[You're welcome (; ]

  Jonathan woke up groggily, rolling over on his left side to face away from the bright morning sun hitting him from the window. He didn't keep his eyes open for long, as the sun was no longer bothering him he quickly closed his eyes again hopefully to get a few more minutes in. He felt the weight of the bed shift, and heard a mewl. Dio...

Jonathan heard the purrs of the approaching cat and opened up his eyes and ran his slender fingers through the cats blonde fur coat. "Good morning Dio" the cat gave him wide eyes, and Jonathan quickly took notice in his reaction. "What? It's the name that I picked, you don't like it?" his worried voice made the cat perk up at him and rub his head against his loving hand. He giggled. Dio was never a morning cat, he came to find out. Why was he suddenly wanting attention like this? Jonathan looked over at his clock on the wall, it was about 9:58. Dio was awake two hours early and for what, for attention. Jonathan sat up and Dio stayed still. His front paws on the darker haired males chest as he sat on his hind legs. He was looking up at the unit of a man. And Jonathan smiled down at his cat and pursed his lips. He reached behind his ears with his thumb and pointer, scratching them. Dio mewled.

"Dio... are you hungry?" The cats ears perked up at the few words that he memorized when he would be fed and meowed excitedly. His tail swaying a little faster than any cats he's ever seen. Maybe it rubbed off from Danny. Thinking about Danny.. he had to take him out for a walk. Or he would eventually come over something he wouldn't like. The responsibilities of a dog owner. He sighed aloud and got up with Dio trotting behind him. Danny was already awake he was sniffing around a little too much. "Danny!" The Great Dane looked up at him with wide eyes. "Danny no!" He rushes over to him, leash in hand, clipping it and walking to the front door. . "I'm glad I got up when I did." As Jonathan went out the door, Danny stumbled over his footing as his tail went in between his legs from the force his owner was putting upon him. He dragged him to the trees behind the apartment complex. "Go potty." And Danny went. He finally looked like a happy dog, relieving himself and not getting in trouble with his owner for having an accident.

Mreow..

Jonathan looked over and heard the all too familiar mewl. Why did Dio follow him. He stood there in thought, the Great Dane already done with his business and running on leash as his owner was dragged behind him. He was usually able to have his guard up for when Danny wanted to run off.

They all eventually ate breakfast. Danny was slobbering over all the kibble and small pieces of bacon he had gifted Danny with. Dio was enjoying his canned fancy feast, lapping at anything and more so, the gravy that seeped from the middle of the blended food. Jonathan was cracking eggs on the skillet, watching as he broke apart the egg and watched it slide on the oiled surface. He loved the morning times. He loved spending it with his pets. He looked over at the both enjoying their own meals. Yes, he could... live like this. Caring for them both. Growing old together... he sighed. Animals didn't have a long life time like humans did and cursed because of it. Danny was old, he sure didn't act it but he was. Jonathan was glad he's the one that made him feel like the puppy he was. And Dio, he didn't know the exact age of this feline. But he seemed to be more than a year old. Jonathan decided it was better to leave it alone. To take his mind off of it. He shouldn't be worried about when his dearest pets will leave him. He only left the thought that he should make their life as comfortable as possible and cherish all the time he had left.

Jonathan had already left for classes, it was just Dio and Danny left alone. For the most part, Dio would be trying to take a nap up until the time Jonathan came home. But Danny was bored out of his mind, he wanted to play! He wanted to run around! But he was stuck in the apartment with nothing to do until his master came home. He glanced over to Dio, licking his snout in anticipation. He barked at Dio, eyeing him with his beady eyes. Dio glared at him, annoyed eyes peering at him from the couch. He groaned and curled up, not paying Danny any mind. Danny charged at Dio and began jumping around in circles and in excitement. Slobbering and begging for Dio to play with him. The feline swatted him away with his paw. He didn't want anything to do with him during nap time.

And that's when it happened, Danny pounced on top of the cat. Dio pushes him off and Danny stumbled off of the couch confused. He looked up at where the cat was and sniffed but he couldn't see the cat anywhere. He sure did smell him though. Danny looked up at the man in front of him and sat down, tongue hanging out. Surely this man would play with him instead of the bossy cat. "Get away from me!" The voice said, Danny lowered his head at the tone of his voice. Dio was saying it out loud?! He was talking?! He covered his mouth with his paw. No, that wasn't his paw.. he looked down and saw the soft flesh, which reminded him of Jonathan's paws..
In fascination, Dio put his paw up to Danny to assure him he meant no harm. Danny sniffed his hand with his wet nose and licked at it. Danny began wagging his tail.

Dio got up, with Danny following behind him expectantly. He wobbled forward, not really use to walking on his hind legs. Eventually he made his way to Jonathan's room. Why was Jonathan not here? He never really understood that.. why did he always leave. It struck him how he wanted to know now but not when he was laying on the couch.. or really anytime before. "Jonathan please come home.." he said to himself. He looked at Danny, he sat right outside of Jonathan's room, knowing not to go in there. Just staring back at him. "I guess it's just us for now." Dio looked down at his naked body. He was so different without his fur.. he touched the skin, flinching at his coldness of his fingers. A rush of shivers ran down his spine! God, why did he suddenly get cold? He wriggled under the covers and sighed, it smelled like Jonathan..

His nap didn't last long though, he didn't feel as tired as he thought he was. Walking into the bathroom Dio walked up to the sink.. he stared into the reflection of the mirror and shrunk back, bumping into the shelf full of unused neatly folded towels and bathroom utensils. The face he saw looking back at him was so familiar..yet he couldn't quite put his finger onto it. His blonde hair reached down to the top of his shoulders and his orange eyes, striking. He opened his mouth to gasp but stopped and pulled his lip from the side looking at his teeth. They all looked like Jonathan's besides his cuspids, they were much more sharper. His tongue was still a bit rough. The only thing that reminded him of his old self was his ears on top of his head. and when turning around to see his backside, he saw his soft fluffy tail which he could hide at his will.

Yes, his new body was definitely weird..

Jonathan came home at the scheduled time he usually comes home at. "Hey guys! I'm home!" Danny barked at him excitedly, jumping on him and licking his face making Jonathan laugh at his face being tickled and the warm welcome home. "Dio? Come here kitty." He called. There was no answer. Strange. His house phone rang. He got up from the floor and picked up his phone.
"Residence of Joestar. Ah, what.... I-I'll be right there.." he hung up the phone. What. Danny looked up at Jonathan confused. "Danny stay here I'll be right back!" The dog whimpered. He didn't even get to show Jonathan the new guy in their home... where was he anyway?

Jonathan rushed into the main office, seeing a few random people who gave disgusted looks at him as he made his way to the front desk. They got away as fast as possible. As he turned the corner, he saw a male, absolutely butt naked and the woman behind the desk telling him to wrap a pool towel around himself. "How do I even do that?!" He questioned and the woman growled. "Do you have no decency?" The blonde blinked and saw Jonathan, his eyes becoming wide. "You're back!! I was so worried about you! And.." Jonathan's eyes widened. He's never seen this man in his life. He was much taller than Jonathan too so he felt a bit awkward.
"Take your friend home Mr. Joestar! And get him some clothes!" The woman screeched as she threw the towel at them. Jonathan wrapped the towel around the blondes waist. "Here."

The blonde blinked. "So.. that's how you do it.." Jonathan looked at the taller male confused, who was this guy? He acted like he was all new to this.
Jonathan walked Dio back to his apartment, why was he opening the door for a stranger?! "So what's your name?" Jonathan asked, awkward out of his mind. "You would know, silly" the blonde chuckled. "You gave me my name.." he seemed proud of Jonathan.

"I've never seen you before in my life. How would I know you." He was scared of how calmly he was answering and keeping himself together at this situation.

"That's okay. It's only been a few hours but I'll refresh your memory.." The blonde looked up at Jonathan, putting his hands on his covered chest like he did earlier that morning. The dark haired male scared out of his mind. Like why is he letting this happen he should push him off and call the cops. What will he do? He waiting for the blondes answer...

"I'm Dio."
