Vet Clinic

(Levar Point of View)

Once we get to the vet clinic, I head right inside, still holding the kitten close to me. I walk up to the front desk. 

"Hi. I found this kitten and I want to make sure everything is alright and if I can keep it." I know I should ask Asaka first but right now I want to make sure the kitten is healthy. Hopefully, Asaka understands. 

"We can do that. What is your name?" She looks over at her computer as she does a few things.

"Levar."

"Alright. When we have someone ready, they will take the kitten." She looks back at me. 

"Thank you."

I go to sit down when Asaka walks inside. I wonder what she was doing. I did think she was close behind me and she wouldn't just be entering now. We sit down next to each other as I start to play with the kitten again. After all, I don't want him to hate being here or be scared. Plus, he seems to like being played with like this.

Once I was called I thought we would be able to go in but we can't. They just take the kitten and leave. Why did they take the kitten? Do they not trust me? I want to know how the kitten is. Why did they just take him? What was the point of that? Is this normal? Did I say something wrong? Do they know something? Did I do something wrong? Why did they take the kitten? Why? Is this normal? I wasn't paying attention but I don't see why this would be. I want to see how he is doing. 

I feel a hand on my shoulder. I look over and I see Asaka. Does she need something? Or have something to tell me? Could she see how nervous I am about all of this? Am I that easy to read? I look up at her. She smiles at me.

"Do you want to hold me until the kitten gets back?"

I nod my head before holding onto her. I feel her hold me back. I'm so nervous. I want to know if the kitten is okay. I don't know why they took him away from me. I want to make sure that he is alright. I know I don't own him and I should ask but I can't right now. I want to know how the kitten is doing. I want to see him. I feel her take a deep breath before holding me closer. I wonder if Asaka feels the same way. She does seem very caring so she might and she did drive me here without questioning so she might be. I wonder if that is what the deep breath was for, to keep her calm. I guess she must see a lot from her job so she is used to hiding how she feels. I should just relax and wait. I should be able to do that. Plus, being in Asaka's arms feels so nice and safe.

After a while, we were allowed to see the kitten. I head back into the room. I don't know how long it had been as I was just relaxing him Asaka's arms. I see the kitten is wearing a jacket by the looks of it but he is asleep which is good. I look up at the veterinarian as I walk up to him. 

"How is he?"

"Well from the looks of it, he is a runt that was abandoned. I did give him a few things to keep him alive but you will need to feed him a certain formula until he can eat solid food." He was abandoned? I know that nature isn't the best and part of me understands but he is just a kitten. I wonder what was given to him. Wait, he was a runt. He looks quite big for a runt but then again I have never seen a kitten before or a cat really.

"What is wrong with him?" 

"He was overworking his body and by the looks of it, never got the right care from his mother." Was that my fault? He was running around a lot and I was chasing him, so was that my fault he was so overworked? How could I? He is just a kitten.

"Can we take him home yet?"

"Yes, you can. I will just need to grab a few things for you." The veterinarian leaves the room and I feel Asaka walk up to me.

"You really want to keep that kitten, don't you?"

"I do. Can we?"

"Yes, we can. I already have the stuff for him at home but if he needs special food, I don't, so we will have to see."

She does? She is amazing. "Thank you so much." I hug her close as she hugs me back. I'm so happy that she will let me keep the kitten and she has what we need for a kitten. I am so glad that wanted to get closer to me.

Wait, I have actually been hugging her. Our relationship is getting better and I'm not scared of her but I was also just scared of her because I thought she was a serial killer and not a police officer so as long as she doesn't find out what I know, we should be good. Plus, I don't just say that stuff anyway and I don't want to mess this up. This is all nice. I don't want to lose this. It's been a while since I have had any kind of friendship or even a hug. I guess I am touch starved. Maybe I should hug her more.

Wait. I should check on the kitten. I pull out of the hug slightly and Asaka lets me go. I see a bag next to the kitten. Did the veterinarian come in without me noticing? It looks like it.

"You can grab the kitten and I will get the bag, alright darling?"

I nod my head slightly, glad that we can go home now. I pick up the still-sleeping kitten. I watch her grab the bag before we both head back out into the car. I sit down in the passenger seat. I buckle up as I look down at the kitten. I start petting him with a small smile. He is so cute and now I can take care of him. Asaka starts the car and I see her looking at me. I guess she wants to make sure that I am ready. She starts driving while I keep my attention on the kitten. I'm glad that he is sleeping well.

As I ride back home with Asaka, I feel myself get tired as I slowly fall asleep. After all, I should be fine. A little nap won't hurt. I can get some sleep with my kitten. Plus, I'm sure that Asaka will wake me up when we get home if I don't wake up before we get home.
