Cccat HOME! event entry!
Small bouts of laughter rang down the short hallway, filling the atmosphere with joy as the sound of two sets of pattering feet followed closely, two small cccats were pulling a shirt together in each-others teeth, tugging back and forth, the fabric made light ripping noises, the small cat patterns in the fabric stretching and distorting. finally with one harsh pull from the big eared one- the fabric made a loud tearing noise, it seemed to have echoed down the hallway as both froze. The laughter stopped as Bloo let the shirt fall from his mouth. Vlatoo ‘stared’ at Bloo for a moment before a door opened and closed, humanoid footsteps getting closer before they stopped.
“That's my-…? shirt!”
Vlatoo spat out the torn fabric before yelling out
“SCATTER!” he rounded the corner and fumbled down the large stairs, rolling over several times as his balance shifted. luckily he landed upright at the bottom and then his little feet sped him off to the living room. Bloo was close behind, his ears back as he knew what was coming, luckily his longer legs allowed himself to properly reach down the stairs and he caught wind of vlatoos tail sliding under the couch right as a fireball barreled into the ground nearby, quickly it petered out on the stone floor, meant to be harmless and small. Bloo screeched as he launched himself right behind vlatoo, the two huddling under a sofa as they snickered and grinned at each other. Bloo stopped snickering as he shot a hand out to hold over Vlatoos mouth, telling him silently to be quiet. from under the sofa they watched as a pair of boots slammed on the stone flooring at the bottom of the stairs, it was hard to resist laughing for Vlatoo as his body shook with excitement.
“where did you both run off to… I have a few… words to say.” a low growl filled the house as the voice disappeared a bit distantly, walking the opposite direction they were at and into the kitchen. The two let out a small breath of short relief, the thrill was getting intense. While the voice had disappeared into the kitchen, Vlatoo popped his head and ears out, double checking before he silently led the way down another hallway behind the stairs, Bloo wiggled himself out before following right on his brothers heels, keeping his head low. The two noiselessly tracked to a closet, Bloo standing for a moment on his tip-toes to open the door, allowing vlatoo in before as silently as possible closing it behind him. The tiny sparkly cccat slithered underneath the rack filled with boxes against the wall. Bloo huffed, seeing as he definitely couldn’t follow under there. He cautiously slid himself into a box above, closing the lid up as he ducked in, now he was shaking from the tension and excitement as more footsteps followed along with a humming voice, calling them out from hiding.
“BOO!”
The door slammed open, light filling the room as the dark closet flooded with a cold glow. Bloo silently put his hands over his ears, dread filling his senses as the footsteps got closer.
“gonna make me find you both huh. I can see you both ykno’.” The lid on the box opened and Bloo yelped, shooting up to try and jump away, but his tail was grabbed before he got anywhere. He frowned, hanging limply as he whimpered.
“Vlatoo made me do it.” he immediately launched the blame on his sibling as vlatoo poked his head out from under the rack, scowling.
“not true!” the smaller cccats ears were grabbed as he was yanked from under the thing. both dangled uselessly as defeat wafted in the air. The closet door was tugged closed by the man's foot as he scoffed, bringing the two back upstairs.
“this is the third time you’ve both ruined a nice shirt- and no- i cannot just ‘buy another’” they both were dropped to the floor in front of the ruined shirt. the two small cccats hung their heads low as white eyes glared down at them. “you both behave worse than my actual cats, and that's saying a lot.” he scoffed, bending down to pick up the torn clothing piece.
“Hero? what's going on here?” a huge cccat slipped into the hallway, towering over the small group, his orange eye was peering at the situation, connecting the dots extremely quickly as the eye locked on both of the small cccats, their heads went down again in shame, knowing that they would get a scolding.
“eh- it's alright, i’ve got too many cat shirts anyways.” Hero shrugged and tossed the shirt to hang over his shoulder. “Drake can just fix it for me when he gets home.” Hero hummed, folding his arms.
“still- they should be held accountable” once again both tiny things were lifted, huge hands holding onto their small torsos as they both were limp, acting as if the whole world was ending. The large cccat sol flicked his ear in irritation, causing his metal earring to lightly clink around. “you both are-“
“do not worry about it sol, i handled it, made them both run for the hills, it won't happen again. right?” both of the limp cccats nodded their heads like crazy, Bloo looking up at Sol who had a conflicted expression. The glowing cccat huffed before he placed the two back on the ground, his tail curling around behind the two beings' path so that they couldn’t flee quite yet.
“if you say so. I hope to not be in this predicament again, do I make myself clear?” Sol snapped, Vlatoo and Bloo nodded once more, Sol shook his head and lifted his tail, pulling it back to curl behind him. The two small things immediately sprinted under Sols feet and around hero’s, running back downstairs as light giggles filled the halls.
“yeesh- lighten up a little, I was playing around a bit with them, it's no big deal.” the humanoid figure shrugged and Sol hummed in reply.
“That may be so- but you’re going to eat your words once you find something precious of yours broken. they are a disastrous pair.” Sol gently pulled at the crown around his ears, shifting it a bit out of habit. “but I will take your teaching methods to heart, threaten their lives first, talk later.” Sol nodded and Hero looked astonished.
“ah- hold on I didn't-“ Sol turned and padded back towards the stairs, following the giggles from the living room. “that’s definitely not what happened-! you should not take that as advice!!”he shouted after his friend who grinned, padding over to the giggles to look down at Vlatoo and Bloo scuffling together on the same couch they had been hiding under earlier. Sol smiled kindly, glad Bloo had been fitting into their new home quite spectacularly. things were going well it seemed.
