My contribution to the @dghdabigbang Valentin’s Mini Bang! @bloodamber made some gorgeous art that you can see Here. Thanks for making this so much fun. And thanks to the mods who put the whole thing together.

For my first ever bang, this was so much fun! I got a little carried away with my word count, but I’m happy with how it turned out. Little bit of fluff, little bit of angst, hopefully some laughs. Something for everyone.

Summary: When the kitten-shark makes a mess of Dirk's apartment, he goes to the only person he can for help - Todd. Will living in close quarters bring the two of them even closer or will it split them up for good?

“C’mon Todd, she barely takes up any space. You won’t even know she’s here.”

“She’s got a shark in her! She ate your apartment!”

Dirk started to stroke her head, as if to tell her not to listen to Todd. “She didn’t mean to!” He protested, “She’s a good girl. Aren’t you?” He held her up to say it to her face and she meowed back at him.

“Just a couple days?” Todd asked tiredly, already feeling his resistance failing against Dirk’s sad eyes and the kitten’s pitiful meows. It was a dangerous combination.

Dirk perked up immediately and the kitten looked over at Todd for the first time. “Absolutely! Just a few days and then we’re out of your hair for good. Does that mean we can stay?”

“Yes, you can stay.” Todd smiled when Dirk whooped with enthusiasm. “But you had better not destroy my apartment. And she had better behave herself.”

Just on cue, the kitten wriggled free of Dirk’s hold and stepped gingerly from the couch to the armchair, where she promptly settled herself down into Todd’s lap. He stroked her back—it was hard to resist the kitten fluff—and she started to purr.

“She says ‘thank you’,” Dirk interpreted.

“How about she agrees not to eat my place and we’ll call it even?” Todd chastises, but he was smiling when he said it.
