who: @thrcughthewccds

where: wonderland

He had decided he would have a lazy day before he had even rolled out of bed that morning. Though if he were honest he often decided that he would be lazy, at times for weeks on end. He found himself wandering down different paths in wonderland taking in the fresh air and the pretty flowers that seemed to pop up anywhere and everywhere. He struggled to not pounce on each of them but he kept himself quite in control a feat for any cat.

His tail high in the air he bounded down the path until he came upon one of his favorite companions. Jules was quite pretty and they were endless entertainment for the cat. Normally he would shift to his human form upon finding one of his fellow wonderland residents but he found himself rather enjoying his cat form and decided he would stay that way for awhile. He wound himself through the legs on his companion meowing insistently until he gained their attention. Jules would be used to his antics by now so he hoped they would know exactly what he wanted. Reaching up he swiped a paw at their leg meowing once more for good measure to ensure he had their attention.

"I am the laziest of cats you know me so well Jules. If you're offering to do all the work you know I won't argue." He gave Jules his most winning smile as he moved to stand closer to them. "You always make me feel flustered when you flirt with me. You're too pretty I think that's the problem."

Jules tsks affectionately as they light a homemade candle.

"Lazy little kitty. You expect me to do all the work? I suppose you'll want me to undress and bathe you too?"

Not that Jules would mind, so long as it meant more intimate times with the man.

Jasper couldn't stop the pout that came to his lips as Jules slipped away from him. He had been set to pounce on the other as soon as he was able and Jules seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse with him.

"You look like a treat but I suppose let me try this cake if you insist that it is delicious." He sighed before grinning and taking the offered cake smelling it before taking a small bite from it.

"Neverland is a pretty place though not as pretty as Wonderland. Your cake is very tasty. Everything you make is tasty though. I think I shall just laze about for a long while and pester you and eat your cooking. Truly lean into my cat nature." He would go weeks just lazing about others homes if he was able to. He hated tending to himself.

Jules laughs at the adorable ridiculousness of the cat.

"I suppose I'll have to make it up to you with giving you my full attention."

They run a hand up the front of Jasper's shirt, clearly insinuating how they might give him their attention.

Then they step away, placing the basket on their work table.

"I do have a treat, though I've only tested it on myself. I haven't figured out how to make the effects last longer than a few seconds yet, but it is still delicious nonetheless."

They pick up the small bit of cake and offer it to Jasper.

"Managed to smuggle a pinch of a substance called pixie dust from an island called Neverland. My hope is to make something that while you are caught up in the bliss of my herbs, you may physically lift up as well. Truly feel weightless."

Jasper always thrived in the attention Jules offered him. They were like sunshine and as a cat he of course wanted to bask in their presence. He grinned as he allowed Jules to drag him along wrapping them up in his arms as much as he could while still walking down the path. He adored them more than most and so they were bothered by him more than most as well.

"It was very much your mistake Jules. Never presume you can do anything at the same time that you are with me. Your pretty words will make up for your mistake though. I can't stay annoyed with you." He skipped along down the path and let himself in the others home dragging them along with him. "You're exceptionally pretty today Jules. Do you have any treats for me?"

Jules chuckles and shakes their head. They pluck one last leaf from the bush then wraps their arm around Jasper's.

"I wasn't denying you attention, dear Jasper," they say, leading the cat back to their abode. "But I suppose it was my mistake to even consider splitting my attention between you and my work."

They lean over and press a kiss to Jasper's cheek.

"I always miss you, Jas," they say. "No one appreciates me like you do. And I cannot appreciate anyone like I can you, beautiful feline."

Jasper was happy to allow them to place him on their shoulder. A purr rumbling through him as he rubbed up against their face. Jules was always so pretty and they were a source of endless delight for Jasper. He had planned to stay a cat throughout his visit with Jules but the other simply spoke too much for that. He did not speak in his cat form as he found it more enjoyable to simply meow at everyone until they were beyond frustrated with him.

Jumping from their shoulder he shifted to his human form with a grin reaching out to grab the others hand to hold with his own. It was his thing after all. He liked to hold hands regardless of who he was with.

"My dearest Jules do you think I will behave because you tempt me? I shall try to hurry you endlessly until you take me home and give me the tea you've promised. You cannot promise a cat attention and then tell them to be patient." He allowed his lips to fall into a pout as he gave Jules his saddest eyes. "Have you missed me then? You're looking pretty as always."

Jules is out picking wild herbs and plants. They could attempt to grow them themselves, but those never carry the same potency.

Of course, they can never truly have a quiet day in Wonderland. They recognize the cat immediately, and they chuckle with a shake of their head.

"Always so needy," they mutter but pick up the cat all the same. Placing him on their shoulder, they continue their foraging.

"It's been some time," they say, rubbing their cheek against the soft fur. "If you're patient, I'll take you home and make you some tea. We can catch up and help get some of this restless energy out of you."

They smirk at the insinuation and continue carefully picking leaves, stems, and roots.
