| THE LIST! 01] baby Suddenly, there's a new addition to your family! Are you expecting? Adopting? Struggling to find the perfect name for your child? Or maybe you're up at a ridiculous hour in the morning because they're crying like crazy. 02] just married Congratulations! You and your loved (?) one are about to start a whole new life together! It's time for the honeymoon... 03] house hunting Are you seeking out an apartment? A dream house? Or just any old place, as long as you're with your other? Make sure to weigh your options very carefully... 04] household chores It's time to clean/cook/garden/take care of something! Do you work together, or does one of you hide until everything is done? 05] shopping Whether it's for furniture, groceries, or something in between, shopping is something that everybody must do at some point in time! What varies is if they like it or not. 06] family vacation WE'RE OFF TO DIDNEY WOOOOOOOOORL or wherever ... well, as long as the kids are happy, right...? You may not be happy (or maybe you are), but it's mainly about ~family bonding~. 07] romantic retreat It's you and your loved one's anniversary, and you decide it's time to take some time off and take them somewhere nice, where you only have each other. 08] comfort Is somebody sick in bed? Or perhaps they just had a bad day? Sometimes, a good breakfast in bed or a home-cooked meal can really lift the spirits! Or perhaps you want to try medicine, or laughter, or something else? 09] pet Suddenly, you have another addition to the family! Is it a puppy? A kitty? A fierce dragon? Whatever it is, make sure to give it a name and to take good care of it! 10] holiday Happy birthday/New Years/Christmas/Valentine's Day/whatever! It's a very special day that only comes once a year, so make it count! 11] argument Oh, no, who left the stove on... Or maybe it's about why they were out late last night? Either way, there is a lot of tension today, and one of you may or may not be sleeping on the couch tonight. 12] making up It's time to make amends for that fight/divorce/whatever you had before! After all, you love each other... right? 13] surprise, surprise You are feeling rather loving tonight, so you want to remind the other person how much you cherish and appreciate them... if it's by something cute and adorable or hot and sexy is completely up to you. 14] proposal 15] other I know I'm forgetting like a bajillion and one different things here, so this is the option for that! |
no subject
[It is a pretty name, suitable for a small ball of fur.
Which he can always take to the other flat if she proves difficult. For instance, if she forsakes her catnap-laced scratching post for the Persian rug to dull her claws on. Or if she decides to find out whether or not "criminal mastermind" tastes good with those tiny, sharp little teeth of hers.
...Strangely enough, he finds himself wondering if James might like her more if she bit him. Wilfully.]
no subject
[He doesn't look up but once to glance at Sebastian and then darts his gaze back down to the screen, making it extremely pointed just how much he does not care.]
no subject
[Sebastian considers it... without watching the kitten. Which has, apparently, woken up.
At least long enough to move from one sleeping spot to another.
It sits at the bottom of the couch, looking up at the cushions. It knows those are soft-- it's been lifted up onto them before. But it's still too small to jump up. An experimental stretch shows that, no, it can't just pull itself up there.
So it mews, once.
Put me up there.]
no subject
And James rolls his head back and forth a moment.
And goes back to ignoring it. It'll get bored of him just like he is bored of it.]
no subject
...And, by the way, you're on the "bad servant" list now, too. It will remember this. Hmph.
Sebastian is, at present, heading back to the kitchen to check on dinner.
The cat? Is now determined to get up on her sofa. Because it is hers. Everything in this house is hers. Because she is now here.
It makes a leap and only gets about halfway up the couch. Thankfully, it has claws. Which attach to the fabric. And, slowly, it begins scooting and scrambling up, nails audibly pulling from the fabric and reattaching in its climb.
Once on the couch properly? It takes a moment to survey its domain before looking at the man there and mewing again.
Aren't I smart?]
no subject
James promptly and quickly - so he won't be bitten by the nasty little thing (it'd need shots if it was going to live here) - shoves her off the cushion with the palm of his hand. Gently, he doesn't feel like breaking it yet so he just transfers her from couch to carpet once more.
With a brisk shove.
And then he speaks, not looking at the feline but it's definitely directed to it:]
Learn to jump.
no subject
How did it get down here?
Oh well. Back up it goes, clawing its little way up again. Faster this time, since it knows what it's doing now.]
no subject
[James hisses it, a little firmer this time before picking it up by the extra skin on the nape of it's neck and hoisting it mid-climb so it's claws stick in the fabric and - fuck he's going to have to get everything reupholstered by the end of this week fuck.]
no subject
Mews. Loudly.
Which... brings Sebastian back into the room.]
James.
no subject
[He manages to sound perfectly calm and reasonable when in-fact he's growing steadily infuriated with it. How dare this thing already have Sebastian wrapped around it's proverbial finger! Sebastian was his, not a damn kittens.]
Yet. [He says it staring right into the kitten's pretty blue eyes and means it as a threat 'Don't even try. This is my turf.']
no subject
A gloating sound, likely.
Sebastian looks at James, stroking the fur on the kitten's head with his thumb while scratching the back of its neck with two fingers.]
Now, can I leave you two alone together so I can fix dinner? Or do I have to take her in with me?
no subject
He wants to strap her to a firework and send it off.
...Her?
He wants to feed IT to a giant sewer rat for irony's sake.
And he sticks his tongue out at the little thing - actually sticks his tongue out - before crossing his arms over his chest and his legs at the knees and looking the other direction.]
Just make food.
[James Moriarty ... is sulking.]
no subject
[He sets the kitten on the couch, far at the opposite end from James.]
Both of you.
[And when he walks away, the kitten looks right at James... before it sees a light.
His mobile's screen.
What's that? And, sure enough, she's padding over toward him to examine it. Either she doesn't learn or she has nerves of steel.]
no subject
He was especially like that with Sebastian.
And right now, he was doing that with his phone. And he shifts it to his other side, giving the kitten a very petulant look as if to say 'go away you pest. you're ruining my day.']
no subject
A little mewl as the ball of fur starts to climb into the genius's Westwood covered lap.]
no subject
That bitch.
James scoops his hand under the body of the fuzzy little thing and gently - very gently because if it fucks up the weave on his pant leg he's going to be furious - scoops her up.]
no subject
She's... playing?
Her tail is swishing, and she's batting at the other fingers she can reach from the position she's being held in.]
no subject
He pauses for a moment, just sitting back to watch it try to maul his fingers when suddenly James very swiftly turns it over on it's back and wiggles his fingers above it's sharp little claws and teeth. Baiting it.]
no subject
The kitten bats at the fingers above it, claws ever so slightly extended. Enough to catch the skin, but not hard. And if it manages to get decent hold of that hand? All four paws curl around it and there are lightly applied teeth.
Mine now.]
no subject
[As if verbally belittling the tiny creature will make it stop. And yet James Moriarty - the most feared name amongst the worst in the world - kept playing with the kitten.]
