Little Lost Shota

Kanato knew deep down going mushroom hunting for his older brother probably wasn't going to be worth the sweets he was getting, but the offering of raspberry pudding seemed like a lovely idea at that moment.

It was his preferred flavor and favorite after all. But unfortunately for this vampire he had gone a bit too far in the forest where the supposed rare mushrooms were.

He didn't want to admit it but he was more lost than ever, then again he didn't usually go out often, he often stayed in his room. The vampire looked down at his plush teddy bear as he bit his lip.

"Teddy, don't worry, we'll find a way back." Saying those words, he wasn't sure if he was reassuring himself or his only friend.

A bit more walking, apparently further in the woods rather than a way away from it, he spotted a manor.

At first he thought it was his home until he got closer. He was hesitant to get near, a manor way out here was a big sign of possible vampires living there, or some other beings that weren't human at all.

He could defend himself, or flee if needed, as he approached he noted the area. It would be difficult for him if he didn't have night vision. Kanato looked for the entrance of this place and hoped whoever lived here could help out.

He was polite, at least could be politer than his brothers, taking the effort to knock on the door instead of just teleporting in.

When the door opened on its own Kanato narrowed his eyes but slowly and surely walked in.

It was a feeling of déjà vu as he walked around the seemingly abandon mansion.

He let of a huff his lavender eyes repressing the irritation that was beginning to build in his eyes.

He felt a presence of a group of people, so why weren't they showing themselves, why weren't they making themselves known to him we he was so obviously in need of their help.

How rude of them.

He let out a sigh of agitation tightening his grip on teddy before deciding that he would just go to them.

He stepped into the living room when he felt the presence of another but paused when his eyes landed on what appeared to be an assortment of sweets spread out.

A tray of cookies and tea cakes laid sloppily upon the couch as if someone had tossed it there and fled.

Kanato's nose twitched, the sweets were fresh. His eyes looked around the room the presence he had felt had left the moment he stepped inside.

"How curious, don't you think Teddy?" Kanato mused out loud.

He took a step forward wanting to taste the sweets that someone had so easily left behind when he heard a crunching sound under his foot.

Kanato frowned looking down to see cookies on the floor.

When as his eyes caught a trail of cookie crumbles leading out of the living room and up a set of stairs he looked at his companion. "Should we follow this trail Teddy?"

Kanato's lips twitched into a smile as he grabbed two cookies from the tray while also following the trail. "I agree, let's see if this trail leads to the person that made these sweets. Perhaps they can tell us how to get home before I kill them for their inconsideration of making me search for them!"

Kanato followed the trail all the way to a room.

He pressed his ear to the door his grip tightening on teddy when he heard the sound of classical music.

He went to open the door when the door suddenly opened on its own revealing a large bedroom that held six beds, three on each side while there in the middle of the room sat a table filled with sweets and tea cups filled with sweet smelling tea.

And if that didn't strike the shota as odd; the fact that seven chairs were seated around the table, five of those chairs being sat in by stuffed animals dressed in cute clothes was a red flag for him.

He paused at the door. Kanato was no fool.

His lilac eyes narrowed as he scanned the room, once he was sure there was nothing living in the room he walked in, immediately drawn to center where the table sat innocently.

His eyes looked at the beds, they were each big enough for him to sleep comfortably. They were all decorated cutely although he could see a different style in each one; he walked closer when he caught the sight of writing on the foot of the bed.

His hand trailed over the beautiful engraving, the first bed said 'Hanabi' and had the stars and the moon craved delicately around it. His eyes moved to the other beds to see that they also had names and cute decorative symbols engraved into them, 'Hachiko' had bones and paw prints, 'Eirin' had flowers and carrots, 'Toralei' had claw marks and fishes 'Amara' had clouds and rainbows.

He walked over to the last bed, it wasn't like the others it was more masculine. It lacked the cute delicate designs that the others had, the name centered in the middle with a line underneath 'Theo'

And unlike the others bed, the one that belonged to 'Theo' looks as if it had not been used in quite a long time, although that didn't mean it was unkempt, quite the opposite actually. Kanato could tell despite it not being used someone had been keeping it clean.

Perhaps they were expecting this 'Theo' to come back one day and wanted it ready for his return…

His eyes took in the expensive looking tea cups painted over with pink and purple flowers; he tilted his head as he stared at the cups watching the waspy waves of white smoke.

This tea was freshly made, just like the sweets.

His eyes rolled around the room, someone prepared the tea and drinks. He looked down at the stuffed animals.

He would never admit it out loud but he found as strikingly cute as Teddy if not more so.

Kanato held teddy tighter trying to dispel the sudden urge to pick up one of the other stuffed animals.

What an odd setting, a fox, a dog, a bunny, a cat and a lamb sat together filling five chairs for a tea party but there were two open seats.

His eyes widened when he noticed a card placed in one of the seats…was that there before?

Curious we reached out grabbing it and reading it.

Greeting and salutations Kanato Sakamaki,

We've been waiting for you…

Ok, now Kanato was on edge. Someone else was definitely here, and knew he was here as well.


Ok, probably shouldn't be writing this, but eh, yolo and besides, Kanato-kun needs more love!

The poor dear has freaking bags under his eyes from lack of hugs for pete's sake!
