"Hey, I don't look like a slug, arsehole!" Plato snapped before he picked up his pace. "She'll be around. ... Somewhere. ... Maybe with her kittens. But somewhere! I think they can like smell the pharmaceuticals off me." Or pheromones.

Jellylorum needed some well-deserved time away from the kittens. Pounce and Olivia were bickering and fighting constantly, and the other kittens certainly didn't help things. She had managed to placate them with a visit to Gus for stories and, as they were occupied, she slipped off, trying to halt the onset of another migraine.
So she was wandering around the Junkyard, enjoying a blissful hour away from her children, when she turned a corner right into the path of Plato and Alonzo.
Darn it. She couldn't walk away now. Quickly smiling, she nodded to the boys. "Hello Plato, Alonzo. What are you up to today? Not more trouble, I hope." Dear God, please let them be behaving. She had no patience for mischief today.

Alonzo shrugged, hands in his pockets, "I dunno, Plato really wants to talk to you I guess." He was trying not to smile, an unusual situation for him to be in, he hoped this would be as funny as he was imagining it in his mind.

Plato straightened his back so he'd look a bit taller, hand running back to smooth through his long, messy hair. He grinned, a little bit sideways.
"You look smokin' hot today," he said with a grin, looking positively delighted. "And I feel pretty hot, too. We should cool down together, you know. You and me. Alone."

"Oh. Really." Jelly raised an eyebrow. What on earth could Plato want? Maybe she should make an excuse that she should go check on the kittens. They had to be getting into trouble somewhere....
"Excuse me?" She blinked at Plato, thrown off for a moment. Closing her eyes, she pinched the bridge of her nose. "Plato, dear, you're twelve. I'm at least twice your age." Well, she was nearly three times his age, but it wasn't lady-like to reveal one's age.
She paused, deciding not to point out that two adults being alone together did not usually result in cooling down. It might encourage him.

"So? That just means I've got more stigmana." Stamina--it was close. The smile he flashed was a winning one, and maybe a bit pathetic. Social cues? What social cues?

Alonzo stifled a giggle putting a hand over his mouth so that Plato would not see him laughing, though the younger cat probably wouldn't work out why anyways.
"I think you mean stamina there little buddy," Alonzo said through fits of laughter.

"Hey! Don't call me little. You haven't even seen it!" Plato protested. "And I don't stink either!"

"I.... Plato... No." Jelly shook her head, torn between walking away right now or trying to convince Plato that his delusion was very, very wrong. "You're twelve. Sweetie, do you realize how inappropriate that would be? And, not to mention, I think of you, and all of the other kittens, as my children."
She crossed her arms, drumming her fingers on her arm. "Aren't there any queens your own age that you like?" she added as an afterthought, hoping it would provide him with a distraction.

"So? MILFs are HOT!" Plato said, a bit too proudly, grinning from ear to ear. At the idea of kittens his age, he half-made a face. "But the boobs!"
Oh, Plato.

Alonzo couldn't hold it in anymore, he burst out laughing. That kit had no filter at all! He should hang around him more often, this was just too fun.

"That's.... that's..... Plato." Jelly shook her head. Everlasting cat, this had better just be a phase. None of the other boys she helped raise had gone through this, but Plato was.... special. A bit slow, a bit clueless. She hated to think about it, but he was a bit dim. Poor boy. His father certainly wasn't helping.
"Plato, the girls will grow up. And, I'm sorry, isn't twelve a little young to really be interested in girls?" Right. Maybe she could distract him, and avoid mentioning herself at all, as he clearly wasn't understanding her. She should have just walked away when she first saw the boys.
A quick glance was shot over to Alonzo. "Stop laughing, Alonzo. It's not nice."

"Are you saying I'm gay?" Plato suddenly looked mortified. "I'm not gay. I like boobs. A lot. What do you mean too young for interest in girls?! Are guys supposed to like guys first?! Everlasting Cat, I'm not... am I?"
He looked down at himself. "I don't look gay. I don't feel gay. Have I been queer the whole time and not known it?!?!?!?"
Definitely not the sharpest, but oh, he meant well.

Alonzo tried to stifle his laughter with extremely limited success, realistically he just hid behind his hands and continued laughing at full force, especially with Plato's next comment.
"Oh yeah," he said seriously, "you're definitely gay." He nodded, crossing his arms, "yup, I should have seen it before, girls are just not going to work out for you at all."

"Oh no!!!" Plato looked absolutely devastated then. "What do I do? Girls are just so cute and sweet, but I don't wanna hurt any girl's feelings."
It was almost pathetic, but there was a sweetness in his words as well.

"Oh, no, Plato, that's not-" Damn it, damn it, damn it. Now she had to do damage control. Jelly turned her glare to the black and white tom. "Alonzo. Not. Helping." Turning back to Plato, she smiled sympathetically and gently patted his shoulder.
"Plato, sweetie, that's not what I meant. I just meant that, in my experience, boys don't start liking girls until they're a little older. I didn't mean that you're gay, dear. And ignore Alonzo," she cast a look of disapproval at the other boy. "He's just trying to upset you."

"Sorry ma'am," he said, attempting to sound sincere, though he could not quite convince the smile from his face. He looked at Plato over her shoulder, catching his eye and mouthing the words, she's lying.
