Everyone loved dogday in school.he was brave, intelligent, caring and even a leader to most of the kids. People would immediately accept him into friend groups and girls fanning over him but he wouldn’t mind as he see everyone as his friend ,but nobody would say the same for catnap.

Catnap was dogday main and only friend, people didn’t see how as he was silent and shy while dogday was outgoing and talks a lot. Catnap grew up poor which cause an advantage of him getting bullied, he always come to school hungry and wore dirty clothes and the bullying wasn’t ending. Dogday allowed him to pick off of his plate and even donate some of his things to catnap, even if he didn’t ask him for it, but catnap was grateful.

“What a weirdo”

Catnap ears perk up.

“Yeah what the point of his existence?”.Another voice spoke.

Slowly tears form of his eyes.

“Everyone is scared of him why don’t he just stay home?”. After that a few giggles emerged from the group.

“Cause he ain’t got none”.

It was an icing on a cake for catnap to slowly pant as he dig his nails in his arms.

“I heard he live under a bridge, what a little troll”.

Catnap heard the group laugh hysterically as he got up to run to the bathroom. Thankfully nobody was there as he let out a few sobs, he wipe his eyes so many times as his arms filled with scratches tighten around his legs. Why was he even there? Everyone else have an opportunity while he don’t. Teachers look down on him like some type of stray, including strangers as they walk by a child wearing hole filled jeans.

A few minutes goes by and the bell suddenly rung, lunch has ended. He didn’t wanna get up, he wanted to go home. Everyday catnap wake up to his mother with a sorry face claiming he would have to go to school with no lunch or no money again. His father work shifts of being a mechanic but it was only good to keep the house up and nothing else. He was tired of being a charity case, teachers offer to pay for his meal and get students laughing and him wasn’t a good feeling.

Ms delight stared at the clock and recounted her students ,but realized somebody was missing. “Dogday where is catnap?”.

Dogday look around in slightly worried.”I have no idea Ms delight, he was in lunch a few minutes ago”.

After that Ms delight pointed at dogday to come up to the desk as he followed her instructions, he was worried about his little buddy.

“I know catnap is having a hard time that’s why imma give you 15 minutes to find him, if you cannot imma have to call up the security to search for him. I don’t want him to be in any trouble, but I am a mandatory reporter and it’s my job”. This sent a chill through dogday spine as he nodded quickly. “I will go find him!”.

Dogday quickly look through hallways and benches to see if catnap might be wondering around or hiding, He even look at his secret hiding spot but no avail. Oh catnap where are you?.

The time is quickly going by he only had 4 minutes left which he started to whine, he didn’t want catnap to be in deep trouble for skipping. That was his buddy and he would do anything for him.

A few steps till he heard sniffling coming from the boys restroom, it was very similar. He stepped in and see catnap sitting on the floor with puffy eyes, he been crying.

“Catnap! Buddy what’s wrong?”. Dogday bend down trying to hug him but catnap flinches away.

“Catnap….it’s me, dogday, your best friend?”. He slowly grab catnap hands as he smiled. “Come on, where that cute smile I wanna see?”.

Catnap smiled but quickly hid it using his arms as dogday slowly hug him.”I seen it”. This cause a small laughter between the two as he wipe catnap tears away. “Now tell me what’s going on?”. He slowly smooth catnap arms, he knows catnap have a scratching problem, but all he wanna do is make catnap better.

A small choke came from catnap.”i-…I shouldn’t be existing”. Tears fell down from his eyes.”everyone hates me, because I’m too poor”.

“Don’t say that catnap, nobody hates yo-“

“Yes they do!”. Catnap pulled his arms away and start to dig his nails in his arms. “They always tell me in my face, repeating it each day! I always get trashed thrown at me!”. He cried even more but dogday hug him tight.

“Kitty you have me, if u would tell me I would have told them off!”.

“I-I can’t….everyone loves you, your bright….and more social…”. Catnap curled putting his head between his laps. “I’m nobody…..nobody would ever love Me”.

“That’s not true!”. Dogday place his hands between catnap face. “Everyday when I wake up I always make sure to bring extra food just for you, I always buy or give extra clothes to you, I always wait outside for you and even take the blame for you!”. He grip catnap hands. “I’ll give everything up for you just to be right by your side”.

Catnap pupils turned big as a redden blush wave over his cheeks. “Y-you wouldn’t, I’m just….me and your the lovable dogday”.

He pulled catnap closed to his face. “Catnap I watch you progress each day and love your smile, I love how you purr while being happy, I love how you use your tail as an extra limb to carry things. I know your suffering but I’ll will make sure to never leave by your side again”.

Catnap breath staggered as his heart pulses hard to dogday words, as they stare at each other slowly they close in the gap and felt dogday lips brush over his own.

“I love you kitty”.

This caused catnap fur to rise as he kissed dogday, he never felt his emotion running through his body but he wouldn’t trade it for anything. Catnap ears perk up due to the sound of dogday tail being wagged as he giggled.

“Such a cute wag”. Catnap chuckled as he received many kisses to the cheek and eye to the point he was getting drooled on. “Okay okay that’s enough”.

Dogday gave a one final kiss before backing away.”sorry”. He chuckled holding catnap hand tight. “Come on, let’s go back to class”.

Catnap never felt the fear now as they walked back to class together, It was like a dream come true.

After a few weeks of them dating catnap never felt much happy about going to school. His mother even notice the difference thinking he finally made more friends. Catnap been coming home with gifts even though he hate the idea about being a receiver. Dogday been staying right by his side at school not caring how people stare at them but he would whine whenever he was away from catnap due to his circular activities and basketball practice, however once the day was done catnap would wait and get pounced on by dogday getting kissed all over the face.

The bullying died down once dogday friends started to defend catnap and it caused the day to go by fine.

“I brought u something….its not much”. Catnap held a box as dogday observed it.

“What is it?”. He smiled.

“Well…I was looking through a shop and found a nice jewelry…I wanted to get one for both of us”.

Dogday open the box and it contained a two piece jewelry in a shape of a yin-yang symbol. One side hold a moon while the other side hold a sun, like two peas in a pod.

“Oh catnap, you didn’t have to get it”. He kiss catnap cheek as he let out happy whines.

“I had to, well to show how much I love you”. Catnap smiled and blush loving dogday fur touching his own.

“Well….if you love me would you do the honors of putting it on?”. Dogday jokingly remarked as catnap abid to his words. Once put on they both observed the jewelry and see how it was magnetic to each other. Out of nowhere dogday tackled catnap and started kissing catnap.

“He-hey! I wasn’t ready!”. He laugh as the kisses felt like tickles.

“You definitely were when you bought these!”. Dogday refused to get up as his kiss his lover body.

“Dogdaaay”. Catnap whined as his tail flick back and fourth. “I’m getting drooled on, you know how much I hate water on my skin”.

Dogday paused for a moment.”well then…..that’s too bad”.

The day ended with catnap having so much drool on his fur and a wagging puppy sleeping next to him under the stars.

It was all fun till a month later.

School started and it was a raining day so everyone came in with umbrellas and wet clothing, but it didn’t bothered dogday but what really bothered is how catnap desk was empty, he was never late in his life.

The students chattered with each other as dogday patiently wait for catnap, maybe he was sick? Should he had gifted him a phone to keep in touch? Whatever to this there must be a reason.

Ms delight came in holding a file as she wasn’t in her happy smile anymore, it was more like a devastating one.

Kickin flick his legs up the desk.”well Ms delight ain’t delight today I’m guessing”.

Crafty glared at Kickin.”shush”.

Ms delight sighed and sat on her chair before facing the class. “Tonight we had received news about a missing person due to a fire last night and was informed that it was a student from here…..I regret to inform that catnap is missing”.

A loud commotion came from half of the students as they gave out so many questions. Dogday couldn’t believe it, his pants became so rigged as he refused to hear what is being said.

Catnap is missing?

His best friend?

Lover?

His one and only soul mate?

No….this has to be a joke.

“Please guys”. Ms delight spoke more. “This is all a travesty to many of us ,and if you see him make sure you let authorities know”.

Picky turned to dogday and see how his face scrunched up in fear mixed with sadness. “Dogday cheer up, maybe this is a misunderstanding you know he wouldn’t leave you”.

Bubba nodded.”yeah there must be-“. A sudden dash to the door as he jump up in fear.

“DOGDAY!”. Ms delight called after him from the classroom as he dashed out the school.

The raining wasn’t gonna stop anytime soon but it wouldn’t stop dogday from running, he wouldn’t care if he trip or break a leg, He wanted to see his lover.

After a few miles he stop at a once called home for catnap just to see yellow tape signs ,and a burned down house just laying there. He pants while tears fell down his face and quickly made his way to the house. He slowly observed the stuff that was caught in the fire, it was catnap clothing and personal items mix with his parents items. He cried loudly and bang against the ground wishing for catnap presence, he missed his laughter, his smile, his affection…..why him? What did catnap ever do to deserve this? Why do the universe hate on a small cat who wants nothing more but friends and love?.

He rub his arm against his face till something blurry came to his sight, it was shiny. Quickly he walked to the item and realized it was half of the moon necklace, His mate symbol. Slowly he grip it hard and hug it. Why….why out of all people it had to be him?.

As the rain slowly died down he began walking through the streets just roaming around hoping to find catnap ,but nothing came.

He stumbled upon a newspaper article and pick it up, his heart felt like exploding as he read it.

“2 people dead, 1 child missing”.

Catnap parents….are gone?….

The picture of catnap shows how happy he is…

His lover….

All he want is catnap back…..

A vehicle drove up to dogday as he look up and recognized it, own parents came to bring him home.

“Come on son”. His father spoke. “Let’s go home”.

He shook his head.”n-no! I go-gotta find him! I can’t!….i can’t leave him on the streets”

“Dogday he will eventually appear somewhere….just believe in yourself”. Dogday mother spoke softly. “Now it’s time to head home, you will reunite with him one day”.

Let’s hope so.

Chapter Text

It’s been years since he last heard of catnap, each days he goes to school miserable. Sadly the commotion died down during his junior year so it felt like some ghost story, after graduation his father help pay for his college courses to take after the family business and now here he was in his 30’s in his own office at home completing work. All the pain he suffered and endured it all just left.

He sighed completing all the paperwork as he had to make a trip to the building to do his weekly meet ups, due to his father passing he was now held responsible for everything. He looks outside of his window and endure the view of his home and garden, he owned a 2 story mansion with a long yard full of flowers behind the solid entrance gates.

A door open as a red bear figure enter, it was his fiancé. “Oh baby”.

Dogday felt his fiancé kiss his cheek as he laugh. “what is it now?”. She smiled and kiss his neck even more.

“Bobby”.

“Oh right, me and my friends are trying to book a cruise ship and wondering if you can pay for it? I know it’s too much but it would me the world if you do!”. Bobby smiled as she hug him tight as she give puppy eyes.

During his highschool years Bobby was always been the one who was there by his side comforting him due to catnap, she never once left and always made sure he took care of himself, and because of that their relationship grew into a relationship ,and now they were gonna get married.

He felt like he owe her big time.

“Whatever you want princess”. Dogday kiss her cheek earning a happy squeal from her.

“Oh dogday! You make me so happy!”

Bobby kept kissing his cheek as he laugh, after the papers been done he gave her his credit card so she can go have fun with it. He trusted Bobby with his life so why not have fun?

Due to the years he still talk to his old friends which many of them either have their own business or working in job fields, so usually when everyone is free they gather to a place to eat.

Bubba bubbaphant is a scientist who studies basically everything due to his smartness of an elephant.

Kickin is a famous car racer, married to hoppy who have her own gym.

Picky piggy had a farming business and recently teamed up with business people.

Crafty corn owns an art exhibition with the help of dogday donation which she would forever appreciate.

And now here he was, fiancé to Bobby bearhug and the owner of a housing business where he helps build homes or construct industries.

Once finish his work he decided to visit the nursing home where his mother was. Upon arrival he held flowers to put in her vase as he opened her door, they both resembled each other because when the sunshine hit her fur she shines brightly as the sun.

“Oh my dear, are those for me?”. His mother spoke.

“Yes momma, i thought u can use more lively ones”. He mentions as he hinted at the dead ones in her vase.

“How is the proposal going?”. Dogday look at her and smiled. “Im planning on doing it for our anniversary which is in a month”.

“Just like your father”. She starts chuckling but it came out ragged. “You know , I was never interested in him I always deny his proposal, but he was a very determined one and wouldn’t give up. So one evening I was running late to school and accidentally left my book bag on the train, it contained old photos of my family so I was frantic. I look everywhere for the bag but no luck so I was crying for the entire day. However upon waking up the next day your father was right on my door step holding my book bag, he found it and returned it to me. As I grab it he turned around to walk off but I stopped him and invited him inside, that’s when I knew how deep his love was for me. So after years he proposed on the same day we started dating, it was like a fairytale”.

She pulled out her album contained of the family. “I remember how nervous your father was when I was expecting you, You were so adorable”. She pulled out baby pics of dogday as he blushed and chuckled. “Yeah….i was cute back then”.

“And still is now”.

He laugh as she continued pulling out more photos, but some were embarrassing as one showed him in dinosaur pajama with a long tail connected.

“Oh and look at this”.

She pulled out a photo which contained catnap and him first time meeting in kindergarten, dogday held on catnap laughing as catnap was nervously standing there with his fur risen up. This cause dogday to make a sad expression how he missed his old buddy..or ex.

“Mama….”.

“…I know dogday, but sometimes even memories have cherish-able moments you can’t ever forget”. She spoke returning the pic in the album. “Catnap was the cutest thing I ever seen, besides you. He would make you so hap-“.

“Momma”.

She look up and see dogday holding a sorrow face as he stared down, She sighed and held his hands. “I’m sorry…..you moved on, times are changing I guess”.

He placed his head between her chest as his mom rub his head. He was gonna get married , he moved on, he can’t hold to the past anymore.

“Promise me one thing”. He look up at her with tears in his eyes as she continues speaking. “No matter what situation you’re in, please make the right decision. Even if the decision will hurt you”.

The visit ended with him smiling as he wipe his tears and kissing her cheek. “Yeah momma , I will”.

The day slowly went on as he finish up the meeting in his building , it was tough but he got through it. He step out of the room to get some coffee till an alert on his chat appeared on his phone.

“Yo! Your down to eat?”. The name “dare devil appeared as kickin nickname.

He thought for a moment and replied. “Yeah I just finish up a meeting”. He waited a few moments till a ping was heard.

“That sounds boring, come chill with the coolest person you know”.

He smiled and rolled his eyes. “Where?”.

“I was thinking a steakhouse”.

“Ain’t you a chicken?”.

A few moments of silence till Kickin responded back.“Since when did you became a judge?”.

Arriving at the steakhouse he smiled seeing his own friends gathered up in a place.

“Well look who show up Mr fancy pants”. Kickin snickers.

“Good day dogday”. Crafty smiled as she look beautiful in her blue dress.

“Well you look divine today craftycorn”. Dogday complimented her as she chuckled blushing. “Oh shucks, I’m not that divine…it just something I put together”.

“Your a dress maker now? You’re off to a good start already”. Bubba praised her as now craftycorn was a blushing mess chucking.

“Alright yall, she gonna explode with anymore compliments”. Hoppy smiled as she held up the menu.

“I’m ready to eat, I haven’t been eating good for weeks ever since hoppy had me in prison”.

“Prison?”. Dogday question as hoppy kick kickin legs underneath the table. “What he meant by placing him under a strict diet after consuming so much junk food”.

“Like I said, prison”. Kickin finish the sentence as he received another kick to the leg.

A waitress came by and everyone ordered what they want as hoppy made sure to limit kickin calories as later they waited for their food.

A ping rung dogday phone as he look at it.

“Oh sweetie, I know u gave me your card but it’s already out of money and we’re still halfway through the day. I need an extra 3,000”. Bobby bearhug message.

“Who that?”. Picky look at dogday.

Dogday ignored her for a bit as he responded alright and sends her the money with no question. He was filled with riches so it not gonna hurt his pocket or anything.

“Oh just my fiance”.

This cause the table to give a disappointed/cringe looks. “Oh….Bobby?”.

He look up and nodded. “Yeah, I’m proposing in a month”.

Kickin replied low. “Not too late to back out”.

“Huh?”

Hoppy kick kickin as he yelled. “Stop kicking me!”

Crafty corn responded to dogday. “Dogday you sure you wanna marry…Bobby?”.

He nodded. “Yeah…ever since the incident she stood right beside my side making sure I was taken care of”.

Bubbaphant look at him. “If you’re happy, I guess I am too but just keep your eyes open”.

“I love her, what do you see that I don’t?”

They all were silent…they knew exposing Bobby wouldn’t do any good as they wouldn’t want dogday to go through another heartbreak.

“Oh…nothing dogday that’s just our hangry getting to us”. Picky smiled as hoppy nodded. “Yeah let’s just have fun and eat our food”.

The day went by as now it was dark time, dogday was very exhausted as he flap down on the bed groaning. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for him till a loud door opening scared him.

“I’m back my love”. Bobby came in holding alot of bags, mostly from designers.

“How was the trip sweetie?”.

“It was amazing! We went to see a movie, the river, scuba diving and many other places”. She sat on the bed with dogday.

“Nice to see you enjoying yourself”. Dogday placed a kiss on her.

“All because of you”.

Dogday didn’t heard that comment as they both kissed, today was exhausting and maybe they can end the night with something fun?.

“You deserve some type of reward”. Bobby kiss and fumbled dogday ears as his tail wag.

“Like what?”. He was slowly laid down on the bed as Bobby kiss his neck to his stomach and slowly down between his legs.

“You would see~”.

Now it’s the middle of the night as everyone was asleep, after the session last night dogday slowly got up with marks on his body and feeling the need of water, slowly he left the bed and went downstairs to open the fridge to fetch his water bottle.

Once hydrated he closed the fridge but was alerted to a noise in his pantry. Did he had critters? Can’t be because a maid would had notified him or got rid of the problem, maybe they missed one. He slowly went to the pantry as he opened it but it was so dark and didn’t see anything.

“Honey come to bed”. Bobby yelled upstairs as he jumped up. “Uh…I’m coming”.

He closed the door and began to walk upstairs till he heard footsteps, he quickly turned around and a shadow figured was making his way to the door.

“HEY!”. Dogday barked as he quickly went down and went after the figure.

“Come back!”. He shouted after the figure but the figure kept running with no intentions of slowing down.

“Stop now or else!”. Dogday chased him outside as it was night time, once the figure ran toward the gates it was lock so he tried to climb it. It failed when dogday grab a hold of the figure leg and pulled him down making it land on top of dogday.

The figure try to fight out of dogday arms but it ended up just being a wrestling match for them with him not letting go of the figure.

“Why are you trespassing! What did you took?”. Dogday pinned the figure on the floor holding the arms above his head.

Bobby came running outside holding a flashlight looking scared. “Sweetie what’s going on?!”

“Nothing just go inside.” Dogday commanded her but once the light was faced down he got a better look of the mysterious person.

Why the fur so familiar?.

He push the hoodie off and felt his blood ran cold.

“Catnap?”

Catnap had tears falling down as he was a-bit older with missing fur patches on his neck as he was a wreck. A few scars was visible on his face, as they stared at each other hearing catnap sniffling, he could tell he haven’t been sleeping good with the eyebags forming.

“Catnap….its you…your back”. Dogday spoke believing it was all a dream till he seen what catnap was holding, more like stole from his pantry.

It was a singular canned food.

Chapter Text

The next day catnap was sitting down on a very luxurious couch as he didn’t allow anybody to come near him. The maid came and brought him a bowl of food and that was it but he wouldn’t speak or nothing.

“Catnap where have you been all this time?”.

Catnap refused to answer him as he kept eating while gripping the bowl as it was gonna run away.

Dogday reach out to him. “Kit-“. He watch catnap quickly move far away from him, catnap stared at his bowl with big wide pupils as he shook.

No matter how much attempts he made nothing was done, all he was gonna do is watch catnap eat.

“Well….im so glad you came back”. No reaction came from catnap.

Bobby stared afar as she cringed at catnap sitting on the couch, a very expensive couch getting ruined by dirt coming from catnap. “Sweetheart may I talk to you?”.

Catnap ears perked up but didn’t look, sweetheart?. Dogday went up and left to the next room and as he watched him leave he look around for an exit.

“I don’t like this”. Bobby cross her arms. “Maybe we can give him to a homeless shelter, he will be fine there”.

“Homeless shelter?”. Dogday shook his head. “No he been through a lot. It’s not his fault he is the way he is right now”.

“Well he is ruining the mood, today is supposed to be our little date and we only have two hours to get ready”. Bobby pouted as dogday sighed. “He is my friend, I’m not willing to let him go back on the streets. He needs help and care”.

“Maybe we can reschedule”. Bobby look at him crazy. “Reschedule? No no no we ain’t doing that”.

“Bu-“. She stop him from speaking. “No buts, today is supposed to be our time. You can always come back to treat him, but now let’s enjoy us”.

Dogday sighed, this wasn’t going any easier this way. He couldn’t go on a vacation knowing his ex-lover desperately need help.

“Bobby, you don’t understand he needs me”.

“He stole from us”.

“It was a canned soup, all he wanted was some food”.

Bobby scoffed. “Yeah right, who knows maybe he stole from us before. He might be stealing right now”.

Dogday suddenly glared at her. “He isn’t no thief, he just a helpless person who is afraid , you never seen how he was back then. Maybe you jus-“

“Maybe you just love him”. Bobby backtracked on him as she rolled her eyes. “He abandoned you dogday, I was there to pick up the pieces! If it weren’t for me you wouldn’t be happy today”.

This caused dogday heart to stop, he look down not knowing what to say next. Is what she saying true? Did he still love him? No…he moved on.

“Yeah….your right, but I won’t leave him hanging dry”.

“Do you even love me?”. Bobby remarked as dogday stared at her. “What?”.

“Do you even love me?”. She repeated again. “Cause if you do, you would agree with me instead of making me out like some sort of villian”.

“I’m not making you a villian”. Dogday retorted but a scoff came from Bobby. “If you love me, then start acting like it”. She poke his chest. “Imma go hang with my girls, when I come back you better have a decision made”.

That was the end of their conversation as Bobby left leaving dogday standing like a lost dog.

A commotion came from the living room as he went to check, The maids were holding catnap back as he tried to escape from the window.

“Mr day! He wouldn’t listen to us”. One of the maid squeal as she held catnap legs trying to pull him in.

Catnap tried to squirm out of the window to leave, but the maids wouldn’t let him.

He intervened and pulled catnap lower body inside as he held the squirming cat. “Chill catnap!”. A hiss came from him as he try biting dogday arms.

“Please- let me go!”. Catnap cried out.

“Not until you get treated!”. Dogday held him tight till he stop fighting back and started sniffling.

“Please…..let me leave, I don’t wanna get treated”.

Catnap cried till dogday pull him closer to get a better view. He had scratch marks on his missing patches of fur, he’s been scratching himself. A few scars over his cheeks and shoulders could tell he been either in a fight or bad situations.

“You need help…I can get you to a doctor”. Dogday slowly release him and relieved when he didn’t run away. “No..no doctors”. Catnap shook his head.

“Your injuries are gonna get worse, don’t you want to feel better?”. Catnap shook his head again. “I-I’m fine….i just wanna leave”.

Dogday didn’t know what to do, he didn’t want catnap to leave or be unattended. He sighed and hug him tight. “I can take care of you, don’t leave me again”.

He tried to push dogday away ,but he was too weak. All he wanted was to get some food and run back to the streets, it was making it harder for him.

“Just stay here…for 3 days, once you’re good you can leave. Deal?”. Catnap look down and nodded. “O-ok”.

Dogday stood up and took his hand. “Come on, I’ll give you a tour. After that we can get you a new outfit”.

Catnap shook his head, no. “Oh…alright, just tell me when u need one”. Dogday smiled softly as he began to show catnap around.

He showed all the main 5 rooms, including the masters. The kitchen, basement, the wine room and the entire yard as workers were attending to.

Catnap was led into one guest room that had a king size bed with a walk in closet with its very own restroom.

“I know you would want privacy so this where you would be staying till the 3 days are up”. Dogday smiled as catnap took in the view of the entire view, He wasn’t used to this much space.

“…..for me?”. Dogday nodded. “For you, catnap”.

Catnap slowly rub his body against the smooth blankets, when was the last time he ever felt comfort?.

Dogday chuckled once he heard a small few purrs coming from him. “I’ll be in the office if you need me”.

He was gone. Catnap look both ways of the room…..he left dogday, why is he helping him? Isn’t he supposed to be hating him?.

Catnap look at himself in the mirror, dirt patches was all on his fur and clothing, he didn’t with stealing. He refused to ask for help on the streets, almost gotten assaulted multiple times which caused his arms to be scratch due to his anxiety.

He is a disgrace

A stray

A helpless freak

Why…why is dogday giving him love after all these years?

“Why won’t you hate me?”. A tear fell down.

Time roll by as dogday announced to his friends that catnap was staying over at his place, which he kinda regrets now as everyone wanna barge into his place tomorrow to meet him, he chuckled as catnap was gonna have a surprise of his life tomorrow.

Bobby came in and sat in the sofa in the corner of the room, she gotten a newer sunglasses with jewelry.

“So did you make up your mind?”

Dogday smiled. “Yeah, he staying with us for 3 days? Till he is better”.

Bobby clenches her teeth. “He was supposed to be gone. Today”.

He gave her an unimpressed look. “It’s only for 3 days…he ain’t gonna harm anybody, believe me”.

A few moments of silences before Bobby suddenly smiled. “Right…I’m sorry baby, i’ve been on edge lately. You know what I have extra time of my hands., so why don’t I help out? You have all this office stuff going on so why not leave it to me?”. She said happily.

Dogday was shock then turned into a smile. “You sure? You would do that for me?”.

“What type of wife would I be if I don’t treat our guest well? I will make sure he gets treated, fed well and dress nicely. I wouldn’t want him to leave here unhappy”. Bobby kiss dogday as he hug her tight.

“You’re a life saver Bobby, I love you so much”.

He kiss her neck up and down till he press mini kisses above her chest. “If he makes you happy, then im happy. Now get back to working, I’ll see you in bed~”

Bobby left as the hallways echoed due to her high heels , it was dead silent as some of the maids went home.

“Ms bearhug it’s time for-“. A maid held up a few pair of clothes, but was snatched from her hands by Bobby making her jump back in fear.

“I know now go away”. She snarled as the maid quickly left.

Everything was going so good till that filthy animal came back, she knew catnap was the first love of his life but letting him stay here is just gonna make dogday forget her and get with catnap again.

She won’t allow this.

She knew about the proposal, but didn’t say anything. Tomorrow she will deal with the problem whether dogday like it or not.

Chapter Text

As the sun rose up footsteps can be heard throughout the house as maids started to prepare everything. Sizzling pans are echoing, clanks of dishware being put on the table, including a vacuum being turned on to clean the carpets.

Dogday came down fixing his tie as he step into the kitchen seeing a plate filled sitting on his spot. “Sorry ladies, I have an emergency work meeting to attend. Keep it warm to give to catnap for me”. One of the maids chirp. “Yes Mr.day”.

A soft singing came as Bobby entered the kitchen, she gave a small kiss to dogday then to went sit down. Suddenly the maids mood changed, they dislike her for the treatment. “I’ll make sure to get catnap for breakfast, Go on now my love”. She wave him goodbye as he closed the door.

One of the maids placed the food in the microwave as they continued on with their day. “You”. Bobby spoke as she smiled picking at her bacon with a fork, the maid looks at her. “Yes miss?”.

“Go get catnap for me”. Bobby hummed. “I like to speak to him”.

This didn’t sound right in the all of the maids ears as she comply and walked up the steps. Upon arriving at the door she started to knock but no sound came from behind. “Mr. Catnap, breakfast is done”.

“………”. The maid didn’t hear no response again and sighed, well then. Once she open the door she didn’t see a person in sight, where is he? Did he escape from the window?. She tried opening the window but it was lock, nope not it.

“Catnap?”. She called out again, “Mr.day is gonna be upset” she thought.

“What’s taking so long?”. The maid jump up at the sight of Bobby bearhug at the door.

“It appears that catnap….is gone”.

She hummed smiling.”well, this just makes my life easier then”. This tone sent a shiver down the maid back as her attitude was unsettling.

“Come on then, the plates ain’t gonna wash themselves”. She turned away to walk out as the maid nodded and slowly followed behind.

“Mrwp”.

She stop once she heard the sound, a purr?. Her ears slowly lifted up to hear the sounds again, she stood still for a moment till she catch wind of repeating sounds coming from the closet. Once she walked toward the closet she tried to open it, but it was lock. Slowly placing her ear towards the door she hear endless purring through the door, she look underneath the door and see abit of purple fur sticking out.

“Mr catnap?”. She started to knock on the door and soon heard no more purring. “I been told to serve you breakfast, Mr day is out so it’s just us maids here, including ms Bearhug”.

No response came from him once again.

She sighed, she couldn’t leave him here all hungry. “Well….it would be a shame for all that food being wasted”.

Finally noises came from behind the door, was it working?. “I mean….we stood at that stove preparing breakfast for an hour and a half, we broke sweat and used our time to make it. Now sadly it would go in the trash….where our time would be in vain”.

That did it as the closet door finally opened, catnap slowly look out as she got view on him. He looks terrified and beat up, he looks at her with sorrow baggy eyes.

“We have a whole plate ready for you”. The maid slowly reach out her hand towards him, He stared at it for a moment then slowly took her hand.

Once downstairs some of the maids who are new seen catnap coming downstairs. “Who is that?”. One of the maids look closer. “Hmm, he is kinda cute” the other one giggled. “Looks like he been in a few fights”.

In the kitchen Bobby look at the entrance as she gave an unimpressed look. “Oh….he still here?”.

The maid showed catnap towards a seat where the food was at. “Yes, he was just hiding”.

Catnap stared at the food as he look up to see everyone watching him, his ears twitched as anxiety filled him up. He never liked being watched…slowly he started to scratch his arms.

“Oh, looks like you’re still at it 9 years later”. Bobby chuckled and pointed at his arms. “I thought you grew out of that phase”.

Catnap didn’t say a word as he slowly pick his food, the maids didn’t say anything but continued to do their work but was in earshot of the conversation.

“My finance left me in charge to take care of you, I’ll accepted of course because what type of person I be if I didn’t help a poor person on the street? He is such a sweetheart for taking you in, he was always known for being a saint towards charity cases”. Bobby smirked when she caught catnap eyes pupils dilated in fear as he slowly grip the plate. Catnap felt sick…he couldn’t eat as everytime he tried to swallow it wouldn’t go down.

“So I took the initiative to make sure your alllll well, it would break dogday heart if you weren’t well, or I guess you don’t care since you…abandon him”.

That does it as catnap suddenly gagged and threw up on the floor. The maids look in horror as some quickly went to his aid but he quickly swatted at them to not get close. Tears and vomit filled his face as he ran away back to his room.

He lock the door and cried on his bed, he wanted to leave so bad. Why won’t they let him? He gagged up a few more vomit bits as he wipe his face on the bedsheets. He continued scratching his neck and arms as he whimpered from the pain, he just want to be left alone, disconnected from the world.

“Well your a cute thing aren’t you?”. A voice spoke as catnap ears twitch.

“Yeah, this one don’t talk that much. But he is a very young teenage cat”. A man gruffly said as he flick out the cigarette.

In a very dark place where the sun don’t shine, only false lights, was a place where nobody would ever step foot in.

A very scared catnap was in a cage shivering against the other children who was being sold. It was cold, dark and barely had any food fed to them, Everyone had to huddle to keep warmth.

The lady look like to be in her mid 30 stared down at the cage filled with kids mix with recently aged teens as she stared into catnap eyes.

“I want his one”. The lady pointed at him as the guy brought him out by the scruff, all the kids tried to grab catnap but they didn’t wanna suffer a punishment. “This one?”. The lady grab hold of catnap and held him up observing his looks, purple was always her favorite color. “How much?”.

“Hmm 2k, take it or leave it”. The man cross his arms till a package filled of money hit his lap. “Have a nice one”. He chuckled as he grip the package.

Catnap was still in his restrains as he look back towards the cage, where the kids look pity at him with tears falling down.

The lady slowly step out towards a black car as she started to rub his back as some sort of pet. “Don’t worry little one”. She slowly blew smoke in his face making his eyes water up.

“I’ll take good care of you”.

A knock on the door snap catnap out of his thoughts as he look back at the door, the maid came in holding a pair of clothing. “I have….some pairs of clothes for you, ms bearhug wants you to get dress properly as she wants you to go somewhere with her”.

He shook his head no and slowly went under the bed. She came close “please Mr. Catnap, she gonna take you to the doctor to get treated. Don’t you want to feel good?”.

He do more than anything.

“With the treatment your fur will grow back, and you would look newer and make dogday happy”.

He slowly peek his head out once he heard the name….dogday…why does the name still intrigues him. He was taught to never love, to take, and never receive handouts.

“I mean…..dogday won’t let you leave till you get better….he said till your better you will be allow to leave. So if your better you can go your way”.

“The sooner….the better”. He thought in his head as he slowly came from underneath the bed.

“Now, let’s get you to the doctors”.

After a long day work was finally over, dogday came out longing for something to eat. He was excited to know if catnap was fed and treated so when he opened the door he look around and see the maids cooking dinner. “What is dinner tonight?”.

“It’s Friday so we decided to do wings Friday”.

“Wings? Sign me up”. He chuckled earning a small giggles from the others.

“Did catnap eat?”.

The maids seem to look at each other but didn’t say a word, the day with catnap seem to overwhelm him due to Bobby words.

“Yes he did eat”.

He started to smile. “Including going to the doctors?”.

That took the tension as the maids had a “not so happy” face as they attend to their work which concerned dogday. “Well?”.

“Weellll, catnap….did go to the doctors, but if I was you I would go see him personally”.

Dogday look confused, did something happened at the doctors? Was Bobby there to treat him?. He went upstairs and knock on catnap door. “Catnap?”.

It was odd as he didn’t hear nothing from behind the door, he opened the door and see the room was dark, he heard sniffling coming from somewhere and turned on the light but catnap wasn’t in the bed…more like in the closet.

He knocked on the door as catnap small cries was being heard. “Catnap, buddy. What happened?”.

“L-leave me alone”. A soft cry came from behind the door.

This shrunken his heart as he place his hands on the knob but realized it was lock.

“What happened? You can tell me anything, did something happens at the doctors?”.

“please, I don’t wanna talk to you”. He cried out more as dogday let out soft whines.

“Catna-“

“Just go!”.

A soft sigh came from dogday as he decided to just sit at the door, he was gonna wait for hours to find out what happened.

“You know…..after the news we received did you know I ran out of school and towards your home?”.

This made the crying stop.

“I looked around your home and found something….a trinket…it symbolized you”.

“The…moon trinket”. Catnap thought as he wipe his tears, he thought it burned in the fire.

“I looked everywhere for you but you just…disappeared out of thin air”. Dogday slowly push the trinket underneath the closet. “Held on to it till this day”.

He closed his eyes and smile as his tail wagged hitting the floor. “Now since you’re back, I don’t wanna risk losing you, not again. I may be getting married but….you came back in my life”.

A soft click came from behind the door as he backed away, he waited for a few moments till his hands grip the knob and open up the closet. He look at catnap curled up figure as his heart shrunken.

Catnap was wearing a cone as he was softly crying, he realized the arms were patch up and catnap was trying to scratch himself but he couldn’t, he couldn’t see no nails coming from his paws.

“C-catnap, what happened?”. He pulled him up to his arms as he observed his figure, catnap had stitches and his tail looks trimmed to the point it looks very skinny, but now he also notice his whole body was trimmed to the point he wasn’t furry anymore, usually cats need fur to keep themself warm but catnap was feeling cold.

“Tell me, catnap”.

“I-I can’t. I can’t”. He repeated those two words as he kept crying.

Dogday held him tight in his arms, a small growl escape his mouth. He wasn’t gonna let this go unpunished.

“You allowed the doctor to file catnap claws?!”.

Throughout the household dogday and Bobby was arguing in the office as it caught attentions of the maids, as they silently eavesdrop on the office door.

“The doctor recommended it, it stop catnap didn’t it?”. Bobby sat on the sofa annoyed. “The doctor fixed the problem”.

“It just made it worse!”. Dogday glared. “Then u have him coned? That’s just unbelievable, you put catnap through embarrassment!”.

Bobby huffed as she rolled her eyes. “Look at him, he stop scratching himself and he can’t mess with his neck, his fur will grow back in no time”. Dogday couldn’t believe this, does she have no heart? He expected her to do the right thing, not this. “Speaking of fur, why trimmed catnap fur as well?”.

She shrugged.“Catnap fur was all matted up, so I took him to the salon and gave him a redo, now his fur can grow much better”. He shook his head. “Did he even agree to it?”.

“Ye-“. Dogday stopped her. “Without you forcing him?”. She glared and stood up. “You accuse me of forcing catnap to shave his fur off? He wanted it, I wouldn’t let him do that to his fur”.

“But your alright forcing him a cone, and files? Not to mention the stitches on his arm?”. He retorted as Bobby scoff as she pulled out her phone to go through it. “I said I would make him better, and I did. Now he won’t be able to harm himself more”.

As she typed away suddenly the phone was snatched away, she look up and huffed. “What’s your deal?”.

He placed the phone in his desk. “My deal? Is that you went behind my back and put catnap through stuff he didn’t wanna do. So now your banned to the guest room, you wont be allowed to access any cards as I will put a lock to it until his fur grow back, or you apologize”.

“This is unfair! You’re doing a lot for somebody who won’t help himself, I did my best to get him help, and yet I’m being punished”. Bobby bearhug yelled as she stood right infront of dogday.

He didn’t budge as he shook his head. “This conversation is over”.

As he started to walk away the maids behind the door quickly ran away downstairs to proceed their jobs, he sighed exiting his room and left to the wine room, where he always go to calm down.

“Mr. Dogday?”. One of the maids spoke. He look back and see the maid looking at him, she was young and he helped her off the streets, he watched as she fiddled with her fingers as her tail swish.

“I know we’re not allowed to be in here but what’s gonna happen to catnap?”. She spoke softly as he smiled. “Nothings gonna happen to catnap, he is still gonna remain in this home”.

She look down as she didn’t know what to say next, he was a good observer as he looks at her face containing emotions. “I can tell something is on your mind”.

“I….i was there when catnap got coned and the doctor filed catnap nails…he was crying, I got so scared and ran off”.

“I wanted to help him but I couldn’t”.

Tears build up in her eyes as she stared down at the floor, she didn’t wanna risk losing her job and obeyed Bobby command to bring him to the car and inside the doctors but couldn’t do it once they were gonna do the rest.

A hand slowly rest on her head as she look up to see dogday smiling. “It’s not your fault, I shouldn’t had let catnap alone with her from the beginning. You had to oblige for the sake of your job right?”. She nodded. “Then it’s not your fault”.

“Is catnap…mad at me?”.

He shook his head. “He is the sweetest guy on earth, he don’t hold grudges or blame others for something that wasn’t in fault”. He patted the seat next to him, she sat down as they enjoyed the silence together.

“The maids…..think catnap is cute”. She started as dogday chuckled. “They wanted to know if he is taken…..”.

“He isn’t actually, but they would have to wait till he gets back on his feet”. He sipped his drink as he can imagine what the maids been talking about.

“Is the cone gonna be on catnap?”.

He shook his head as he go through his phone. “Get the maids to chop off that thing, it’s irritating to see that”.

She nodded and hop off the seat, before she left dogday patted her head as she wagged her tail, it felt nice.

The maids corner catnap as they held scissors to take off the cone, but he refused anybody to come near him. “Come on catnap, we are just gonna take off the cone”.

One of the maids slowly started walking toward but he started to swat at her, even though he have no nails but he can always hit back.

“Please catnap”. The small maid brought her hands together. “Let us get it off”.

“Leave me alone!”. He hissed backing into the corner of the wall, Tears threaten to leave his eyes.

“Catnap do u wanna be in that cone forever?”. The maid spoke as he turned to look at her, his reaction say no.

“Go away, I don’t want nobody near me”. He shouted out as he tried to find a way to leave.

All the maids sigh in defeat, they don’t wanna hurt or scare him. “Maybe we can try later”.

“Catnap, I’m sorry”.

The maids turned to look at the young maid as she came closer. “I watch the doctors do you wrong…and I didn’t help stop it”.

They couldn’t exactly see catnap reaction behind the cone, but it made him stop moving.

“I wanted to step in and help….but I was too afraid, Bobby would had took my job away if I didn’t…..now I will have to live with the guilt forever”. She spoke as she slowly came by catnap, he tried to move back but there was no space.

“Would you….let me help you? This one time?”. She slowly placed her hands on the cone as soft sobs came from catnap.

Those damn doctors had him pinned down as he scratch and bite trying to go, but it didn’t work. Why was the whole world trying to attack him?.

No resistance came from catnap anymore as the maids took that as a sign to come closer to hold the cone and start snipping it. Once removed they finally see the face of the tearful cat, she wiped his eyes as she pull him into a hug. “You did so well, thank you”.

He slowly stop and look at her, a praise….since when did he ever been praised?. His tail slowly swish as he didn’t know how to feel.

“Now…..let’s get you into clothes Mr.dogday pick out for you, he knows you said you don’t want any but he wants u to feel comfortable”. She smiled as the maids agree in unison.

Dogday tap away on his phone getting spamming text messages from Kickin wanting to meet catnap, he was a hot head that’s for sure but ever since the incident he postponed the gathering they planned. A door opened as catnap walked down the stairs as he observed the wine room, too much liquor in his taste.

He look up and smiled at catnap. “The outfit look good on you kitty, I see they got the cone off your neck, now you can show everyone how beautiful you are”.

Catnap paused and blushed. No…it’s just a nickname, nothing more. “My….fur….”

Dogday went up to him and place his hand on his shoulder. “I know and that’s my fault, for now I’m not letting you out my sight. Your fur will grow back but it will take time”.

His ears recoiled back as he fiddle with his fingers again, ever since his nails almost non-existent all he been doing is playing with his fingers.

“I……why, why are you so nice to me?”. Catnap spoke with curiosity. “All I did was hurt you….”.

“No kitty, you never hurted me”. He pulled him into a hug as catnap froze into his chest. “The past is in the past, sometimes we have to let it go in order to recover”. He slowly shut his eyes as he hug dogday back. Recover…..that one word he never expected to hear in his life time.

“Now, let’s get something to drink. Are u a liquor fan?”. Catnap stared at him, it was pretty obvious that he wasn’t as dogday chuckled in embarrassment. “Right….”

“I can make a fruit punch, not to heavy of course”.

Catnap slowly sat on the chair and smiled for the first time. “…yeah, I’ll take that”.

After a few drinks catnap chuckled low at dogday stories, he was mentioning how he snuck in places with kickin. “We almost got caught but didn’t. Kickin had the worst influence on me, now he drive race cars”.

“Race..cars?”. Catnap look confused at him, as dogday forgot he wasn’t there for all the events that happened. “Oh right, everyone have their own things. Picky is a farmer, bubba scientist, crafty art gallery, hoppy a gym owner and married to Kickin”.

His ears perk up, he never expect them to get married. “Oh…I guess everything happened…so fast”. He sighed, he couldn’t believe he wasn’t there for all of that.

Dogday refilled catnap cup. “Hey, it’s never too late. Crafty is having an art gallery show tonight, then later kickin race tournament. If you want, we can go”.

He look up at him and was about to agree but stopped, he just remembered about his fur situation. “….i can’t, my fur is so bare”.

“Hey, it’s nothing to be ashamed of, they are your friends, they won’t make fun of your fur”. Dogday reassure him as he rub catnap hand, he felt calm due to his hand rubs.

The memory of them together at school formed in catnap head as they both were sitting together under the bench, dogday was laying down between catnap legs as they both held hands. He rubbed his hands as catnap purred allowed his hand to be smoothly rubbed. Catnap slowly lick dogday head as a way of affection, dogday wagged his tail as he takes in catnap love.

“Hey”.

Catnap opened his eyes and realized that he was very close to dogday face, out of embarrassment he quickly pulled away and turned around.

“I’m….im sorry, I wasn’t thinking”.

A hand came up to catnap ears and started scratching from behind, he knew where his soft spot was at so he started to purr.

“You were thinking….what was it about?”.

Catnap didn’t respond but kept purring, it was nothing….just the past.

Time fly by as it was almost dark, dogday check the time and realized the opening was in a hour. “I have a few suits that is in your size. If we get ready now we can go to the art gallery early”. Dogday opened the door but realized catnap didn’t moved, all catnap did was pointed at his empty patch fur, right…he forgot about that.

“Maybe one of the maids can put make up over it, or we can cover it up with something”. He took catnap hand and brought him to his room. Catnap stared at everything around, fancy things and jewelry..from Bobby side was everywhere.

Dogday handed him a suit, with a purple tie. “I think you would look great in this”.

He stared at the suit till a knock came at the door, a maid came in with a box of make up to cover up catnap face.

“Now….lets get ready”.

Originally I wanted this fanfic to be a slight bit dark however I was afraid since not many people would like it but I wanted to see if I should do it before continuing into catnap past

Chapter Text

love it or nah?

Chapter Text

The car ride was silent, all catnap heard was other cars driving by or the air conditioner blowing in his direction. He observed the car as he never been in a very fancy one before, slowly he smooth his hands against the seating and follow the pattern trail with his finger.

Once in the city all lights blurred against the car as it started to flash, catnap eyes look over and see how buildings had big neon lights to attract customers in, he don’t remember seeing these buildings before, It had been a long time now.

“Hungry?”

He jump hearing dogday voice as he look back at him, he was confused on why he said that, a small mrp came from him to question him.

Dogday ears went up as he kept driving, he look over at him real quick and smiled. “Your stomach was growling, I’ll take it that u seen the fast food restaurants when you were gazing out the window?”.

A small blush spread from catnap, he didn’t realized he was hungry just by staring out the windows, honestly he was just surprised to see new buildings not because he was hungry. “I…didn’t realized”.

He slowly wrap himself with his tail, it was cold, he wasn’t used to losing this much fur and have to get used to it. A poor stray like him in the presence of his rich best friend wasn’t on his agenda, it all felt so fast to be put in this suit, he sighed and look out he started to notice the car was going slow. He look at dogday for an explanation but all he received a calm face expression.

“Let’s get some tacos, I know the best place”. He hummed as catnap stared at him, he wasn’t gonna let his friend go hungry, knowing how catnap is still down, maybe a treat will make him happy. “Besides, it’s Tuesday”.

Once in the restaurant it was crowded due to the day as catnap hid behind dogday wanting to be excluded from the crowd then he tug his shoulder. “It’s too crowded”. He let out a soft whine.

Dogday held him close. “Don’t worry, I know a private spot for us”.

A women came out holding 4 plates of tacos in one hand and 4 beers in the others, she was beautifully big and had a happy smile as her tail wrap around wrapped utensils, her make up brought out her cheeks and eyes as she was some sort of model in a face cover magazine. She look over and see dogday and squeal. “Senor day, is that you?”.

“In the flesh”. Dogday joke around as she gave him a kiss on each cheek, she made a follow motion as she left to give the customers their food.

“Ay, it’s been a while since you were last here. I thought you almost forgot about us”.

He laugh as he scratched his ear. “I never forget the most amazing restaurant in the city, what type of person would I be if I abandon the place with the most beautiful women in it?”.

“A stupid one”. She pointed at him but realized somebody was behind him, she look behind and see a purple Tom hiding in shyness. A loud gasp escape from her as she pulled him out with his hands. “Who is this handsome man?”. Catnap look down embarrassed.

“That is my best friend, catnap”. He place his hand over catnap shoulder. “He never tried your tacos before, and today was the right day. We want our own private booth as well”.

She clap her hands together. “Si si, come with me I’ll make sure to bring him our best food. Almost I forgot to mention, my name is Elena but I go by miss diva as my stage name”. She sends a wink toward him as catnap hand was being pulled.

After a moment in the private booth away from everyone, catnap ears were still down from anxiety, he stared at all the platters infront of him while dogday is already eating. Mix emotions filled catnap, he didn’t want dogday to spend so much money on him, it was always like that back then but now he didn’t wanna feel greedy, that’s why he never spoke how he was hungry or needed clothes.

Dogday sighed in amazement once he finished his tacos, they were the best. “You’re missing out, these tacos are the best. You gotta try them”.

He stared down at the plate before looking up at dogday, as his face smiled towards him slowly he felt his heart beat. “O-okay”. He grab a taco from the plate with hesitation and took a bite out of it hearing the soft crunch. It was like magic exploded in his mouth tasting the meat and cheese mix with lettuce and sour cream all combined, soft purrs let out of his mouth as he finish and aimed for another one.

Catnap kept eating one after another not wanting to stop, crumbs filled his cheek but it didn’t bother him, but he was very caution so it wouldn’t get on his suit. Upon opening his eyes he notice dogday watching him for his entertainment as he blushed hard and wrap his face with his tail earning laughter from him.

He laughed at catnap reaction, it was too cute watching his buddy stuff his face with tacos like it was top tier, which it was. He sat next to catnap as he let out small groans of embarrassment.

“It’s good isn’t it? She makes the meanest tacos ever”. He held up a wrap burrito. “Try this one, filled with corn chips this time”. He watch catnap slowly reveal his face by retracting his tail as he took the burrito and start munching on it slowly.

Music slowly played from the main hallway as they sat in silence once again, Catnap enjoyed all this but he is gonna have to leave once the 3 days are over.

“Why….do Bobby hate me?”.

Dogday look over at catnap holding a sad expression. “I…never did anything to her….and I lost my fur that day”. Catnap tears fell down as he kept eating, dogday pulled him over and nuzzle into his neck as he closed his eyes taking his scent. “I have no idea….this isn’t like her. I’d make sure she stay away from you till she apologized”. Catnap stopped eating once his cold nose press against his neck, it was calming, a warm feeling as he felt his snout as well.

His tail slowly wrap dogday arms as he lean into dogday face now, it was a peaceful moment for them now. “You know….the maids think you’re cute”.

Catnap look down, he knew already. The maids each comfort him in their own style, but he can sense they liked him.

“They would be sad if you leave”. Dogday muttered as he sighed in catnap neck.

He slowly rubbed dogday head. “I…know”.

After the dinner was over they head towards the art gallery where a line was formed, catnap wash his face before leaving and no mess got on their suits so it was a win win.

The art gallery just gotten a big sign with a famous artist, so everything was going big for crafty. Using dogday secret v.i.p pass they quickly went in and look at all the paintings that filled the area, it was big, bright and very colorful. Catnap walk more and stared at each painting, ones had meanings while the others…just had splats, he never understood the painting industry.

Dogday walk to the main room where crafty was at and notice how a large area had a curtain over it, that must be the painting that got everyone excited.

“Dogday!”. Crafty ran and hug him as he returned the hug. “It’s been a busy time, we have catering, the press is all over, people in line waiting to see. It’s all so busy for the first time!”

“That’s what happen when you make it big, congratulations craftycorn”. He smiled using her full name to be professional.

Crafty smiled and place her hooves on her cheeks wearing a blush. “Dogday your my friend, you can always use the short term “crafty” it’s fine”. He wink at her. “Trying to be professional here, it’s your day”. Soft squeals escape her mouth as she poke her hooves together.

“C…crafty?”. Catnap slowly spoke as he entered the room, this caught her attention as she look up and recognized him, it was catnap! He looks way different. “Catnap!? It’s really you!”. She ran into his arms as catnap tail froze up as crafty let out a few sobs. “It’s been years! Why did you leave us”. She hug him tight. “I missed you so bad, we all did! Everyday I waited for your return, you just disappeared out of thin air”. Catnap slowly hug the ranting unicorn as she sobs, she was his comforting buddy back then, now he was comforting her”.

A few minutes go by as crafty finally stop crying and wipe her face, it was truly a blessing for her for this night. Dogday slowly came by crafty and took her hand. “You have a show to put on, go make us proud”. She blushed and nodded quickly. “O-oh right!”.

She stood up right and breath. “Right, now let’s open the doors”.

Once the doors been opened a crowd immediately came in including the press as some people gathered to wait patiently for the reveal, and the others walked around to pass time and enjoying the food that was being served.

Catnap softly purred as he ate the finger sandwiches with a cup of tea, after eating a big meal something small will treat him right.

Back home bobby growled while eating her chips, she was having her own private session of a spa time as the people massage and did her nails. She couldn’t believe what that mutt pulled on her, She was being punished for keeping her word! After everything she did for him this how she gets repayed?!.

She flickers through the tv trying to watch something to keep her entertained as she snap her fingers. “More wine”.

A maid nodded and ran to the pantry where they keep the wine. “This is ridiculous, my friends are having their time of their life and I’m stuck here meeting the bare minimum of my happiness”.

As the maid came back she slowly poured the wine in the glass cup as she watch how the intriguing wine emerged with rest, it was like red velvet dancing together.

She look at her phone looking through people stories and lives trying to see where they were at, suddenly a message came on her phone and she look.

“I see your man on the 417 news~”.

What was her friend talking about? Bobby scroll through the tv and found the channel but it was about an art exhibit, she didn’t see dogday? After the lady finish speaking it resume to the press recording the crowd as it went towards crafty as she was speaking with the very known artist.

She must had gotten confused with somebody else.

As soon she was about to switch suddenly the pair was seen, it was dogday!. She look closer and see he was with catnap as they both smiled and laughing with each other. She slowly grip the remote and threw it hard against the wall making it shatter into pieces earning the salon people jumping in fear. Why was he with that deranged nuisance! That should be her by his side! You give that dog all the love but suddenly when his ex starts waltzing in and now you’re forgotten!

She takes a deep breath and smiled, slowly she push her head fur back as they start resuming her treatment, dont worry, she will “definitely” apologized

On the car ride home catnap couldn’t stop purring from the fun he had today, dogday tail wag from seeing how catnap adored the painting. “How was your day?”.

A small meow came from catnap as he smiled happily for the first time. “Fun”.

He hummed as he kept driving, the lights come and go in his eyes as they hit the windshield. It was a true moment for them, he didn’t know what catnap endured through his life but he would do anything to make him happy. Something shiny came in his view as the moon was fully out, it was the beach, the waves glistening as they combust with each other then suddenly he had an idea.

Catnap watch as the car took them off the road and on to a different route. “What are you doing?”. He didn’t respond as he kept driving, he started to drive till he hit the sand and pull up on the beach. Catnap look around as dogday left the car then he started to follow.

“What are we doing here?”. Catnap look scared as if it was illegal to come during night times, suddenly he blush seeing what dogday was doing.

“I was thinking of something”. Dogday slowly removed his tuxedo as his bare chest was revealed along with his boxers, he was definitely working out as his muscles appeared. “Why don’t we end the day on the beach?”

Catnap look away flustered.”I-I’m sorry but you know how I feel about water?”. His hand was grabbed as he was being pulled towards the water line. “Just be right here….you ain’t gotta go in”. Catnap sighed and agreed, he didn’t mind water hitting his feet.

He slowly removed his tuxedo as well but only left the shirt and boxers on, he stared at his scrawny figure in the water. Dogday quickly jump in the water away from catnap as he started to swim, his fur was all wet making him look very skinny.

Catnap chuckled while staring at dogday having fun, he hummed at the feeling of the water, it was very chill.

“Hey”.

He look down and see dogday standing infront of him, he tilt his head in confusion as dogday kept smiling as he wag his tail.

“Hmm?”.

Suddenly dogday rose his hands up. “Want a hug, catnap?”. His very shorten fur stood up as he watch the dog dripping with water, he quickly shook his head till dogday was getting dangerously close, then the pursuit happened.

Catnap ran away while dogday on his tail, laughter came from dogday as he kept getting closer. He shrieks in fear as he tried to keep running.

He kept running a mile now and then suddenly pain started to feel his legs, he panted but was caught off guard from dogday tackle. “Gotcha!”

Mixture of shrieks and laughter was heard as they both rolled on the sand together, catnap groan in disbelief as dogday hugged him tight, as the wet water also got on him.

“Dogday why would you do this to me?”. He whined as dogday patted his head. “For the fun of a good chase”. He pants while his tongue sticks out.

He was underneath dogday as he felt dogday fur brush against his stomach, the more touch he felt from dogday the more ragged his breath became. Dogday stopped laughing as he look down at catnap and stared into his eyes, he look so…delicate.

They both stared at each other as their bodies slowly began to press hard as catnap slowly look away blushing, many emotions went through their bodies but didn’t know what to do.

Slowly his hand carcasses catnap cheek, he never thought of seeing his buddy looking so cute under him, just the thought made his fur heat up. Catnap look up and see how dogday hand was holding his cheek as now his breath was slowly being heard, this intense feeling made dogday tail wagged.

He watch his face come close to his own, then suddenly their lips was right next to each other, slightly brushing one to another.

“W…..we can’t”. A tear fell from catnap eyes, he slowly held dogday hands.

“You’re about to get married”.

Dogday slowly grip his catnap’s into his own hand as he stared into catnap eyes. He was right….why is he doing this?. He was gonna get married to Bobby…but he couldn’t bare to see his past being let go again.

“I know”. Suddenly dogday press his lips against catnap’s own earning a fateful kiss as they both grip each other hands not wanting to let go of each other.

Chapter Text

The second day came as catnap lean up once the sun got into his eyes, he stretch up his arms as his feet touch the cold floors, he can’t recall the memory from last night.

Outside his door he can hear the sounds of the maids going through the house for their morning chores, he hummed and walk to the closet and put on a fresh batch of new clothes. He look to the side and see the ruined tuxedo then suddenly flashbacks hit his mind.

The kiss!

He hid his eyes behind his hands in embarrassment as his tail wrap around his legs, he kissed his ex. How could he?

Wasn’t he married?

What would Bobby think about this?

No it was a honest mistake, dogday don’t truly love him.

A knock came at the door as he look at it hoping it was a maid but to his terror a red bear came in. “Hello catnap, I brought you breakfast”.

Catnap started to hyperventilate as he scrambled toward the bed to hide under it but Bobby quickly got in his way. “Wait!” She placed the tray on the bed as she stayed still making sure he can’t get access under the bed. He started to dash towards the closet but she got in his way again. “L-let me explain”.

A hiss came from him as he started to back up, he was defenseless, all because of her.

She sigh and slowly pick up his hands. “I’m…sorry”.

He squinted his eyes as he started to back away, she was sorry? After all she put him through that’s all she had to say?.

“Leave”.

She look up at him all worried and put her hands up. “Look I’m came to apologize and…..take you out for a good time, I spoke to dogday and he agreed to lend me the cards to do so”.

Catnap started to let out a yearning sound. “You…..took away my dignity….What’s last of it. Why would I ever forgive you?”. Bobby held pleading eyes and held her hands together. “Because the guilt would eat me alive if I don’t make it up to you. I…I was jealous, and it got the best of me. I didn’t know what I was thinking”.

He was taken back, jealous? Of him? How can somebody rich and clean as her be jealous of him who was poor and dirty?. “That doesn’t ex-“.

“I know, it don’t excuse my actions. After speaking with my good friends…I realized I was in the wrong, and now I want to fix that”. Bobby slowly pick up the tray and walk towards catnap. “If you allow me”.

Catnap slowly look around hoping anything would ease his mind, he was very forgiving but what she did was unforgivable. She is dogday fiancé and all but would he be upset if he didn’t forgive her? Bobby is doing anything to fix it and if she mess up she would definitely be on dogday bad side, so what’s the harm?.

He slowly took the tray with hesitation. “O-okay”.

She squeals and hug catnap hard almost tripping in the process. “After today, I’ll make sure you’re gonna love your second day of living here”. She let go and left. “I’ll be downstairs once you’re ready to go”.

After that she left leaving catnap in his trance of mix emotions, half of his side is begging not to go as the other half is saying to forgive her but all he did was stare at his plate of food. The French toast with freshly garnish cinnamon hit his nose as he took it in feeling hungry now.

Bobby spoke to dogday as she sat in the chair arranged in front of his desk. “Still upset at me?”. He sighed as he typed away. “Not upset….just disappointed”. She took one of his hands and slowly intertwined her fingers around his. “Look I apologize and I’m taking him out for activities, he have a forgiving heart”.

Dogday look at her and slowly sighed. “You better hope he forgives you, that was low of you”.

She nodded and start kissing his hand all the way to his neck. “I promise darling, after this we’re gonna be best friends again”. Dogday closed his eyes as he allowed Bobby to do her thing on his neck, his tail wagged hoping today went well.

“Just….be on your best behavior, I trust you on that”. He look at Bobby as she chuckled. “I know you do~”. She started to kiss up against him and to his chest, he slowly enjoyed taking in the attention she was giving then out of nowhere his zipper flew down. “W-wait”. Bobby look up confused as he pulled her up. “I have a busy day today and you should be on your way”. Dogday kiss her as he grab the files. “If you can be on your best behavior, you would get rewarded, how about it?”. He kiss her once more then left.

Bobby watch him leave as she smirked. “I promise my love, I promise”.

Once in the car Bobby watch catnap sit farther away in the seat as she sighed. “You have a favorite song?”. She look at him for a response but none came from him. “Okay….favorite food?”. No luck again.

“Where are you taking me?”. He spoke while looking away. “Ah ah ah, it’s a surprise. Wouldn’t want to ruin the day knowing the surprise would you?”. She smiled as he stared at her not knowing what to say, it would be nice to know since the incident last time.

“No”

She smiled as they pulled to the Main Street, catnap watch as people walk around outside of luxurious shops and he can see the beach where last night event happen, so many people were on there now.

He closed his eyes hoping to ease his mind but suddenly the car stop, he look around to see the area and he look up and see it was a spa, but a nice one. He slowly got out and follow Bobby from behind, upon entering he watch there was two lines formed either who had appointments or the v.i.p lounge and watching her speak to the assistant he ventured off to look at the model pictures. The scent of fresh flowers eased his mind as he look at the prices for sessions, wow these were dangerously expensive.

“Catnap”. Bobby waved over as two women waited for them to enter.

Once enter catnap removed his clothing and replace it with a robe, he was moved to the massage session as they place a cold gel around his face, wearing facial products wasn't his familiar doing.

A sigh came from Bobby as they massage her back, she watch over and see the nervous catnap get his body massage as they place cucumbers on him. He let out soft purrs as they relax him, the lady seem to press on his hands to file his nails but none was coming out so nail filing is off the list.

“Try the lemon water, smooths your throat”. The lady held the glass as catnap nodded accepting the water and slowly drink it, it was bitter yet pleasant.

“Wait till you feel the mud bath”. Bobby sighed as she watch the lady filed the nails, she felt her back being rubbed with lotion enjoying the sensation.

During the mud bath catnap was skeptical but it wasn’t exactly wet nor too mushy, slowly he push his feet in then next his whole body as it press against his fur as he laid down. It was warm as the towel wrap around his neck, he look around the room and sighed, its true he enjoyed this time, in all honestly he wished for a very long time of being spoiled but never in this way, he longed for somebody he love to spoil him, not to be spoiled out of guilt.

“Hey are you okay?” A childish voice entered his head.

Catnap closed his eyes as he sleep.

A very young catnap was curled up under the bench as he look up at a very bright wagging dog, his orange fur shined as he smiled while holding his hand out.

The purple kitten was stepical as he back away more in the dark area.

“Don’t be scared, my name is uhh, dogday! My parents brought me here for a picnic! If you want we can share a peanut butter and jelly sandwich”. He smiled as catnap eyes shined towards him, the little pup was fascinated how cats eyes be glowing in darkness. “Wow…X-ray visions”.

Catnap slowly came out as he wore a very rip up shirt and pants including dirty shoes as his fur was matted up. “They…aren’t x-ray visions”. His voice sounded very squeaky.

“Whatever they are, they are so colorful to see during the dark”. Dogday hop around in joy as his mother shouted for him. “My mom is calling me! Come on”.

After a while the mom stood around looking for dogday until the little pup came running into her arms as he wagged, she laugh and pick him up. “Time to eat my little sunshine”.

“I made a friend!”. He bark happily, the mom smiled. “Oh who is your friend?”.

Dogday look around and notice he isn’t near. “Oh…he is shy mom, he is very colorful though! He is purple!”

“Purple was always my favorite color little one”. She chuckled as dogday jump down and went behind the benches, she waited till suddenly a small figure came along with dogday holding his hand.

“Look ma, he is right here”.

Worried filled her heart as she look at the rotten clothing kitten, she watch him come closer in a hesitant manner as she bend down to him. “Hello, what’s your name little one?”.

He didn’t respond and he hid more behind dogday, his tail wrap around his own leg showing he was afraid. “I’m dogday mother, I packed a lot of food if you want to join”. She reach out her hand and slowly took catnaps hand into her own, dogday look back at catnap for assurance as he came closer to her.

“I’m….cat..nap”. His voice was very low when he spoke as she pick him up in his arms, looking at the mother she resembled very much as dogday but without the spot and was very fluffy.

“Well catnap, where are your parents?”.

“…..yelling…”. He slowly rest his face between her arms.

“An argument”. she thought in her head as she walk back to the bench. “Well let’s get you all filled up before going back home? How do that sound?”.

Catnap look at the plates as he sat next to dogday refusing to leave his side, he was handed a sandwich.

“We are best friends till this day!”.

“Catnap”

The memory started to blur.

“Catnap”. There is that voice again.

“Mr catnap!”. The voice shouted louder this time.

His eyes shut opened as he look at the male staff holding a robe, oh it’s time for the next session.

After the day was turning night Bobby decided to end it with having smoothies at the bar, catnap gotten a Virgin Mary due to not being a heavy drinker, he watch as Bobby chatted away with a few guys as he sip a few drops, slowly he removed himself to go to the men restroom.

He washed his hands as he notice the make up was off of his face, everyone had seen it and didn’t realized, quickly using bandaids to cover up the patches as a loud sound came from the door as it been shut. He look back in fear and realized the similar chicken he was friends with.

“Ki-Kicken?”. He observed his friend outfit, it was a racer gear just like dogday said.

“Catnap! How have you been!”. Kicken pulled him into a tight hug. “Dogday mention you were back but we couldn’t visit, he wanted you to have some space”.

He hug back and purred against his friend chest. “You…you’re a racer? It was your dream in middle school”. Kicken chuckled and look up pridefully. “And that dream came true, won 7 races and now I just finish practicing for my new race coming up”.

“Enough about me, tell me where have you been! Years gone by and we all experienced our own each event!”. Kicken nudge catnap arm with his fist but catnap look down. “I’m sorry….i can’t, it’s…not the best time right now”. Kicken slowly let go of catnap. “Geez buddy, whatever you been through, it sound like hell.

Because it was.

“Well, I’m here with my hoppy, my now wife. She would be great excited to see you”. Kicken chuckled as he moved to the side for catnap to exit. “I’ll meet you outside buddy”.

Once catnap left the restroom he met up with hoppy as they both exchange hugs and made conversation waiting for Kicken to come out.

“I see dogday treated you right, what’s with the bandaids tho?” Hoppy pointed at his face. Catnap lied and mention how he got scratch by a fence. “Oh well since your here I beckon that Kickin told you about his next upcoming race?”. He nodded and hoppy went on. “Here, v.i.p tickets to watch”. She passed him two tickets as he smiled rubbing his face against hers as she patted his back. “Aw you’re welcome buddy”.

Catnap placed the tickets in his chest pockets as Bobby came by the booth. “Oh look at yall! I didn’t know you were here hoppy”. Hoppy sighed at the sight of Bobby but put on a face since it was celebration of course for kickin. “Ah yes, we just catching up and here for Kickin upcoming tournaments”.

Kickin came by the table as he was annoyed by the sight of Bobby as he came up next to catnap. “Oh hello”. She look at Kickin and smile.“Congratulations, when is your upcoming tournament?”. He was about to groan till he notice hoppy face not wanting to ruin the moment. “It’s in 3 days”.

“Great! Me and dogday will be there”. Bobby slowly took catnap hand. “We gotta bounce now, see yall till then”. Catnap followed earning a wave from the two as he waved back.

Once at home he sighed and took off the bandaids, Bobby left to go to the master’s room as catnap sort of did his own thing. He took off his clothing till he notice small laughter coming from the wine room, he press his ear against it and hear multiple voices, he walk down the room and notice all the maids were there having a drink.

One of the maids notice catnap and start giggling. “Where have you been handsome?”

All the maids smile or waved at catnap as they motion him to come sit with them.

“We were just talking about how Bobby a bitch”. One maid started, all the other maids agree. “One time she broke a vase on accident and blame it on me, she told dogday to take it out of my pay but thankfully he didn’t due to his kind heart”.

“She walked through the flower patch while on her phone unaware and it was a business bbq outside so I had to run to the store to get new flowers, it took 15 minutes to quickly get that done!”. One maid whined.

“She and her friends always goes on trips to hook up with other dudes, a bunch of rats if you tell me”.

Catnap was listening to all this information all by one, when did Bobby became like this? Why wasn’t dogday even aware by anything of this?.

“I mean if you ask me ever since catnap came by, Bobby been looking at competition”. She wiggled her eyebrow as all the maids started wooing at catnap. He blushed and held his face. “I-I ain’t no competition”.

The little maid nodded. “Yes you are, you’re handsome and sweet while she is rude!”.

“I mean the only reason dogday is marrying that broad is because he felt like he owes her, I don’t know why but somebody mention about leaving him out in cold air”. The maid took a sip as catnap slowly peek intrest in what she was saying.

“I heard somebody just use him and left him all alone so that’s why Bobby comfort him”.

Catnap blood went cold as his heart hyperventilated, his hands slowly grip the glass wine. He didn’t leave him…he didn’t! I-it was a honest mistake!.

“Yeah, Bobby probably seen the opportunity of his dad owning a business and jump to it”.

All the girls laugh as sweat slowly fell down catnap head, suddenly he felt the hand of the maid that convince him of getting out of the cone. “Are you okay?”

He sighed and nodded slowly touching her hand. “Yeah…just yeah”.

Suddenly a wine been slammed down infront of catnap. “You look like you need to get rid of memories! Here have the best wine, it’s called the firework as a nickname, when you’re so drunk it feels like fireworks is popping in your throat”.

All the girls chanted for catnap but he shook his head.”w-we ain’t even supposed to be together in here….besides I’m not a heavy drinker”.

“Come on catnap, just one drink”. The maid cheered him on. They started to chant one drink in repeat till catnap sighed and nodded. “A-alright one drink”. They all cheered as they pour him a glass, once he drank it he started to gag as the girls laugh. “You’ll get used to it”. Hopefully not, but another glass been poured. “One more”.

In the masters bedroom Bobby is kissing up on dogday as he slowly rubbed her back, she chuckled and attack for his neck to give hickeys. “You see…I told you he was gonna be happy”. Dogday hummed and lick her collarbone. “Good job, you earned it”.

She cooed as her hands flew down dogday lap, slowly unzipping dogday pants as his swollen cock came out, it was red and very big. She slowly licks the bottom and make her way up to the base earning soft moans from him. She hummed and slowly takes all of his cock into her mouth till she reach his end lines as a gag came from dogday, she enjoyed watching him squirm. He slowly placed his hand on her head to keep her still as she did her job, she went on faster as he began to shake, his tail kept wagging as he started to hump back in her mouth.

Bobby slowly squeeze his cock until he shoots out lines of sperm down her throat as she pulled away and cough. Dogday look back at his pulsing cock as he slowly pulled her up and on the bed, Bobby wiped down her face as dogday kissed her tasting the bitterness that came from him, he spreaded her legs slowly as he unhook her bra. Bobby wrap her arms around his torso as he began to rub against her clit. “Come on puppy~ ruin me”

All the maids were laughing as catnap was abit drunk, she was right, it felt like fireworks going off in his throat. He purred when the maids started to scratch his chin and forehead, slowly he felt kisses all over his face, it felt like heaven.

“Come on guys, leave him for the master~”. She laugh as all the girls pulled away.

“I’m sorry he is so adorable”

“And delicious”.

Catnap blushed hard as he hiccuped, his head felt dizzy but he didn’t have the energy to back away from their touches.

A maid came running down. “The master is getting laid again~”

All the maids gasp and stop drinking, quickly they all ran up towards the stairs as catnap didn’t process what she said, where was they running to?.

He stumble up the stairs and look up to see the maids running up the main stairs to the bedroom so he followed again, once up the stairs he dragged his feet towards them.

The maids had their heads on the door or looking through a small peephole nobody knew about.

“What are ya-“. Catnap froze when he heard sounds coming from the bedroom. “Shh, don’t say a word”. One of the maids warn.

He slowly look at the master bedrooms doors as moans came from behind, his heart slowly beated. “Come look”. A maid move so catnap can see. He came close and look through the peephole, he wished he never did that.

Dogday was on top of Bobby thrusting into her body as she moan and grip his back, his tongue was very hung low as Bobby had hickeys and her boobs were exposed.

“Wow I wonder how she get lucky tonight”. The maid whispered to another.

“Ahh I wish the master did that to me”. The maid fantasized as she received a slap on the head from the other maid. “The masters taken”.

As catnap watch what’s unfolding infront of him in the peephole tears fell down his eyes as he got up and ran away, All the maids shouted his name as they ran after him.

He kept running till he hit the cold grass, it was very dark but he didn’t care where he went. All the maids quickly chased him as he trip down and started to throw up. Tears and vomit mix against his face as he kept crying, why was he acting like this? He was very much aware what’s going on….was this jealousy?.

The maid was about to help catnap up, but all she received was a swatted paw as he got up and ran in the woods.

“Catnap don’t go!”.

He didn’t listen…he just wanted to leave, be left alone like the trash he is.

Chapter Text

“Oh my god what have we done”. The small maid freaked out as they were outside scanning for catnap the next day. “W-we shouldn’t had been spying!”.

“SHH!”. All the maids look back at her. “Don’t say it out loud”. One of the maids spoke. “We were all drunk, we weren’t thinking straight”. The cat maid spoke.

“Poor catnap”. The small maid wiped her tear. “It’s all our faults”. The maids sighed as they kept going deep in the forest.

Bobby watch from above the window chuckling, she knew all along that there was a peep hole and catnap would witness the bed play, it wasn’t secretive how they wonder in the wine room and get drunk once their done, but who cares? As long they obey her every command she wouldn’t have to use blackmail on them.

A kiss came to her neck from behind as dogday wrap his arms around her waist. “Everything okay?”. She nodded as she scratch his head. “Yeah they just outside looking for something one of them dropped”.

Dogday look outside and it was indeed the maids weren’t in the lawn as he can see them far away. “Oh I hope they find it soon”. Bobby kiss his cheek. “Probably never, it is a big forest out there”.

He sighed and back away. “Catnap isn’t here, I checked everywhere and no sign of him”. His face showed sadness. “It’s the beginning of the third day though”.

She pouted and cross her arms. “After everything we did for him? This is the second time he abandon you again, I swear everytime when you do something for catnap he ends up leaving with no thank you! And after everything we did together? Money wasted”. Dogday stared at him as he bit his lower lip, he refused to think catnap is like that, he may be poor but he wouldn’t do that. “I think it’s best if we let him go, you have a whole life ahead of you, don’t let the past bring you down”. She kiss his forehead as his tail drooped. “Yeah….ill see you at 7”.

Bobby smiled as he began to go to the front door. “Oh and dogday”. He look back at her. “I need to borrow a credit card for a trip, it’s a girls night”. Dogday paused and gave out a small sigh. “Alright”. He handed her his black card then began to leave with her waving goodbye.

The maids walk back home looking defeated as they watch dogday drive off, once inside they met Bobby giving them a sad sigh. “Catnap is gone, I thought he changed but I guess that happens when you give act of kindness”. The maids look guilty as they had worried expressions on their faces, it was their fault.

Suddenly a loud clap came from Bobby as they jolted up seeing that she had a happy expression. “Well then, go clean up our guest room! Make sure everything he touched or wore is put in the fire pit, deep sanitized that room as put newer bed sheets on”. The maids look in shock as they couldn’t believe what she was saying, they didn’t know she would be this cruel. “In a matter of fact throw the whole bed away we can always get new ones”. She kept talking as one of the maid started crying, the maid who made catnap drink that night slowly started to growl, out of nowhere she went up to Bobby face. “What’s wrong with you, you entitled gold- digger?!”.

All of the maids gasp but she wasn’t done. “All you do is been bitching and put on a two face everytime when you don’t get what you want but guess what, nobody here LIKES you! Ever since catnap came you been nothing but jealous cause we all know he will go back to him! You make me sick!”. She spatted as she and Bobby gave a deadly glare to each other.

“If I were you I would know my place, it’s not my fault y'all wanna be noisy and watch the little peephole in the master bedroom”. Bobby slightly growled as some maids began to be scared, she knew. “Without us, y'all all be nothing, if you ever speak back to me again, all of y’all would be homeless right now”. She began to walk away towards the door and open it but stop for a second. “Would be a shame if I make dogday fire you himself”. She glared at the maid who spoke back before closing the door, leaving them in a silent area.

The cat maid look down in shame, she needed this job, All of them did. They were all homeless till dogday gave them an opportunity, but having to imagine dogday finding out and firing them wasn’t the best thing in the world.

“Damn it”.

Kickin ate his huge breakfast as he and hoppy stop at a local diner before practice. “This is good”. He took once pick at the egg with a fork as he ate it, hoppy laughed at that. “Didn’t know you ate your own kind unborn kids”. He coughed at that. “Hey! If picky can eat meat, what’s the harm?”.

Hoppy sighed as she took a sip from her coffee, usually she gets a small meal and kickin get a huge meal for protein before working out.

“When is your next tennis tournament?”. Kickin spoke while chewing as hoppy squinted her eyes. “Don’t talk while chewing, it’s unsanitary”.

“Unsanitary?”. He chuckled and wink at her. “Last night was~ and you didn’t have a problem with it”.

She flinched her ears as she gave him a “keep talking and your sleeping on the couch” glare, kickin seen this and look away in fear. “Yes my love”.

Hoppy places on her earbuds as she look through her phone, making sure she wasn’t forgetting anything before starting her routine. After they ate the money was set on the table for the bill and tip as they both left, hoppy slowly opened the door as something far away catch her eye as she stared. “Are you alright?” Kickin ask before looking in the direction and it also captured his vision as well.

“What the?”.

Very far away catnap was running away from a man holding a butcher knife, he look angry as he kept running towards him. “Hoppy start driving”. He threw the keys at hoppy before starting to run to the streets. “Wait!” Hoppy panic as she quickly went to the driver side.

The pursuit went on as Kickin followed after them running through crowds and going block to block as they were fast. “Damn it”. He kept running till he bump into a lady resulting them falling down, the lady groan as she sat up, kickin quickly apologized and help her gather her things before running. “I’m sorry again”.

He look both ways and lost them, where are they?.

Looking around and no sign of catnap and that crazy butcher guy, hoppy pulled up next to him as she look as well. “You lost them?”.

Kickin started to rub his head fast. “It wasn’t my fault I bump into a lady!”. His voice grew in annoyance and concerned. “Imma just text dog-“ a loud voice stop him as he look up.

A certain loud voice came from the ally way as it wasn’t in English but very much a French accent, he quickly walk up and look around and see the butcher holding catnap against by the shirt as he had the butcher knife rise above him as if were gonna strike.

“TU OSES VOLER DANS MA BOUTIQUE, ESPÈCE DÉGUSTANT STRAY !? Je vais vous montrer ce que je fais aux voleurs !” The butcher man yelled at catnap as he held something tight in his arms.

“PUT HIM DOWN!”. Kickin yelled as he step toward the crazy man, the butcher look aside looking angry as if he had the shittest day eve. “MIND YOUR BUSINESS, IM TEACHING THIS SCOUNDREL WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU STEAL FROM MY SHOP!”.

He step towards pulling the guy away in a quick motion as he grip the guy hand. “Look, I don’t know what’s going through your mind but if you put the knife down and act very civil we can come up with a compromise!”.

The mad butcher stop growling as he snatch his hand back, catnap was about to run but quickly stopped once Kickin gripped his arm still facing toward the man. “What do you want?”.

“He stole a 3 pound of meat! It’s 9.50 each, I want money for the meat and money for wasting my precious work time of not attending to my actual paying customers”. He send catnap a glared as the purple feline duck down behind kickin back to avoid the angry man face. “Geez dude, whatever floats your boat”. Kickin open up his wallet as he gave the man what he wish for.

Once the man gotten his money he look towards kickin. “If he ever wanders or step foot in my shop, he will be on the menu”. He left huffing till the sight of him was gone.

Kickin look back looking at the guilty cat as he had tearful eyes coming down his cheek. “What’s wrong with you catnap, why are you stealing? If I wasn’t here you would be dead now”. Catnap started to sniffling as he clutch the meat against his chest. “I…I just wanna leave”.

“Why?”. Kickin look at his friend. “You just came back, what’s the problem?”.

Catnap ears stiffen down as he wipe his face with his arms. “I was never meant to be here in the first place, I just wanted a canned soup and to leave forever”. He stare at him confused as he place down his hand on his shoulder. “What do you mean?”.

After taking catnap back home they decided to cancel their plans for later as they sat around him in the living room hearing the story about how he met dogday. “After i failed to climb the gate dogday caught me, later Bobby came running out with a flash light and they both seen who I want. Dogday wanted me to stay there but i refused and tried many ways to leave his home….but he made a deal that i stay 3 days to see if i wanna continue living with him or to leave”. Hoppy sighed as she placed down a hand on catnap leg. “Well today is your third day, how come your not at the house?”.

“Yeah and why your stealing food?”. Kickin added. Catnap ears went down as tears flow down. “Ever since I stayed at the house Bobby done nothing but tried to get rid of me, she nearly declawed me and have my fur shaved to the point I could feel the coldness hitting me”. Kickin demeanor turned threatening as he hit the table. “I knew that bitch was bad! What the hell do dogday see in her! We all see Bobby true side besides him, why!?”.

“KICKIN”. Hoppy shouted and look back at catnap giving a worried face. “Do dogday know?”. He nodded. “He took away her cards and wouldn’t allow her to leave the house till she apologized”.

“That’s bullshit! Thats like a teenager punishment if you ask me, if I was him that bitch would had been kick to the curb!”. Kickin started to rant as hoppy rub catnap head. “What else?”.

“The next day dogday decided to treat me and take me to the art gallery to see craftycorn opening but first took me out to eat”. Catnap used his tail to smooth himself out on his arm. “Then…..”. He refused to speak more as he look down not wanting to speak any longer, Hoppy hugged him and smooth his back as Kickin finally shut up. “If you don’t wanna say anymore…that’s fine, you been through enough”.

“I want to but….i don’t wanna be judged”. Catnap hid his face in hoppy shoulder as she smiled. “Catnap…you’re our best friend….we missed you all those years ago, you’re finally back and now we want you to trust in us”.

“Yeah catnap, we all may had grown or changed but you still can count on us”. Kickin smiled as catnap blush secretly.

“After the art…..dogday took me to the beach at midnight and we had fun…till we kiss”.

Kickin patted his back hard. “That’s my man! Let dogday know who he first fell in love with”. Hoppy rolled her eyes at kickin antics as catnap groan in embarrassment.

“Don’t celebrate too early…” catnap put his head between his knees. “After we came home Bobby left upstairs with dogday, me and the maids were drinking till one of them came down and claim about something so I followed them and notice a peep hole that look inside the master bedroom….inside was dogday on top of Bobby”. He wiped his tears as kickin frowned hard and groan while rubbing his head. “Such a downer”.

“I kept running and running till my legs were burning….i can’t be in that house anymore, I wanna leave the city and never come back”. Catnap voice was cracking as he let out small sniffles.

“So….you stole food to last you the next day when you were about to leave the city”. Hoppy finally realized why the whole scenario occurred this morning. “Y-yeah”. Catnap agreed.

“Look….we don’t want you to go, if anything you can stay here till you finally be able to stand on your two feet”. Kickin patted his shoulder as hoppy agreed but he shook his head. “I don’t wanna be here….too much bad memories”.

“No….your staying here”. Kicking said firmly as hoppy ears perk up. “Kickin, we can’t force him to stay…”. He sighed and kiss hoppy head. “Give me some time with catnap, go to the gym I’ll stay here with him”.

“You sure?”. She look at him as he nodded. “I can make up time tomorrow but for now I need to stay with him”. Hoppy just nodded as she stood up to leave. “I’ll come back soon, don’t be stupid”.

Catnap watch her leave as he sigh, his eyes look up at Kickin as he sat next to him crossing his legs while eating a snicker bar, Kickin do express things differently.

“Why did you run away?”.

Catnap eyes widen as he stared at Kickin. “I…I….” He closed his eyes and didn’t speak more. “Was it because your parents died?”. Kickin watch catnap grip the couch with his hands but no nails came out. “……”

“Whatever happened, if you think it was your fault if you caused the fire…it’s not your fault”. Kickin smooth out his back as he let out small sobs.

“I-I didn’t wanna..I didn’t run away….but it was too late”.

Kickin wiped his tears.”what do you mean too late?”. He didn’t say a word as he opened them showing a mourning expression. “I….i can’t say, not now”.

He sighed and held catnap arms. “Look, we can’t change the past but we can however try to change the future. Dogday may be marrying that whore but YOU can change that”. Catnap suddenly look up at him with a less sad expression. “You love dogday, the kiss at the beach proved it!”. Catnap shook his head. “It was an accident”.

“No…y’all old selves came out still showing yall love each other. Dogday is gonna marry somebody who don’t see what we see, he believes he owe it to her because she help him recover but guess what, we all helped him recover and you don’t see us asking things from him in return! We all did it because we are friends, not that gold digger”. Catnap stared at him as he never heard this side of him before. “It’s my fault…he needed to recover”.

“No it’s not, whatever happens isn’t your fault”. Catnap look down and sighed. “I can’t….just tell dogday not to marry her…it’s wrong”.

“Well communicate with him, act like old lovers. If you can do that he might fall in love with you again”.

Catnap stare at him, was it wrong to do that to a ex lover who is gonna get married? He ain’t a home wrecked type as Kickin spoke, but is breaking them up for the right season good?.

“Look you still got those two tickets?”. Catnap nodded. “Good, use those for you and dogday, use the time to get close to each other again”.

He realized the race was in two days, there was still time to get ready and all but he couldn’t bare to see Bobby again, not after yesterday.

“Look, I’ll give dogday a call saying your gonna stay here for a while after the function you get to decided if your ready to go back or keep staying here”. Kicking popped a popcorn as he turned on the tv. “If you want….i can invite some people to hang with us if you want, they will be pleased to meet you after a long time”. He watch catnap slightly purred at the idea of seeing his old friends. “I’ll take that as a yes”.

After a while Kickin pulled out new clothing for catnap to change while he wash his used clothes. “If you’re overwhelmed you can step out the room for a moment”. Catnap suddenly gave him a huge hug as he place his face between his chest.

“Hey don’t get all sappy with me, Im a tough chicken”. He jumped as catnap hit him with his tail from behind. “Alright alright just this once buddy”.

Chapter Text

Catnap seem to be nervous, once gathered around his old time friends.

Ever since Kicken invited them, besides dogday and Bobby, they all been smothering catnap with hugs and bickering with questions. Bubba offered some medical advice to regain his fur quicker as well of making sure he eats well enough.

“Alright alright settle down children we all have our best friend back, and now it’s time to party”. Kickin pull up two wine bottles earning a question look from hoppy. “You brought them here just to drink wine?”.

He shrugged his shoulders. “It’s a celebration for catnap return”.

Catnap glance as his hands as they rub together in a shy state, he never liked wine but got the used to the taste of it due to the awful past. He watch as glass cups were being passed around till it was his turn to grab one, slowly he grabbed the cup as he stared at it.

“Come on”. A man push a wine glass to the young catnap face. “Have a sip”.

The young catnap shook his head as he held the plate tighter, he knew he have to entertain these guest or else but he can’t drink what taste so foul. “I’m sorry I can’t get drunk on the job”.

A hand seemed to grab catnap and place him on his lap as he watch the cup being put on his lip. “Come on I’m the customer, you do as I say”.

Catnap felt his tears build up as the foul taste ran down his throat as it gave him a burning sensation, in the back of his head he can feel the eyes of the madam.

“Catnap?”.

He blink his eyes as he focus on the real world now, he watch how everyone already had a filled glass cup and now Kickin held the wine ready to pour. “Something wrong?”.

Catnap shook his head as he slowly lean the cup to the wine bottle, he didn’t wanna bring down the life to the party so he was only sip a few.

Once the cup been poured everyone spoke to each other as he stared at them, he couldn’t help but feel upset at himself. Everyone had a good job and very well professional in their areas, they all had homes, food, their own cars, and everything they can buy…..meanwhile catnap just fight everyday for food and for shelter.

“So my project for the farm has been expanding and now I have writers doing an article about it!”. Picky happily said as she drank her wine. “That must feel great picky”. Bubba raised his glass nodding.

“What about you crafty? What happened after the collab?”. Picky look at crafty as she smiled. “Ever since the news, artists had been requesting their art to be put up, either beginners or well known artists. Now my shop been put on the spot for touring”.

“Well done crafty, cheers”. She clink her glass with crafty as everyone drank.

Kickin coughed loudly as sarcasm and now it was bubba turn. “Well then, how is my favorite scientist doing?”.

Bubba shook his head as he fixed his glasses. “Well my fellow golf cart racer, I help created new treatment for the outbreak of the flu in other countries”.

Everyone clambered as they clap for bubba, they all seem to enjoy their talk sessions about the goals they achieved. They all were so happy, besides catnap.

He took a big gulp hoping to swing the mood faster, it was a heartfelt moment when he felt shitty around a successful group.

“Have yall heard of the upcoming state championship?”. Hoppy laid across kickin lap as everyone nodded their head.

“Your planning to go again this year?”. Crafty look at her as she nodded.

“Might leave for 3 months”. Kickin groan as he hugged hoppy. “Come on, stay here I can’t be alone for 3 months”. He whined as hoppy rolled her eyes then she patted his head. “You’re a big boy now, you can wait for me in a few months”.

“Last year you came second actually”. Bubba chuckled. “Let’s hope you get third”.

Everyone clapped for her as catnap also did, but abit slower.

“Enough of us! Catnap what have you done?”. Picky shifted the attention to catnap as he jolted up.

“Yeah we know about us, but what about you?”. Bubba was interested in knowing his life.

Catnap slowly felt his throat being dried once everyone eyes were on him, he wanted to shrink back into nothing because nothing was worth saying to them.

“I….i didn’t do much in my life, I’m sorry”.

Everyone shifted back and sighed knowing they wouldn’t get much information about him, maybe later when they get to personally be with him he can tell them what happened.

Kickin noticed the awkwardness and quickly held up a few more beers. “How about a few more rounds?”.

A hour sets in and glass cups were scattered everywhere, they reek of liquor as some chuckled or some was dazed out of it. Catnap just stared at them, they were adults so nothing illegal but it was very weird seeing his own friends drunk.

Kickin was smothering hoppy as he peckers her neck earning giggled and chuckles. “Stop it~”. Hoppy hummed as he moan and kiss her neck more.

It was awkward being the only one kinda sober and watching everyone either slowly sleeping or being flirty due to the wine, but he felt abit dizzy himself so he couldn’t judge, slowly he gotten up and walked over to his room and opened the door.

Once on his bed he started to nuzzle against the sheets hoping to sleep the wine away.

He look at his tail as he wrapped himself to keep him comfortable.

“May I come in?”. A voice was at his door as he look up and slowly rub his eyes to gain a better look.

Craftycorn was seen as she waved a small hi, he stared at her for a while till he nodded watching her come in.

“Thank you”. She sat herself on the bed as catnap kept kneading the blanket, he didn’t have the claws to do so, for now he used his paws.

“How are you feeling?”. She spoke softly as he hummed abit. “Dizzy….sleepy”. He added.

“I see you been doing better, especially the mark on your neck”. She pointed out as his ears perked up. “The mark on your neck, it was furless….but you put purple blush to cover it”. Catnap looked at her all shock. “How did you know?”.

She shrugged. “I guess when I was hanging out with Bobby back then she taught me all about make up….especially if you can tell who is wearing some”.

His ears drop down at the name as he sighed and push his face in the pillow. “…..she…changed”.

Crafty notice his reaction but sighed. “Yeah….i guess money do change people in different ways”.

Money, the only thing catnap wished for in his wasted years. It could had done him a lot better but never received any to run away, the thought made his stomach turned.

“Yeah”.

Silence filled the air as they both just sat on the bed not knowing their next words.

“Dogday…..”

Crafty look up at him, as he slowly wiped his tears as he chuckled abit, the wine was getting to him.

“I’m a failure….i failed him. So bad.”.

Crafty rub catnap back as he kept chuckling. “He….he wants me back…..but not as lovers, I don’t blame him for moving on”. He slowly grip the pillow as tears flooded the pillow case.

She slowly watch him break down as she placed a handkerchief over his eyes to wipe his tears, he slowly stop and unclench the pillow as he look at her. She stared at him with pity as she pull back and hugged him.

“….i wish you can tell me what happened….its really not your fault”. She whispered as he hugged her back, clenching his hands on her back, if he had his claws she would had been scratched on the back by accident.

“I just…”. Catnap sighed and he look down, he wanted many things in life, too many. He couldn’t know which one to have as he think of one.

A small kiss was pressed against catnap nose as he made alittle mew sound, he was surprised as he look at craftycorn as she just stared at him, he didn’t know wether it was pity or the wine.

He closed his eyes as he lean his head on crafty chest and wrap his arms around her waist. “What….do I want?…..is…so many things”.

He slowly whispered in her chest as he purred, his tail slowly wrap around crafty corn waist as he inhaled her scent. She rubbed his back as he continued to purr more, kneading her back this time.

Craftycorn let out a soft sigh as she slowly bring her finger to his neck as she gave out small scratches, catnap slowly perk up as he purred more enjoying the touch.

When she wasn’t expecting it suddenly catnap started to nip on her neck, hearing small relief sighs from her. It went on for a few minutes as things got heated in a second.

Catnap lowly sighed as he was push down slowly by crafty corn, his tired eyes look up as she positioned herself on his lap.

“You know…..you ain’t got to do this”. He muttered in a whispered manner.

She leaned down and kiss him. “I want to make you feel better”. He frown abit. “No…you don’t, it’s just the wine talking”. She hushed him and proceed to kiss him more, they both slowly push against each other as small moans erupted from their mouths.

Crafty slowly held on catnap waist as she grinded against him, watching catnap moan and grip her thighs it just intrigued her to grind deeper.

He slowly grip harder watching her covered clit grind into his hard bulge as he felt his pants slowly become tighter.

She press deeper and gently squeeze his thighs trying to get a better aim feeling her underwear becoming soaking wet.

A few more rounds of grinding till crafty slowly step off from his lap and see how soak his pants were along with his own wetness. She slowly pulled the zipper along but look at catnap for confirmation he slowly bit his lip and nodded.

Once the zipper was open she watch how his cock was free, it was hard and leaking. Pink was its natural color as it had abit of Spongey spikes around it, just like how an actual cat have.

“Cute”. She whispered as she started to take his cock in her mouth slowly throating it. “AGH!”.Catnap arched his back as his fur rose to the warm of her mouth. He felt crafty slowly bob her head to the tip all the way down to the base.

He shutters as drool left his lips, slowly gripping the blanket he slowly whines. “M-more”. Crafty look up and seen his reaction and nodded, she kept proceeding more till suddenly she started going faster. Gag noises and moans were mix around the room as the both were coming to their end.

Suddenly catnap reach down putting his hand behind crafty head as he push her deeper on his cock, she squeeze her eyes shut once she took in all of his cock down her throat, it was becoming harder as she whined.

He arched his back till suddenly wave of cum splash down crafty throat, she shut her eyes as tears build up feeling the substances invade her throat as she couldn’t breathe, making some spill out of her mouth.

Catnap panted and pulled away watching crafty cough with sperm coming down her mouth, he quickly started wiping down her face with his hand. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that”. His ears bend down in guilt.

She shook her head and crawled her way in the bed. “It’s my turn now”. Her hand slowly pulled him towards her. “You sure?”. He questions as she nodded. “It’s only fair”.

A gulp emerged in catnap throat as he look down at her drenched panties, it gave out a whole arousal smell as his tail swish back and fourth making his hands take it off.

Once her core been exposed to air, she moan in discomfort. He push his tongue in her core as he started to lick up the insides earning squeals and moans from her, He watch how much she squirmed and breathed hard.

She kept moaning as she tighten her legs around catnap as he lick deeper, his tongue was smooth which increased the tension on her muscles. He gave out a small few licks as he look down and see her core was pulsing, needing for more attention.

Crafty notice how catnap stop licking till he got on top of her with her legs spreaded apart, she blushed as she felt his hard tip at her entrance. With an okay he slowly pushed into her, his cock was slowly invading her womb. She gasp and held on to catnap arms, he gave her preppy kisses for comfort till she was better.

After a while he started to thrust more into her as she moan into her hands, he purred as he closed his eyes pushing his face between her boobs. He enjoyed the sensation, feeling the warmth, and first time being in control. Is this the reason why people are the way they are?.

A few rough slaps against crafty core sent her gasping and moaning as she dug her nails in catnap arms, he look down watching his own cock making her stomach have a small bulge.

“M-more”. She moaned as as he held her tight as he speed up, his claws engraving inside crafty back as he moaned.

Once unbuckled her bra he nuzzled it out the way and latch on to her bud, slowly pulling and sucking.

It overstimulated crafty as she squirmed harsher, she tightened her legs hard as she squirted all over his cock, once realizes he slowly pulled out and finishes on her stomach, coating it with his sticky substances.

They both pant as the deed was done, he used napkins to clean her and himself. Catnap pulled the blanket over the two as she cuddled against him, he push his face into her neck and apologized.

“I’m sorry…”

“For what?”.

He slowly sniffled. “For being…dirty”.

Crafty slowly kiss his head as he rubbed his neck. “It’s okay catnap, we both wanted it. You didn’t do anything wrong”.

He didn’t say anything but nodded, the night was now silent as they cuddled against each other feeling the warmth coming off of each other skin.

“Your so….secretive to yourself catnap, were you always good being intimate?”. Crafty whispered in his ear as he shook his head making her surprised.
“Then how did you became so good?”.

Catnap slowly drove himself to sleep, giving her one last answer. “I’ve been taught….wether I liked it or not”. He whispered before ending the night.

She held back a worried look knowing she couldn’t do anything but just to wait till the time is right, before going to sleep she gave one last kiss and slumber peacefully.

A certain critter had sighed, finally they were done. His big ears caught most of their noises and couldn’t sleep well. He was surprised that it was catnap and crafty corn, he never gotten a feeling off of both of them.

He groaned in awkwardness as he laid back down hoping to finally get a goodnight sleep.

A feeling came across his heart as he sighed, damn it. He was hoping he would be the one being in bed with crafty corn with all the love he had in his heart over the years.

“Well….no more wine for me”. He slowly closed his eyes as the night went by smoothly for the next day.

Chapter Text

“Will this be good enough for you sir?”.

Dogday look down at the line-up of engagement rings left to right as he stared at the red diamond the owner held up, it was a red with a square cut out that was engraved on a gold band.

“Yes, this is perfect”. Dogday said as he fetch his wallet while the man place the ring in the bag, he was out already shopping for rings in preparation of the proposal party, he had the venue planned and need more equipment for the party.

“Your future wife will be thrilled to have you as her husband”. The owner rang him up as he paid, dogday just smiled and wish him a good day before leaving.

It’s been two days since catnap left his home, he gotten a text from Kickin that he is gonna be staying with them for a while but it was saddening on why would he leave him, he been asking himself that question for a while.

The maids really look less talkative when catnap left the house, but nothing he can’t really do till he change his mind about coming back.

Dogday entered a popular cake place that had many first place ribbons, and recognition of them on the news papers scattered all over the place. This place had a huge waiting list and it would take months just to enter.

He continued walking to the desk as he watch many cake displays and the workers fixing new cakes, the lady smiled at him as she fix her posture. “Welcome to miss and mister cakes. Do you have a reservation?”. He nodded as he gave her a receipt number as she took it and scan it through her computer. “Ah your mister dogday, follow me to the back and the chef will lead you through the tour”.

The chef greeted them in the back as the lady left, he brought out a book of their winning wedding cakes. “Here we have the best wedding cakes we ever created, and we take pride in all of them. Do you know what you’re looking for?”.

The question made dogday ears perk up. “Yes I was thinking a square 3 layer cake with roses curving up around it”.

“So you want the the rose cake building up, we have plenty of those styles with other accessories added on it, then once you find the perfect one we will discuss flavor, filling and payment”.

Dogday was ready to open the book until a cart pulled both doors open as a huge cake came out, the women bowed down as she hummed. “Chef, the cake is finished”. He left to prepare the paperwork as dogday stared at the cake.

It was a celestial themed wedding cake, the dark colors with yellow light magically combined as small stars gathered around with the yellow moon on top, the cake somehow felt magical to him like it was calling out. The lady caught notice and smiled. “Like this cake? The couple that bought this cake are planning to wed at Sundown at the beach, it’s where they first met.

He step forward at the cake as he stared at the yellow moon, this cake yells out catnap all over it. Quickly he shook his head as he back away, no this trip is for Bobby…he must control himself before he lose himself.

After a few minutes he finally picked the perfect cake as they discussed the details about it, he made a deposit and was set for a certain date to pick it up. He sighed and walked as he stared at his phone, 10 miss called from Bobby.

Dogday called back and see she picked up. “Yes Bobby?”

“Did you pick up the wine yet?”

“Oh I was about to, I was getting a few things-“

“Yeah yeah whatever, just bring the wine so I can get back to my session”.

His ears flattened down as he groan. “Yes love….ill bring it”.

On the other side she made kissy noises. “Great love you baby”.

“Love yo-“. Dogday heard the phone click as he realized she hung up, he rubbed his head in annoyance. He putted up with Bobby for many years he shouldn’t be surprised she was like this.

“stop doing it so hard!”. Catnap whined out.

After catching how catnap fur was growing uneven Kickin was very insisting on he could help, because maybe it’s just in a chicken blood of preening.

“Maybe if you could stand still this wouldn’t be hard”. Kickin argued back as he kept preening the edges of certain parts of catnap back.

“Oh man this is good”. Picky was recording the two struggling.

“Why not use trimmers?”. Crafty questioned as he watch catnap hiss back at Kickin.

“Hey you don’t get to hiss at me!”. Kickin huff as he did the ears and the tips.

“Why are you such a chicken”. Catnap groan as a few silent giggles went around.

“Maybe cause I am”. Kickin pulled on a very last one hard as catnap jump and started pawing at Kickin face while hissing.

Hobby pulled catnap away. “Okay that’s enough Kickin, you did good”. Kickin blew a pouted look. “I know I did good”

“That hurts”. Catnap cross his arms as he wrap himself with his tail.

“Love you too buddy”. He rolled his eyes at Kickin comment. “ANYWAYS”. Hoppy interject. “Don’t you need to go to practice for your upcoming tournament tomorrow?”.

Kickin smile drop as he look at the time, shit she was right, His manager ain’t gonna be happy. He got up and quickly started packing his things. “Sorry guys but duty calls”.

Catnap watch kickin leave but without giving him a peace sign making catnap smile abit, One by one each critter started making their way out giving catnap a goodbye. He started to help put things away before he felt a hand press against his head, it was craftycorn.

“Well….ill see you tomorrow at the game, I hope you and dogday figure stuff out”. Crafty watch catnap eyes closed as he nodded, she gave a few more pats making his tail swish before leaving.

“So…..you like her?”. Hoppy smirk making catnap jump. “N…no, it’s not like that”. He blush furiously as he look away.

“Just asking because of…..last night event”. Hoppy chuckled earning groans from catnap as he cross his arms. “It….it was because of the wine…..we just had too much…that’s it”.

A few pats on the back making him stumble as she grab his hand. “Come on, we’re heading to the gym”. He look at her confused as he shook his head but all she did was pull to him to the room to bring him a few extra clothes. “Sure we are….you need to get more stronger”.

Catnap sigh and watching her gather the right things, he look around the master bedroom as he notice a huge collections of many stuff, it look like they aren’t producing anything of these anymore.

He look through areas of footballs, golf, and music collection. These were old time famous people, if they sold this it would be worth millions.

As he browse each area he notice something in the magazine, a certain character he forgotten a while ago. It was dogday’s mother, he forgot that she was a model. It’s been years now and she is in the retirement home. Hoppy came back with the bag and notice he was staring deeply at the poster. “Oh….i see you found the magazine, sad that everyone have to grow up one day”.

His paw slowly clench the book as he quickly turn around. “Let’s go visit her….”

Chapter Text

Catnap was in the kitchen washing dishes as the other teens made their way to entertain guests, ever since he was bought he was now living in a brothel house. They each have their times on the clock, have their rooms, and can only be allowed to walk outside on the property, nowhere else. Catnap was special.

"The women treated him like a son who had been lost for a long time. They taught him how to dance and play the piano, and allowed him to leave the property, but only with two henchmen accompanying him. Although many were envious of his treatment, even he was not safe from the harsh punishments."

"catnap". A small puppy came to him. "Mommy wants you". He looked at her and nodded, usually, he was summoned for a client or to perform.

He stepped out as the large room was filled with rich clients or just regular drunks as adults and teens sat with them to satisfy their needs. He went to the bar where Mommy was as she looked at the papers, she smiled once she looked at him. "well my dear catnap, so glad you came quick. The house is gonna be closing soon so why not finish the day with some music?".

"yes, ma'am".Catnap muttered as he made his way to the stage.

His fingers played along the keys as he remembered each key perfectly, due to not being able to sleep till he got everything right. He blurred out the noise in the background as he just focused on the piano, he looked to the side as he stared at the pup doing her work. small kids like her weren't able to work with clients till they reached 15 but till then they had a job to keep things tidy or make sure things were stocked up, that part he was thankful for.

She first arrived after two weeks of catnap being there, she held onto mommy hand with very big sorrowful eyes. He treated her as a sister, he didn't know why but just looking at her reminded him of dogday. They both slept in the same bed, he taught her how to read, he cooks her food, and stay by her side mostly to not wanting others to bring her trouble.

"what's your name?" catnap once asked her.

She paused for a moment as she pointed a finger to her lip as she thought."i... don't have a name".

"do you want one?". catnap asks.

she looks up at him."what would it be? i have many people call me but it never sticks".

catnap shifted his leg to the side as he laid down pulling a blanket over them, he always observed her movement and her voice. She was shy at most times but when you bring her out of her shell she really can be optimistic about things, she wanna do many things in life and wanna have many friends and a loving family, almost like.....

"Dawn"....Catnap spoke, she was like a female version of dogday but was way light and didn't have any red spots only white, and was fluffy but not a cocker spaniel.

"Dawn?" she tilts her head out of confusion. "my lover.....is a dog just like you, but not exactly your breed. I guess all dogs are optimistic like you since they are known to be leaders. He...he is bright and smart and helps anybody in need, you remind me so much about him. i guess they named him Day because of how he brightened up many people's days, now dawn....dawn is considered a starting point when the day starts. And you little pup is just getting started for the future".

she stared at him with amazement as her tail wagged, this is the first she had ever been motivated even if it was something small. "dawn it is then". She squeaked happily until the room light was turned off, it was time to sleep now. "goodnight dawn".

A finger accidentally pressed on the wrong note as catnap opened up his eyes, his ears tilted back as he regained his posture and continued playing music. He still felt the stare mommy was giving him in the back.

Everyone left as now it was clean-up time, mommy forced catnap to keep playing as he push the keys.

"you were distracted weren't you". she spoke as she petted catnap.

"n-no ma'am, my finger slip". He shivers at the touch of her hand pushing back the fur on his head.

"hmm.....your finger slipped after all the practices we've been through?". she said sweetly as her voice entered catnap ears making the tiny fur stand on his back.

"i-im sorry i was washing dishes m-maybe it was the water-".

"or.....maybe you were thinking about, dawn". mommy smirked as catnap immediately shook his head. "n-no! i-"

Out of nowhere, the key lid was shut down on catnap fingers as he let out a painful scream, everyone noticed in fear and quickly left the room. Tears fell down as he watch mommy fingers lay on top of the lid as he couldn't move his fingers. "tsk tsk tsk darling, you shouldn't lie to me. It's a bad habit~".

Her hands slowly went under Catnap chin and forced him to look at her as she smiled. "the walls have ears darling, i hear from others what's been going on in everyone's bedrooms. i know everyone's weaknesses and secrets". catnap trembled as he listened to her speak. "besides I also notice how you treat little dawn as well, you wanna protect her don't you?"

He slowly nodded as his throat was too dry to say anything, she kissed the top of his head as she pulled the key lid up watching catnap pulls his fingers in agony to his chest. "perfection is key, if she is gonna be standing in your way i'll be happy to accommodate a new housing for her.

Catnap bit back his lip as he stared down at his bloody fingers, he needs to get out of there asap.

"Are you a family or friend?"

catnap held a bouquet as he look at the lady behind the desk, the retirement home reeked of old lady smell but it was something many with family have to get used to, besides him. "im a friend"

She typed in the computer as she look at his ID, once she was finished she gave him back the id. "room 62 on the second floor".

He walk through the area as old people were around chatting or playing bingo, he could never imagine himself being old. What does it feel like? will he be really lonely? How many people dont get visitations from their loved ones? They just sit around and wait for their deaths. He press the button to the elevator as he got on, he embraced the short lobby music for a moment till the doors open and he exited. Through the hallway, it was filled with many papers either with medicare or patients times or the photos of the ones that passed. This didn't sit right with catnap he knew life was too long yet too short, one day he will be in this building at a certain age as well. He inspected the numbers till he appeared infront of the door, 62.

He let out a sigh and knocked, no answer. He knocked again and this time he heard a soft voice from behind. "come in"

Catnap opened the door and saw dogday's mother on the bed, she nearly lost her color as he inspected her. "hello miss day"

The mother place her glasses on and recognized the purple feline. "catnap...is it really you?". He nodded as he came close and sat down in the chair as the mother quickly wrap her arms around him. "oh my, its been years! w-where have you been? y-you went missing". He just let out a soft smile and nodded. "its a long story miss....i just came to visit you".

"me?".She look honored. "oh you remember poor ol me?". He chuckled and nodded. "after the years....i came back and well i finally reunited with my friends". He softly smile as he place the flowers in her vase. "do that mean you met dogday?". she ask and he nodded. "that mean....you know".

"bobby and him getting married? yes.....honestly he deserves better, i was only gonna hold him back...just like how i left".

The mother sigh as she lean up. "catnap i may not be young but that doesn't mean i was born yesterday. You and dogday always loved each other, the way yall always showed it proved how strong it was.....he was devastated when you left after the fire incident, it was a traumatic time for everyone that day".

A few tears fell from catnap as he look down. "i loved dogday, i thought about him every day for the years...till i had to stop for my own survival".

"own survival?" The mother sounded worried. "what has happened?"

Catnap didn't say a word as tears fell, that day was his own fault from the beginning...all because of a ring he founded.

"i didn't leave.....i was kidnapped".
