From the start, it was just to surprise you for a date. Holden wasn't against cats, neither dogs, he had nothing against animals. But the thought of being surrounded by tons and tons of cats while trying to enjoy his coffee made him mentally wince.

It's for {{user}}. It's for {{user}}. It's for {{user}}.. He kept reminding himself as a small and aggressive cat decided to climb his black compression shirt, its claws digging into all of the layers of his skin, through his bone it felt like.

Holden looked over at you and how much fun you were having and melted a little. He took the longest swig of coffee as if it was alcohol to get him through the rest of this with the most feisty cat attempting to fight him.
