The siren call of the braid in the middle row

Thanks to Robin that reviewed!
Chapter 2
The whole point of being a cat person, according to Wufei, was that you did not have to go on walks. (And Wufei didn't really like taking walks and he was definitely not a dog person.) That was why he did feel a bit betrayed as he looked down on the big St Bernard that where at the moment doing his businesses on the snow covered sidewalk. The dogs droopy eyes seamed to mock him with the knowledge that, as the leash holder, this was his problem. Droopy eyes that were far to close for comfort, in Wufie's opinion. Especially considering that Wufei was not among the tallest people to ever walk the earth, the dog had its head in chest height (at least while it was sitting).
Next to the unnecessarily large dog, a ugly lump of hair and wrinkled skin was lounging on the ground. The ugly lump was in fact his cat (with was why he had started to question if he really was a cat person). Why the cat like to follow him and the dog around during these walks was beyond his comprehension. Why he owned the lump at all was also a mystery. The cat had just showed up one day when he was on his way to class. It had followed him, not only to the university, but into the building. It would probably have followed him all the way into the lecture halls if he hadn't thrown it out (several times). Unfortunately for him, the cat had been waiting for him outside at the end of the day and then followed him home. Wufei had tried to get rid of it (several times) but it just kept coming back until Wufei had admitted his defeat and stopped throwing it out.
Luckily, the dog was in fact -not- his. It belonged to his neighbor Mrs Stevens. Why someone as old as Mrs Stevens, who could barely walk around in her own apartment, would get a St Bernard was another mystery that Wufei did not dwell on. The conclusion of it would not save him from these walks, and it would not save him from having to pick up the dog's droppings.
With a practiced move of the plastic bag in his hand he took care of the unpleasant business and moved along the usual route. The dog strolled lazily next to him and the ugly cat followed closely in his foot steeps. And it really was a ugly cat. It's gray fur was thin and did not in any way hide the rough scars that covered its thin body. The skin was hanging in unappealing wrinkles and it's tail was strangely short, like someone had cut it off years ago. The cat's head was only equipped with one ear and it had a squint in the left eye. It really was the ugliest cat Wufei had ever seen.
Wufei sighed in relief when he saw the apartment complex looming in the distance. He really was not a dog person and he couldn't wait to return the slobbering beast to its owner.
He had been informed when he had taken on the task to take the dog walking that "Teddy had a slight gland problem." Teddy the monster dog did therefor drool like the Niagara falls.
“A slight gland problem my ass,” Wufei muttered as he gave the leash a determined tug to stop the dog from once again, drooling on his shoes. He seriously considered disinfecting them when he got home. He quickened his squishing steps the rest of the way and herded both dog and cat through the door, up the stairs and then finally, to apartment door number 35.
The door opened and a old woman wearing a pink silk dressing gown with matching slippers smiled happily at him.
“Oh, come on in Wofi. Did you have a nice walk?”
Chang Wufei, who had long ago accepted that he would never hear his name pronounced right from the old woman, just smiled and told her that yes, it had been a very nice walk, and yes Teddy had gone poo-poo like a good boy. After declining several offers of tea and cookies he promised to be back soon to look through the newly developed photos from Teddy's latest dog show. A few more minutes of pleasantries and Wufei could finally make his way over to his own apartment. After a few seconds of 'where the hell did I put my keys' he managed to get the door opened. The ugly cat ran inside like it was expecting the human to throw it out if he got the chance. But the man did not even spare the cat a glance. He had more important business to attend to.
Wufei's eyes were fixed on his destination as soon as the front door closed behind him. With determined steeps he marched his way through the apartment (which was a accomplishment considering that his living room/kitchen/hallway was in fact, not that big). Upon reaching his goal he threw his gloves, hat, and jacket on the floor. With a grunt of exertion he kicked his worn sneaker off and collapsed on the couch with a satisfied groan. He really loved his couch. He had pulled it out of a dumpster two years ago and he had never regretted it. It was on the other hand absolutely tasteless. It was covered in big neon green flowers and something so bizarre as smiling bees. He had been forced to wash the seat cushions five times to get ride of the disgusting smell. It had been like someone died in it and had started to decompose before anyone noticed. But, Wufei reasoned, it was such a great place to die that he really would not mind doing so himself.
He was soon joined on the couch by the ugly cat who took its usual place on his chest. He grimaced as the cold and wet body stretched out on top on him, but he did not protest. Very carefully wiggling his cellphone out of his jeans pocket (The ugly cat had some scary looking claws that Wufei did not in any way want in his face) he set the alarm to wake him up in forty-five minutes so he would get up in time before he had to go to work. After putting his phone on the floor (he could not reach the coffee-table without disturbing the cat) he then reached up and started to pull the afghan of the back of the couch. Wufei put his knees up before carefully spreading the big blanket over himself from head to toe. The ugly cat blinked in surprise when the world suddenly became surrounded by fluffy maroon colored material. There was some light that made it's way through, but other then that it was dark and secluded.
“Now, that wasn't so bad, was it? It's like our own hidden cave.” He whispered to the ugly cat. It's only response was a big yawn and a slight rearrangement of it's back paws. Wufei reached out and caressed it's back. He smiled happily when it started to purr contently. “God night ugly cat.”
