nepeta dances backwards out of reach.
"Are you sure?" she teases.
Roxy sees the game now. She smiles, and walks slowly after her friend, who keeps skipping just out of arm's reach.
"You don't seem sure..." Nepeta taunts with a wicked smile. "If you don't want it, I could eat it for you. I'd be happy to – oh!"
Nepeta tries to leap out of the way of Roxy's sudden attack, but Roxy has manoeuvred her into a corner and she has nowhere to go. Soon, Roxy's hands are on her, tickling until her knees buckle, but when a hand grasps for the cookie she holds on tight.
Thwarted, Roxy instead reaches behind Nepeta's ear, rubbing at that sensitive spot which makes any cat melt. With a breathless shriek, Nepeta rolls her head into the sensation –
And drops the cookie. In a flash, Roxy snatches it up, and retreats across the room.
"Thanks!" she calls, placing it in her mouth.
"No fair! That's mine!" Nepeta leaps at Roxy, pinning her to the floor, and she snatches the cookie away with her teeth, pulling it into her mouth in three quick bites.
Roxy laughs, leans up and kisses her. Shocked, Nepeta's mouth goes slack as Roxy's tongue pushes eagerly against hers.
Roxy pulls back, and Nepeta's mouth feels strangely empty. Roxy giggles, sticking out her tongue to reveal the cookie pieces, and finally begins to chew.
"I win!" Roxy tells her gleefully when she swallows the last bite.
Nepeta smiles. "I suppose you do. Cheater."
Then she pulls the last cookie from her pocket, and pops it into her mouth.
