YOUR POV
It was quite an uneventful night so far. Nothing out of the usual happened. Jake had been driving people around the busiest bars and clubs in the city, dealt with a few overly drunk people and even been hit on by someone who actually took a moment to look at their taxi driver. 
Maybe it was flattering, he didn’t care. Jake had you. No one else mattered. In fact, he couldn’t wait for the late shift to end so he could go home back to you. That was his favourite place on this entire planet. Despite how doubt in the beginning, Jake had fallen for you and man had he fallen hard. He had no problem admitting his love for you. He might’ve seemed like a tough and stoic, emotionless man that when it came to you, it was the furthest thing from the truth. 
Everything about the night changed when he was standing in an alleyway, leaning against a brick wall with a cigarette hanging from his lips. The wall offered him some shield from the icy wind and that way his car wouldn’t smell of cigarettes. He was trying to quit. Right now though, he felt the need to stretch his legs and uphold an old habit. 
Then he heard it. A tiny peep from the dumpster that at first sounded like it came from a children’s toy. It was loud enough to catch Jake’s attention though. When he heard another one, much stronger this time, he realized it resembled a meow. 
Jake furrowed his brows, confusion settling in his mind as he abandoned his spot from against the wall. In one swift move, he tossed the cigarette on the ground, stepped on it and then walked toward the metal box that smelled like rotten eggs. Hadn’t it been so cold already, the alley would’ve surely been swarming with flies. 
He couldn’t believe what he was doing as he grabbed the edges of the dumpster, lifting it up and meeting that horrid stench. Jake narrowed his eyes and peeked inside the trash, seeing bags upon bags, pizza boxes and even a bike without tires inside there. Then he saw a bag that was moving. The bag had a small hole on it that looked like had been torn by something sharp inside the dumpster. The bag was on top of everything else so spotting it was easy. 
Jake kept the lid open with one arm as he reached it to grab the green, plastic bag. The moment he lifted it, the creature within squirmed around and let out a cry that tugged at his heartstrings. Whoever had thrown this animal away like a piece of trash was a shit human being. The thought alone made Jake’s blood boil.
As soon as Jake had the bag, he closed the lid and knelt on the cold, dirty ground. Without wasting more time, he ripped the plastic open and revealed what had been in there all along. A tiny kitten was in there, its every little limb trembling violently. It was too weak to even try to run away or be afraid of Jake. Instead, it revealed a row of the smallest teeth Jake had ever seen and let out a heartbreaking row of meows. The midnight black fur was dirty and even in the dark, Jake could tell it was infested with fleas. Poor thing. It couldn’t be more than ten weeks old. So new to life and it had already met such cruelty. 
The kitten looked up at Jake with amber eyes, speaking louder than words ever could. At that very moment, a decision was made. There was no way Jake could say no to that face. 
                     You had fallen asleep on the couch after watching a few episodes of a new show on Netflix. No matter how many times the boys told you you didn’t have to stay up and wait for them to come home, you couldn’t help but try. Falling asleep in the bed next to them was always better than sleeping alone. Dozing off on the couch was something that happened when you simply couldn’t stay up long enough. 
The show had paused on its own, leaving the flat painted in a blueish hue. Jake unlocked the door silently and immediately saw your sleeping form on the couch, Steven’s emerald green blanket just about covering your legs. It was freezing in there but compared to the weather outside, the flat was lovely. 
Jake had the kitten safely against his t-shirt, underneath his jacket to keep her as warm as possible. When he realized he was going to tell you about her, he felt a slight pang of nervousness. Would you be okay with it? What about Marc and Steven? Seeing the huge aquarium in the middle of the flat revealed his alters who were aware of the little furball in Jake’s jacket. They hadn’t said anything yet.
“If you can have pets then so can I,” Jake retorted, deciding your opinion on the matter was more important. Besides, how could anyone say no this this kitten? Was he just supposed to leave it be? That couldn’t be right...
“Jake?” You muttered, still half asleep. A smile grew on your face as you realized he was home but your eyes stayed closed, full of sleep. He thought you were absolutely adorable. 
“Good morning, cariño,” Jake lowered himself on the floor next to the couch, bringing his free hand to caress your arm gently.
“Morning, baby,” You sighed deeply, trying to open your eyes despite how awfully bright the lights seemed. The moment you saw Jake, you could tell something was up. Why did he have his arm sticking into his coat like that? 
“There’s someone you should meet,” Jake began suspiciously, now feeling the kitten beginning to move around more. She had fallen asleep earlier when he was driving, as if she actually enjoyed the car ride. Strange little thing. Jake had feared the roar of the engine would scare her furthermore.
“What?” You blinked the weariness out of your eyes, Jake’s words making you think he had brought a person to the flat at this ungodly hour. What was it? Three in the morning? The wooden alarm clock on the bookshelf revealed as much.
Before you could worry about it, Jake pulled the kitten out of his coat, holding her with two hands even though she fit snugly into the palm of one. The kitten’s paws struck out between Jake’s fingers and she lifted her wobbly head, taking in the surroundings. She meowed again, as if to say hello although she was most likely trying to ask for something. 
“Jake...”
“I found her in a dumpster,” Jake explained quickly, too quickly. He felt oddly defensive even though no one had given him a reason to feel that way.
“What on earth? Really?!” You were shocked, no longer caring about how tired you were when you saw the adorable little creature in your boyfriend’s hands. How could anyone do that to something so precious? 
“Couldn’t just leave her there,” Jake shrugged, ever so carefully petting the kitten with his thumb, “so I took her with me. Stopped at a shop to grab stuff for her. She has fleas. Look-”
The sight should’ve probably disgusted you, seeing the tiny fleas on the kitten when Jake separated the fur ever so slightly. But all you felt was pity. A need to get those fleas out of that fur as soon as possible. 
You also felt love. You were already deeply and madly in love with Jake but seeing him caring for such a vulnerable, tiny creature caused another kind of adoration to bloom in your chest. The sight of him holding the kitten right in front of you with that look in his eyes, silently begging you to be okay with this was too much. Who would’ve thought Jake Lockley was a cat person? 
“Let’s see what you got,” You pushed the blanket off you and stood up, physically feeling your heart melting when Jake smiled. His smiles were always precious. This one was particularly cute because of the cat accompanying him. 
“You’ll feel better soon, little one,” You told the kitten as if she could understand you. At that moment, Jake relaxed a little bit. He knew he could count on you to help him care for this kitten. He had fallen in love with you because of how much love you had to give. You were so kind and patient, it was hard not to love someone with such qualities. 
                       After bathing her and getting rid of the dozens of fleas that had made a home in her dark fur, feeding her and making a little bed with blankets and a heating pad, the sun was already rising outside.The vet nearby would open up soon. You and Jake could’ve gone to bed but you found it impossible to leave the kitten’s side. Now that she was sleeping, she looked happy and much healthier already. 
There was no way you would be able to give her away. The attachment was already there. 
You had just become cat parents, although you hadn’t really thought out all the details yet. There was an unspoken agreement lingering in the air. 
Jake had his arm wrapped over your shoulder as you snuggled up to him, resting your head against his chest as you kept glancing at the kitten and completely failing to focus on the television show Jake had put on. Trailing off to sleep would’ve been tempting under other circumstances. Right now, you wanted to stay up and keep an eye on the cat. There were so many questions running through your mind.
“What should we call her?” You wondered, resting your hand on Jake’s lap because it was comfortable. He was so warm and you loved it. Who needed a blanket when Jake was right there?
“We’re really doing this?” Jake wanted this, he wanted to keep the cat. He hadn’t really consulted the guys yet. 
“I think we should,” You nodded as you spoke, “who else will take care of her? Also she likes you.” That much was true. The cat, or el gato as Jake had called her a few times now, was clearly obsessed with Jake. She had stopped screaming in the bath when Jake held her. At one point, even while being covered in dead fleas, she started purring because you handed her to Jake. It was a small purr but you swore you heard it. You couldn’t blame her.
All of a sudden, Jake heard Steven speaking up for the first time that night. His alter’s reflection was on the mirror nearby, revealing that he was looking at the kitten. Marc was there too. He seemed quite amused. 
“What if... what if she eats the fish?!” 
Jake bit his tongue, not wanting to upset Steven if that was a genuine worry of his. He had a few remarks in mind that could’ve been funny. This wasn’t the time. 
“She won’t eat the fish,” Jake was convinced of the fact. He was willing to bet on it. 
You couldn’t hear Steven but hearing one side of the conversation revealed enough to make you smile. It would’ve been interesting to hear what Steven and Marc had to say about everything too. For now, you decided to just listen to Jake. He would fill you in if needed. The four of you had a way to make these conversations work. 
Marc decided to stir the pot a little bit, “I don’t know. Cats love fish, don’t they?” 
“Hey!” Steven pouted. He didn’t actually seem sad, just ever so slightly worried. Steven would’ve been lying if he said he wanted to get rid of the cat. Not that he showed it, but he couldn’t wait to front so he could officially meet the kitten. She really needed a name. He was thinking of a handful of options he could suggest. Would Bastet be too cheesy? 
“Does Steven think she’ll eat Gus and Gus?” You raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction Jake’s coffee coloured irises were glued to. The reflection only revealed you cuddled up to Jake’s side. No matter how long you had been together, the sight made you swoon. You couldn’t believe how lucky you were to be there in such a wonderful relationship. 
“Mmhmm,” Jake confirmed, “seems like I’ve brought a vicious beast home, mi vida. Maybe we’ll need a cage,” he joked. They were just like that. There were no ill intentions, you all knew that. 
“Steven, my love. Look at her! Does that look like the face of a killer?” 
Steven knew you couldn’t see him but he flashed a toothy smile either way, happy that you acknowledged him. He had missed you. It had been a long day. 
“Smart move showing the cat to her first, Jake,” Marc commented, “You knew she would fall.” 
“Don’t you want her?” Jake needed to know.
Marc and Steven exchanged glances. Neither of them said no. That was a start.
“I mean we can keep her for now and see what happens,” Marc gave in vaguely. He tried so hard to be rational when everyone else loved the furry creature already, but it wasn’t really working. Within minutes, Marc was already fond of the cat. The responsibility would’ve terrified him a few months ago but now he was ready to face that with you by his side. 
“I suppose she is kind of cute, isn’t she?” Steven admitted defeat. That was easy. “Besides Y/N adores her already. I wouldn’t dream of taking that joy away from her.”
Great. They all agreed on something for once. 
A particularly loud meow caught everyone’s attention. Little kitty in the basket had woken up and she was hungry again. Just after one feeding, she sounded much stronger already. That was a relief to hear. 
“Duty’s calling,” You poked Jake’s side, more than excited to help him feed her. Something about it felt so domestic. It was so pure and working together to care for another life was certainly going to be a bonding experience. One you were all looking forward to.
