January
It was in the middle of January and, everything in Gifu Japan was engulfed in snow. There still was a light dust here and there which made the Japanese man who was scurrying by shiver. His dark eyes stared around a moment before running into a building. His face was completely pink and, his fingers felt numb even though he obviously had gloves to cover them. Hercules jumped as he saw the shivering man walk over to him "err…Are you okay Kiku?" He asked placing a hand on his shoulder. "It's been extremely could lately…Its very exciting" answered Kiku. Hercules raised an eyebrow but kept his serious face on.
"You where shivering..."
"So..."
Hercules shrugged simply as he was lead upstairs and into a wide room filled with different scents. It was filled with a verity of colors that seemed to twist and swirl on the wall paper. He could make out the faint Japanese letters that where carved into them. "Ugh..." He murmured pulling his shoes off. There where candles everywhere and only a few cushions to sit on. "Um, uh Kiku what are we doing?" The Japanese man smiled up at him "aromatherapy."
The Greek glanced around and he did see small dishes made from glass sitting almost everywhere. This is a perfect place to take a nap shaking his head at the thought he wasn't going to fall asleep, not if it would impress Kiku. Sighing Hercules sat down Indian style taking a deep breath. He really didn't understand how this really helped you heal and he went through a spectacle about why or, why not it didn't help in his mind, of course.
Opening his eye's to be delight no one was there but, him and Kiku. Sighing deeply he turned his head half way so he was looking towards the man but, also so he looked as if you weren't paying close attention. Thankfully this place only allowed one animal per person so a small black kitten was playing behind him. "Um Kiku...When are we uh- never mind..." He turned his head fully so he was staring down at the maple floor.
Kiku drew a deep breath before a small smile lit up is face. Opening his dark eyes he stared at Hercules "hmm, oh yes...You must be tired...This was the longest you have gone without a nap..." To the Greeks point of view he sounded impressed. Sighing he let his legs extend to their full content. Letting out a small yawn Hercules took in a deep breath his eyes fixing on Kiku. Closing his eyes and lying down drifting into another one of his naps.

Hercules awoke to soft muttering and a group of people surrounding him. He opened his green eyes which were met with darker ones. "Oh my, I thought you'd never wake up" Kiku's voice was very soft and the Greek could see spots of where tears fell down his face. Shaking his head and cracking a smile Hercules cupped his hands around Kiku's face "you know better to worry about me waking up." He leaned close to him kissing each cheek lightly. The Japanese man blushed and stood up "sore wa, kare ga me o samashita ii hito o miru" all the other Japanese people nodded and started to move away starring at the Greek one last time before turning their heads completely.
Kiku sighed "you where asleep for 10 hours…If that normal?"
"In Greece it is..."
Shaking his head Kiku pulled his shoes on "I thought you might've passed out because of the scents." Hercules got up, he wanted to wrap himself around Kiku but, he knew that the Japanese man would not like it. Taking his hand Hercules sighed and said something he would never say in a thousand years "I'm sorry…" Turning around abruptly and sliding his shoes on him left leaving Kiku there, completely dazed.

Hercules sighed as he entered his house a mound of kittens coming after him. A tabby silver one rubbed her head against his leg and he bent down to scratch her behind the ears. Sighing he picked up his giant cross, spun it around in his hands holding onto it tightly. Quickly taking his shoes off and crashing onto the couch.
Hercules could careless right now; all he wanted to do was rest. Replaying what just happened in his head he recalled seeing tear marks on Kiku's face. Sighing he leaned back a cat curling up in his lap and another one curling up on his side. He ran his finger though the cat in his lap's fur and a knock came to the door. "It's open!" He yelled flipping his hand towards the door. He was surprised to see Kiku quickly take is shoes off replacing them with slippers.
Sitting beside him Kiku coughed lightly "um, why did you leave? Y-you said sorry…You don't say that word very often do you Hercules?" The Greek looked over at him his eye's showing no emotion "yeah." Kiku sighed twisting the tip of the cat's tail making it purr softly. Hercules starred at the cat and then at Kiku "that's how I feel around you. When you touch me my howl body fills with warmth." The Japanese man starred at Hercules that was probably one of the most touching things anyone has ever said to him. Sighing Kiku grabbed Hercules' hand and smiled towards him lightly. His smile faded away as he thought for a moment "b-but I can't be with you my boss…He is really strict-." Kiku was suddenly cut off from his babbling.
