Fourth floor common room, Thursday afternoon

[dude_its_jude]

After work, Jude had headed back towards the dorm with a couple of kitties in his pockets but he seemed to have avoided most of the plague. He sprawled over a couch in the common room, his eyes drifting closed in a pre-work nap.

Then the kitties appeared. First one, then a few more, curling up on his chest or sprawling over an outflung limb until very soon Jude resembling nothing more than a furry, purring, slowly rising and falling mound on a couch.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww . . .
