-• Neko POV •-
Tamarin has been acting strange lately.. she's been putting off sleep, like she fears something about it, and she doesn't wake up in the same spot she had fallen asleep before. One morning, Neko could have sworn she saw blood on her hoodie. I just hope she's ok.. Neko sighed as she scrolled through the news on her phone, holding breakfast in the opposite paw. "More innocents found dead this morning; Possible cereal killer?" Oh great, more minors, dead. There's been like 10 killed the same way, a hole punctured all the way through the victims midsection, and only now they're suspecting a pattern? Damn these people are slow. What was really creepy was the fact that all the crime scenes were within a 3 mile radius to where they lived.

Neko's ear twitched as she heard the groan of her lover waking up from sleeping (seemingly in an uncomfortable way to just anyone) leaned against the windowsill, her arms being her pillow and her knees her only support. She had originally fell asleep on the couch last night. "Mornin' Tami.." She smiled as the slightly taller cat rose to her feet to stretch. "Hnng.. Mornin..." Tamarin yawned and waddled her way over to Neko, leaning over her shoulders from behind with a tired purr. "Did you go sleepwalking again..?" She set her poptart down and turned to face the other who nodded in response. She didn't really believe it was sleepwalking since it had just started happening recently and she's never done it in the past, but this was the best answer Neko could hold onto to keep herself from over thinking it. "More dead, huh?" Tamarin noded to Neko's phone which was still on, tilted up to the ceiling without current use. "Oh, ya.."

"Another one bites the dust~" she hummed jokingly, trying to make light of the slow morning. "Heh, that's bad to joke about Tami." She swivled her chair around to face Tamarin completely with a smile. "I know, but who doesn't like a little bit of dark humor?" Tamarin seemed to stare off at a non-existent person as she said this and Neko gave a slight giggle.

The two cats continued to share a few dark jokes to eachother, each a bit darker then the last, but ironically bringing light to their morning. "Hey wanna go somewhere fun today?" Tamarin leaned on the counter dangerously close to Neko's face, causing her face to heat up slightly. "Uhm.. Like where?"
"I don't know, just somewhere really fun~" She purred, obviously she wanted it to surprise Neko. "Fine, this better be worth it though and not some trip to the dump this time." Neko touched noses with Tamarin who immediately gasped dramatically in defense. "Hey- It's not my fault the maps here suck! And besides, we found some pretty cool shit in that junk yard! Man people throw away good shit sometimes for no reason." She crossed her arms. "Also- I know this place like the back of my hand now, there's no way we can get lost like that again!" Neko luaghed, "Ok ok, fine. We can go." Tamarin let out a little "yes" and pumped her fists in the air in victory. "You'll love it I swear."

Neko had been dragged off to a medow off the side of town, the grass swayed in the fresh breeze that was aloud to blow freely across the plains unlike how it was choked by the dry every-day polution that filled half the town. "It's beautiful out here..!" Neko gasped with stars taking over her eyes in awe. "Told you you'd love it~" she purred smugly putting her paws on either side of neko, resting her head on her shoulder. "Pfft.. Just sit down." She smiled at Tamarin who immediately wrapped her arms around neko and fell backwards. Neko gave a small yowle of surprise while the other cat luaghed. "You're coming down with me-" neko turned and punched her shoulder, not hard but with enough force to be felt. "Asshole.. Warn me next time!" She let out a huff just as Tamarin sat up and turned to loom over Neko, one hand firmly planted to the ground on either side her head. Neko was trapped! "Your cute when you're mad and all, you know that..?" Tamarin teased causing Neko to blush a bit. "Oh shut up."
"You know you love me~"
"I do.." She looked away with a huff.

Later that day they came home covered in grass and their fur both equally messed up. (I'm sure you can guess what happened..) "So was that fun..?" Tamarin stretched giving a loving side gase to Neko who waddled her way to the couch. "Heh.. Ya." She sighed cuddling a pillow. They decided eating icecream and binge watching Netflix would do good to finnish off their day, falling asleep cuddled next to eachother.

Neko woke up alone that next morning, a note lay'd beside her where her lover had been before.
