What Momma Likes
"Do I really have to do this?"
The young cougar slumped in the back seat of the truck, arms folded stubbornly across his broad chest as if the action would better convey just how disgruntled he was. Their country truck bumped and rattled down the freeway, the concrete mass of the city rising to surround them on all sides. The red dragoness driving the car sighed, shoulders rolling back as if to relieve some deep down tension, though there would be no relief of tension when she was on duty taking care of her adult son. He still acted like a cub the majority of the time, or so it seemed.
"Well, if you did want to try out for track..." Fyr, waved her paw, lips pursed. "You're so late in doing so, if you want to compete next week, you have to go to this doctor. We already talked about this."
He groaned and shrugged, disturbing the tentacle lazily sprawled across his right shoulder. It flicked up into life, tip bobbing in a snakelike manner, and shivered, rippling stress from the extra limb.
"Yeah, I know, but I think I'd be good at it. I need something to take my mind off finals."
The dragoness' eyes locked with his in the rear view mirror.
"That's all your mind should be focused on, mister."
Hiss smiled sheepishly and held up his paws, his face the picture of innocence. His brown eyes widened, tentacles hovering on either side of his muzzle.
"Just not all the time...right?"
Fyr sighed and signalled to turn off the freeway, delving into the city with a practiced paw and a sharp eye on the road. Other cars whizzed past them, some occasionally tooting their horns, presumably at the state of their aged country truck, but Hiss tried to pay them no mind, tipping his head back on the seat and closing his eyes. Dozing was more appealing than watching concrete blocks stream by, a far cry from the natural flow of the stream on their farm.
But worries demanded attention at the forefront of his mind. What if the physical didn't go well? He hadn't been able to get in with his local doctor and he really wanted to go for the track team, so a trip to the big city it was then on Fyr's day off. He hadn't been to see the doctor in years, for his own reasons.
"Cat got your tongue?"
Fyr half-turned and grinned back at him, the frills around her head bristling lightly in the breeze from the open window.
"Mom, that's such an old joke."
The dragoness shrugged, a smile resting naturally on her muzzle.
"So that may be, but it's a joke all the same." She turned back to the road, signalling off the freeway. "Buck up, kiddo, we're almost there. You'll be done with this and back at school in no time."
Hiss heaved a sigh, the young cougar's two tentacles flopping limply.
"Yeah. Like that's any consolation."
"School's not so bad."
Hiss didn't respond as Fyr leaned forward to tap the GPS with a frown. She muttered under her breath and followed it anyway, cursing the only system that would get her through the maze of roads and streets that she could have known better.
He pressed his lips together, drifting into his own thoughts as they wove down the unfamiliar roads that would get them to the clinic. Hiss winced. It had been the only clinic that would see him on such short notice, Fyr had been right. Why did he have to have a physical at all? He tried to tell himself to stop thinking of it, but the thoughts crept into his mind, forcing their way in.
Darn it...
Leaning back, he half-closed his eyes, the world before him greying in a fuzz of eyelashes. Was it darker outside?
The truck rumbled and rattled, a soothing lullaby. The feline purred.
"Hey, wake up."
Hiss jerked upright, the fur on his cheek ruffled up in the wrong direction from where he'd leant against the window. He cursed and roughed it up with the flat of his paw as he glanced out the window, the clouds having rolled in to obscure the clear blue sky and Hiss' nose wrinkled as the truck coughed, spitting out a puff of dark smoke.
At his curse, the dragoness in the driver's seat twisted around and clicked her teeth together as Hiss shrank back into the back seats.
"Don't let me catch you using that language again, mister. I'm watching you."
Despite her light words, Hiss gulped and nodded, having the good grace to sheepishly lower his years.
"Sorry, mom, didn't think."
Fyr nodded, sliding from the truck in one fluid motion, tail balancing her as she landed on the tarmac outside.
"Try to think next time." She shook her head and took a deep breath, nostrils flaring slightly as she took in the scents of the city, all gasoline, fast food outlets and the undercurrent of cigarette smoke. "Or else you'll be cursed with the one thing that all young males in their prime fall prey to."
The door closed behind her tail and Hiss scurried to catch up, dropping to the kerb with a soft grunt. His tentacles undulated gently, one squirming across Fyr's shoulders. The dragoness hissed through her teeth and jumped, shooting him a look.
"Or maybe you're already prey to it, my not-so-young-anymore son, hm?"
She winked, tongue poking out of the corner of her lips in an almost flirtatious manner. Hiss swallowed, the look in her eye sending his stomach into twists and knots that he would never have admitted to - at least not aloud. The cougar shook himself, forcing his tentacle to withdraw. He trapped the tip in a closed fist and scowled down at it as it squirmed pathetically. The damn thing did have a mind of its own sometimes.
"Erm..." Hiss rubbed the back of his neck. "I don't know about that..."
