There was no rule about not being allowed to have a pet on base. Simon had a K9, Soap had a fucking parrot and Gaz had two hamsters. Wich was rather stupid in one way or another.
Simon knew you, you've been at base for a rather long time already, not long enough to be a higher rank than a rookie but still one of the best ones. He also knew that you've always wanted a cat, kitten best said.
Though because of missions and such you didn't have the exact time. Simon though after you've returned from a long mission, walked into your quarters whilst you laid down in bed trying to sleep.
"Don't throw him." Simon only said before placing down a black kitten on your stomach. Simply just like that. a male small kitten, barely 5 months old.
How do you react?
