Chapter Text
The only one who understands him is his cat.
He's the one who worded it that way, admittedly. But now, everyone repeats it.
They think it's funny.
Think it's a joke.
And that's yet another reason why he prefers the company of Elizabeth 3rd over any human being.
Of course he's aware that she's a cat! How could he not be?
She has four paws, long, white fur, whiskers, and she purrs when he pets her.
She eats cat food.
What else could she possibly be?
But just because she's a feline, that doesn't mean he can't still like her. Talk to her even.
Elizabeth 3rd won't reply to him, not verbally, because, again, she is a cat, and she can only meow.
Still, he feels like she can understand him sometimes.
She tells him through gestures.
Like when he's had a long day, she'll curl up in his lap and purr to help him relax. And when he's forgotten an important call, she'll sit on his phone to remind him.
Just because she's not a human doesn't mean she can't be his friend.
Doesn't mean he can't share his life with her.
Elizabeth 3rd never makes fun of him, she never belittles him. Nor does she try to use him, sure she expects her meals and water as he's her owner, but she never asks for anything more.
He gets her expensive gifts because she deserves them and he can tell they make her happy, but he also knows they aren't why she stays.
Unlike others, his cat just stays for him.
And if he were poor, even if he lived on the street, Elizabeth 3rd would still care for him the same.
She's the only one willing to actually listen to him talk.
So, of course he prefers her.
Why would he rather speak to someone who will only turn him down?
Why would he share his personal problems with someone who will laugh at him?
The cat won't reply, but neither will she judge.
She just listens.
And whatever he tells her, she'll be purring on his lap just the same.
People think it's hilarious that he feels like the only one who understands him is his cat.
But they never try to change that.
They never even attempt to understand him, because he's rich, and it seems like that means he has no problems at all.
He's the heir of C&R, the rich son of the CEO, and it seems like that is all he is.
He doesn't truly count as human to people.
Maybe that's what makes him and Elizabeth 3rd so similar.
She never treats him like a rich man.
She just treats him like someone she loves.
She might just be a cat, but she's the only one who does that.
