Spring Fever and other little things

 

Who knew how hard it would be to name a cat. No one liked Monster, except Tristan. "What are you gonna do? Name him after Harry Styles or something?" He was being silly these days, or at least Weezer thought so.

"That's it!" Weezer beamed. "Let's name him Stiles after Stiles from Teen Wolf."

Nonnie gave him a fat bottom lip as she took the kitten from him. She rubbed under his chin and he purred. "I guess I could go for that."

"You're sure it's a boy?" Tristan looked at them as if they'd be sorry.

"You're the one who said so." Nonnie gave him a look.

"Oh." Tristan laughed then as if he'd forgotten. He plopped on the couch and turned on the TV.

Nonnie looked at Tristan as if maybe Tristan had a doppelganger hanging out in his room while Tristan might be off at the zoo studying exotic animals.

About then, a tap came on the door. He got it before anyone else could. Nonnie held the kitten as if it might be her baby.

It was a girl at the door. She looked so friendly and smelled like Jasmine as if she was spring coming to visit on this cloudy and snowy day. She brought cookies, even if they were Girl Scout cookies. She said she finally figured out how to get the vegan Raspberry Rallies just in time. "You have to go online for them."

Weezer and Nonnie both nodded as if it were news to them. Finally, Tristan got around to introducing them to Dale.

"Dale?" Nonnie winced. What kind of name was that?

"Huh?" Weezer remained mute as he bit into a cookie.

Of course, Tristan pointed to Nonnie and Weezer. "Just roommates of mine." He smirked.

Weezer gave Tristan a wince. Before he knew it, Dale and Tristan went off to his room.

"This is new. So new." He shook his head.

"It must be spring fever," Nonnie said as she grabbed another cookie.

"I can't decide if these are as good as the mint ones," Weezer did his best to focus on the cookies.

"Well, we will  just  have to try both." Nonnie reached in the cookie drawer for the Girl Scout Mint cookies.

Weezer looked back at Tristan's room. He thought Tristan was trying out different flavors too.
