Wherever You Will Go

Summary: Inspired by the song Wherever You Will Go by The Calling. Munkustrap's inner thoughts about Demeter moving out to the Warehouse with Macavity. One-shot. Please read and review!

Disclaimer: I do not own CATS.

I know you're leaving with him tomorrow, and I know you think he's the perfect tom for you. But what you don't know is that I couldn't disagree more.

But I refuse to tell you this. I would never want you to think that I don't trust you to make your own decisions, nor would I ever dream of upsetting you by doing so. Your content is the most important thing on the planet. I've never told you before how I feel about you. I know we've only been friends, but I also know it could've been so much more if it weren't for my responsibilities as tribe protector, or for my lack of confidence in myself to tell you how I feel. You're moving out of this Junkyard and into the Warehouse with Macavity in seven hours and forty-two minutes (yes I'm counting), and it kills me to know that you won't be here for me to watch and protect.

What will I do without you to make me smile? You're the sun in my sky, the warmth to my soul. And I know deep inside we could've been something epic together, I feel destiny itself is distressed at the turn fate is taking. I remember last season during the thunderstorm, you and I were trying to find a dry place to hide until it ended. We found a bush in the park with room enough for both of us. You were cold from the wind and inched closer against my fur. I could feel your curves pressed against my body. I lavished in the way I felt so complete with you next to me. Little did you know how rapid you were forcing my heart to beat. Your scent filled my nostrils, a blissful and captivating smell that made me forget about the rain. That moment I knew I could not live without you. Just seeing you every morning as you visited Bombalurina, made my day that much brighter.

Your eyes alone have the ability to put me under a spell like I've never experienced before. There's so much I wish I could tell you. I wish you knew, I wish I could spend the rest of my nine lives with you. I feel myself withering at the thought of you not being here, it's like my reason to live is vanishing from the Earth, everything I live for, dream about, look forward to...is just gone. And knowing that I could've prevented this from ocurring a long time ago, knowing that you could be mine instead of his fills me with despair. If I had told you that night under the bushes that I loved you, you might be mine right now, and I wouldn't be sufferring with your upcoming departure, I'd be sleeping next to you, talking with you over dinner, holding you in my arms and kissing you. Words cannot begin to explain my adoration for your little quirks and traits. I'm just so taken by you and you don't even realize it. You open my eyes to everything around me...

I don't know if someday you'll return to me, but all I can do is ask the Everlasting Cat for such a gift. I'd be there to comfort you and tell you that everything would be fine. I'd be the shoulder you'd cry on, the one you'd turn to for advice. I could be your source of strength, just like you are mine.

You should know that wherever you will go, I'll be thinking of you. How could I not? You're the axis my world spins on, the breath to my lungs, and the meaning to my life. I love you, Demeter. I will forever.

I just wish I told you...
