Work Text:
it is the day after christmas, everyone has either went home or gone to a hotel to sleep at for the night. since everyone has gone away, shumby and cobblecat started clearing out the decorations in the living room.
“mmmeeeooooowwwwww”
“what”
“sorry that was by habit”
“..soo how long are you gonna stay here” shumby asked
cobblecats home is pretty far and he also cant buy a hotel cuz hes a little brokie homeless cat that asks for money in his home town street
“i dont know probably for the night and until the afternoon” still unsure when he's gonna go back home
after a long while the decorations are all finally kept away in a storage room and they were both wondering what to eat for dinner
“i could go for some grass”
“•_• i cant eat grass”
“oh but thats all i have in my pantry”
they open the pantry..lo and behold..its literally just grass of different biomes
“uhh theres probably a pet store near here, wear your jacket cobble its gonna get preetttyyy cold”
“:3”
after getting ready the both of them set sail to odyssey for a certain treasure that only cats can eat, if only they can picture what they will have to meet..unless tonight they will forever have to leech..
leech off of grass
..
“woah it really is cold here dude” even with a hugeee jacket and his fur, he still shivers
“yea usually the streets get snow piled up a ton”
“Oh wait i think thats the pet store”
“oh my god finally it feels like im going to slip any second with my hooves”
“meeeooowwwwwowowo”
cobblecat sighs in relief as they open the door, theres not that much people in the store so they can pretty much roam freely
“uhm wheres the cat sect- cobble where did you go”
before shumby can even get his sentence out, cobble is nowhere to be seen so now shumby has to wander around the aisle because the store doesnt have signs
“cooobbbleeee where did you goo” shumby mutters to himself while looking through the aisle's
cut to cobblecats pov
“oh my god they have *insert cat food* and *insert cat food* im hunrgy i lowkey would just choose anything but they have so many”
cobblecat wipes his mouth and looks at the food the shelf displays
“dude”
cobblecat jerks from the unexpected dude
“why did you go without me i was searching through the store looking for you”
yaayyy everybody clap shumby has found cobblecat meoooww (𓂂꜆◕⩊◕꜀𓂂)
“sorry shumby i just smelled the cat food from the entrance and entered a flow state”
..
“have you already decided what you want”
“yea, do you need anything from here?”
“nope i just came here for you”
•_•
“..for you to buy your own dinnerrrr….winner winner chicken winner”
“thats probably not the way you sing it but okay dude anyways lets go”
after buying cobblecats dinner they went home and it has gotten even colder since its dark outside
“oh my god its way more colder here than it is in my hometown” as a way to warm himself up he wraps his tail around his left leg
“yea, most of the residents here dont go outside in the winter and probably just hibernate”
they both get home safely and start making dinner for themselves
“shumby i hear the icecream truck (✿◕‿◕✿)”
“?? its literally night bro”
“do you eat grass ice cream”
“what”
“simplyy haaviiinngg a wonderful christmas time” cobblecat hums to himself
cobblecat finished eating first and went to the nearest cardboard box and started SLEEPING like his life depended on it
shumby clears out everything on the table and gets ready to get in bed
shumby glances at cobblecat sleeping peacefully in the most claustrophobic space ever but yet theres a overwhelming comfort shumby feels
its kinda sad knowing cobblecat is going to go in the afternoon, shumby quickly looks away and goes into his room to sleep
in the morning shumby wakes up and feels something heavy on his stomach, he looks down and sees a curled up grey cat laying comfortably on him
“omg kitty” shumbys first instinct is to pet it and turns out its just cobblecat in his natural form
shumby even though he knows its cobble, he still pets it because the fur is pretty damn soft
during the process cobblecat opens his eyes, he doesnt want to actually wake up because he likes shumby petting him so he just pretends that he's still asleep
cobble thinks to himself - “..i thought i hated people petting me what am i doing ….its nice though”
shumby stops petting after awhile scared cobblecat doesnt like it and gently pushes cobble a little to get out of bed
after shumby went out of the room cobble turns back into his “normal” self and purrs in disappointment, he was hoping shumby would pet him a little longer
cobble just lays in shumbys bed not really knowing what to do, not wanting to do anything he enters the blanket and cuddles up with himself going back to sleep
