A/N: Basically this is the same thing as my Jori ficlets collection: a place to put all the short Bemily things I write.
We're starting out strong with the adoption of a cat that Emily insists on.
"Beca, we have to get him."
When they had arrived at the cat shelter that afternoon, Beca had been expecting to leave with a Tom or an Oreo. And there had been plenty of Toms and Oreos looking for good homes (or looking to keep on taking their afternoon naps without being disturbed by humans), but the cat that Emily had fallen in love with at first sight was named neither of those.
Instead, it seemed as though they would be leaving with an—
"Egg Salad. Egg Salad, Beca. Come on, when have you ever heard of a cat with that name before?"
Beca looked back to the cage with a sigh, only to see the cage's occupant staring patiently back at her. The orange tabby did remind her of a cat she'd had as a kid that she had loved to chase around the house until he got tired of the game and would hiss at her and one time had scratched her and her dad had come running to her as she cried, and—
"Beca?"
Beca shook her head before sighing again as she looked back at her girlfriend. "Fine, we can get him, since you seem to have your heart set."
Emily's eyes lit up and she turned back to the cage, sticking her fingers through the bars as she cooed at the future newest member of their family. The cat instantly bent his head down to sniff at her, before rubbing his cheeks against them, and that officially sealed it.
And even though Emily had found and picked out the cat, Egg Salad's favorite place to nap quickly became Beca's lap.
A/N: I'm not sure how updates will go (as of right now I have two other ideas in the wings to write), but we'll see! For now, thanks for reading the first chapter!
