First I'd like to say that I'm sorry for not updating for so long and that I'm sorry for stopping A High School Romance. I didn't want to do any of those things but hey, shift happens and sometimes you gotta let that shift happen, am I right?

I hope you enjoy this new story. It contains three things that I love: yaoi, nekos, and shotas!

The rain pattered softly on a black umbrella. The man under the umbrella stopped walking and looked up. Big, dark clouds rolled through the sky, thunder sounded off in the background. It was going to storm again for the umpteenth time this month. The weather man said to expect more rain for the next few days but the way it's been raining, the man suspected that that wasn't the case.
Sighing, the man started walking again. He really didn't mind the rain but it was making his job boring and difficult. There were only so many times you can have children do their ABC's before they just stop listening all together. Who knew three year olds could be so vicious?
While walking, he noticed movement on his left side. He stopped walking and turned to face an alley way filled with trash cans and over turned boxes. He walked to the mouth of it and saw movement again. It was a box and now it was moving farther to the back of the alley.
He went after the box. Normally he wouldn't do such a thing but today, he had a feeling that he needed to investigate this box. 'I can't believe I'm doing this…' he thought as he picked up the box.
Whatever was under the box had let out a squeak and scurried off behind a trash can. "What the hell?" the man dropped the box and his umbrella and looked after whatever had ran off. He went to the cans and peeked behind it.
Behind the cans was a boy. He had dark blonde hair and big golden eyes. His clothes were soaking wet and his hair was messy and matted to his head. He pulled his coat tighter around him, trying to keep himself warm. He looked about 8 years of age, but that's not the only thing that was strange about the boy. What was extremely strange was that the boy had two fair-haired ears atop his head and a tail with a white end to match.
The man stared at the cat-boy. When he took a step forward, the cat-boy shrunk back into his corner, his tail curling around him and his ears lying flat on his head. The boy tried to move away from him some more. "S-stay away!"
The man took a step back. "Okay, okay. I'm sorry." he smiled and squatted down to close to his level. "My name is Roy, what's yours?"
The boy looked at him. "I-I'm Edward…" he sneezed.
"Bless you. Now Ed, can I call you that?" The boy nodded. "What are you doing out here? Don't you have a home?"
"No." Ed shook his head. "Well, I don't think I have a home."
"Do you have a mommy and daddy?"
The boy shook his head again and sneezed. "I'm cold."
"I am too. Why don't we go back to my house to get warm? Are you hungry too?" Roy smiled. "What do you like to eat?"
Ed moved closer to Roy, started to feel a little more comfortable with the man. "I um…I like fish but sardines are the best…do you have any sardines?"
"No but we can go buy some, after we get you cleaned up."
Ed stood up and dusted himself off, even though it didn't make much of a difference in how dirty his clothes are. "Can I have warm cream too?"
Roy put his hands on his waist and stood, taking him up with him. "That depends if you're good from now until we get home, okay?"
The boys' tail was lowered, hanging over Roy's arm, the tip curled a little. He rested his head on Roy's shoulder, purring loudly. "Thank you Mr. Roy."
"You're very welcome, Ed." Roy reached for his umbrella and that's when he realized that it has finally stopped raining and that the sun was slowly coming out. "I think it's going to start being sunny for now, what do you think?" he folded up his umbrella and exited the alley.
"I think so too." he smiled up at Roy.

Ed meowed angrily, his tail flicking from side to side, just as angry as his meows. "I don't want a bath!"
"But you need one!" Roy scolded, pouring a cup full of water over his head to rinse out the soap. "I'm almost done anyway and when I finish you can eat then."
Ed flicked his tail, water flying off. "I hate baths."
Roy chuckled. "I think every kid does. The kids at the daycare do too."
"Daycare?" Ed looked up at his new caretaker. "What's a daycare?"
"It's where parents bring their children so I can watch over them while they go to work. You'll be coming there with me too."
"Is it fun? Will I have fish?"
"I think its fun and I'll bring you fish for lunch, how's that sound?"
"That's okay, as long as I can have it to myself." he took the blue rubber ducky and squeezed it. "Mr. Roy?"
"Yes Ed?"
"Why don't you have ears and a tail…I didn't see anyone else with ears and a tail either." he looked up at him.
"I don't know why but we'll find out, I promise." he drained the water and wrapped a towel around Ed, picking him up. "Until then, let's get you cleaned and fed then off to bed."
"Okay…" Ed rested his head on his shoulder, purring softly and his tail swaying slowly.

I think I'll make this a short one but I hope to add tons of fluff to it. I love fluff as well.
