SONG FOR THE CHAPTER ⬆️

YOUR DAILY CATBOO IMAGE ⬇️

Time passed by quicker than I expected, and soon enough Ben was leading me and Jack through the airport. I was feeling overwhelmed by all the people, the sights, the loud noises.

Oh I

Should be fine

But it's all too much

But Catboo was on my shoulder, and he would gently headbutt me whenever I seemed really panicked, or whenever my heart rate began to really rise.

I think Catboo was able to hear heartbeats. Maybe it was the whole 'he's a cat, he has better senses' thing. But I didn't think ordinary cats could hear heartbeats...

When we boarded the plane, I had the window seat. Ben had the isle seat, and Jack complained. But the thing is, we were sitting right next to the wing of the plane. So I was right next to an engine.

I took some deep breaths and tried to clam myself done. Ben seemed excited, and said that taking off was like a roller coaster. I like roller coasters, so it couldn't be that bad...

Catboo was on my lap wearing his service animal vest, and he would always sit up a little straighter and puff out his chest fur a little whenever someone would walk past us in the isle. As if he was prideful about something.

The plane began to move, and it was slow. Painfully slow.

"You said this was like a roller coaster," I grumbled.

"You need to wait till we're trying to lift off the ground," Ben told me.

She was right.

We got to the runway, and the engines burst to life. They were loud as fuck.

I get overwhelmed so easily

My anxiety

Creeps inside of me

Makes it hard to breathe

The plane took off like a race car, but I was to freaked out to enjoy it. I looked out the window, which was a big mistake.

The wing of the plane was bouncing around and it looked like it was about to fly right off the plane.

Catboo gently attacked Jack's arm and motioned towards me, but my eyes were focused on the plane wing in pure terror.

Jack reached over and closed the blind, then picked up Catboo and held him in front of my face. I took Catboo from his hands and set him down on my lap, where he began to paw at my shirt.

I can't listen

Cause I'm eyeing the exit

"The wings are supposed to do that," Jack reassured. "They're secured to the plane in a special way so that they can be flimsy to some degree and lightweight without flying off. If they weren't that way, we'd never get off the ground."

Catboo stood up and began making biscuits on my legs, which felt relaxing. I felt even better when he began to purr, so I was able to try and focus on one feeling and one noise.

I ended up looking over at Ben, who grabbed my hand. Catboo growled the tiniest bit when she did that, but I ignored it. She gently squeezed my hand, and Jack joined in a little.

I ended up falling asleep, with Ben holding my hand. And Jack was using his hands to encase ours so we weren't near his private parts. Even though it wouldn't be romantic or sexually based, since we're cousins it would be hella awkward.

(Third person pov)

Mark was noticing some new things about the whole 'suddenly turning into a cat in his sleep' thing.

Unlike normal cats, he could hear things like breathing, heartbeats, the drip of a sweat or tear drop. It came in handy with the whole ESA thing.

He also realized that if he tried to focus, he would only hear or sense those sorts of things with (y/n). Again, helpful for the whole ESA thing.

He also realized that it was definitely Tubbo's magic lady who did this.

He asked for adventure, and he ended up under a strangers bed, becoming an emotional support animal, and now he was going to London for some sort of celebration.

And he asked for help with the speaking to new people fear. As a cat, he physically could not talk. Only meow.

And there was one other thing he noticed.

He was very attached to (y/n).

He was proud of being their ESA, he liked making them laugh, he was getting less and less embarrassed when he thought of them as cute, and he hated it when other people tried to comfort them instead.

If he ended up human again, he would definitely try to get to know them better, and maybe even ask them out.

he ended up human again.

For now he just tried to drown out the negative thoughts by curling up on (y/n)'s lap. That usually did the trick.

What's come over me

Feels like I'm somebody else

I get overwhelmed
