SPOILER!!: Heath & Rey! <3 Quote:

Any other time, he would've said hello to the little creature, but now he was a bit distracted by Rey's claws digging into him. He winced but did not let go, knowing he was the only thing stopping his scavenger cat from making a quarter portion out of the rat. Poor rat, he thought. It's no fun when someone bigger picks on you, is it?
Something about this gave him a strange sense of deja vu, but it took him a moment to remember why. This reminded him of that COMC lesson last term when he got clawed protecting Rey from the wampus kittens. Now he summoned that same instinct that protected Rey to protect the rat from her. "Rey, you don't want to hurt Claudine's pet," he said in a calm, commanding voice. "He's a friend, not food." Rey's big blue eyes blinked up at him, but he knew the calm wouldn't last long. He was no Jedi, and Rey was too smart to fall for any mind tricks.
Heath was so focused on keeping Rey away from the rat that he almost didn't hear Claudine say she shouldn't be here. His face fell. "Don't go," he blurted out before he could stop himself. Realizing too late just how pathetic he sounded, he corrected himself, "I mean, you don't have to go. I'll put Rey back in her carrier." The only problem with that idea was he couldn't keep his hold on the cat while closing the compartment door. "Would you close the door, please?" He'd do it himself but… cat.
Like Heath, Claudine was super worried about the cat pouncing. In her mind, she kept hearing ‘any second now’ and it soon became a mantra. This caused her to take a few more steps backwards. Maybe if she moved slowly, the cat wouldn’t attack. The girl was sure she wasn’t imagining it but the small lump in her pocket that was Samm was now quivering even more. Oh no. That was not a good sign. The poor rat must be up to his tiny ears in anxiety. Her free hand found its way into the pocket to touch the warm form. She attempted to soothe the rat by rubbing his furry head. Even as this was done, she could hear Heath whispering to the cat. The feline seemed to be listening to him too but would that last long?
Yes, it was best that she go.
Claudine had almost turned on her heels when Heath’s surprising outburst stopped her. And what was that facial expression all about? It was possible that she had imagined it all. “You have her carrier here or do you need to go to the luggage compartment to get it?’’ The Snakette was relieved for the solution because she realised just then that she wouldn’t mind spending the duration of the trip in Heath’s company. The realisation definitely took her by surprise. “Um…? Door? Yes, I’ve got it covered.’’ Flustered by what she had just figured out, Claudine crossed the space that she had but between herself and Heath to close the door. Her hand returned to her pocket to comfort Samm. “Sorry for inconveniencing you, Heath.’’ |
