Kitten Around | Sonja & Maya
@strawberrypriestess
Eyes. Some yellow, some green, some blue. Some with slits down the irises, some with pupils so big Maya swore she could fall into them any second. And every time she passed the KitTea Café, they just… stared at her. Calling to her. Luring her in. Sirens, beckoning. Who could resist?!
“I’m… sorry…” Maya said a silent prayer to her wallet, begging, please, don’t let her spend the last of her Gs here… She needed things, like clothes, and ferry passes, and FOOD--
And then then her vision was filled with paws, pink noses, and she swore there were clouds and petals floating in the air, too. Maya clapped her hands to her cheeks. Her mouth parted with awe. And soon, her eyes were alright with a glossy sheen.
Cats. Cats everywhere. She would scream if it weren’t for the fact that it would scare them all away. Instead, Maya stood still, letting the sound of soft mewls and purrs lull her into comfort and sweet, fuzzy joy. Lighting could strike her down at this very moment and she would die happy. Who needed all that other stuff?!
“Ah... H-Hey little guy!” Was this what it felt like to be chosen? A little black and white cat approached her slowly, tail up, sniffing her shoes. Maya bent down and stuck out her fingers, letting the friendly feline feel her out on its own terms.
“Heh, you remind me of cookies and cream. What’s your name?” Luckily, there was a collar around the cat’s neck to answer her question. “Rosie,” Maya said, reading it out loud. “Well, it’s really nice to meet you, Rosie! Even though you don’t really look like a Rosie at all.” She grinned as the cat rubbed its face against her palm, whiskers tickling.
“See, when I think of Rosie, I think of red! Or pink! Something like…” Maya looked around the room, only to meet eyes with a young woman standing just a few feet away.
“Like you! You look like a Rosie!” Pink hair. Perfect.
