The Cat Everyone I Know is a Goddamn Furry Meme



So you know how in a certain series you're born with cat ears and they only come off when you lose your virginity? Well, this is nothing like that. One day you just suddenly wake up like this. all fluffy and cute (tail optional). Embarrassed? Planning to stay in bed until they go away on their own like some weird, supernatural cold? TOO BAD! Although you don't know how you got them, the one thing you do know for sure, somehow, is that they only come off with a kiss. So get out there and find a good samaritan to help you out!

[ YANKS THE BLANKETS BACK OVER HIS HEAD ]

NO, DON'T LOOK!!

[nannying]

That's not what a man's death is, stupid!

[ the blankets move, and. oh. that's a tail.

wait.

those are ears?!

shinji's frozen just long enough eijun can get the blanket back, but then he's leaning his knee on the bed and yanking up so he can investigate the ears, first. the tail's interesting too, but eijun had clearly known about the ears, first. ]

You got something to tell me?

[ are they real... have you been a shapeshifting dog yokai all along... give him answers, sawamura!! ]

[tire]

[ eijun's still freaking out a little about the fact that there's a tail there (how did he not notice this when he was putting on his pants) but he takes his opportunity to hide with pride, up until shinji's right there and looking, too. he yelps and puts his hands on his head, attempting to cover them.

the tips of the ears poke out through his tanned fingers, and now he can barely hear anything? awesome ] No!! [ he answers, and it's actually kind of true? eijun lets go of the ears and they spring back up into place cutely on the top of his head. ] I don't know--!? I just woke up and I was gonna for a run too, and then, they were there!!

[ he's gesturing the entire time this is happening, about a million miles an hour. ] And I thought, Eijun, maybe you're just still sleeping, so I pinched myself really hard and Shinji, they're stuck on my head!!

[nannying]

[ he reaches up to run a hand down his own face, because this is ridiculous. even more ridiculous than the rest of their lives. he leans back a little, hand curled around eijun's bicep, and pulls until he's sitting up so shinji can take a look at him.

curiosity is clear on his face as he carefully reaches out to touch one. ]

Woah, so they are real...

[ he frowns, fingers readjusting the hair at eijun's temple absentmindedly. ]

Okay, stop, calm down, you're freaking out and that's not helping, dumbass-- [ there's a little worry in his voice. please do not work yourself up into a panic attack. ]

You're sure you don't remember anything weird from when you woke up?

[ they're gonna be so late for class... haruichi is going to make fun of them... but whatever. eijun sawamura is more important than homeroom. ]

[tire]

[ eijun gives him a despairing look because of course he's freaking out, but the pets sort of help, seeing as how he's always been a dog. it's only now that it's become more actualized.

the ear in question twitches in his direction when he reaches out to touch it, though both of them are now drooping a little in eijun's distress. as he sits up properly and tries to think about it, eijun puts his hand to his chin. tick tock tick tock... ]

Nope! [ accompanied with a shake of his head. ] I just got out of bed, changed into my running clothes, and then I saw them in the mirror! [ a little whine. his puppy eyes are made about a thousand times worse with actual puppy ears drooping on his head. ] What if they're stuck there forever? I can't wear a baseball hat with my uniform!

[ also you have... a tail ]

[nannying]

[ it is hard to look at you right now, eijun, you're just too pitiful. shinji's hand settles between his new ears, drooping and sad as they are, to pat his head. he's even more doglike than usual today...

with a sigh, he scritches his fingers a little. ]

What, you're more worried about the ears than the tail? You're gonna have to cut holes in all of your pants, y'know.

[ that's... probably not helping, is it. ]

All right, breathe. We'll--we'll have to talk to Coach, we'll figure this out.

[ because admittedly, he doesn't really have much of an idea of how to handle this besides... keep eijun from crying, probably. or finding out if he can do the shiba inu scream now. that's the last thing he needs. ]

[tire]

[ oh... the petting's kind of nice. eijun's calming down as much as anybody who woke up with dog ears on their head can calm down, and in fact, that cute little curly tail gives a swish behind him.

it's almost laughable how well this dog thing suits him.

kanemaru tells him to breathe so he does, cheeks puffing up with the force of his hard exhale, and eijun puts his hands in his lap and stares at them for a second as if he's contemplating. hes thinking really hard. ] Maybe they can go away somehow! Like how they would in a manga or something!!

[ this is not loveless ]

[nannying]

This is real life, stupid, not a manga!

[ he's still petting eijun's head, though, so the insult doesn't seem to mean much.

he sighs. ]

What kinda somehow, anyway, this isn't Fruits Basket.

[ look at this nerd. ]

[tire]

[ that tail behind him is really starting to wag now. in fact, it thumps against the covers of the blankets once or twice and then three times, until it's a steady background thumpathumpthump because he's enjoying getting petted even in his distress.

ducking his head down a little, eijun stares at the bed. he feels like he knows... ] They can't be stuck there forever, they've gotta go away!

[ quiet for a second, blissful quiet, before he looks up suddenly, the ears on his head twitching. ] Oh, I know how! [ a pause, and then he starts to redden. like, a lot. it's immediately obvious, considering it started on his cheeks and is now coloring most of his face. ]

[nannying]

[ the thumping is gonna get real old, real fast, but for now shinji's just furtively enjoying touching eijun's hair and, every now and then, brushing one of those ears. curiosity is a natural human emotion, okay.

he waits while eijun works that birdbrain (that feels wrong--) of his, and looks momentarily impressed until eijun starts turning red as a stop sign. ]

I get the feelin' I'm not gonna like it, so spit it out already, wouldya?

[ this is not loveless!!!! or at least it better not be!!!! ]

[tire]

You're gonna laugh!! [ this is a dumb thing to be stubborn about, but here we are. some of the tail thumping has stopped as he gets embarrassed, though he still keeps his head under kanemaru's hand because that's still pretty nice. eijun's gaze flicks away and his mouth curves straight down into a frown.

but he's also well aware of the fact that kanemaru could help, and eijun really doesn't want to be a dog forever, and kanemaru will probably get even more mad if he doesn't tell him.

he waits, fidgeting. ] I think it's... with a kiss.

[ eijun mumbles the last bit. a rarity. ]

[nannying]

We're not gonna know if I'm gonna laugh or not until you say it, stupid!

[ his urge is to grab eijun's head in his hand and squeeze, maybe shake him around a little, but he's distracted with the petting session, kinda, and eijun would yell, and it feels easier to just wait it out.

he blinks. eijun mumbles low enough he almost thinks he's misheard, but then he's going red, too.

this is loveless! how did this happen! ]

Wh-what kinda--what kinda fairytale manga bullshit is that?!

[ he can't decide if he's convinced eijun is making it up for an excuse to... kiss him... or if he's reacting to the situation at hand. perhaps both? ]

Any kiss gonna do, or does it have to be true love's kiss on a mountaintop after slayin' a dragon or something, too?!

[tire]

[ kanemaru getting riled up immediately riles eijun up too, and the ears on his head perk straight up from where they were drooping. ]

I don't know!!! I didn't pick it!!! I just know that's how it has to be!! [ his explanation is so stupid it has to be unbelievable, but eijun literally has nothing beyond that--he just knows somewhere in him that if shinji kisses him, it'll go away. or, well, it could be anyone, maybe? but he's not going outside right now there's no way. what if furuya saw him like this?! what if coach saw him like this?! ]

[ he definitely lunges forward to latch onto kanemaru's waist so he doesn't actually run away screaming. ] Shinjiiiiiiii!!!

[ some things never change: eijun wailing kanemaru's name has only gone from last name to first, but otherwise stayed the same. ]
