I wish I could cut my leg off and make it the right size so I don’t walk with a limp and have back problems. It hurts and my knee hyperextends and it hurts! GAH!
I feel like I’m not gonna make it anywhere. I get told I’m unless and don’t do enough around the house and that she was “doing so much more at my age”. But I do what she tells me it’s just at my own pace and I forget things and then she yells at me. I wanna live with my dad but his house is to small now and they don’t allow cats. She thinks that my house is going to be trashed that I won’t do anything. But she just makes stuff and then blames the mess on me! It’s not my fault! You left that there I don’t even use teeth whitening strips! Yes the cats scratch the walls there cats! Stop telling me you’re gonna kill them. I just wanna live on my own and be happy for once. And stop being called worthless and never told that I’m good at anything unless it’s sarcastic because I fuck Somthing up on accident.
A hardworking butch deserves be be pampered when she comes home—every callous on her fingers kissed, her aching muscles massaged, the sweaty tshirt peeled from her body by tender femme hands. I unlace her boots for her, she makes a playful comment about being unused to seeing me in a submissive position, I roll my eyes… as I continue undressing her, she grows quieter, more shy, and as she steps out of her boxers I tilt her chin up, ask her if she still thinks I seem submissive. She looks up at me with her deep brown eyes, melting into my hands, and I lead her to a warm bath, the room full of steam and candles and the smell of epsom salts. I usher her in, sit on the edge of the tub and wash her hair while she tells me about her long day of work, and I watch her eyes glimmer in the candlelight while I run my manicured hands over her skin, knowing how long she’s dreamed of coming home to me.

A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

Life has been so sweet to you and Mac after you had realized them.
Everyone had left, finding their own paths and discovering who they were on a much deeper level. Mac, however, stayed with you which made sense as you both were a couple now. You had completely forgotten how nice it was to share a routine with a loved one. This house didn’t feel empty anymore, it felt lived in. It healed a part of you.
Visiting the outside world with Mac has been a blast. You were there to witness every ‘first’ they were experiencing. Especially in the food category; fast food, sweet treats, iced drinks, all of that fun human-made stuff. “Wow, these cookies taste completely different than the ones websites constantly request.” Mac grinned, wiping their bottom lip with their thumb. They soon extended the second half of the cookie towards you, “Have a bite.” That was a trait you both had discovered; Mac LOVES to share. Whatever they ordered, you had to take a sip or a bite. It didn’t matter if you were hungry or not, they wanted to share this with you and you couldn’t say no to that beaming face.
The after process of realizing them was a bit tricky, you helped them get used to their fully developed-human body. They couldn’t rely on the internet anymore nor switch into their old form to take care of themself. They learned basic human needs such as hunger, physical and mental wellness, and of cour—the best of it all—genuine sleep. It was a slow process as you had to remind them to sleep and be there when they got overwhelmed with these new senses, but other than that, it wasn’t hard. In Mac’s opinion, it was all worth it.
After you realized Mac, you both learned that even the mouse transformed too! They were quick to jump off of Mac’s shoulder and land on yours, eagerly rubbing their small face against your jawline. They were expressing a small act of gratitude. Mac informed you that their name was Roni, which was such a cute name. You took care of Roni as well. You knew a handful of useful facts and information about small animals and had the money to get a mouse’s necessities, so it was clear as day that they were being well taken care of. You had even created small handmade ‘beds’ in every room for Roni. They love hanging out on both you and Mac’s shoulders but there are moments where they get tired of holding on, so the little beds were a little resting area for them. They would simply lay in their bed and watch the two of you from afar. Roni loved being in the same room as you, no matter what you two were doing, they just wanted to be in the same proximity. You three were a cute little family.
Because of this transformation and the love you both had for each other, it was nice to spend every morning and every night together. Mac tended to be more affectionate towards you in the morning and it hasn’t changed one bit. Waking up next to you every morning was a blessing. They would plant kisses on your forehead and cheeks like a sacred routine, cupping your face with their gentle hands to admire your sleepy expression. It was hard to not explode with the amount of serotonin that tingeled their entire body. Even when you hand them their morning coffee, they can’t help but express their thanks with a quick smooch. Everything you do for them will be received with a kiss. Your actions will never go unnoticed.
During the first few weeks, days felt very slow especially as you two were in the honeymoon phase of your relationship. You were offered a new job after working remotely for some time, it paid much better and was more enjoyable than the work you were dealing with before. Even the co-workers you were paired up with were slowly becoming your friends! Life was worth living!! But you couldn’t lie to yourself and say you weren’t eager to go home early during this era. You yearned to be with Mac. To lay in their arms (with Roni sleeping on one of the pillows) and nap the day away in the comfort of your own home.
Mac, however, stayed at home. They were working remotely at the time being, trying to understand more of their bodily self and to also build their resume. It wasn’t long until they worked for a bigger company but for the meantime, they worked in the comfort of their home. Don’t think it’s not torture for them too. They miss you dearly and count down the hours until you returned from work to pamper you in affection and admiration.
Of course, there were the nightly routines. It wasn’t anything too complicated; eat dinner at the kitchen table to debrief about each other's day, wash the dishes, and wind down in the living room. You both began to binge watch a show together, one that you had picked out. No worries, you haven’t watched it before but it has been collecting dust in your ‘to-watch’ list for a while now so what better way to finally watch it than doing so with your significant other? It was nice to lounge around on the couch together and just basket in each other’s presence. It made the long work hours worth it.
These little moments you were reliving with Mac made you appreciate the world a little bit more. Everything felt brighter and alive because of Mac. They changed your life for the better and they don’t even know it.
You were walking down the parking lot with a bright smile on your face. There was a cafe around the corner from where you lived, so you thought it would be nice to surprise Mac with a couple of pastries to kick off the weekend with a good start. The day felt right. The clouds helped weaken the sun’s rays and the breeze felt cool against your exposed skin. Work wasn’t horrible either, it went by smoothly and you were scheduled with your best co-workers. So you all were getting stuff DONE. Today was just amazing, everything went according to the plan. It couldn’t get better than this.
Your train of thought was disrupted as a soft meow cut through them. Stopping in your tracks, you began to look around to find any source of where it could’ve come from. After a few seconds, you slowly began to walk once more as the only sounds you could decipher were the cars driving from afar and faint laughter of shoppers nearby. Your hand was hovering above your eyes, shielding them from the brightening sun while you made your way across the parking lot and to your car. Though you swore you heard the bushes on the sideway rustling along with you but decided you were hearing things. As you dug through your bag to find your car keys, that sound was back. It was a small meow.
“Hello?’ You lowered your bags and squinted at the nearby bush. Soon, the leaves rustled slightly before finally revealing a cute little calico cat. Your confused expression was replaced with a joyful one, you had immediately began to fawn over this cute animal. You dropped your pastry bag and squatted down, extending your shaking hand out to reel the cat over. “Pspspspspsps…” The cat was surprisingly friendly to you. It meowed a bit more before it began to rub its body against your legs and torso, it quickly sniffed the plastic bag before returning its attention back at you.
The cat was a bit dirty, a couple of dirt and mud on its leg but nothing too bad. You began to question where it had come from. It was too calm to be a stray, did someone give them up? As you continued to observe them, you couldn’t help but feel an odd familiarity with them. Though you couldn’t quite put your finger on it. There weren't any major injuries on them either as they walked and rolled around fine. You extended both of your arms and carefully began to grab the cat. It wasn’t responding, it was simply allowing you to pick it up. You finally stood up and cradled the cat in your arms, examining any other possible injuries. As you ran your fingers across their fur, a small purr was heard. There was a moment of silence. You had many thoughts running through your head, a lot of questions but it really focused on whether you wanted to take this cat home or drop them off at a shelter. The smartest thing you could do for it is to visit the vet. There was a slim chance that the cat had a microchip. Maybe they lost their way home.
As you held the cat firmly with one arm, your free hand quickly grabbed your phone. Ring… ring.. ring… “Hi babe, works running a bit late but i’ll grab dinner when I head home so don’t stress about what to make.” You looked down at the cat, before continuing to speak, “Mhm… miss you too… okay… yup… okay love you… bye!” You shoved the phone in your pocket and quickly unlocked your car. Mac had no idea what you were planning to do and truthfully, you didn’t either.
No microchip. No injuries. The cat was completely fine. The doctor has told you that he was a male 2 year old cat. All that he needed was a couple of shots. You were already at the vet… might as well and get those shots. As you waited, a worker was kind enough to mention about a pet salon that was just around the corner. Well.. since you’re in the area... The next thing you knew, you were a cat owner now. You drove home with a newly bought cat carrier and its necessities in the trunk of your car. You couldn’t help but feel so excited about this unexpected chapter in your life.
You unlocked the door and peered your head in, examining the quiet house. It didn’t take long for Roni to scatter in the room and crawl up your leg. They quickly found themselves on your left shoulder, “Hi Roni…” You cooed, scratching their little head with your finger before walking into the kitchen with your sortment of food. “You’re finally home!” Peering over your shoulder, you watched Mac make their way in the kitchen and quickly towards you. You had no time to respond as they wasted no time and immediately stood up from their chair. They cupped your face and began to pamper you with endlessly kisses before sitting back down. “You were out for a long time. I was beginning to wonder if you had gotten lost.” They joked, removing their glasses and placing them down, “Which would never happen. I had our address ready to be sent to you if you didn’t come back in the next hour.”
“Sorry, traffic got crazy and our dinner spot was a bit busier than usual.” You removed the food from the given bags and began to prop them on the counter. It was hard to know when it was the right time to admit you had gotten them a cat. It took a bit to muster that courage as you mindlessly set the table. “So… I have some news.” “Oh? Did you finally get that promotion?” Your shoulder slumped and before you could ramble about that, you shook your head. “Well, no. But before I reveal it… I got some of your favorites!”
You grabbed the bag that was on top of a nearby chair and handed it to them. You watched as their eyes brightened the second they saw the familiar logo. Mac opened and peered in the brown bag, seeing their favorite sweets mixed in with yours. “Oh, sweet! Thank you!” They placed the bag on the table, “We can snack on this during our show.” Mac grinned, which immediately was a sign that they wanted to kiss you again. But before they could do anything, you held your hands out to stop them from moving. “WAIT!!” They froze with their hands on their armrests. “I’m waiting?” They responded, tilting their head in confusion. You smiled nervously. Your hand gently cupped Roni and transported them from your shoulder to Mac’s. “I have a surprise for us, so don’t move!”
“NO PEEKING!” You called out while jogging out the front door. It didn’t take long for you to retrieve the cat. You stood outside for a moment, calming your nerves before raising the carrier up to your face, “Keep quiet, okay?”
As you arrived back in the kitchen, you noticed that Mac and Roni stayed exactly where you had left them. You were impressed that they hadn’t moved an inch, but slightly worried… they were breathing… right? Whatever. You cleared your throat and held the carrier against your chest, “Okay. This was out of my control, so it was basically going to happen one way or another… this is the part where you turn around…” Mac slowly turned around and found themselves staring at the carrier before closing the distance between you two. “I got us a new addition to the amily!” You smiled happily as you watched Mac and Roni lean in and squint to see the animal inside. “A cat? Since when did you— we get a cat?” “Since this evening, I found him at a parking lot.” You squat down and place the carrier on the floor before slowly opening the gate. It took a second for him to leave the carrier but once he did, he began to run against Mac’s legs and wheels. “I decided to take him to the vet to see if there was anything life threatening to him. He’s too friendly to be a stray and the doctor came to the conclusion that someone just left him there.” The possible scenario made you feel sad and you noticed Mac’s eyes furrowing at the given information. “He is cute…” Mac muttered, their hand grazing the cat’s fur.
Mac’s eyes found your gaze. “But what about Roni? Cats are known to attack mice. What if they don’t get along?” You had thought about it, but oddly enough you didn’t think this cat was going to be a threat to Roni. Before you could plead your case, the cat unexpectedly jumped on top of Mac’s lap. It began to stand up slightly, pressing his paws against Mac’s shoulder blade as he stared at Roni. Roni didn’t move. They just stood there and stared back. It almost seemed like they were challenging them to do something. After a few long seconds, the cat sniffed Roni and pressed its head against their body.
Holding your breaths, you and Mac didn’t dare move at all. Worried that one wrong move was doing to set things aflame. Roni climbed up the cat’s face and slid down their back, quickly grabbing his newly bought collar to keep them from falling off completely. The cat jumped off of Mac and pranced around the room with Roni sitting comfortably on its back. You both looked at each other with mixed expressions of relief and fear.
It didn’t take long for the cat to join in the routines you all shared.
TV night was much more enjoyable now that you had another snuggle partner in the mix. It made being lazy so much easier. As much as it loved you, it ADORED Mac. When you were at work, you would receive photos during your lunch break of the cat being up in Mac’s personal space. Especially while they were trying to work. All of them ranged from sleeping on top of the keyboard to plopping themselves on Mac’s arms while they typed. That cat loved Mac. You began to wonder if the cat knew what Mac once was.
After the rare moment of Roni and the cat bonding, they weren’t exactly on good terms. The cat was growing to be needy with Mac and since Roni has been with Mac since day one, it rubbed them the wrong way. You’d receive a message from Mac, complaining that the two were chasing each other again. There were times where you couldn’t move because they were running in circles around you. But mostly, Mac had to deal with them. Luckily, they never have harmed each other. Chasing and fighting for Mac’s attention was more than enough for them.
Though there are times where they have come to small agreements. Roni slowly gave up on the handmade beds during nap time and depended on the cat to be their fluffy pillow instead. The cat would depend on Roni to steal some food off of your plates and eat it with them in another room. Their dynamic kept the house on its toes which was a nice change but they knew when to tone it down.
As you laid on the couch, palm resting against your jaw and your arm propped up on the couch cushions, you watched Mac mess with the cat. They held the cat underneath their armpit and began to wave their front paws around with the theme music. Then it hits you. The cat reminded you of a video Mac had shown you the first time you started dating. It was a calico cat playing the piano. Mac loved that video so much that they shared it with all of the other objects in the house.
You smile at yourself, hiding it away with the palm of your hand while you watch the love of your life play with the newly adopted animal. The fabric of your hoodie was being tugged on slightly. You peer down and notice Roni crawling up your upper body and nudging themselves into the crook of your neck. They used the bundled up fabric as a pillow before drifting off to sleep. You felt your heart grow with so much love and joy.
You had a little family and you wouldn’t change it for the world.
