The couple of crime

In the great big mansion in Victorian Grove lived the well known couple of cats Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. The two cheeky thieves always causing havoc on their owners and neighbours with their stealing and breaking things but they break by accident but they steal on purpose.

One clear starry night Rumpleteazer sat on the roof of the mansion looking out to the neighbours houses. She was thinking on the house she stole from and looked at her prize. It was a small vest that matched her patterns, it was meant for a Jack Russell but she liked it that much she couldn't help but take it. But she wasn't keeping it for herself she was saving it for a certain someone she cared about.

" El'o chicken! Been waiting long?"

Rumpleteazer looked  to her left and smiled with excitement. There was her partner in crime Mungojerrie. The orange tabby grinned in delight while holding something behind his back.

"Hello ducks! No, not long at all. Whatcha got there behind your back?"

Mungojerrie walked forward smiling gently and rolled his eyes with gentle swaying forward and backwards. He talked to her in a cheeky tone.

"Oooo something for me Chicken, guess wot it iz?"

Rumpleteazer loved it when Mungojerrie spoils her with gifts and make it more special, tonight was a very special night for them.

"Let me guess Mungo...is it rump?!"
"Nope~"
" Is it grouse?! You know I love grouse!"
"Nope! Guess again Rumple~"
"Is it....ummm gasp! Is it shrimp with spicy tuna?! The family are having that for dinner tonight!"
"Yeaaaaaaaaaa-nope!~"
"Aww! I give up! Please tell me Mungo! Please"
"All'rite chicken, close ya eyes and ye get a big surprize~"

Rumpleteazer bounced up and down with eagerness and excitement. She closed her eyes tightly, She felt Mungojerrie taking her collar off  and placed something dangly around her neck. He gently led her to the window.

"Ok chicken~ open ya eyes!"

Rumpleteazer opened her eyes, she gasped with surprise, covered her mouth and few tears escaped her eyes.

"Ya...ya don't like it chicken?"
"No...I don't like it"

Mungojerrie looked at her surprised, his ears lowered down with disappointment but then he felt the air out of his lung when he felt Rumpleteazer hugging his chest.

" I LOVE IT!!"

Mungojerrie hugged his queen of crime and nuzzles her head with relief. How he loved his orange pattern partner, they had been together since they were little kittens, he couldn't blame other cats thinking they were siblings. They did look so much a like but they were not related in any way, Mungojerrie loved Rumpleteazer every way she was, her beautiful face, her eyes shined like the moon, her cuteness of her freckles, her cheekiness and high spirit.  Well he loved everything except when she cleans behind his ears when they groom together.
This was indeed the perfect moment to tell her how he felt but will she feel the same way about him?

"I have something for you too~"
"Ya do chicken?! Wat iz it?!"

Rumpleteazer went over to her sitting place, she grabbed the vest she stole and shows it to Mungojerrie.

"Listen Mungo, I know its nothing special but I know the fleas really did a number on your chest. I don't want you to feel bad, Honest I wouldn't, its just I notice you shiver from the cold at night and you barely go outside ar day time because your ashamed of your chest. I just want to see you happy again, I really miss your smile Ducks"

Mungojerrie took the vest, he looked at it carefully with judgement and put it on, it was indeed a perfect fit for him. He walked over to the window then looked at the effect of the vest, the vest matched his patterns perfectly and made him look like he never had a big patch of fur missing.

"Rumple...I love it! Tis  iz absolutely perfect! Thank ya luv!"

Rumpleteazer blushed at his comments but then her ears perked up one word that caught her attention.

"Did you just call me.....love?"

Mungojerrie flinched when he noticed he said the word he wanted to say to Rumpleteazer.

"Hehehe, I called ya luv a few timez."
"No you don't Mungojerrie, this is the first time you said it"

Uh oh when Rumpleteazer uses Mungojerrie full name, she was in a serious mood.  

"Well I..ya see...ummm Rumple...... I...geez...thiz...thiz is hard to..s-say"

Mungojerrie blushed hard, trying to get the words out of his head. But he remembered what Munkustrap the Jellicel protector of the junkyard said to him. He remembered the words clearly saying that he must speak from the heart not from the mind and that's the Jellicel cat way.

"Ok...I will com out clean Rumple...the truth iz, I luv you but not ina sister way. I luv you more then anything, I luv you more then stealin, I luv you more then rump and joint, I luv-"

He was cut off from his speech when Rumpleteazer kissed him on his lips tenderly, she nuzzled his chest lovely while purring with pure joy.

"Well it took you long enough~"
"Ya meen-"
"I love you too Mungojerrie"
"Well in that case"

Mungojerrie bend down with one knee, he took Rumpleteazer's paw hand, nuzzles it gently while purring deep. He looked into Rumpleteazer's shinning eyes while he smiled with joy.

"Rumpleteazer, me cheeky partner in crime. Will ya be my mate?"

Rumpleteazer eyes filled with tears of joy again, looked at Mungojerrie's eyes and nodes, with excitement she leaps into his chest knocking him down on his back.

"Yes! I do! I thought you never asked!"

The two partner in crime kissed each other tenderly with such love. They hugged each other tightly not wanting this moment to vanish so soon. They will be together as known as Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer the 'couple' of crime.
