Dream bubbles had a 10/10 on the weird shit scale sburb seemed to keep uping. First, his planet was full of skeletons that Jake had adored, and now apparently there were dream bubbles full of deceased trolls that seemed to always know where to find him. Especially the one with the red sweater, always there to lecture him on something. First, it was his TV that flashed images from questionable pornos. To inform him that having a head of snoop dogg in front of his door was unsafe and sacrilegious. Then he finally decided to throw some useful information, don’t get involved with the purple boxer wearing skeleton and his cat girlfriend. Â
And who did he find sitting on his bed with an assortment of brightly colored bottles spread out in a natural spectrum. Oh boy. This one did what? She had horns that resembled cat ears in a weird candy way. She was grinning excitedly and a Pusheen cat sweater that matched the one Roxy had acquired. This was the cat girl. She dealt with what? Romance?
“Sit,” she says and picks up a bottle of bright pink nail polish shaking it.
“No I think I have something else to do,” Dirk mumbles and turns to leave.
“I’ll go get Kankitty.”
“Condomkitty?” Dirk turned around asking his voice rising in pitch.
“KAN KITTY.” Ow ok was there really a reason to screech. “Sit.”
Dirk made his way to the bed and sat across from her,”Okay, what are you here for?”
“A little kitten told me you have some ship purroblems and I’m here to make those woes better,” She was smiling widely again at him. Â
Dirk nodded,”What’s the nail paint for?” His asked picking up a neon orange and looking at it. It would look nice on his nails. He’d painted them with Roxy once. It had been fun, she’d managed to send him some baby pink nail polish, and they painted them over Skype and watched a movie, that was before this hellscape of a game.
“I’m going to paint your nails and we are going to talk buster!” She said,”You like the neon orange then? Purrhaps we should do them in that color?” She said her smile going from a satisfied cat who ate the canary to a gentler kitten smile. She was a sweet girl.
“Uh yeah sure. I guess?” he said and offered her his left hand first. “Why are you doing this? Kankitty told me to avoid you, something about your boyfriend being a bad influence.”
“Yeah. He isn’t fond of Purloz. Purrsonally I think he’s just a tad bit jelly!” she said getting softer before giggling like a little school girl. Heh. She’s so cute. What could possibly be so bad about her?
She shook the bottle of neon orange and shook the bottle up before unscrewing the lid and starting on his pinky. It was such a bright color.
“Now Dirk how long did mew and Jake date?” Her voice is conversational if a little curious.
“I don’t know, a few months?”He said and shrugged. He really didn’t keep up with the time. It was hard to here. But he’d loved every moment with Jake.
“Why did mew break up?”
Dirk shrugged. He’d rather not talk about it. He was clingy. He was a nuisance. He didn’t know how to let Jake do what he wanted. He’d coerced him into getting a tattoo.  He- “Words Dirk dear.”
He sighed,”I’m a shit boyfriend. I couldn’t let Jake leave, I go to sleep with him by me and wake up and he’d be gone. He’d go adventuring without me and I would blow up his phone with messages because I was so scared he’d be hurt. That I wouldn’t be there to protect him. He’s a page, he’s raw unrealized potential. He doesn’t know how important he is. How much I need him…” He said softly. His voice did not just crack. He was not about to cry. “I’d try to pull him closer and he needed room to breathe. I kept pulling him closer and he kept trying to push me away, and now I can’t even hold his hand anymore.”
“Mew purr thing. Mew were clingy, there’s no shame in wanting attention, especially if what I’ve heard from Roxy is true. You grew up alone, looking for attention in any form, building bots, and sewing puppets. You were starved from personal interaction.” She said and smiled at him. “Kankitty was the same until he decided to be celibate.”
Dirk shrugged,”So you’re saying I should vow of all forms of sexual contact. Wow, that’ll fix my problem since it obviously didn’t lead to my clingy nature at all.” He mumbled clearly unhappy with the suggestion. A hand smacked on his arm and flinched,”What was that for!” he said snatching his arm back causing her to smear nail polish on his finger.
“You’re being a butt head, mister!” She said snatching his arm back and starting on the next finger. “I’m not saying you should be Celibate, I’m saying you should work with Roxy and Jane and Jake and work this out. There is truly nothing wrong with being starved for touch, there’s nothing wrong with wanting it, you just have to talk with mewr furriends and find a way to work it out.” She wiped some polish off the edge of his finger. “I love to cuddle with Purrloz and Kankitty, and it took us talking to decide on a way for all of us to fulfill my cuddle needs.”
Dirk nodded and shrugged,”I’m pretty sure I’ve fucked my bridge with Jake. He won’t even answer my messages…”
“I’ve already talked to him, he will answer mewr text after we finish mewr nails.” She said and smiled at him like she knew something he didn’t.”
“Oh. Thanks, I guess.”
“No purroblem Kitty.”
“Dirk!” Roxy called as Dirk left his apartment, ”Meulin told me she was sitting with you! What happened?”
Dirk rubbed the back of his head and showed off his orange nails, “We just talked.”
“OooHH. About you and Jakey?” She said turning his hand left and right as she looked at his nails. “I hope you two did alright.”
“I think we did. We have a date for next week.”
