Soft HC: Reaper saves a kitten and gives it to Kirk, who keeps it in his lap, asleep and purring.
Leonard was on his way back to the Academy as he heard the loud meowing . A bit confused he looked up. Indeed there was a cat stuck on the tree. Reaper looked around before putting his grocery bag on the ground. He easily climbed up the tree to that poor kitten. He carefully took it and jumped back down. The kitten kept meowing and Leonard inspected it. The cat had no injuries, still it looked unhealthy thin. Bones sighed and took his bag again before continuing his way to the academy. Now with a little kitten on his arm.
As he entered his dorm room he saw Jim sitting at his desk and learning. But as the cat meowed the blonde looked up. Slowly he stood up and made his way to his best friend.
"Is this a kitten?" he asked if it was the most fascinating thing he ever saw.
"Obviously. I found it on my way back. Seems like it hasn't eaten in a while and I felt bad leaving it behind." Leonard explained.
Jim grinned at him:"You are such a big softie!"
Bones rolled at his eyes but couldn't help the little smile forming on his face.
"Here take the cat for a while. You are probably better with cats anyway."
So carefully Kirk took the kitten from his best friend and sat down on the couch. Immediately the cat made itself comfortable on Jims lap and started purring. Jim smiled happy at this and started stroking the kitten.
Reaper watched this with a adoring smile on his face. Moments like this made his life worth living.
