A/N: I just had to give Gundham more love. Enjoy!

"Darling, can I ask you something?" You asked one day while cuddling your boyfriend. He had you lying in his lap with your head on his chest, some music playing faintly in the background.
"Anything," he replied, stroking through your hair.
"Can we adopt a cat?" You continued, looking up at him with pleading eyes.
Gundham's fingers froze in place, his face morphing into one of contemplation.
It's true, a cat would be a lovely addition to our pack of darkness, he mused to himself, but I fear that the cat would become too shrouded in the dark arts and try to consume one of the Dark Devas.
... but my dark queen would like a cat...
He hummed in thought. "That would be good for our dark rituals, but..."
"Just think about it, okay?" Her sweet smile sent butterflies into his stomach. "It's totally cool if you say no, just wanted to pose the question."
He nodded, averting his gaze when his cheeks flushed.
(y/n) simply giggled, turning back to what she was previously doing.
The question nagged at him for the rest of the week. (y/n) wants a cat. (y/n) wants a cat.
He wanted to oblige, as he did like cats, but he didn't want the Dark Devas to be hurt before he had a chance to train it up.
During one of his wanderings around campus, he happened to cross paths with Souda. The bumbling fool had become more engrossed in his work lately, what with the newest batch of students having a girl who could effectively invent anything she wanted. But now he looked cheerful as he approached.
"Hey, Tanaka!" He called. "How's (y/n)?"
"She's perfectly fine," he answered simply. "What do you want?"
"Whoa, don't get so cold yet!" Souda rose his hands in defense. "Actually, I came here to give you something."
Gundham's eyebrow rose as Tanaka pulled out a headband from out of nowhere. Not just any headband, though; at the top were two black cat ears, lined with soft-looking fuzz.
"Iruma bought a catgirl cosplay the other week but they accidentally sent her the wrong color ears, so she wanted to see if anyone else wanted them." Souda shrugged, handing it over. "So here. Your hair's black, it'll blend."
Gundham stared at the cat ears with newfound interest. Maybe... "I... thank you for your generous offering."
Souda just shrugged again, gave him a tiny smile, and walked off.
Gundham stared further at the headband. Maybe...
"Gundham, I'm here!" (y/n)'s voice echoed from the doorway. "Ready for date night?"
He took a deep breath and stepped out of the bathroom. "Yes, give me a moment."
Her back was to him as she sat on the bed, humming a tune while scrolling through her phone.
She relaxed against him when he slotted in behind her, his arms gently snaking around her waist and pulling her to his chest. Her head lolled back, and when her eyes opened to look up at him, her smile dropped and she stared at him.
Gundham awkwardly looked down at her, his face positively red with embarrassment. "You... said you wanted a cat, yes?"
(y/n)'s eyes darted from his face to the ears. Slowly, her lips curled upward into a smile and she began giggling.
Oh no, she thinks I look ridiculous, he mourned. I should just take them off and burn--
He startled when her arm rose, her hand brushing against the ears gently. Her smile was still bright, even as her hand trailed down to cup his cheek.
"You look super cute, kitty cat," she teased. "I wouldn't mind you wearing these every so often."
His blush worsened, this time from the proximity as she rolled over and got up onto her hands and knees. Her face leaned in close and she kissed him on the cheek.
"So you... do enjoy the ears?"
"Of course I do! They're perfect!" She exclaimed, settling herself in his lap with a grin. "I suppose instead of a real cat, I could make do with this one...~"
