Catler things ✨

"Cat? Cat, please please please say that your awake please don't leave me!"

"It's okay, Ty." She trails a bloody hand over Ty's cheek, tears falling down, the two lovers in they're own bubble on the battlefield.

"I-" She winces as she looks at the red wound on her stomach.
"I love you, Ty. Always have."

She take a shuddering, heaving breath, and exhales for the last time, her eyes glassy.

"CAT! No, please, come back to me..." Ty sobs.
"I love you too. Please, god, no..."

He walks into the bridge, holding a steaming mug of coffee .
"Cat?" He whispers, and sets his cup down next to the control panel, where Cat is falling in and out of sleep.

"You need to go to sleep."

"Get your damn coffee away from my baby." She growls.

"Nope. You, little miss pilot, are going to sleep."

"Mmmmmm." She grumbles, and gets out of the pilots chair.

"Oh, no." Ty grabs her waist, and pulls her on top of him.
"You can fall asleep here."

"Gladly." She laces her hands around Ty's waist, and she falls into a deep sleep.

She brings the racer to a skidding halt at the finish line, the crowd chanting her name.

Ze-ro!
Ze-ro!
Ze-ro!

She pulls the helmet off her head and lets the sunlight wash over her, lost in sweet victory.

"WOOOOOOO! GO ROOMIE!" She hears a shout, and a flash of flaming red.

A blonde boy walks out onto the track, and cups her chin, and kisses her, long and slow.

"Love you, Zero." He murmurs.

"Love you more."

"No- actually, I'm gonna lose if I fight you."

"Ya-huh."

~~~

"Tattoo! Tattoo! Tattoo!" She chants, as Ty sits down.

He makes a face, and winces as the ink goes on his skin.

"Wuss."

"Am not!"

"Am."

"Am not!"

"You sooooo are, Tyler."

"I'll be your best friend?"

"Shut up."
