Only Because
“… I hate you…”
“Oh, come on. You don’t mean that.”
“Yes, I do! And I hate that… that thing!”
Ash pointed a finger at the “thing” in question—a small black bundle of fur with large golden eyes. Ari snickered and lifted a hand to her mouth to quiet it. “You already said yes,” she reminded her old friend. “Can’t change your mind now.”
Ash narrowed her eyes and just glared at her friend. “I hate you.”
“Just keep it.”
At this moment, the kitten mewed softly and tumbled off the desk, right into Ash’s lap. The girl shrieked and nearly shot out of her chair. “HEY!”
“Relax, Ash. He’s just a baby.”
“I wouldn’t let a baby fall into my lap, either! Get him off!”
Rolling her eyes, the blonde leaned back in her chair. “Just get used to him,” she muttered. “You’re the one keeping him.”
“Only because you forced him on me!”
“I did not!”
“Yes you—hey, hey! What’s he doing?!”
Silence fell as Ari listened; her lips curved in a smile and she laughed, pushing her hair out of her eyes to grin at Ash. “He’s purring, Ash. It means he likes you.”
“Well, I don’t like him!”
“Oh, be quiet and study.”
Ash grumbled and scowled at her friend, but Ari had already retrieved a volume of Bleach and was contentedly reading away. Muttering one last time under her breath, the other girl focused her attention on the math book in front of her.
Ari read Bleach for about five or ten minutes before sneaking a glance at Ash. To her amusement, she saw that even though Ash was studying the math book she’d lowered one hand and was absently scratching the kitten behind one ear.
“Knew he’d win you over.” Her voice was smug.
Ash glared again, but she didn’t stop petting the kitten.
“Only because he’s cute, got it?”
Ari laughed. “Yeah, yeah…”
The End
Don't ask. Just... don't. XD
