from the windowsill, john saw the familiar figure of ringo (he didn't have his glasses at the moment but he'd remember that jacket of his since he was the one who gave it to him) walk up to the doorway.

"it's your time to shine, nala my darling," john chuckled  as he picked up the white cat.

ringo hummed, searching through the pockets of his pants for the house key.

"johnny?" he called out, shrugging off his jacket and hanged it along with the other coats. "you there?"

"i'm here, ritch!"

he sounds oddly happy, ringo thought as he went into the living room, weirded out even more by the big smile on the taller's face and his hands were behind his back.

"you know you're as obvious as a window, john."

"drat! you caught me."

he laughed. "what is it?"

"there's a reason i'm holding said surprise behind me, ritch," he said in a joking manner. "now close your eyes and put out your hands."

ringo rolled his eyes but went along with it. he felt something furry and soft in his hands. and was that a... tail?

"johnny?"

"yes, love?" he replied, seeing the fact that ringo was fighting back a smile making him smile too.

"it's a cat isn't it?" john watched as he opened his sapphire eyes, shining bright as he looked at the snowy feline in his arms. "oh my god it is a cat!"

he laughed. "surprise!"

john watched as his (soul) mate hugged the cat, his heart swelling in his chest as he held the cat as if it was the most precious little creature in the world.

and, to be honest, john was sure he'd hold ringo like that in the future. or an alternate dimension, depending on how you look at it.

"i was thinking we'd name her nala," he said, even if he was going to name the cat alice, janis, even courtney after some of the female rockstars. john's phone rang in his pocket, ruining the moment a bit. he took it out of his pants and scrolled through his notifications.

"how will i ever thank you, johnny?" ringo giggled, bending down to let nala play along with simba, who seemed to be infatuated already with the kitty.

john smirked, not raising his head from his phone. "what about a kiss?" he said cockily, blushing a bit despite himself.

and the moment he turned to the smaller, he felt something soft press against his mouth. but before he could react (or kiss back), ringo's lips left his as quick as they came.

"i-i..." ringo blushed at least fifty shades of red when he realized what just happened.

john felt heat rise up his neck and his heart started hammering in his chest like a love-struck teenager. fuck, did that really just happen?

"ringo..."

"i-i meant to kiss your cheek," he blurted, refusing to meet his eyes.

"ritch---"

"t-then you turned, i didn't mean it i swear---"

"ringo!"

he stopped rambling. "john?" he squeaked when he felt his hand tip his chin upwards, blue eyes round with surprise.

their noses bump, ringo's breath hitching as his lips parted, and if he was about to protest he never got to start. because john cut him off, silencing the words that was about to pour out of his mouth.

john kissed him gently at first. as if he was asking him if this was okay. ringo froze a bit, eyes fluttering like he just woke up from a dream. then, slowly, he closed his eyes and kissed him back.
