Cat AU bc obviously this was only a matter of time

[done_in_3]

it was a dark day, dark and laughable and utterly ridiculous. The Enterprise was safe, the mission had gone well, the captain had begun this five year mission as a newly married man and brought his lovely wife with him on the ship. They were over a year in when trouble finally struck.

The landing party returned to the ship, no captain in sight though Spock had a furry handful of something. A quick trip to medbay confirmed the grim news... it was time to inform Mrs. Kirk....

Bones and Spock didn't waste time calling her. "Aqua.... you need to get down here. It's Jim."

Aqua didn't think Jim would wake up in time to move away as she rolled over. Besides, she wanted to be safe around him and not accidentally harm him! He was so much smaller than her now. Perhaps she could cast a spell to help keep him safe, but if she did...it might hinder them from making him human again. She could ponder that later, letting her husband go and watch him lay down on a pillow.

"...You want to sleep there instead?" she asked, making sure she understood him.

He nodded, or tried to nod. It was awkward but he put his head down slowly then up... then again. Yes please sleep next to him, he wants the comfort of being in the same bed. Albeit a different body.

Besides, fitting on his favorite pillow completely was luxurious.

Jim's attempts at communicating with her were even more cute than his meowing. Really, Aqua had to be shamed of herself for thinking her husband as a cat was utterly adorable, but she couldn't help it. She had half a mind to make a collar with his proper tags and name tag.

"We'll do that then..." she whispered, leaning in to press a kiss to his forehead.

"...just don't try to lick my hair, okay?" a light tease, trying to make the atmosphere a bit lighter.

Just for asking that he's going to make a point to lick her hair. And were she to exact the plan for a collar and tags, he'd resent her a bit. He'd certainly make the indignance known and get revenge later.... perhaps with hair licking.

But for now he got comfortable on his pillow, waiting for her.
