(Eheheheh awe. Have a nice day.)
Lucifer looked around at the fish and other big animals, but they soon stumbled across a second guinea pig. This one was asleep in its cage, but woke up when they approached, raising its large head. Lucifer smiled and reached out to pet it.
Scipio knelt down beside a cage that had a small black cat, petting it through the bars.
Lucifer noticed Scipio vanish from his sight and turned around. "A cat?" He asked softly, walking over. It was so tiny.
"Yeah." The cat purred and leaned its head into Scipio's hand as Scipio had done with Lucifer earlier.
"Do you want it?" He asked gently, watching it purr and ask for more pets. His lips twitched a little at the motion.
"…Kinda.." Scipio said quietly, scratching behind the cat's ears.
"Well then we can get it," He said simply, opening the cage which was unlocked. "Go in and get it."
Scipio hesitated before going in and picking up the cat, which curled up contentedly in his arms. He couldn't help but give a small smile at the sight of it.
Lucifer grinned and crossed his arms. "Let's grab it a litter box and some food. Come on, Scipio." He stuck his arm out to help the other.
Scipio followed Lucifer, holding the cat close. "I hope he doesn't try to kill the frogs…" He mused quietly, looking at the cat food.
"He definitely will," Lucifer assured only to mess with him. He grabbed a couple bowls and a littler box, letting Scipio pick out food and litter.
Scipio put the cat on his shoulders and picked up a couple bags of food and litter. The cat purred happily, stretching out his paws.
Lucifer watched the cat curiously. "So are you gonna keep it in your room? And just carry it around with you wherever you go?" He asked as they walked up to the front.
"Yep." Scipio set the food on the counter and got it checked out, petting the cat gently.
The Demon at the counter checked them out and gave everything to Lucifer, who thanked them and walked out of the store. "Let's take him home, then."
Scipio nodded, grinning. "I'll call him Ragno. That's spider in Italian." Ragno purred and curled his tail around Scipio's arm.
"He's your little spider," He cooed jokingly, gently grabbing Scipio's arm and leading him through the crow d again.
"Careful! I'm holding things." Scipio huffed, but allowed Lucifer to lead him anyways. He made sure Ragno stayed on his shoulders the whole time.
"I'm sorry, Scipio, I just don't want to lose you. It'd suck to have to walk around and find you. I think you'd rather me hold on to you. Besides, I know you like it."
Scipio looked away, his blush returning. "What? N-No I don't…" He said quietly. Ragno batted at a stray strand of Scipio's hair.
Lucifer just chuckled and rubbed circles into his arm. "I know you do. Don't even tell me otherwise." He brought him to his gates and opened them up, pulling Scipio in gently and shutting them. "There you go. You're free to go up without me."
"Are you going somewhere else?" Scipio looked up at Lucifer, confused. He walked backwards a few steps.
"No. I'm just going up there, and so are you. I was basically just saying you're free to walk back into the house with me." He held the gates shut with his hand.
"Oh…" Scipio stayed close to Lucifer anyways, walking alongside him. He still had to keep a pretty fast pace to keep up with Lucifer.
Lucifer grunted and trotted along a bit quicker, opening the door for him. "Do you want me to drop all this stuff off in your room and let you get settled in with it?"
"My room's fine." Scipio led the way to it and pushed open the door. He set his bags on the ground and moved Ragno to his arms.
Lucifer set the other things down he was holding, watching the human shift the cat around. He sighed and turned on his heel, trotting out of the room back to his own to let the pair settle in.
Scipio sat down on the floor, not seeming to notice Lucifer's absence. He pet Ragno for a few minutes before setting up a cat tree and the litter box, as well as the food and water bowls.
Lucifer sat on the bed, sighing and looking up. Now that Scipio had taken all of the animals from his room, he didn't have anything to do. And now that the other had an animal of his own, he was just sort of lonely. Was he jealous? No! What an absurd thing to suggest.
Scipio set Ragno on the cat tree and made sure the lid of the terrarium was tightly shut. Once he was sure, he made his way to Lucifer's room and knocked on the door.
