Thor was zooming around the apartment, his large paws slapping loudly against the floor. His ears were turned back and his tail was all puffy, resembling a feather duster.
With his eyes narrowed, Bucky sat on the edge of the counter and watched the feline, his own legs swinging back and forth, elbows on his thighs. If Thor ran any faster, Bucky had no doubt he would suffer from whiplash as he tried to keep track of the cat.
“You’re fuckin’ crazy,” he murmured.
Thor meowed loudly as he tore through the kitchen, collapsing on the floor in front of the couch a moment later. He pawed at the newly-purchased toy. As his claws snagged the material, he shoved his nose in it and sniffed rapidly, his whole body shuddering as he did. He rolled to his back and started kicking at the toy with his back legs, his front paws still holding the toy over his face.
Bucky moved to jump down, to grab his phone and call you. He must have made a noise because Thor jumped no less than five feet in the air, landed sloppily on his paws, and tore off once again. He would disappear down the hall and into the bedroom, knocking things to the floor, and scurrying out mere seconds later.
The cat slid to a stop in front of Bucky and stared up at him, eyes wide, pupils blown, a strip of gold surrounding them. They darted all around Bucky’s face, down to his arms, then his feet, his very bare feet.
“Don’t you do it, cat,” Bucky warned, his voice low and menacing.
That was when you came home. You let loose a screech when the door closed and Thor jumped up, turned around mid-air, and landed on his paws, his eyes drilling into yours. He bolted out of the kitchen and snagged his toy, rolling over to his side loudly.
“Whaaaaaaat is happening right now?” you asked warily.
“I don’t fuckin’ know,” Bucky muttered, shoving off the counter after you stood between his legs and kissed him warmly. “I thought I’d get him a toy, see if I could get on his good side.”
You watched the way Thor was behaving and shook your head. “Does it have catnip in it?”
“Just grabbed a toy from the shelf,” he answered.
Somehow, Thor didn’t notice when you walked over and pulled the toy away. He just laid there, panting, his tail flicking on the floor. You grabbed a pair of scissors, cut open the toy, and shook out a rather large bag of catnip.
“This,” you chuckled, holding the bag out for Bucky to see, “is like crack for cats.”
Bucky took it from you and sniffed it, making a face at the pungent odor. “It’s fuckin’ gross.”
Before either one of you knew what was happening, Thor was on the counter. He surged forward and plucked the bag from Bucky’s grip.
“No, Thor,” you cried, but it was too late. The bag was ripped open and there was catnip all over the floor. Thor rolled around on the flakes, chittering loudly as his eyes glazed over.
