Chapter 7 - Night with a Cat

𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫'𝗦 𝗣𝗢𝗩

"A-Alex.." he closed his eyes while whimpering and panting, his mouth was hanging open, then his eyes started to get teary, "I-I can't handle more.."

"Fuck.." I closed my eyes while panting as well, then I licked my lips, "But it's so good.."

He whimpered and turned his head away while panting, "No! It's way too spicy! I had told you not to buy that kind of noodles!"

"Fuck.." I chuckled while licking my lips again, "It's really spicier than I had expected.."

"My tongue is burning now! You knew that I can't handle spice!" He whined, still panting and hissing because of the spice, "And there's no ice or an-"

I quickly pulled his head to face me and kissed him before he could finish his sentence.

Before he could return the kiss, I slipped my tongue inside his mouth but then he pulled away while panting, "This is not a movie, Alex! Your tongue and lips are also spicy of the noodles!"

"Right. Sorry.." I licked my lips with a smirk and placed a piece of chocolate between my lips, "Want some, babe?"

He whimpered and nodded his head quickly.

"Have it, babe." I smirked and leaned down closer to his face, still keeping the piece of chocolate between my lips.

"Not fair.." He whimpered, but to my surprise, he pulled me by my collar and attacked my lips.

His tongue tried to reach for the chocolate while I pulled him closer by his waist.

He pulled away after the chocolate was over, but his cheeks were flushed and his breath was still heavy (not because of the spice but because of our hot kiss).

His cat ears had also appeared.

"Want one more?" I smirked while licking my lips.

"N-No.." He looked away.

"Come on.. I know you want more." I chuckled and placed one more piece of chocolate between my lips.

He was blushing more but then he came closer. His cat ears were flattened.

𝑇ℎ𝑎𝑡'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝑘𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑦...

I gently placed my hands on his waist and closed my eyes when I felt his lips against mine. Within seconds, our tongues were dancing with eachother's and I heard him moan.

𝐹𝑢𝑐𝑘.. 𝐻𝑒'𝑠 𝑡𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑒 𝑜𝑛..

"Good boy.." I whispered against his lips and was about to grab his hips but then he pulled away with tears in his eyes while panting, his cat ears were still flattened down.

"What's wrong.." I moved closer to him but he just sniffled and looked down, "I just remembered someone.."

"Your ex?" I gently stroked his hair but he started to cry more, "I wanted to forget him.."

𝐼 𝑠𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑟 𝐼 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑟! 𝑀𝑦 𝐴𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑙𝑜𝑜𝑘𝑠 𝑠𝑜 ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 ℎ𝑖𝑚! 𝑊𝐻𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑦𝑜𝑛𝑒 ℎ𝑢𝑟𝑡 𝑠𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑎 𝑏𝑜𝑦 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 ℎ𝑖𝑚?!

"I don't want to see him ever again.." He wiped his eyes while sniffling and I wrapped my arms around him protectively, "Al, I don't know what he did to you but I swear I will break his bones.."

He sniffled and wiped his eyes, "I hate my life.."

"Shh..Don't say that.." I rubbed his back softly while holding him tighter. 

Seeing him cry like this made tears form in my eyes too.

𝐹𝑢𝑐𝑘, 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝐼 𝑔𝑒𝑡 𝑠𝑜 𝑤𝑒𝑎𝑘?!

𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑦 𝑎𝑚 𝐼 𝑠𝑜 𝑓𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑜𝑛𝑒?!

"I love you and I always will... I promise.." I whispered and kissed the top of his head, hopefully he calmed down a little and sniffled, "Alex..."

"Shh.." I gently picked him in bridal style and carried him upstairs to his room, "I will never let anyone hurt you again.. I am here now.." I kissed his forehead and gently placed him on the bed, "I promise, my love.."

He looked up at me with his innocent, beautiful eyes, "I love you.."

"I love you too, my little boy." I whispered softly while kissing his cheek.

"Little boy?" He looked at me while chuckling.

𝐼 𝑓𝑒𝑙𝑡 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦 ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑦 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑒𝑒 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑐ℎ𝑢𝑐𝑘𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑔𝑎𝑖𝑛...

"Yes, my little boy." I pulled him on my lap gently, "Only mine.."

Then he smiled and rested his head on your chest, "I love you.."

"I love you more.." I kissed the top of his head while stroking his hair gently. Then our memories started to flash in my mind. . .

"Al.. Do you remember the first time we met?" I smiled, still caressing his hair while he relaxed in my arms.

"Mhm.." He responded, still with his eyes closed and head on my chest.

I chuckled and wrapped my arms around him, "You looked so cute on the first day I saw you. What did you think of me on the first day you saw me, Al?"

He blushed a little and looked down, "You looked hot.."

"Oh?" I chuckled and kissed his forehead gently, "Is that so?"

"Yes." He grinned while looking up at me.

I chuckled again and gently petted his hair, "You think bad boys are hot?"

He bit his bottom lip and rested his head on my chest again, "Only you.."

"Aww.." I  smirked while teasingly sliding my hand inside his t-shirt, making him squeak and squirm while chuckling, "Stop! Stop!"

"I do what I want.." I kissed the top of his head and he chuckled while snuggling into my arms, "Yes, sir!"

"You are so cute, baby.." I chuckled as well and stroked his hair softly.

"Am not..." He yawned softly and closed his eyes while keeping his head on my chest.

"Cutie.. " I whispered softly while playing with his hair, "I actually wanted to ask you, Al.. When's your birthday?"

"I don't know.. " He sighed while rubbing his eyes a little, "I haven't celebrated my birthday till now.."

"Oh.." I stopped and looked down at him, thinking, "Then what about the birthdate on your school's registration form?"

"That was made up.." he mumbled while burying his face in the crook of my neck, "I don't remember much.. and I don't like birthdays anyway.. They remind of the fact that my parents abandoned me.." He yawned again and closed his eyes.

I didn't know what to say, so I continued to caress his hair while holding him gently in my arms.

"Tell me about your life, Alex.." He looked up at me with that perfect smile of his.

"There's nothing much to tell, love.." I looked down while my memories flashed in my mind.

"I want to know, please.. " He pulled away from my arms while looking at me.

"Okay." I sighed and lied down on the bed while looking at the ceiling, "I don't really remember my parents. All I know is that I was raised by my uncle and aunt.. But they didn't do anything.. I mean, they never cared about me. All they told me was, "Whatever.."  "That's horrible.."  "You are useless.." "I don't care.."

I wasn't a bad-tempered boy from the beginning.. My so-called relatives kinda.. abused me until I started to fight back."

"They..abused you..?"

"Yeah.." I sat up and leaned against the headboard, "Just a few hits and belts.. But I eventually started to fight back."

"I am sorry you had to go through that too..." He looked down and I frowned.

"What do you mean by 'too'?"

𝐻𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑛'𝑡 𝑏𝑒..

"I-I.." He looked down and quickly turned around while facing the wall, "I-I am feeling sleepy.. Goodnight!"

I wanted to know, but I didn't want to cross my limits, so I lied down beside him while looking at the back side of his head, "Sleep well, love..."

But he didn't respond and I sighed quietly while wrapping my arms around him from behind, "Hey.. Please don't cry.."

He slowly turned to face me while sniffling, "Why did we deserve such a life, Alex.."

"You didn't deserve it, love.." I gently kissed his forehead while wiping his tears with my thumbs.

"None of us did.." He wiped his eyes and sniffled.

"I love you.." I wrapped my arms around you while keeping him in my arms.

"I love you too.." He sniffled and I gently kissed his lips, wishing I could take all his pain away.

He returned the kiss but then all of a sudden, he passed out in my arms.

This was the 3rd time...

I gently held him in my arms and rocked him slowly and gently.

I gently kissed his forehead and looked at his cute face.

I kissed his forehead once more and gently tucked him inside the blanket.

Then I kissed his hair while cuddling with him, keeping him warm and safe in my arms.
