(Aphmau)

I stared blankly at the man in the doorway.

He looked just like a guy from my dream.

What was his name? Gene?

"What?" I asked him to repeat.

"Can I please just hide in here, and then if anyone asks I was here for at least an hour?"

"Fine" I shrugged and allowed the stranger into my house.

"Thanks! I'm Gene by the way"

"Aphmau"

"Got anything to eat?"

"Um...yeah, listen you can't stay here too long. I got places to go"

"No problem, ill get out of your hair skin enough, kitten"

"That's not my name"

"Whatever you say, Kitten"

I rolled my eyes and started to hand him a bottle of water.

"Water?"

"Thanks, Kitten"

I shoved the water bottle as hard as I could into his gut. He let out a grunt of pain and I glared at him.

"It's. Aphmau." I growled.

"Ooooh, feisty. I like that" he purred. I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

"I'm off the market"

"Really?"

"Well...technically I'm single, but I'm also technically not-"

"So you're single"

"Technically, but I'm not gonna go for a deadbeat like you"

My phone dinged with a text from Garroth, the text was telling me that he was outside. I said he could come in and that the door was unlocked.

Garroth walked in and stopped in his tracks when he saw Gene.

"Aphmau...who's this?"

"Woah! Garroth Ro'Meave is here?" Gene chuckled. I sighed and walked over to Garroth.

"Garroth, this is Gene, he asked to stay here for a little while"

"How long is a little while?" He growled. I gave him a warning look and wrapped my arm around his.

"He was just about to leave actually"

"But-" Gene tried to talk but I interrupted him.

"Goodbye, Gene" I sighed.

"Seeya later, Kitten" Gene left and Garroth crossed his arms.

"He has a nickname for you?"
