Alastor X Human Reader: Arson Cat
You adopted your cat when finding them playing with an old box of matches in an alleyway nearby your place.
The poor thing was soaking wet. Good thing you had a rag on you. They were at least a few weeks old.
Once at home you set the fire on at the fireplace, getting tuna and water. Before anything you had to warm them up.
The cat purred while getting pets, feeling warm and cozy. Watching the fire.
Love at first sight lol🔥
When the fire place wasn't on, your cat would meow. Looking around for you to turn it back on.
Of course you couldn't do that during the summer, so you bought candles.
So. Many. Candles.
Mistake #1: Leaving your cat unattended with a candle.
A rug you had caught on fire because the cat pushed the candle over the edge of your coffee table.
They got fussy when you put the fire out.
"Mroow", your cat meowed, obviously upset with how much their tail was flicking.
"Yes, fire is pretty but when it gets really big we won't have a place to live in anymore.", you said, sweeping up what was left of the rug.
Mistake #2: Letting your cat on the kitchen counters. Specifically, the one side with the stove.
Your cat likes to watch you cook. At least that's what you thought, but really they were just interested in the pretty blue and yellow flames coming from the stove top.
All it took was one minute. You went to get something from the fridge and your cat brought a napkin to the stove, placing it right by the fire.
The fire alarm nearby went off, making you drop everything from your hands to cover your ears.
You quickly opened a window and turned on the kitchen fan that you keep forgetting to do when cooking. Then you got rid of the fire and cleaned up.
Again, your little arsonist was not happy. Meowing in an offended tone.
"You are banned from sitting on this side of the counter.", you boop their nose and move them to sit by the sink. "You can't get close."
Mistake #3: Not telling friends/family/pet sitters about your cat's fascination with fire.
You got a call during work. Thankfully you were on break and could take the call. "Hello?"
"Your cat started a fire."
That's all it took for you to tell your boss that an emergency came up and you had to leave early.
With your hands on your hips, you stared down at the cat who was licking their paws as if nothing happened.
"You can't start fires when other people are watching you.", you cross your arms.
Hehehehehehehehehehe
Your cat doesn't like fireworks. Ironic right?
They do like sparklers.
You'll leave your t.v. on with a YouTube video of just fire for ten hours when you're out. Sound and everything.
You hide anything that can start a fire. Gotta cover that crystal ball and put it away. All the candles you bought? Stored and replaced with fake battery operated ones.
Birthdays are..ok. Your cat watches the candle flame as you sing happy birthday. You have to blow it out quick and replace it with a fake one.
All in all, your cat is well behaved....
And then Alastor comes along~
Lol 🎤and then a hero comes along🎵🎶
You thought your cat was bad? Hoho.. Alastor just encourages your little baby.
He makes a fire ball in his hand one day and your cat is hooked. Following the red man around for him to make more fire. They started to get along.
He lets your cat sit somewhat close by when cooking. "Not too close! We don't want fur in the food!"
Then theirs times when its quiet. Too quiet...
When you notice the silence, you get up and look around for your cat. They are eventually found but somehow they have soot on their paws.
It confuses you a ton when you look for a possible fire but see absolutely nothing burnt.
One day you find out why there's been so many house fires. Seeing your demon roommate literally teleport your cat.
"Wha-", you blink and your cat is brought back.
"Meow!", your cat paws at Alastor.
"Hello my darling!", he smiles innocently as if he did nothing.
"I-", you take a deep breath. "Why are you teleporting my cat?"
"Just letting them stretch their legs!"
Your phone buzzes and you see a news update. Clicking on it, there's a story on another house fire.
"........."
Mistake #4: Letting Alastor know about your cat starting fires.
