Cats

*based off the OTP Ask prompts

"Dammit William!" Nancy grumbles as she spots a new ball of black fur sleeping on top of a counter. She pets the cat as she walks by it, careful to step over the million others as they saunter their way to her, walking between her legs and nuzzling against her as she walks down the hall to her bedroom. She opens the door and her eyes soften at the sight of her beloved husband asleep, a white and orange kitten resting peacefully on top of his chest. 10 cats now they have, and as much as Nancy loved William, they are going to run out of room in the house for these cats. It seems like every week Will brings home a cat or kitten, and while he does sometimes lets them go, most have chosen to stay with them. She has to admit, the cats are a calming presence for both of them. They comfort them when they wake up from a nightmare, when they jump at loud noises, when the other is gone for work.

She takes off her shoes and crawls into the bed, snuggling against William's side and idly petting the kitten, her eyes growing heavy and next thing she knows she's asleep.

They end up with 11 cats the next afternoon.

Stiles: I got him a kitten.

Nancy: Really? Me too!

Daniels: I also got him a cat.

Turner: Looks like we had the same idea.

Zussman: Aiello, please tell me you didn't get Pierson a cat as well!

Aiello: ...I got him a kitten.

Pierson, in his apartment surrounded by cats and kittens: This is the best birthday ever!
