Reader x Trickster Nepeta: Give Up

"Beclaws I love mew!" she blushed awkwardly.

"Not good enough." you murmured, walking over to the stove at your apartment, taking some oatmeal off the counter. "Want sugar on yours?" you set the pot down and sealed Tac's cocaine in a bag, putting it on the highest shelf.

"Please." she sighed, tail drooping.

"Oh come on, it shouldn't be that hard. After sacrificing the bully to the volcano I think you can quit cocaine."  you sprinkled some sugar lightly on her oatmeal, setting a bowl in front of her with a spoon. "So this is your breakfast."

"Reminds me of cocaine." she hissed.

"How?" you quirked a brow, ringing a bell. "Simi! Breakfast!" you called as the Siamese cat trotted over to her bowl, lapping up milk delicately. 

"The sugar is white. Cocaine's white. This oatmeal is the thickness of the cocaine I'd make for breakfast some days."

"How does someone have cocaine oatmeal?" the thought of it grossed you out, but Tac merely flicked her tail dismissively, and you sighed. "Right. Well, I need to take Simi out for a walk. Cats need air too. Wanna come with us?" you looked Tac over before going to put a light jacket on. "Tac?" you questioned again after not hearing a reply from the cat. You groaned and walked back to the small kitchen area, and her face was in the bowl of oatmeal. "Lovely." you griped, standing next to the troll. "C'mon Tac, are you coming or not?"

"mmmmph."

"Mew." Simi padded over and licked Tac's fallen hand, and she lifted her head out of the creamy breakfast. You handed her a towel and she wiped her face, leering at you. 

"I said no. I just wanna stay here."

"Mew!" Simi puffed her tail up and hissed.

"What's the cat's problem?"

"I think she thinks you're gonna try and get the cocaine."

"Damn that cat is smart-" Tac covered her mouth. 

"That's it, you're coming with me." you forcefully grabbed Tac's wrist and put a leash on Simi, taking the both of them outside. "Two cats, what a handful." you rolled your eyes and sat on a bench, tightening your grip on Tac's wrist, much to her dismay. As a few people walked by, some chattered away on their phones, others looked confusedly at the three of you, and one person flung a quarter at you, as if you were homeless. 

"Mew are so dead." Tac shook her fist at the man, and you slapped her hand down.

"Shush." you hissed, crossing you arms and letting go of her wrist. As if it was a switch, Tac hopped up and ran from you, heading towards a dark alleyway. "Oh god..." you winced, tugging Simi's leash lightly as you ran after Tac, following her steps wasn't as easy as you thought, she was fast.

After running for a while, you saw her talking to a guy, and you hid behind the corner, your and Simi's head peeking out to stare at the watermelon troll. 

"It's horrible Chad!" she whined, tail swishing.

"I can't quit it, I need my cocaine! A-and ___ took my money fur you, and hid my last bit of it! Purrlease Chad, one shot! J-Just one!" she frowned, tears brimming in her eyes. This 'Chad' guy shook his head fiercely, and shoved Tac backwards. Hard. She yelped and fell against the pavement, and you thought heard a crack noise, but it was simply her hand. Simi's tail immediately went up, bristled. You let go of her leash, and Simi's tail swished.

"Rrrroowwwww..." she hissed, pouncing on Chad. You took the importunity at hand and rushed over to Tac, helping her up and running to a nearby bench, sitting her on that as she cried.

"I'll be right back, Tac. I swear." you kissed her forehead apologetically and ran back to the alleyway, pulling Simi off of the dealer, even though she was still spitting and growling at him. "No Simi, he's learned his lesson!" she murmured to your cat as Chad, now covered in scars, ran off screaming for his mom.

"We're coming back for you Tac!" you called, fixing Simi's leash before walking back over to Tac, who was still sobbing. "It's okay, sweetie, your 'bitchie' is here..." you soothed, helping Tac up and walking her back to your apartment. Tac sat down on the soft couch and Simi crawled into her lap, purring sympathetically. 

"Th-thank mew ___, Simi." Tac breathed, and smiled at you awkwardly. "I'm sorry fur that, I just felt like it was needed. Like a hit-me-up, mew know?"

"No, and I don't care to." you mused, handing her a chocolate bar. "Try this." 

Tac nibbled at it before making a face at you. You snapped your fingers and a light bulb went off over your head.

"Be right back." you walked over to the refrigerator, taking out a watermelon juicebox and a few strawberries, organizing them in a bowl before returning to Tac. She greedily took them both, downing the juice within fifteen seconds and finishing off the strawberries within a minute. Simi's ears flattened once a strawberry stem landed on her head, and you laughed. "Look Simi, you have a hat." you murmured, and she mewed defiantly, shaking if off. 

Tac and you laughed, and you held her hand, kissing it. "You okay now?" you asked her, smiling.

"Am I off cocaine?" she smirked lightly, kissing you. Simi mewled and hopped off your lap, padding into your bedroom. 

After you broke the kiss, Tac purred and winked at you. "I found something more addictive than cocaine." you groaned at her pun and kissed her again, just to shut her up. Or maybe it was simply because you really, truly, love her.
