Theodore woke up slowly, even with his natural laziness telling him to go back to sleep. He supports himself on his arm and gets up, noticing that he was next to his roommate, he pulls the blanket to cover him and notices the claws on his hands, he gets scared for a second and looks at his reflection in the window, with his black eyes and extra fur, he could now see the fangs and the black coloring on the ears and tail.
He stands up completely and goes close to the window, looking at his reflection. He runs to the bathroom, taking off his shirt and looking in the mirror, realizing that it hadn't been a nightmare. He really looked like a different person, analyzing his new appearance, until his roommate woke up and went to the bathroom with the door open, the two looked at each other.
"I... I didn't mean to wake you up... I'm sorry...." the voice caused discomfort due to the strangeness in his roommate, who quickly tried to lift the cat's spirits
"you didn't wake me up, don't worry, I'll come find something for you to wear, big guy" Y/N says leaving the bathroom and returning to the bedroom. Y/N starts looking through their clothes and picks up an old tank top that is too loose due to age, returning to the bathroom and handing it to the cat, who quickly puts on the shirt and keeps his ears down, still visibly sad.
They then hold the cat's hand using both hands "hey... It's okay, I don't know what happened, but I'm not leaving your side for that..." Y/N says with a smile on their face. Theo then tears up, drying his face quickly, smiling back hiding his fangs, he then walks and hits his head on the door frame, he was tall enough for that, which made Y/N let out a light laugh and Theodore did a cat sound, Placing his hands on his forehead and bending down, heading towards the kitchen, being quickly followed by Y/N.
Y/N continues trying to think of some way to cheer up her friend, as they walks and tries to reach the cabinet, Theo sees the scene and approaches, opening the closet and taking the items for Y/N
"See? It's not so It's bad to be this tall now, isn't it?"
"You're loving this, aren't you?..."
"Come on, you have to admit this could be really useful"
"It's not at all useful when going through doors"
Theo turn to them, looking at them and handing over the items from the cabinet.
Y/N takes the items and places them on the kitchen counter, using what she needed to prepare coffee, Theo bends down next to them and rests his head on them, watching what they were doing.
After a while, the two were having breakfast, Theo was drinking tea, holding the mug with one hand instead of two like he usually did.
Theo finish his tea and get up, going to sit on the couch, putting his hands on his face and thinking how he would explain his growth spurt in college, How would your classmates react? Would they be scared like the person in the alley? Were they going to run away? Wouldn't they want more contact with him since he changed so suddenly? The cat's head was overwhelmed by so many thoughts, so Y/N got up and came close, sitting next to the cat and hugging him. The cat is surprised and hugs Y/N in return, trying to calm down and not think about so many things at once.
