"teazer, can i ask you a question?" ( ask-exotica )
“Sure, but it was all Jerrie and you have no proof that it was me and I am innocent until proven guilty” Teazer said
“well . . you aren’t in trouble but it is about jerrie.” she admitted with a nervous look on her face. she never talked to teazer ever.
Teazer was confused for a second before answering “I am sorry for whatever he did, he didn’t mean it. He doesn’t think things through”
“he didn’t do anything b a d . . but, has he told you anything, about m e?” she asked, she wasn’t that slick but she was sure she could pass through teazer undetected.
The queen was once again confused…“I mean I saw you and him hanging out…” Teazer teased (i had to ok??) Wait, oh shit. She might own Vic a diamond necklace. “WAIT!! Do you have a crush on him???” She was so suprised. Exotica was very much out of her brothers league. Exotica was out of everyones league.
exotica felt herself heat up as she glared at teazer and crossed her arms. “a c r u s h? pfft . . no.” she said, fairly unconvincing. she kicked at the ground nervously as she kept her eyes on teazer. she wasn’t close to admitting that to herself! but she guessed that rumpleteazer got it already. wasn’t like she was being too inconspicuous about it.
Teazer giggled at the horribly executed lie. “You are horrible at lyin’ ya know?” Her faced then shifted as she started to think. “But why are you comin’ to me about it and not Jerrie?”
exotica sighed and looked at tea. “he . . ran pretty abruptly when we hung out and . . i’m too nervous to talk to him.” she admitted. she didn’t want to mess up anything till the next time they read . . tomorrow. “but also i can’t stop thinking about it.” she admitted, shyly. she thought tea would know way more about her brother then exotica would know about tea’s brother.
“Hmmm, he probably just likes you, he does that sometimes…” Her mouth went to one side and her tongue stuck out a bit. “I say that you should confront him about it, i mean what’s the worst that could happen?”
“he could not like me back.” she said. simply that and sighed. “and maybe after that he could make fun of me or something . . i dunno!” she was still worried about it. “i just . . he’s sweet but i wouldn’t doubt it could happen.”
“He won’t make fun of you, He just thinks you are out of his league and don’t like him back!! No need to worry!!” Yea, Exotica definitely liked Jerrie in that way. It was obvious. Teazer decided she would help the couple get together even if it was the last thing she would do.
“out of his league? i’m just quiet and can read. i think he’s too sweet to me . . maybe out of m y league.” she chuckled. she definitely thought about it differently then everyone else. she thought she wasn’t good enough for jerrie . . he was kind and made her smile! she made him run away and she felt guilty.
“No!! You are definitely not!!” Teazer already knew that she was kinda fucking this up but…oh well “My brother is great!! He is caring and nice!! he probably ran cause he got nervous!!” She was trying her best, she really was. Maybe she wasn’t the best cat to go to for relationship advice but at least her heart was in the right place.
“nervous? all i did was kiss him on the cheek. it was supposed to be a thank you for hanging out with me!” she claimed with a smile. “i should realize he wasn’t really used to stuff like that.” she scratching at the back of her neck nervously but still tried to keep a smile on her face. “i didn’t want to make him nervous!”
“Shit…I might own Vic a necklace now” Teazer muttered under her breath. “Don’t worry, I don’t think anyone is used to getting a kiss on the cheek by pretty queens!!” She explained. There may have been an instant where she was kissed on the cheek by a pretty queen and was rendered speechless for a minute but that’s not relevant. “If you want I can talk to him!! I am great with other peoples relationships!!”
she giggled at the compliment and had a softer smile on her face. “if you promise not to embarrass me.” she said. she wouldn’t mind someone else telling him for her. she was simply too shy — maybe he’d actually walk towards her and talk to her without her having to do anything. if he d i d like her.
“I would N e v e r embarrass you!!” On purpose, that is. She knew what she was doing, I mean she did get Munk and Demeter to start dating. It might have been her only success BUT IT STILL COUNTS!!! “There is no need to worry, I am a prefessional”Â
“just try not to over s h a r e. he doesn’t need to know he’s making me feel nervous about it.” he was just cute and she adored it. “and tea, p r o fessional. not pre.” she corrected sweetly and gave her a smile. she had been teaching jerrie a bit about reading so she hoped she could help tea as best as she could too.
“When have I ever overshared?? I have never done anything wrong, ever” Tea joked, being cheeky was in her nature!! “But I won’t cross my heart!!” Tea smiled back and absorbed the new information “Well then, be glad you have a p r o fessional helping you”
“oh, i’m s u r e.” she teased but laughed at what she said nonetheless. she was such a sweet girl, exotica knew deep down that she’d regret this but . . she thought that was fine. the message would end up shared. “i believe in you. and . . i can’t wait to see if he does like me back. i wouldn’t be able to believe it myself. i worry that i’m too boring.” she admitted. “and . . then there’s etcetera.” she was around the twin’s age but she did essentially adopt a kitten.
“He totes likes you back!!” Tea said with a huge smile. “Oh yea, Etcetera, I taught her all the swear words she knows…I mean no I didn’t…I just believe that cats should be able to know all the words!!…I feel like it is Jerrie you should be scared for.” She joked, she liked Etcetera, she was sweet and fun ti hang out with.
“i hope so!” she giggled lightly and laughed at what tea said. “try not to teach my daughter any more swears. she’s prone to screaming them.” and then exotica had to tell her not to say it. then etcetera would feel guilty and exotica had to tell her she wasn’t angry. she loved teazer but she needed to tone it down with all of t h a t.
“I won’t!!…promise!!” Technically she couldn’t cause she already told Etcetera a good amount of the one that she already knew. “Don’t worry about it!! I can promise you that Jer will be f i n e hopefully. There is nothing big to worry about!!”
“thank you.” she smiled and gave teazer a hug. it was just a light one but when she stepped away she had a huge smile on her face. “tea, what happened to you, by the way?” exotica asked, moving her paw to graze the scar to point out what she was talking about. “did you get hurt?”
“Anytime!! Im am an upstanding citizen afterall!!” Tea giggled before hugging her back. “Oh!!” She almost forgot about the scars on her face. She quickly brought her paw over where she was scratched “Oh yea…it was nothing…just fell…on some glass!!”
“teazer, i’ve cut myself on glass, it doesn’t look like that.” she sighed and grabbed teazer’s hand. she didn’t know her completely but . . exotica did have a bad feeling about it. “what’s been happening with you and jerrie. all i’ve heard is you both lying to people.” she sighed. “my mouth is shut if you tell me. a secret.” she promised.
“I can’t say…” Teazer whispered, “Everyone will hate us if they knew…” Exotica could probably guess what was happening. She already told her Mum and she was lucky that she wasn’t grounded forever. It was one thing telling your parents but it was a whole nother thing telling the whole tribe about it.
“did you kill somebody?” she asked. that would be the only thing that would make her hate someone. “or is it macavity?” she asked. “i can’t judge you for that . . i knew him when i was younger. i didn’t work with him but i kinda did.” she admitted, but she was much younger then. she never went through anything like what she heard from demeter, she guessed she was lucky, but she had been close to the man before, and that includes being hurt by him like everyone else he knew. “jerrie doesn’t know that.”
Teazer took a deep breath and looked down at her feet as she processed the information “So you worked for him too?” It was all she could say, Teazer had no idea. As far as she could tell Exotica seem really kind and quiet.
“essentially, yes.” she responded. “i was never initiated but he treated me like i worked with him and he followed me a lot. i was more of a robber in my younger days.” she admitted. she was way younger when she did that. “i was dark and could hide easier. i can blend in . . he used me for that. hurt me if i messed up. typical macavity things.”
“…we were brought in fully when we were younger…” Teazer explained in a quiet voice “We are mostly robbers and I mostly stick to that because I’m quick…sometimes we do worse things…never killing but other typical Macavity things…”Â
“i would never judge you for it.” she promised. ruffling the fur on top of tea’s head. “i understand it myself. i was there. i hope he’s forgotten me.” she admitted. she hadn’t seen him since she was a kitten! she could only hope that he didn’t recognize her. she was quite a different looking cat but . . she disappeared within the background. “i’ll be there for you both if i have to.”
“Thanks, I guess you are Jer make a good match. Also…he would kill me if he found out I told you, he has run into many glass walls” Teazer has done that many times too but Exotica didn’t need to know that. She actually felt a lot better, maybe being responsible and telling people what was going on was a good thing!!Â
“hey, kinda silly.” she giggled at the thought of it. “a good match? oh s h u s h, tea. you’ll make me feel embarrassed.” she admitted as her face felt warmer. she definitely got embarrassed way too easily over jerrie. “i won’t tell him what you said though. scouts honor.” she promised with a tiny salute.
Teazer had a huge grin on her face “Thank you for your honor and also I do have a bet with Vic going on so if Jerrie kisses you first, lemme know if he doesn’t start yelling about it” She was kinda joking but also not. That’s what happens when you are part gremlin.Â
she flushed at the concept but giggled nonetheless. “i’ll be right there to tell you, tea. even if it’s embarrassing.” she wondered who bet on what. she would find out if she asked victoria, she knew that, but she still was curious. “i hope . . he reacts nicely.” she said softly before looking at her feet and giving tea a smile afterwards.
“Hells yea!!” Teazer cheered, who doesnt like getting the scoop of if youre winning a bet ir not? “I know my brother, he is definitely not going to react badly!!” She knew that he wasn’t going to reject her, which was good and she knew that he would be ecstatic but she had no idea what else. Neither of them had much experience in romance
she gave teazer a quick hug before moving a step away with a smile. "thank you, seriously." she insisted with a small giggle. "thanks for talking to me, also." she added and patted tea’s shoulder lightly for a moment.
