Catnapped (Catnap x Reader)

Ch. 29: Dog Day's Depression

The next morning, you start to wake up. You look down to see a still sleeping Catnap. He's got a smile on his face. Mostly from last night's even between the two of you during the party. Your radio's barely playing Stupid Girl by Garbage. It's not too loud, but you had the radio on all night and it's still playing.

You look at the radio and you say, "This is a nice song." You sing a little bit to it and you move your head a bit. Catnap sighs in his sleep. You look over and down at him. You smile and you giggle playfully singing, "Stupid boy... Stupid boy." Changing the lyric to boy instead of girl.

He smirks and chuckles. He opens his eyes and he looks up at you. You say, "Hey there, lovey.~" He says, "I wasn't so stupid last night now, was I?~" You say, "You were fantastic, baby. That's no lie.~" He sits up and he faces you. You face him.

He looks at you and he puts his hand on your face. He says, "My Kitten.~" You both lean in and you kiss. You pull away and you say, "Come on. Let's see how the others are. Poor Kitty's been through a quite a bit." 

Catnap says, "Yeah. Well, at least she won't have to deal with that woman and her perverted shithead for a husband. If he had even tried to touch YOU... He'd suffer longer. Nobody harms a hair on MY Kitten." The next song to play is The One I Love by R.E.M.

You smile and you say, "I love you so much, Catnap. Plus, you saved Kitty from all of that mess." He smiles and says, "I love you too, cutie." You get up and he grins at the sight of your nude body. He chuckles and he says, "Ooh, baby.~" You smirk and you say, "Oh, shut up and get up. Get dressed." You get dressed and Catnap gets up. 

You grin and you giggle saying, "Then again, you're a delightful snack yourself, lovey.~" He chuckles and says, "Relax, darlin'. You have plenty of time with me. I'm yours and you're mine." You say, "I'm tellin' you love... We're both going to be fifty something twenty-five to thirty years from now and you'll still be smokin' hot.~" He says, "Boy, do I wish. I know YOU will be." He gets dressed and you both head out of the room to check on the others.

Meanwhile, back in Baltimore. Dog Day is sitting on the couch in his house. He doesn't seem too happy, though. It's as if he regrets something he did, not too long ago. Did he do the right thing? He doesn't know. All he knows is that he's not happy about it. And that's just it.

Lately, he's been facing quite a bit of depression. He hasn't gotten out as often as he usually does unless it's going to work. He's caught in just a robe and stuff at times, he stress eats, etc. Vicky had been worried about him.

He's watching TV. Beavis and Butthead is on. But he's not laughing like he usually does when you would all watch it. He's just sitting there, looking at the TV and eating a tub of Breyer's ice cream. He sighs.

He hears this, "Babe. Hey." He looks to see Vicky. Worried and concerned look on her face. She says, "Dog Day. Are you alright, babe?" He sighs and looks away. He sits back. She sighs and approaches him. She sits on the couch next to him.

It cuts through commercial and she picks up the remote. She turns the TV off and she puts the remote down. She faces Dog Day. She says, "Dog Day. Look at me. Please?" He turns to look at her. She says, "What's wrong? You've been this way for nearly a couple of weeks. You can tell me." 

He sighs and he says, "Well, Vic. Sometimes I wonder if... I did the right thing." She says, "What do you mean?" He looks at her and says, "Calling the cops on Catnap." She says, "But he kidnapped (Y/N). We both know this." 

He says, "Yeah. He did, but... the biggest part of me feels so much regret. I... I really didn't wanna do that, but it was a kidnapping. But it drove those two out of here. Possibly for good." Vicky says, "Look. I miss, (Y/N) too." He says, "For me, (Y/N)'s not the only one I'll miss." She looks at him. He looks at her and says, "I miss Catnap." 

She says, "Dog Day." She grabs his hand. He sighs and looks away. He looks at her and he says, "He might have had a reputation... but he was my best friend. He's been my friend for years and years. I was there for him to save him from his horrible excuse of a father until he finally fought back at him. He mostly did it to save his mom. He's really a good guy, Vic. People just saw the worst in him. That's all. He was pushed to his limit." 

She says, "What are you trying to tell me, Dog Day?" He says, "We've been so close. Part of me shattered when we drifted apart. I... I was lucky to be spared that day when the others died. I was tossed out of the room and I left the school." She says, "Babe. I won't say anything to anyone... but he was the cause of the deaths of Crafty Corn, Picky Piggy, Bubba and the others, wasn't he?" 

He sighs and he says, "Yes. But I can forgive him. I think he did it because he felt the others would separate (Y/N) from him. I just want him back, Vic. I regret driving him and (Y/N) out. (Y/N) didn't deserve to have to leave her own family. Her friends they left behind... And it's MY fault. I-I'm the worst of them all. A double crosser. Who knows where they went? Florida? Mexico? Canada?... Hell, even Australia where (Y/N) and her family are originally from. Perth. That's really far away." 

He looks away and nearly chokes up. Vicky says, "Dog Day? Hey. A-are y..." He sighs shakily and he says, "Things just aren't the same. C-Catnap. He's still my best friend. He and (Y/N) are gone... a-and it's because of me." He grits his teeth. 

Vicky says, "D-Dog Day? Look at me. Please?" His lip quivers and he turns to face her, but he looks down. Tears start to sting his eyes. She says, "Dog Day?" He suddenly says, "I-I just want Catnap back!" Tears start to run down.

She says, "Awe, babe. Come here." She pulls him close and he hugs his arms around her. He starts to sob as if he hasn't cried in years. She rubs his back and she says, "It's okay, Dog Day. Let it all out. I know you miss them. I know you miss Catnap, especially." He continues sobbing. She says, "There there. You just vent it out." Vicky continues to comfort her boyfriend the rest of the time.
