Summary: Nova attempts to offer Mordecai the kind of support he’s always rejected, that he feels obligated to ignore, and he discovers that for the first time someone may actually be getting through to him.
*Author’s Note*: Just a short, sweet little thing for me and Mordecai. I always want to expand our relationship and write about him more, but for some reason coming up with something useful is a little difficult for me. But this turned out nicely, so that’s all that matters! Also, I mention being “human” in here because…I mean, in terms of the universe, the characters don’t actually consider themselves cats and stuff, so. Just go with it lol, but they’re still very much their furry selves. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy!
Mordecai wasn’t used to sharing anything with anyone. Not his feelings, his opinions, his doubts. Of course, he also wasn’t the type to beat around the bush when it came to something he found absurd. He would denounce it without pause, and occasionally suffer minimal scolding for his attitude. But it was always easier to deal with that kind of response, with something so inconsequential and meaningless to him. Sometimes, even the words that came from the few people he actually held in high regard were petty and inconsequential to him. He’d never engaged in much self-reflection about why he thought this way, since it had never really bothered him. He’d adapted this behavior as a benefit to himself…and now it seemed like she was trying to undo all of that.
