Cor knelt down, doing his best to keep his fury from his face and school his features into something comforting. His katana already vanished back into the Armiger, he held out his hands, palms up. “It’s okay, kids, you’re safe now.”
The widening of the eyes of the one of the girls huddled before him was the only warning he had. He twirled, pulling his katana out in the same motion. Behind him, one of the traffickers dropped his gun, screaming as a black blur dropped down on his head. The trafficker swore, grabbing the yowling cat, and threw it. It hit a post with a thud, sliding into the water with a splash.
Cor didn’t waste the opportunity, stepping forward to drive the hilt of his katana into the trafficker’s stomach, then sweeping his feet out from under him. He pulled out cuffs and secured the trafficker just as Espervier ran in, followed by more Crownsguard.
Cor stood back, letting Espervier take charge of the scene. He walked over to the edge of the pier, scanning the water. He bent down and scooped out a wet ball of fur, relieved to feel it breathing. He tucked it into his jacket, nodded to Espervier, and walked back to the docks. Nodding in acknowledge to the mix of Crownsguard and Crown City Police surrounding the scene, he didn’t stop until he reached his car. He opened the back door and laid the cat on the seat.
The cat sat up and stared at him. it was clearly well cared for, current soggy appearance notwithstanding. Not a stray, certainly. What was it doing here? Who was missing their cat?
“Who do you belong to?” Cor muttered, watching the seat get slowly wetter as the cat dripped on it.
The cat only sneezed in answer.
“Don’t go anywhere.” Cor sighed, and shut the door. He trotted back to one of the Crown City police cars and came back with a borrowed towel.
He opened the car door, and froze as he found a soggy Kingsglaive in the place he had just left a cat.
“Ah, I can explain?” The glaive gave him an embarrassed smile.
With a start, Cor realized he recognized him. The rising star, the one Titus liked to bitch about. How very interesting.
“I look forward to it, Ulric.” He held the towel out.

Series: Part 3 of Kitty!Nyx
Summary:
Nyx's late night "feline tactical training" is interrupted by his boyfriend. And, more importantly, his boyfriend's cellphone camera.
-----
A Kitty!Nyx story. Does not require knowledge of previous stories.
“Now that the main business is over with, I did have something else to discuss.”
Cor raised his eyebrows at Regis and picked up his pen again. This hadn’t been on the agenda for this meeting, which meant it was either personal or very bad news.
Clarus crossed his arms. “We’ve been getting reports from the staff that there’s a stray cat wandering around, causing mischief. Some of the council have reported paperwork chewed, and Lord Bosphorus found a hairball in his shoe.”
Cor coughed to hide a laugh.
Drautos frowned. “I found a dead mouse on my desk the other day, along with some shredded paperwork.”
Cor coughed again, and turned away. Nyx was going to be in so much trouble.
“My son tells me he found a stray cat recently, and you promised to find it a good home. Did you?” Regis looked at him expectantly.
“Ah, yes, your Majesty. He’s in a good home,” Cor answered. He personally thought Nyx’s apartment was a bit of shithole, but Nyx was over at his place more often than not these days, so he guessed it evened out.
“Did you keep it?” Regis asked, surprised.
Cor kept his face blank as he considered how to answer that.
“You have a cat?” Clarus’ face was incredulous.
“Yeah, I guess I do.” Cor tried to keep the fondness from his face.
“And you just let it run around?” Drautos was frowning at him.
Clarus shook his head. “Pets come with responsibilities. You can’t just let it wander around wherever it wants.”
“And you should at least let Noctis visit it.” Regis was giving him his disappointed look.
Cor sighed. “I’ll see that he doesn’t cause more trouble. And bring him over to see Noctis sometime.”
“See that you do.” Regis nodded, and dismissed the meeting.
Cor left, dodging Drautos’ attempts to talk to him. Nyx had better make this up to him, no matter how much his victims had deserved it.
Cor heard whispering, and headed in that direction. He found the two boys huddled together in an alcove off of one of the main passages.
“Prince Noctis, Ignis. Everything alright?”
Noctis squeaked and clutched something to his chest.
“Marshal.” Ignis turned around and adjusted his glasses, a nervous tick Cor had noticed the boy picked up recently.
Cor knew the boys could be lonely, even Gladio had Iris to look after, but Ignis’ uncle had sent him here to serve Noctis alone. He had hoped Ignis would be a good influence and keep Noctis out of mischief. Apparently he had underestimated Noctis’ influence.
“What are you hiding, Noctis?” Cor gave Noctis an even look. It wouldn't be the first time Noctis had tried to sneak an animal into the Citadel.
“Uncle Cor!” Noctis whined, curling his body around what he was hiding. “I found him wandering around, lost! I just wanted to make sure he wasn’t hurt. Are you sure I can’t keep him?”
Cor sighed and shook his head.
Ignis shifted. “I was just about to arrange to contact the animal shelter. It has no collar, but they’ll be able to see if it’s microchipped.”
At that moment, a black head popped out from Noctis’ jacket, where he was being kept. The ears twitched in his direction as a very familiar cat wriggled out of Noctis’ hold.
Cor repressed a sigh, and plucked the cat from Noctis’ shoulder before he could jump. “I’ll see that he finds a good home. Now, I’m sure you both have lessons you’re late for.”
“Of course, Marshal.” Ignis steered Noctis away as Noctis looked sadly at the cat.
Cor waited until they were out of sight, and waited some more just to be safe. “What were you thinking, just wandering the Citadel like that? And letting yourself get caught by the prince?”
The only response was a dismissive ear flick.
Cor snorted. “Next time, I will let them take you to the animal shelter.”
The cat’s ears went flat against his skull and his tail thrashed.
“Don’t give me that look, you know better.” Cor scratched his head until the ears relaxed, and carried the cat back to his office.
The cat curled up on his couch, sleeping as Cor finished paperwork. A couple hours later, there was a rush of air, and his couch was occupied by a sleeping glaive.
Nyx yawned, and stretched as he woke up, then rolled over to eye Cor. “You wouldn’t really let them take me to shelter, would you?”
Cor didn’t look up from his paperwork.
“Cor, come on,” Nyx whined.
“You know better than to let yourself get caught,” Cor said again.
Nyx buried his face in the couch. “I know, but they just looked so lonely.”
Cor sighed and stood up from his desk to lean on the arm of his couch. He ran his fingers through Nyx’s hair until Nyx lifted his head to look at him. “Just don’t get caught.”
Nyx smirked and pushed himself up to kiss Cor, who smiled into the kiss.

[If you want to be removed/added to the tag list for Kitty!AU things, let me know ♥]
Kitty!Noctis - He gives off a sleepy grunt as you scoop him up and smooch over him repeatedly, but he purrs softly. He eventually pushes his paws against your lips and shoots you a sleepy glare, before falling asleep again in your arms.
Kitty!Prompto - Over. The. Moon. Give to him more smooches and cuddles please! He will burble and chirp after each smooch, causing you to giggle.
Kitty!Ignis - His reaction is no different if he has is sight or not -- He will burble at you curiously as you repeatedly smooch and cuddle him, soft bubbling purrs rumbling from his chest as he lets you cuddle him.
Kitty!Gladiolus - After each smooch, he headbutts you, even causing your nose to hurt a bit cause he does it so hard. He purrs so hard that his entire body seems to vibrate.
Kitty!Cor - He’s a little confused to the extra affection, but tolerates it, to a point before he gently wiggles himself free and wanders off.
Kitty!Iris - She dips her head at every smooch, letting you kiss her between her ears. She just soaks up all the affection she can get from you.
Kitty!Aranea - You coo to her, and pet her a bit, since she’s in a mood to let you be affectionate with her, she even allows you to smooch her head, and you continue to do so repeatedly. Eventually when she’s had enough she pushes her paw against your lips.
Kitty!Cindy - Closes her eyes in absolute delight as you continue to smooch her and shower her with affection. She’ll even get in the habit of kneading so hard that she mostly keeps only one paw curled.
Kitty!Luna - Pushes her head into each and every smooch you give her, her ears splaying out sideways, and when your done, she mews and purrs up at you, her eyes partly closed in bliss.
Kitty!Ravus - He’s a little indifferent. Why are you doing this? What is the purpose of all this? He doesn’t move away right away but eventually he’s had enough and will gently slink away from you.
Kitty!Cid - He’s kinda lazy in his old codger way, so when you smooch him once, he expects you to be done. But when you do it again he looks up at you, then a third time, and as you continue, he pushes his head up into each smooch.
Kitty!Regis - He wraps his paws about your neck and keeps his head pushed into your lips for consistent smooches.
Kitty!Clarus - He smushes and nuzzles his face against you when you do repeated kisses, purring loudly as he leans against you.
Kitten!Talcott - Squirms after the first couple kisses, and mews softly, when you put him down he looks up at you, ears turning, like ‘why did you stop?’
Kitty!Gentiana - She stands on your lap, paws on your chest and nuzzles her face into your kisses.
Kitty!Ardyn - You either have one of two things happen. You burst into tears because he shreds you open, or you burst into tears because he lets you, his head nuzzling a little into your kisses. [The fickle bastard!]
Kitty!Nyx - Headbutts, face smushes, nuzzles, kneading cuddles, you name it. The more you smooch him, the more affection you get back.
Kitty!Libertus - He’s a bit confused at the extra affection at first. But as you repeatedly smooch him he dips his head a little and seems to fluff up, but doesn’t push away from your extra affections
Kitty!Crowe - She’s confused by the extra affection, and she looks at you with a look of ‘did something happen? You ok?’ when you chuckle and continue, she only tolerates it so long before she pushes her paws against your chest and leans back away from you.
Kitty!Pelna - Your smooches seem to kinda ‘knock him out’. He gets goofy as you kiss him, flopping over and burbling up at you, but the more you do it the more he purrs.
Kitty!Titus - He lets you coddle him for five minutes. That’s it. Stop now please. And he’ll push and pull away from you, wandering off. Ten minutes later, he gets back up on your lap, and purrs up at you, asking for more.
Kitty!Dino - When you give him extra affection he soaks it up, meowing up at you till you pick him up. When you do he curls in on himself a bit to snuggle into your chest. [Your boobs if you’re a lady.] and he falls asleep, purring happily.
A/N: Oh, so she was weaned a bit too soon? Aww, I’ve had kitters like that too, where they latch onto something with you because that need to nurse is still sort of ingrained in their cute fuzzy brains.
I apologize also for this one taking forever, there’s only a few of these guys that would do that really, so I apologize for this one being a bit short Anon-san! ♥
Kitty!Noctis - He does this, but only if you have a certain blanket, and if you’re sitting/laying a certain way. He’ll latch on and nurse a bit while he kneads on you before falling asleep.
Kitty!Prompto - When you hold him and flip him onto his back and give him the end of his tail, he immediately begins to nurse and knead the air or your arm. You figure that it’s more of a nervous habit than anything else.
Kitty!Ignis - He does not do this, but he does push his face into the blanket you’re using and knead on you quite a bit.
Kitty!Gladiolus - He doesn’t nurse but he is a kneader. Prepare to be prickled!
Kitty!Cor - On the rare occasions that you get him to cuddle with you he kneads on you. You’ve never seen him nurse.
Kitty!Iris - She kinda nurses now and then but it usually only happens if she picks up on the fact that you’re upset. It’s almost like she uses it to distract you.
Kitty!Aranea - Expect prickles when and if she does snuggle with you.
Kitty!Cindy - She just flops. Limp noodle all over you.
Kitty!Luna - She pushes her face against your blanket and kneads.
Kitty!Ravus - The first time he did this it surprised you, you watching him in silence and he seemed to slowly shy away from what he was doing when he noticed you watching him. You cooed to him softly, petting his ears and he went back to nursing and kneading on your blanket. You make sure that you’re alone with him so he can do this.
Kitty!Cid - Prickles against your belly, as he keeps himself cuddled close. No nursing though.
Kitty!Regis - Kinda - if given the opportunity he will wrap his paws about your neck and suck on your earlobe.
Kitty!Clarus - He kneads on you whenever he gets the chance to cuddle with you. No nursing though.
Kitten!Talcott - He still does this. He’ll nurse on your shirt collar, your blanket, your arm, anything he can latch his little mouth onto while he kneads.
Kitty!Gentiana - When she kneads on you, her paws are gentle, and feather light almost. No prickles.
Kitty!Ardyn - Nope. Just...No.
Kitty!Nyx - He likes to prickle you sure, but there’s no nursing involved anywhere.
Kitty!Libertus - He’ll do both, mostly when he’s a bit nervous it seems. He pushes his face against your belly and will nurse against your shirt or your blanket.
Kitty!Crowe - She’s much like Kitty!Aranea, she’ll prickle you if she cuddles with you, but no nursing in which to speak of.
Kitty!Pelna - He doesn’t nurse on you, but he might start washing any part of you he gets ahold of. [Wrist, arm, fingers, forehead, etc…]
Kitty!Titus - He prickles and kneads against you now and then when he cuddles, but does not nurse.
Kitty!Dino - He facemushes into anything shiny you wear, and will knead against you, he doesn’t nurse, but it’s like he has to push his mouth against the shiny thing for just a moment.
Kitty!Noctis - He’s a little confused the first couple times you put him on your shoulders. He’ll wobble a bit on your shoulder till he gets used to it. When you happen to be nibbling on something, he’ll gently reach out to it with his paw trying to get you to give it to him.
Kitty!Prompto - When you put him on your shoulders he mews and meows and burbles and tries to walk from one shoulder to the other, only to give off a surprised meow as he falls off. He’ll meow up at you till you pick him up and he can try again. He’ll eventually get the hang of it, but he’ll never stay just on one shoulder.
Kitty!Ignis - When you’re cooking in the kitchen, he’s instantly up on your shoulder, tail curled about his paws as he watches you work. It’s like he’s supervising you with what you’re doing. When he loses his sight he’s never quite comfortable with sitting on your shoulders unless you’re sitting in a chair, and not moving around.
Kitty!Gladiolus - He’s almost too big for him to sit on your shoulder, so he drapes himself across the back of your neck. Purring softly from his new perch.
Kitty!Cor - If you’re sitting in the picture window he’ll be ok with being placed on your shoulder, mostly because he’s now able to see the birds better as they fly and flutter about the bird feeder. You chuckle, knowing you’ll have a present or two from him later.
Kitty!Iris - She burbles and grunts a little as you place her on your shoulder, her back feet slipping a bit as she tries to gain her footing. Once settled and you aren’t moving around and she puffs up her chest, purring softly as she sees the world from a new spot. She likes this, however when you move, and she slips again, she mewls loudly, having slight second thoughts.
Kitty!Aranea - She surprisingly does this to you on her own, and will often take up the opposite shoulder that Kitty!Ignis is sitting on. Her eyes are wide and she usually has to sniff at whatever your doing - however if you’re tasting any of your cooking, expect her paw in your face cause she wants to make sure it’s ‘ok’ for you to have.
Kitty!Cindy - She doesn’t sit on your shoulders but lets you drape her across yours. She goes a bit limp, and almost falls off of you a time or two, but eventually she figures out that if she extends her body around your neck that she’s not going anywhere. And will often sleep there while you’re out working in the garden or in the shed.
Kitty!Luna - Surprised by you putting her on your shoulder. She’ll burble curiously, a little confused by it before she realizes that you are making it so she can see what you’re doing. She then finds her voice, meowing at every little thing you do, wondering more or less “What’s this?!”
Kitty!Ravus - He’s very unsteady and will struggle to remain on your shoulder before he huffs softly and hops down. He’ll meow loudly in annoyance but then look up at you expectantly. You figure it’s because he has trouble with his front leg that he just can’t get the hang of it, but he wants to. You scoop him up and coo to him, kissing his face a bit - and this is one of the times where he lets you.
Kitty!Cid - He sits there for about three seconds before he rowls and grumps at you. Down. Now. But the moment you take him off your shoulder, he immediately curls into your chest, purring softly. He just wanted cuddles apparently.
Kitty!Regis - He tries to balance on your shoulder when you put him there, and he kinda gets it, but when you move he loses his balance, and it doesn’t get any better. So, he much like Kitty!Gladio he drapes himself across the back of your neck, purring and kneading on your shoulder.
Kitty!Clarus - Another one that’s almost too big to sit on your shoulders, but he’s not comfortable with sitting there either. He’ll jump down, and instead sit right next to you, or follow you around purring up at you. He doesn’t mind one bit to keep you company.
Kitten!Talcott - Wobble wobble but doesn’t fall down! He puffs up his chest with pride when he finally is able to sit on your shoulder steady, without falling off. Though, when you go to pet him, he loses his balance and clings to your shirt before climbing back up into place.
Kitty!Gentiana - She’s not around much for you to do this with, but when you do get the chance to put her on your shoulder she has no trouble sitting there, gently draping her tail across the back of your neck as you work.
Kitty!Ardyn - Sometimes you can get close to him to pick him up, usually when he’s in a good mood. When you put him on your shoulder, and after awhile, something snaps, and he bites down on your neck causing you to cry out. When you do, he darts off and hides. You never understand what gets into him sometimes.
Kitty!Nyx - Mr. Perches on your shoulders a lot does this for you. Usually the moment you come home he’ll run up and jump up on your shoulders, gently wrapping his tail about your neck like a necklace. You chuckle and reach up, rubbing his ears as you go about your chores, almost forgetting he’s there.
Kitty!Libertus - He wiggles and wobbles on your shoulder, never quite getting it down till he figures out that draping himself across your shoulders is the way to go. He purrs the entire time he’s there, and you actually have trouble getting him OFF your shoulders later.
Kitty!Crowe - When jumping down from her high place, she’ll use your shoulder to get down lower. Sometimes she’ll stop, and burble at you, while looking you into your eyes before purring, giving you a gentle headbutt then hops down to go about and do her thing.
Kitty!Pelna - He becomes a hat. Instead of balancing on your shoulders, he moves to the back of your neck, places his belly and chest against the top of your head, and drapes his paws almost on either side of your head. Sometimes he rests with his chin against your head, sometimes not.
Kitty!Titus - He sometimes will let you pick him up and place him there, but he doesn’t stay long. His little stubby tail wiggling in slight annoyance before he huffs and hops down.
Kitty!Dino - He’ll sit there for a moment before he notices your earring, or your necklace, and will do nothing but gently paw at them while he sits there. When you pause with what you’re doing he’ll gently curl his paw around it and smush his face against the shiny thing, cause it’s ...well shiny.
