(Jonathan's POV)

After a long day of baseball practice with my new team, I decide to just walk home, because one, my papí is working overtime, second, my brother is studying finals for his first semester in his 2nd year of college.

I understand everyone is busy, I don't mind. So I went to pack up my stuff, change back into my uniform and fix up my hair, spray some cologne, look rather decent when I walk out of the building.

"Good game Jon!" My friend Kaden said patting my shoulder.

"Thanks bro." I smiled softly while organizing my locker a bit just to keep it neat for Monday.

"Your the man Jon!" Some of our junior batters really do see me as a true captain, however some still see me as a little trainee...trust me...you don't wanna mess with me...

We said our goodbyes and I head on home, viewing a lovely sunset near the trees.

It truly is breathtaking...sadly nothing gold could stay long...

I put on my black leather jacket and head down.

Once I made it to my neighborhood...which is pretty small but it's home.

However...something felt a little off...I keep walking and that's when I heard some rattling noises coming from a small dust bin outside in the middle of the sidewalk...

I fear that it's either a rat or a big raccoon...I'm too young to die from rabies.

But until I heard a soft sound...almost resembling something from a cat...

I guess I have no choice but to investigate.

I walked over to the bin and I lift the lid off...and I was right! It's a cat!

It seems to look like an orange cat. Almost into its teen years.

Why would this poor thing be inside a dust bin...?

Looking at the little fella, looking to see that it doesn't have a collar nor a license, which is common for people to contact a missing pet.

Wonder if they still do those...?

"Meow." The cat meowed, looking up at me with those worried looking eyes...

"Hey little fella...what are you doing in this trash can...?" I asked while reaching my  hand towards its nose...but it gave me a soft nuzzle...which was the most adorable thing I've ever seen...I'm not really a big cat person, but maybe this little guy was left out abandoned by some cruel human...why get rid of this cutie...?

"You got a home?" I asked while scratching the back of its head, which it makes that cute satisfying face.

However it jumped on my shoulder which scared me a bit...it appears it doesn't have a home after all...the poor baby...again I'm not used to cats.

"Awww...alright. What do you say we head back to my place, I'll give you a bath and I think my mamí can make something for you, maybe wrap you in a soft blankey." I talked to the sweet cat nuzzling under my neck, I could feel the purring which actually calms me down.

So I continue walking and made it to my house, unlocking the door and placed the cat down, letting it inside the front entrance. "Make yourself at home little fella."

The kitty starts sniffing around, Hmmm..I guess it's getting used to the new scent and new surroundings, which I believe is common for animals.

I went to grab my stuff and head on upstairs to my bedroom, can't wait for the weekends to take care of this adorable cat and just relax in general.

I don't know what name I should give it...so far it's sweet, curious and social.

So far I'll just call it fella. And soon I'll think of a good name based on its personality.

I put my stuff down on my bed...ugh...I need another shower...I never liked using the schools shower...I don't trust it...

I hope the lil fella wouldn't mind waiting for about 10 minutes.

"Hey, I'll be right back fella. I'm gonna take a quick hose off while you explore my room, okay?"

"Meow." It meowed sweetly which means an okay to me! I pat it's little head while I head on over to the bathroom, wash off all the sweat and dirt...

(Sherwin's POV)

*sighs* What a sweet guy, this room looks so cozy and big!

I jumped on the bed and noticed a really soft blanket near me!

Oooh! I placed my paw on it and it's so fluffy!!

I gently paw on it while making soft purring noises...

Hmm...he did say 10 minutes. Maybe he wouldn't mind if I...shift into my human form...

Once I've done so, I start to shiver...

Ugh...Im never a fan of winter... I lean over to grab the blanket and nuzzle it with a gentle hug...however...what's odd about the blanket, is that it has the same scent like the guy...it's a really interesting scent, so rich and sweet. It made me flush red...

*Purrs*

Mmm...I bet his name is as handsome like his face~

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming this way...my ears tilt back as an alert...

"Hey fella I'm back. Don't worry I'm wearing-"

.....

....Oh catnip's....

(Jonathan's POV)

...I have so many questions....number 1....where's lil fella...? Number 2....Why is there a cute naked ginger...who somehow has cat ears and a tail...on my bed...?

Am I going crazy...?

The boy giggled shyly and gave me a gentle wave towards me...

"H-hello sir...um...nice room." He giggled which made me turn red...

...I can't believe this...I immediately shut the door from behind and went to go grab a random shirt and boxers for him the wear...

"Uhhh...are you okay sir...?"

His voice is so soft and sweet...why is it making me feel fuzzy in my stomach...? Don't tell me...I just met the guy damn it!

Stay calm Jonathan...take it slow...you had a busy day...just talk to the guy...

I walked over and handed him my oversize Jersey and black boxers.

I let him put it on...speaking of that...I need to put on my clothes too...

Again...those ears and tail...it resembled little fella...even the orange hair...could it be him?

No wonder it was a teen cat...? It's a teen boy!!

Seriously...I must be dreaming...? Or I'm like I entered in some anime...

As soon the cat boy got all dressed, he looked up at me with those eyes which adios mio is so adorable...

Stop it Jonathan...

"Okay...now I know-"

"I know what your gonna say sir. Where is the cute little kitty? Did you kidnap the little kitty or what did you do to that little kitty?...technically I'm the little kitty." He smiled cheekily which drove me crazy...so he is little fella...

I guess I'll let him explain, I will go easy on him.

"Alright, so let me get this straight...you know what...scratch that...instead...I'm gonna let you introduce yourself while I'm all ears. Because I'm not sure if I'm dreaming or going crazy."

Ouch Jonathan...why say that..?

"Okay well, my name is Sherwin, I'm 15 in a half. I'm a orange tabby cat hybrid. I'm also a shapeshifter."

I nodded and I couldn't stop staring into those big brown eyes which shines in the room. It's like looking through the inside of a ruby.

"So you can shift into a cat and a human?" I asked and he nodded.

Okay...that's both cute and weird.

"Aren't you gonna introduce yourself too sir.?" He asked but I quickly dozed off from his eyes. Wow...where are my manners...

"Oh..I'm sorry...Uhh, my names Jonathan, I'm 16, and I'm a human, just a human." I chuckled but seeing him smile made me feel soft inside.

"I guess it's your first time being around a cat hybrid. Don't worry, we're really harmless. But when it comes to prey and danger. I do go vicious mode..."

Why did I find that hot...?

"Well then.." I scratched the back of my head and sat down on my bed.

"I just thought this day was gonna be new for me...saved a cat, taking care of it, learning a new experience. But now I'm sitting here...talking a cute cat boy..."

(Sherwin's POV)

Did he call me cute...? Why does my face feel so hot...?

Mmm Jonathan. It is handsome like his face. I crawled over to him which I scent him shift a bit from my movement.

"Whats wrong with that? I can shift back to my cat form if you like?-"

"No no...it's okay. It's just...I'm so tired...I can't even think right now..."

I frowned seeing him rub his eyes...he does look really tired...hmm. I should do something for him!

I crawled over on top of him and laid my head against his chest, letting out a soft purr.

It's my very special power to calm the stress levels and give people good sleep!

"Mmm...what are you doing...?" He asked me and I continue to purr, soon I could hear his heart race.

"Healing your stress." I answered...but my purring fade away and felt a little cozy...A little sleepy....

...zzzz...

(Jonathan's POV)

I looked down to see Sherwin sleeping on my chest...which is honestly the cutest thing...I know I just met him...

But I wanna get to know him this weekend...
