Writing prompt, part I. A Brewing Disaster.
The Villain has accidentally drank a love potion that gave them a serious crush on the hero. Desperate to maintain their dignity, and knowing that the crush is fake, they do their best to hide it. This is much harder than they originally anticipated.
A robotic hand against his hair was soothing and relaxing as usual. Ludwig - or Fluffy, when Master was angry - has long ago resigned himself to the role of a villainy-white villain's cat.
On can hardly tell a difference. Ludwig had pointy ears, sensitive to touch, incredibly soft snow-white hair, yellow eyes with vertical pupils, disturbingly good reflexes - apart from that, strong and flexible human body, usually dressed in black leather _cat_suit, handsome face with a hint of vibrisses on his cheeks, sharp titan claws...
And gravelly deep "meows", "purrs" and "hisses" for a voice. Nothing, no potion cannot fix this prosthetic abomination in his throat.
Pathetic. How supposed he to throw evil threats and speak dramatic monologues with only a "meow" in his vocabulary? And more important - how supposed he throw them at this Rat-Girl?
"Why so grumpy again?" came phlegmatic voice of Master. He's not so often calm these days. Should appreciate that.
"Ah, you should stop sulking so hard. I know, you hate winter and all the problems heroes cause this season, but we gotta be patient. You will get your piece of rat meat. Eventually."
"Yeah, 'm starving too." - Master closed his book and streched his limbs. Ludwig chose not to hear the loud crack and hopped on two legs, tail hanging near his hips. - "Let's get some food, shall we?"
"Mr-r-row. Meow-meow." added Ludwig in appreciation and followed the lead.
Pale light from lamps at the ceiling mirrored on bald surface of Master's head.
There was something sweet in his water bowl.
As a favored pet, Ludwig ate on the floor, at his own little table and with his own bowls with emblazed "Fluffy" on them.
Embarrasing. Not very much - at least he had a perfect view on big television screen.
Charmed by the food, Ludwig wasn't paying much attention for it, though. News report. All the same.
"Today heroes are victorious once again! The famous Cpt. Corax,--"
Master huffed loudly at this part.
"And his sidekick Ratty,--"
Ludwig huffed loudly at this part.
"--saved the city from evil genius of nefarious professor Abominogen. His orbital laser beam has been destroyed and he will sure see no sky without bars. Jane Walderama, Phantom City News Report, out!"
Master signed and in frustration shoved his plate away from him, accidentally dropping off the table a few flasks from his last experiment.
"A Brewing Disaster", he called a violet liquid, putting its container dangerously close to the edge. "Too soft for my liking, but can be useful later", told he then, not aware, that in near future this horrific liquor will slowly, drop by drop, coming out of its glass prison.
Right in Ludwig's water bowl.
A "no comments" section of news report. Here is a flash of purple captain's suit, here is a wreck of Abominogen's favored mecha, here is uncovered face of Ratty...
Disgusting. Gal is a walking freak show with too long nose, with tiny grey vibrisses on her rosy cheeks... with long pretty eyelashes, a pair of soft rat ears in her raven hair... adorable shyness of her gaze... She hides behind the back of Corax, away from cameras. Silly. How can one hide away such beau--
Ludwig's sudden gasp startled Master a little.
"What's wrong, Ludwig? Did you... Oh. Oh no. Oh no."
Disaster started brewing.
Also, English is not my native language, grammar and stylistic critique will be appreciated.
