*slithers into your request box like a snake*
I was informed you write for CatDog
I just really need Cat being head over heals in love with a gender neutral Reader who’s autistic. It’s their first date and Cat’s really nervous because he doesn’t wanna screw things up but Reader is happy just being with him. Oneshot preferably but i would be happy with Headcanons too! ^^
(if this is all too much feel free to ignore, i’m knees deep in a hyperfixation right now is all)
One Fine Night With A Purr
(Cat x GN! Autistic Reader)
(Was literally so excited when I saw my first RQ was catdog based)
Cat didn't want to mess this up. Like he REALLY didn't want to mess this up. He planned everything to the T from the location to what would be happening during said date. He even bought Dog a quiet chew toy just so he could be preoccupied with something that wouldn't give you a sensory overload. He even packed some safe foods for you! He really did respect that were autistic a lot and often made accommodations for you when he could, including this date. A picnic late at night, not too far from his house.
He watched as you stared at the night sky. A light purr escaped his lips as he leaned a bit closer to you. You looked back, tilting your head slightly. His face changed to a bit of a worried one.
"Oh I uh.. Sorry for staring." He smiled nervously "Guess my eyes erm.. wander a bit too much."
"It's fine!" You chirped. You gently rubbed the picnic blanket, the texture was super pleasing. You looked back at Cat as he fidgeted with his hands, tapping his fingers together. You really did like spending time with Cat. You also liked everything ABOUT Cat, from his mannerisms to how he talked.
He noticed as you looked at him and blushed a bit.
You paused as you stared, you couldn't help but feel as if something was.. off. You spoke up "Hey are you okay.. you seem.. off.".
"Oh uh! Sorry, Y/N, I'm just.. I just.." He motioned with his hands a bit as he tried to conjure the words "I'm just worried I'll mess things up. Not to be negative but it's just something that tends to happen with me.".
You chuckled a bit "Cat I.." you paused and motioned your hand "Sorry for the chuckle, it's just.. I really like you, Cat!". Cat's face went red from the comment, he wasn't expecting that.
"You uh.. you do?" He tilted his head, continuing to tap his fingers together "You know despite the whole.. Cat.. Dog thing?" He sighed "I'm just.. so used to people treating me differently".
"Yeah. I know how that feels." You admit, rubbing the back of your neck "But I love you, Cat! Different-ness and all!" you stretch your arms out. He snickered at this, a snicker turned to an ever so endearing laugh.
You gently pat Cat's head, stopping his laugh and replacing it with another quiet purr. "I love you too, Y/N" he uttered. The night went way better than Cat thought it would. You two chatted with each other until morning came, bonding over the little things.
Oh yeah and Dog was there too.

also it’s my birthday so this is not only a long post but also rather self indulgent, I will be working with my favourite character from every fandom I write for
Part one
Dan for Dan Vs #6
Dan was certain it was your birthday today, maybe the calendar didn't align with what he thought but he could feel it in his soul
And so he spent a good week setting up while also not telling you exactly what he was setting up for telling you
"You don't gotta worry your pretty head about it, just be excited." He winked at you while bringing a box into the flat
He had also called Chris to tell him it was your birthday but when Chris had corrected him he hung up in a huff
He really hopes it's your birthday or else he had that shower for no reason, oh yeah and also all that preparation and stuff
Finally "the day" had arrived and you woke up with a start seeing as Mr Mumbles and Dan were setting off party poppers
"Dan what are you-" You started pushing yourself up from the bed, well this was unusual you normally woke up much earlier than Dan
"Shh, you don't need to thank me." He put his finger on your mouth winking at you before going to get your cake
You wanted to correct him but… he was just too cute, being so excited for you and everything
You would feel bad for tarnishing his joy, so you decided to let him have his fun and played along
Dib for Invader Zim
You had packed up last night, it was really nice of Mr Membrane to take you on a road trip for today (with your parents permission of course)
It had started off normally, you going over to Dibs house, him giving you a cute plush alien toy while Gaz gave you a Blink-182 shirt
It wouldn't be that long of a road trip, three day weekend and all
While you were out of the car you and Dib held hands, just to not get lost y'know?
The road trip started off so normally, driving from Oregon to New Mexico and back again, not that long and it would be really fun
But as you reached New Mexico Dib insisted that you stop off at Roswell, and that's when it all started
You got taken by an alien ship! Luckily Membrane had made some upgrades to his robot arm and could now shoot lasers from it
While the aliens were unconscious you and Dib decided to go on a little intergalactic cruise, of course Membrane thought it was just a museum to capitalise on the story of Rosewell and Gaz was just playing her game and not paying much attention to anything, at least you and Dib had fun
When the aliens woke back up they teleported you back to your car so that hopefully Membrane wouldn't kick their butts again
Sure no one back home believed you and Dib when you told them about this but at least it was a birthday you would never be forgetting
Heffer for Rocko
When you first started dating Heffer you were unsure as to how it would play out that you had the same birthday as him, you had never shared a birthday with anyone before so this would be interesting
It turned out really well apparently, you two are rather romantic people so when your birthday finally hit it wasn't that much of a difference
Instead you two ended up trying to outdo each other in how romantic and lovey-dovey you could be
You knew about his love of food, of course, so you let him order whatever he wanted to for lunch and dinner
While Heffer let you pick any movie you wanted to watch even if it was a romcom, a genre he isn't particularly into
"Heffer I insist, we go where you want to today. It is your birthday after all." You smiled putting on your dress
"Nuh-uh, we gotta go where you'd like to. It's your birthday too." He grinned grabbing his keys
"Hmm, how about we say where we want to go at the same time." You grinned after which you both shouted "Cinema!"
He ended up buying the tickets while you bought the snacks, as you continued watching the movie you reached for the popcorn at the same time and ended up holding hands
You stayed holding hands until you reached the car to go home together, he stayed over at your house that night
Tintin
You had never been the biggest of birthdays, you were more than willing to celebrate someone else's but not your own
You didn't like how old you felt when the time came around, sure you weren't actually that old but you still felt it
Yet Tintin just couldn't understand this, you're always so happy for everyone else but never for yourself
He felt bad and really wanted you to celebrate, just for one year even if nothing else
Tintin sent Haddock and Nester on a little “errand” so that he could prepare for your birthday
You were confused by the amount of stuff getting delivered to Marlinspike Hall but decided not to bring it up
Finally the day had come and you looked up to the calendar sighing, unfortunately the day had come
As you went to the foyer and then to the grand room you heard someone singing, you loved music so while you were confused you also couldn't help the smile on your face
You saw Tintin dancing with Snowy, an adorable sight really
"Tinners, what are you doing? And where's Haddock?" You laughed slightly making him turn around to face you still dancing
"Heh, happy birthday (Y/n), I hope you like it." He pulled you in to dance with him, just one of the activities you would be doing for the rest of the day
CatDog
"Aw come on Cat, I'm sure she'll love it!" Dog knit as Cat was making a poem, being a bit of a hypocrite as he was just as worried as his brother
"I'm not so sure, my work isn't the best…" He looked down at his paper, only a few sentences were written but by his reckon they were rather cliché
It was their best friend (Y/n)'s birthday soon enough, just in two days and they really wanted her approval
In a world that was so cruel to them for being a CatDog she was the only one who actually treated them with kindness
Her opinion meant more than anything to them and it didn't help that after all these years they had gotten a crush on her
They were working on their gifts non-stop, the night before your birthday was one of the best rests they had ever gotten
The judgement day had finally come and they would be able to see just how disappointed you were in them
Yet as you received their gifts and read through Cat's poem, the grin on your face was like a beacon of joy
"Dog, this is so cute!" You hugged the plush version of CatDog closer to your chest making them blush wishing that plush was really them
"And Cat, this poem is… the best thing I've ever read." You smiled at them before setting down the toy to enwrap them in your arms
Suffice to say you really liked their gifts, suppose their worrying was all for nothing
Katz for Courage
You had been with Katz for a few years and everything was perfect! Well, maybe not everything
Every year without fail he would give you a really weird birthday present, a knitted square for how long you too have known each other, it was the sixth year and so he gave you six pieces of cloth
It was 21 by now and yet you still don't entirely understand what it all means, just that it was another piece to the puzzle
After the third year you figured out that the squares seemed to make some sort of pattern, still didn't make any sense but every year it was becoming a little clearer that it would make some sort of picture
A picture of what… you had no idea, but you're sure it would be great, Katz is a genius after all
"Ugh, why are they so big?!" You struggled to pull along the quilt, this is probably what Katz spent most of the year working on!
As you pulled the final square into place it all unravelled before your very eyes and your smile erupted like a volcano
It was a picture of you and Katz, sure it was little childish and rather gaudy but he made it and put so much thought into it that no painting could ever compare
"Do you like it?" You heard a charming British voice coming from behind you, you turned around and nodded
"When I first started I thought that when you deciphered what it was I could confess my feelings to you, obviously it's too late for that so I suppose this will do." He took a small box out of his non-existent pocket before getting down on one knee
"Darling, will you marry me?"
Walter for Don't Starve
Having a birthday in the Constant is weird, you don't actually age so there isn't much of anything to celebrate
But obviously Walter didn't feel the same way when you told him it was your birthday
"It's your birthday?! That's so cool! How old are you now? Well probably the same as last year but still! Whooo!" He shouted raising his arms in the air to demonstrate how excited he was
"Yeah but I don't think it's that import-" you started before being interrupted by a certain firebug
"Hey (Y/n) stop talking to your boyfriends and kill those pig guys, we need more meat and everyone else is busy!" Willow shouted, making Walter blush sure he had a crush on you but you were way outta his league
Yet you just sighed and looked at your feet, you hated those pig men, they always creeped you out and he definitely took notice of this
"Willow! It's (Y/n)s birthday! I'll be doing it for her!" Walter springed up before running over to her
This continued for the rest of the day, if you were given a job he would be the one to carry it out for you
"Walter, aren't you tired? I'll do the rest for today." You sat down next to him as he was playing with Woby
He quickly turned to look at you before shaking his head vigorously, "No way! It's your birthday, I insist you take a day off."
You blushed before looking down, "Oh, o-okay then." He tilted his head and gave you a grin
Pim for Smiling Friends
You and Pim were friends, but just that friends
Sure you found him to be cute but only in the platonic way, Pim on the other hand…
Pim had a huge crush on you and was so excited for your birthday! Finally a day in which he can shower you with his love
Even if you didn't reciprocate his feelings he was just happy to get it out of his system
He racked his brain trying to think of the perfect birthday gift for you, wrote lists and everything
He finally found it, and goodness it was perfect! He was even more excited for that special day now
And finally finally the day had come and while you got given pretty wonderful gifts from everyone else he's sure he had knocked it out of the park
"I hope you like it, Apples." He passed you the gift and sat next to you, eager to see your reaction
As you opened it your jaw almost literally dropped, it was a Sam action figure, those were so expensive!
"Glad you like it!" He beamed at you before quickly kissing your cheek, you touched said cheek and smiled to yourself blushing lightly
Pop for HTF
You and Pop were besties ever since childhood, and now as adults you two started to date
Your birthday was coming up and with the (sorta) help of Cub he set his plan into motion
His plan? To give you a beautifully done time capsule of memories
It was a little hard getting everything, luckily enough however the 80s seemed to have been going back in style
Sure some of the stuff he needed was discontinued by now but luckily the internet was an archive of much needed information
So creating your own Clear Pepsi isn't an impossible feat by any means
Finally the day had arrived and as you went over to Pops house he led you to his back garden
"You may take it off now," As you took your blindfold off you saw that Pop's party was just like the ones you had as a kid, complete with Pop wearing his cap backwards
"Heh, this is really- Is that a pinata?!" You asked pointing towards your favourite party activity as a kid, grabbing a bat putting the blindfold back on before you started whaling on it
Pop chuckled at the sight before joining you in relieving the past, with the love of the moment
Rolf for EEnE
Rolf was a good cook, no doubt about that, Gordon was like an amateur compared to this boy
But the one place his talents fell through was baking, particularly the western idea of a cake
In his country cakes were made up of sausages and potatoes, but he heavily doubted you wanted that kind for your birthday
And boy, oh boy, did he want to make you happy and impress you on your birthday, what with his crush and all
He was thinking of getting a Betty Crocker cake mix, but no not special enough, not heartfelt enough
He really needed to work on this if he wanted to make you lo- I mean like him, as a best friend even
And so his work began, he was having difficulty finding a baking book but luckily libraries were full of books
And so the day before your birthday he worked his butt off trying to make the perfect cake, after many failed attempts he finally did it, finally made the perfect cake!
Finally the day had come and he could see your reaction to the cake he tried so hard to make
"Well, do you like it (Y/n)-Girl?" He asked but your mind was racing around trying to put into words how good you thought it was, but no words could ever compare so you simply nodded
The rain drenching your fur was hardly noticeable compared to your situation.
Cat’s plan failed and now you were all going to die.
Not that you blamed him, it wasn’t his fault the lightning struck the worst place possible.
Hell, you were still amazed at what you all had done with such little time.
Even if it was all in vain, Cat’s leadership and inventiveness managed to bring you all together for something great.
It was one of the things you loved about him.
Another one of the things you’ll never get to tell him.
Another one of the things plaguing your mind as you sit atop the edge of the cliff where CatDog’s house once stood.
Not that you’re only one pondering your life choices at that moment. Even the Greasers sitting at your right are lost in thought.
That is, until Cliff speaks up.
“My real name isn’t Cliff… it’s Clifford,”
I guess it’s confession time now.
As you look back and forth, everyone is coming clean about something.
Then a gnawing feeling grows in your stomach as you look at the feline sitting next to you, staring off into space.
You try to ignore the idea that enters your mind and flushes your face, but it’s almost impossible.
It only gets worse as Shriek confesses her love to Dog and smooches him dead on the lips (to which he promptly faints).
You glance once more at Cat, then to the lovestruck poodle, then at your tight grip on your fur.
You think it over once more and sigh.
Well… it’s now or never.
You just wish you could look up from your paws and into his eyes.
“Hey, Cat?”
“Yeah?”
His voice was raspy, like he could break down into tears at any moment.
You suck in a breath subconsciously and…
…
Before either of you realize it, your lips are pressed against his. In reality it barely lasts a moment, but it feels like an eternity for you two. A beautiful eternity.
Your faces barely move from each other when it’s over, the feeling leaving you both breathless.
There are no words spoken between you, not even when you finally bring yourself to open your eyes, and find his staring deep into yours and widened with… surprise? Fear? Disgust?
You don’t wait to find out, and soon you’re sitting alone behind the scrap heap that was your saving grace, waiting for it all to end.
…
But it never does.
When you look up at the night sky, it’s clear, the clouds shifting with haste to reveal the shimmering heavenly bodies above you.
Your emotions clash terribly as you fixate on the stars and strangely, not one of them is the joy that you’re still here, and alive.
It’s all too much for one person to take in.
Perhaps that’s why the last, and first man you wanted to see then sat down next to you.
The only acknowledgment he got was the sudden pink on your face, you felt even more embarrassed that you couldn’t bring yourself to say a word, or even take your eyes off the world above.
“So…”
He fidgets with the damp grass as he tries to gather his words.
But two faint words spill out from you before he can even start, so faint the feline doesn’t catch them.
“I’m sorry…”
You repeat yourself barely louder, but this time he understands.
“Why are you apologizing?”
He got you there. The tears that start to flow from your eyes wouldn’t let you speak even if you had anything to say.
That’s when you’re brought into his arms, face pressed into his shoulder, and you cry.
It’s not just feelings from tonight, years and years of longing spill out right then and there.
He doesn’t say anything, just rubs his paw up and down your back.
It feels like hours have passed when your sobs soften into silent tears once more, and his voice soothes the fire in your stomach.
“I’d say you should have told me sooner but… it’s not like i’ve been honest with you either,”
Were you hearing this right?
He grips your shoulders and pulls you back so he can look at you. His heart breaks at the sight of your eyes, red and puffy.
“I should be the one apologizing for making you wait so long,”
More tears start to fall, but a different emotion propels them this time.
A lot of things happen at once, his paw meets the back of your head, he leans in and…
Cat helping Reader de-stress from a tough day at work?
Almost had a mental breakdown at work today and the sound of his voice from my tiny voice speaker calmed me down instantly. Top tier feline. Love him (maybe too much idk)
A Cat's Comfort (Cat X Reader)
(Sorry this took me so long! I hope you're doing better!)
Cat and Dog laid down on the couch as they spoke. Cat seemed a bit.. concerned about your well being. You weren't back from work yet and he hadn't the slightest idea where you could be!
"I dunno Dog, I mean typically they're home by now.." Cat rested his chin on one of the couch's arms, staring at the door longingly.
Dog yawned "Maybe they just got caught up in traffic, Cat.. they could be okay."
One of Cat's huge flaws was overthinking things, he knew this and he knew it well. His ears flattened.
"You get some rest, I'll keep waiting for them." Cat said, remembering how tired Dog sounded.
"Sure thing, Cat.. As long as you'll be okay on your own.." Dog said, nodding as he almost instantly fell asleep. Classic Dog.
A few minutes after Dog went to sleep Cat saw the door open, his ears perking up and giving the ajar door his full attention. He saw you walk through the door, he could tell you were exhausted.
"Y/N...!" He said, looking back at Dog and saw he was still asleep. He looked back at you and smiled.
Cat scooched back as he allowed you some space on the couch. You sat down next to him and he instinctively rested on your lap.
"Thanks, Cat.. I'm sorry it's just.. it's bean a rough day." You rubbed your forehead, still getting over your stress headache.
"Oh what happened my perfect petunia?" He said trying to cheer you up, he really did come up with the most complicated pet names. It was something you really did love about him.
"It's just been a rough day.." You patted his head as you leaned back in the couch.
Cat let out a long purr as you patted him. You smiled at this, feeling slightly better after hearing his purr.
He noticed you smile and smirked "You know, cat's purrs are known to have a healing property! Just another reason why cats are amazing."
You laughed a bit as he shared this fact, Cat always knew exactly what made you feel better.
"Thanks Cat.." You say as you sigh, continuing to pet him as you look up at the ceiling.
A few anons have asked for and ngl I miss writing so:
Cat Headcanons
You had just recently moved to Nearberg for your job and so were going door to door introducing yourself to the neighbour and yet everybody so far was being less than neighbourly to you
And so as you reached the last house, a weird one half fish and half firehydrant, you sighed and grimaced putting on a fake smile as you knocked on the door yet instead of the usual slam to the face a dog started to shake your hand rapidly
"Hello! I'm-" He started grinning widely, it was a nice grin and you were glad that at least someone in this neighbourhood was nice, yet you suddenly heard another voice shout "Dog!"
Walking up to the door was a cat who looked very similar to Dog you figured they may be related, "Don't run off like that! You know I sometimes have difficulty catching up to youuu" He grumbled before looking over to you a grin starting to form on his face
"You, I've never seen you here before. Come in, come in." He grinned walking back into the house, Dog following after him, you smiled and joined suit but as you looked back down to them you found that they were attached to the hip!
"So, would you like coffee or tea or-" The cat started before trailing your gaze to find that you were staring at their hip, "Oh, you've noticed, well better get this over with." He sighed before grabbing a cup and pouring himself a coffee
"Get what over with?" You asked sincerely looking back over to him, to which he raised an eyebrow and set down his cup
"The heckling, I'm sure you must think we're some kind of freak." You frowned a little, upset but not surprised that they were expecting to be laughed at
"No, I'm not gonna laugh at you, sure it may be a little surprising but it's not anything to be laughed at for." You smiled warmly at him, to which he blushed, Dog noticed this and grinned a little
"Oh, w-well, my offer still stands." He grinned
"One hot chocolate please …" You trailed off to which Cat finally understood what you were doing and responded with his name, "Cat and Dog huh? Not very original…" You laughed as you took a sip from the cup you were just handed
"Hey, we didn't pick them." Cat responded chuckling a little himself, he then sighed as he placed his head on his hand, before drumming the table a little as you looked back to him
"So, uh…" He started looking back and forth before 'subtly' asking Dog to leave the room
"Yes?" You raised an eyebrow to which he shot his look back to you and started laughing nervously, he then sighed as he bit the bullet "Would you… maybe, like to… go on a date with me?
He immediately expected you to start laughing at him but instead you responded with, "Yeah I'd love to, how about Saturday, at that fancy restaurant place?" You asked to which he nodded repeatedly, shocked that you would even agree to it, "Great! Then it's a date."
The reader insert is southeren (because she's based on my CatDog OC kinda) :)
Wonderful Half Life! Dog x Reader Headcanons
One day while Dog was out on a stroll he heard the beautiful sound of music
He walked over to where it was coming from and saw something that would change his life forever
It was a cute girl singing her heart out while the band played for an audience of people
Dog stood there and watched feeling his heart flutter and sighed before leaning on a wall fence
It was truly love at first sight
As time passed he kept on coming to your shows and eventually worked up the courage to actually talk to you
And so after you said your goodbyes to the band Dog approached you sweating buckets
"Hello ma'am, uh, good show. You're really good at that singing thing." He said taking off his hat to clutch it in front of his chest
"Well, thanks darlin'. I'm glad ya liked it, my name's (Y/n) case you didn't know." You shook his hand and winked at him making Dog blush
"Heh, my name's Dog." He said tilting his head slightly which you found to be rather endearing
After that first encounter you and Dog became quite good friends and started to go everywhere together
Unlike what he thought at first, instead of being a profession singer you instead worked under Mr. Cat, and when you learnt that he was a vagabond you suggested that he live with you and start working under Cat as well
After a while of being friends Dog started to work up the nerve to ask you to be his gal
"So, (Y/n) you know how we're friends and all?" He was rather sheepish but you smirked at him and raised an eyebrow
"Yeah, I know honey." You replied and that nickname made Dog's already pretty evident blush even more evident
"Yeah, but I was thinking maybe we could be something… other than… friends?" You knew straight away what he was getting at and smiled warmly at him
"I would love to be your partner Dog." You said putting your hand on the back of your neck
"Hi-ho-diggity!" He wrapped you in his arm and picked you up in his hug before putting you back down to give you a kiss
