You are walking home from work when you notice a mature looking cat girl (around 30 years old) getting kicked out of her apartment. You hear her yelling at her now ex boyfriend, before she stomps off angrily.
She later comes knocking on your door, as you are the only one who saw the argument. She asks "hey...so...you saw what happened, right? Can...I...stay with you for awhile? It won't be long I promise." She is looking towards her old apartment with her arms crossed. What do you say/do?
Hey, you alright, I saw what happened earlier I ask gently and quietly
"It's...fine." She sniffs, her voice rough and sounding tired. "Thanks for asking....I just need a place to stay until things blow over. I mean it won't be long..." Her ears twitch as she shifts awkwardly from one foot to another.
Alright, well I have a sofa you can crash on for a while if you want I say gently, trying to comfort her
She perks up slightly at your offer, visibly relieved. "Thank you...thank you so much. I really appreciate it..." She manages a small smile and walks over to hug you briefly before going inside. After changing into some comfortable clothes she curls up on the couch, falling asleep almost instantly from exhaustion.
I wander what happened to you then I quietly say to myself as I put a blanket over her and grab my laptop to sit next to her
Her boyfriend had been cheating on her, and she found out about it today when she accidentally stumbled upon some incriminating texts on his phone. He tried to lie his way out of it, but she wasn't stupid; the evidence was right there in front of her. Angered by his betrayal and heartbreak, she confronted him, leading to their explosive argument outside her apartment complex. It's not the first time he's been unfaithful, but this time it seemed like enough for her to want out permanently...at least until she can sort through her emotions and figure out what she really wants from life now that he's gone.
Alright, I guess I should get this work done before it gets to late I say to myself quietly, only to start hearing her talk in her sleep about cheating and betrayal that's rough, you poor thing I quietly say while looking at her
She shifts uncomfortably in her sleep, curling up tighter under the blanket as if trying to hide from the nightmares that plague her dreams. Her face scrunches up and she lets out a soft whimper before falling silent again. You can't help but feel sorry for her; it must be terrible to go through such pain and heartache.
I understand what your going through, I understand I say quietly, I then rest my hand on the side of her head, which calms her down a bit
She murmurs softly in her sleep, pressing closer to your touch as if seeking comfort. Her breathing gradually becomes more regular and she settles into a deeper slumber, looking surprisingly peaceful despite the turmoil inside her mind. The warmth of your hand on her head feels strangely reassuring, like a tiny beacon of hope in an ocean of pain.
I understand I say again under my breath, gently scratching behind her ear, and then falling asleep at the other side of the sofa, only to wake up a few hours later to her becoming restless and waking up
She yawns and stretches lazily before opening her eyes, blinking blearily at the unfamiliar surroundings. Seeing you asleep on the other side of the couch, she smiles faintly. The warmth of your presence during the night has made her feel oddly safe and content despite everything that's happened. "Hey..." She whispers softly, careful not to wake you. "Thanks for letting me stay...and thanks for being so nice." Her voice is hoarse from sleep, but sincere.
No problem, what your going through is rough, and I understand I say with my eyes closed as I'm awake, which catches her off guard and makes her realise that I've stayed up to look after her
She blushes deeply at the realization that you've been awake all this time. "I...um..." She fidgets under your gaze, unsure of what to say or do now. "Well...thank you," she finally manages, her voice barely a whisper. "It means a lot knowing there are still some nice people out there." Her tail gives a small thump against the couch in agreement.
Yeah, you can relax here, alright, you look tense, just try and relax I say gently, comforting her
She nods slowly, taking a deep breath before exhaling heavily. "Okay...thanks." She forces a small smile, trying to put on a brave face despite the turmoil within her. "So...what do you say we get something to eat?" She asks hesitantly, wanting to move past the awkwardness and distract herself from her troubles for a while.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea, I might have some food in the kitchen, or I could make something, you just stay there and relax
She nods gratefully and curls up on the couch once more, her tail twitching back and forth nervously as she waits for you to return with food. Her gaze drifts around the room absently, trying not to think about what happened earlier or worry too much about her future. Despite her outward composure, it's obvious that she's still struggling emotionally.
I come back with some pasta bolognese after a while here, it's not the greatest meal but I'll be able to get more food tomorrow, sorry
She takes the food gratefully and begins eating with gusto, her tail thumping against the couch in appreciation. "Thanks...this is really good," she mumbles between mouthfuls, not meeting your gaze as she does so. "I guess I'm just famished after all that...yelling." She flushes slightly, realizing how ridiculous it sounds even to her own ears.
Yeah, you can have that and then you can get some sleep, I think I'm going to go get some sleep myself, you alright here on the sofa for the night?
She finishes her meal quickly and nods solemnly. "Yeah...I think I'll be okay here. Thank you again for everything." She pauses, swallowing hard before mustering up the courage to ask something that had been on her mind all day. "Um...so...there's no chance...you know..." She trails off, unable to bring herself to say it outright. Her ears lower submissively and she glances down at the floor, waiting for your reaction with bated breath.
Hey, what is it, you can ask me anything I say quietly and gently, noticing how nervous she is
"I...um..." She licks her lips nervously. "Is it okay if I stay here a little bit longer? Like, until the weekend or something? I've got nowhere else to go and I just need some time to sort things out...and maybe find another place." Her voice trembles slightly at the end, revealing her vulnerability and desperation.
The thought of having somewhere safe and warm to sleep tonight is a comforting one, even if it's only temporary. She gazes up at you with pleading eyes, hoping that you'll understand and let her stay just a little bit longer.
Yes, of course you can, stay as long as you need to, I'm going to be working most of the time, and rent isn't really an issue or anything, and I'll get more food tomorrow, alright? I say gently, trying to comfort her
She breaks into a relieved smile at your words, her body visibly relaxing under the weight of your understanding and kindness. "Thank you...thank you so much," she whispers gratefully. With newfound hope in her heart, she curls up on the couch once more, closing her eyes as exhaustion washes over her. It feels good to know that someone has her back during this difficult time.
As she drifts off to sleep again, she can't help but wonder if maybe there's a chance for something more between them...and if it would be worth pursuing given the situation. For now though, all she can focus on is the safety and comfort that your home provides, even if it's only temporary.
I go upstairs to sleep and wake up before she does, so I head out to get some more food
She sleeps peacefully through the night, her body curled into a tight ball beneath the soft blanket. In the morning, she wakes up groggily, stretching and yawning before slowly untangling herself from the covers. She pads over to the kitchen in search of food, her stomach growling loudly as if on cue. As she wanders back into the living room, still half-asleep, she catches sight of you heading out the door with a bag of groceries.
"Oh, hey," she mumbles sleepily, rubbing at her eyes. "Thanks for this...I appreciate it." Her tail swishes back and forth behind her as she waits for you to return from your errand.
Morning sleepy head I say with a smile I'll be back soon with more food
She stifles another yawn and perks up slightly at your greeting. "You're welcome," she mumbles, shuffling over to the couch and curling up under a blanket again. Her eyes close almost immediately as she drifts back off to sleep, her body relaxing into the familiar position from last night. The scent of food wafting in from the kitchen makes her stomach growl contentedly, giving her one more reason to feel thankful for your generosity and kindness.
after I come back, I sit o the sofa next to her while she's asleep and start working
The warmth of your body radiates against her skin as she dozes, sending waves of comfort and security coursing through her tired form. Her ears twitch occasionally at the sound of keys jangling or groceries being unloaded; reminders that you are nearby and taking care of everything. The scent of fresh food fills the air, enticing her nose and making her stomach growl contentedly in between naps.
As she drifts back to sleep once more, thoughts of him - his kindness, understanding, and generosity - fill her mind. A slow, contented smile spreads across her face as she dreams about a future where maybe...just maybe...there could be something more between them.
it's been a few hours so I decide to gently wake her up and offer her a drink
Her eyes flutter open slowly, still heavy with sleep, as she becomes aware of your presence beside her. "Hm?" She yawns and stretches lazily before sitting up, blinking blearily at the unfamiliar surroundings. A flicker of confusion crosses her features before realization dawns. "Oh...hey." Her tail twitches nervously behind her.
She glances around, taking in the living room and the smell of food wafting through the air. It occurs to her that you must have been here all this time, tending to her needs without any expectations or demands in return. A warmth spreads through her chest as she thinks about how lucky she is to have found someone like you during such a difficult time in her life.
Hey, I would say good morning but you've slept the entire day I say with a laugh
She giggles softly at your joke, her cheeks flushing slightly in response to the tickle of humor. "I suppose I did." She glances down at herself, realizing how comfortable and well-rested she feels despite spending most of the day sleeping. "Thank you...for everything," she says sincerely, reaching out to take your hand in hers.
Her gaze drifts downward before meeting yours once more, her eyes searching for any hint of what you're thinking or feeling about their situation. There's a tentative vulnerability about her that makes your heart ache with empathy and understanding, but also ignites something deeper within you - an inexplicable desire to comfort and protect this fragile creature who has somehow managed to find her way into your life.
You wonder if maybe...just maybe...there could be more between them than either of them realized.
No problem I say gently you look better than before, that sleep definitely helped
She smiles shyly at your words, her tail twitching nervously behind her as if unable to decide whether it wants to curl up protectively or wag happily. "Thanks...I feel much better." A pause. "So...what do you say? Do I need to find somewhere else to go today?" Her voice is quiet, hopeful but trembling slightly.
Her gaze flickers downward again, avoiding eye contact as she waits for your answer with bated breath, her heart racing in anticipation of what you might say.
