Chapter 1: A KITTY IN THE HOUSE

Aya entered the shop with tired steps. It had been a long day. Yesterday, the four of them had returned from a mission injured but alive. Too exhausted to even eat, they had gone to bed immediately. When they woke up in the morning, they had to open the shop and faced their excited fangirls. Aya was on the edge of screaming at them to leave, but the puppy look from Omi restrained him from doing it.

So, when his break came, the redhead had jumped at the chance to leave the hellish shop and went to the only peaceful place he knew. His imouto's hospital room. Looking at her always made him feel calm and serene. Her lips, though calm, always graced him with the semblance of a gentle smile at each of his visit. Even in her endless sleep, she could soothe him whenever he needed comfort and reassurance.

Shutting the front door behind him, Aya immediately noticed how calm the shop was. It was already 8 p.m., customers had long since left. What was strange though was the quietness of the house, it was unusual. All those who lived here would have to agree with the redhead. There were always laughter, cries, yells and sound of things being broken. Sometimes, Aya wondered how he had managed to live with one playboy, a genki computer obsessed kid, and a clumsy soccer-playing teen and still being sane.  

Fighting back a yawn, Aya decided he'd drink a cup of tea and then, go to bed quickly. He still couldn't brush aside the odd quietness though. Maybe Yohji was out on a date and Omi was upstairs with his computer. Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the mission room. As he approached the room, he recognized that it was coming from the TV. At this time of the night, it could only be one person…

Yes, it was Ken.

Walking silently, Aya looked over the back of the couch and saw the brunette asleep. He must have been watching some soccer game and fallen asleep *again*. Empty cans and popcorns kernels were scattered all over the couch and the coffee table. A red brow twitched. His obsessive compulsive tendencies towards cleanliness were screaming with outrage at this but Aya shut it down. He was too tired to yell at the younger man.

A sound coming from Ken brought Aya's attention, interrupting his musings. Wait… did Ken just… purr? Aya blinked, then looked over the couch. The brunette's face was buried in the cushions and his hands were laid against his chest. His pinkish lips were set in a pout, making the young teen look even more cutely childish. A tiny grin appeared on the redhead's face. Omi may be the youngest of the team, but his serious expressions made it so he looked older than his true age. But Ken… even if the soccer boy irritated him with his careless and clumsy ways; Ken's grins, smiles and puppy eyes could win over even the iciest of hearts, namely one belonging to the leader of Weiss.

A kittenish sound snapped him out of his thoughts again. He was right! Ken did purr. Chocolate locks fell into the brunette's face, while a pouty mouth was slightly opened, letting slow breaths escaped. Long brown eyelashes hid the sleeping man's mocha eyes. Without a second though, Aya's hand went over to Ken's face and stroked almost tenderly one tanned cheek. The older man marvelled at the soft skin, almost like touching one of the Koneko's flowers. Perfect.

And then, Ken curled around his warm hand and made another purr. Aya couldn't help it. He grinned.

Kitty Ken.

The grin stayed on his lips even when he went to bed later. He didn't understand why. But he was sure it had to do with Ken.

In the living room, the said brunette curled around the couch still asleep and sighed dreamily.

"Aya…"

TBC..?

So, how was it? Neko Kenken!!! Cute, ne?

Anyway, please tell me what you think! Thanks!
