cat or human?

The cold wind was chilling and they went into the apartment. Thunder was still nervous, what was going to happen now? Is Timmy going to ask something? What if he answers incorrectly and doesn't like it? And what will happen?..

They sat down on the bed. One still can't calm down, and the other is going to say something. «So you have to ask.. And what exactly?»,suddenly this stream of thoughts was activated in his .«Why did he live here and pretend to be a cat?», «How was the cat food?Delicious?», «Why is it shaking?» and much more. As soon as he began to speak, the words got mixed up, confused, forgotten.But his formulated the question anyway and started:

—So...Um, how did you turn into a cat in the first place?This is some kind of.. A superpower?

—well.. Not really an ability, I just imagine myself as a cat and become one, and vice versa. 

—Wow!- Redhead replied in surprise - and where did you get this from? Was he born like this?- the questions seemed rude to him and finally added - sorry, it's just terribly interesting. 

—Nothing, nothing, I was born like this..

—so the rodaks are like that? Emaa

—Am..They are not there, that's why I lived on the street-at the end heard a nervous laugh and the same smile on his face.

«Is he smiling? Seriously?»Timm was in cultural shock. He looked at the floor, considering what to say. I don't think the first answer that comes along will do, it will be either a joke or a joke

—sorry, - muttered the cat in a guilty voice, - I probably shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry.

He pulled back a little and tensed up. His tail wrapped around his legs, and his ears pressed against his head. Ginger has already fully convinced himself that this guy is harmless. Eyes on the floor, sad look and similar things. A strange feeling suddenly flared up in his chest. The desire to do something, so that he would not feel so anxious, increased and exceeded the one hundred percent frame.

— can you tell me more about it? 

At these words, Thunder shuddered and mumbled

—what?.. 

— well.. It might make you feel better if you tell...- His had to pull the words out of myself.

To be honest, he's interested in getting to know this half-cat. Where did he get this ability from? Why was he left alone? Why was he going to leave right away? Maybe Timmy just wanted to have a normal conversation? Okay, didn't want to, but still, in a good scenario, it could have been. 

Thunder shivered slightly, should he speak or not speak?«tell , there's nothing to lose.»His gaze became more serious and stared at the redhead.

— it's a long story.. 

—I'll listen,- Timm interrupted and put his hand on his shoulder.-The whole night is still in

The smile that appeared on the interlocutor's face relaxed the earwig.Take a deep breath and he started talking.

— in my family, this ability is passed down from generation to generation. As you can see, it is completely useless, it also hinders, but there is one feature in it-he paused, gathered his strength-the owner of the ability will die at the age of 65. And that's the problem. 

— What's the problem? 

— In what problem?...Imagine you wake up every day knowing your date of death and approaching it slowly, but at the same time quickly. - he was angry and at the same time tried to speak calmly- You can't forget, because everyone reminds you. - at the end, the voice was trembling.

— Oh.. 

— Some people didn't put up with it. My uncle told me that half of the family just ended their lives. Those who didn't dare to do it, just waited for them to die.

There room a pause in the room. 

— But..Were there those who didn't care about the deadline? Surely there can't be a whole clan of pessimists and suicidal people?

- Such continued this kind. But still more pessimists-he said with a grin, but suddenly his voice changed-and they hated those who had children. If one of the family members turned them on, then they were attacked with such hatred.- the voice became even sadder and was already at the level of a whisper - I don't understand... For what?... for what?...the parents and..

He tried to hold back the tears, but he couldn't. Timm hugged him. The redhead felt that he might have a tantrum, or even worse. He feels a lot, emotions, feelings, but not his own, but others'.From the unexpected hugs, tears began to flow from the cat, in rapid streams down his cheeks. He buried his face in his shoulder and tried to calm down. It was sad and anxious at the same time, but at the same time calmness slowly came. Redhead was silent, in fact, he did not even understand what he had done at first. It came out as if on automatic.

— sorry..- He muttered softly

— your voice is still shaking- the guy noticed, looked at how the cat burrowed deeper into his shoulder.

— s-sorry..

— why are you apologizing? 

There was no response. Well and good, the Thunder began to calm down. The redhead felt it, but already physically. He felt his breathing become even, the trembling slowly went away, the quiet, no, very quiet sobs stopped. An inexplicable shiver ran through his body, and then a layer of goosebumps from head to toe. The head came off his shoulder and turned away.

— I'm sorry about that.. I just-

—it's okay-at the end he smiled again

«How can he smile after that?.. I thought he would be angry or scarier.»

— Can we go to sleep? 

— Eh?.. 

— it's one o'clock in the morning-saying this, the phone showed the time:1:17. 

— Wow..He turned and looked at the time. 

— So, um.. 

— let's go. 

Timm opened his arms and Grom got up, heading for the exit of the room, but at the very door he heard a question.

— will you sleep on the couch? 

— mg-after a second he added-good night. 

— Good night. 

After that, he went out, leaving Timm alone with his thoughts. Lying on the bed, he thought about what was going on right now. Everything happened abruptly and incomprehensibly for him. Her cheeks burned with a strange fire, and thoughts appeared one after another. «This guy is weird», «I shouldn't have gone to drink water», «his ears are cute», «NO.». Will the night be calm, but will it be calm for him?
