Mine to Love

A three week old, white kitten was curled up in a tight ball. Earlier that day, her owner had taken her and her siblings, put them in a cardboard box, and set them on the streets. All day people came and went to see the kittens. Her siblings were taken to new homes and she was left all alone. It was dark out and she was thirsting for milk, but her mother was nowhere to be found. She hated being alone and it was so cold out. She curled up into a tighter ball. The kitten was far too young that she couldn't jump out of the box herself. She had barely started walking. Each time she stood she was a little wobbly and after taking a couple of steps she would fall over.

She opened her eyes to reveal dark blue orbs and she looked upwards where she had seen so many faces today. Perhaps if she cried someone will come. People had come when they heard her siblings crying. They got the love and attention they were seeking. Perhaps if she did the same, she won't be alone anymore. So, the kitten cried. It sounded more of a sharp squeak than an actual meow, but she was still so young and still learning how to communicate with others. The little kitten continued to cry and squeak while her thin tail swished back and forth. Her ears twitched and her nose wiggled, hoping to sniff out her mother's warm milk.

Alucard and Sebastian were walking home after having a lovely dinner when they both heard the soft cries of a kitten. They both came to a stop. One male looked absolutely heartbroken while the other looked highly annoyed. Alucard sighed before he turned on his heel to give his lover a stern look.

"No," He said simply. "You do this all the damn time. You bring a stray into our home and it tears up all of our furniture, marks its territory, and hisses, claws, and bites at me and Baskerville. And then I'm the bad guy because we have to end up getting rid of it. We are not getting another cat, Michaelis."

"But listen to her cries." Sebastian responded while he searched the streets for where the cries were coming from. "She sounds scared. There's a kitten that wants to be loved; she wants a home. I can't ignore those cries."

"No," Alucard said once more with an even darker look. Finally finding where the cries were coming from, Michaelis walked over to find a gorgeous little kitten. Her fur was pure white and she had big blue orbs that stared up at him. Once she saw him, she squeaked even louder. Immediately, he swept down to pick the kitten up and cradles her small body in his arms. The kitten instantly started to purr and lick his fingers as he tried soothing her by petting her.

"Oh, look at her, Alucard!" Sebastian exclaimed as he turned and held the kitten up for him to see. "She's a little beauty. Her fur is so soft and she's so young. How could you look into those eyes and say no?"

"Put her down. She's probably filthy." Alucard snarled while he scowled at the kitten. Suddenly Michaelis gave him an equally dark look.

"I put up with Baskerville even though I hate dogs. All I want is one cat. I am going to keep her, so deal with it." With that said, the male turned and started making his way home again with the kitten in his arms.

"Very well, you can keep her." His lover said with a wave of his hand, acting like he was the one who had control of this situation.

"Isn't she gorgeous?" Sebastian asked as he stroked over the kitten's back. She purred away in his arms and rubbed her head over his hand tenderly. Her little pink tongue slipped out to lick the tips of his fingers causing the male to laugh at her in adoration. "Such pure white fur and dark blue sapphire eyes," His eyes practically sparkled as he admired her beauty. Alucard trailed behind him with an annoyed look on his face. It had been a perfect evening and he was hoping to have gone home to have sex, but it doesn't look like he'll be getting any tonight.

"Please, don't name it." He muttered under his breath, praying to whoever was listening that his lover won't get too attached to that feline.

"How long have you been out here all alone?" He asked her in that baby voice he only used for cats. Alucard rolled his eyes.

"Please, don't name it." He continued to beg under his breath.

"Are you hungry? I bet you are." Sebastian went on speaking in that ridiculous voice and asking the kitten questions that she couldn't possibly answer.

"Don't. Name. It." Alucard begged softly.

"What are we going to name you?" His lover asked and he scratched her chin. Alucard gave a loud sigh and he hung his head in defeat. "Lady? Princess? Queen? Duchess?"

"Enough with the frilly names and call her something normal if you're going to keep her. I refuse to call a cat by 'princess' or 'queen'." He practically growled with another roll of his eyes.

"Fine," Sebastian sighed and he looked back at the kitten. He thought hard about it as they approached their apartment building. But it didn't come to him until they were in the elevator. "I've got it!" He exclaimed and glanced at Alucard with a smirk. His lover looked absolutely exhausted as he turned his head to look at him.

"What?" The male practically groaned.

"Seras," Michaelis purred and he smiled brightly at the purring kitten. Alucard shook his head with a look of disgust.

"Seras?" He repeated in disbelief. "You want to name her Seras? That's such a stupid name. How did you come up with that?"

"I heard it somewhere, can't remember where." Sebastian muttered as they got off the elevator and headed towards their flat. "But I think it's a cute name." As Alucard was pulling out the keys to their flat, Michaelis stopped him by grabbing his sleeve. "Hold on, how are we going to introduce Seras to Baskerville?"

"You're seriously sticking with that name?" His lover responded as he gently pulled his arm free and tried again to unlock the door.

"Yes, especially since you didn't even bother help name her. Her name is Seras." Sebastian said with a nod of his head and he held the kitten closer to his chest. "Now, how are we going to introduce the two of them without a fight breaking out?" A wide grin flashed across Alucard's face before he turned to grab the kitten by the scruff of her neck. Seras hung in his grasp, but did nothing to fight him. She only stared up at him curiously as he pulled her out of Sebastian's arms and held her high in the air.

"I have an idea," The male purred before he opened the door just a little to toss the kitten down on the floor in the center of their living room and closed the door quickly.

"Alucard!" Sebastian exclaimed with a fiery look in his eyes. "Are you mad?! Baskerville is going to tear her apart like his toys!" He tried going for the door, but Alucard only grabbed him by the shoulder and pushed him back with an even wider grin.

"Just wait and listen." He chuckled. Michaelis willingly went silent only to hear that…it was pretty quiet inside of their apartment. What was going on in there? By now Baskerville would be barking or the kitten would be hissing and yowling. But there was nothing. Not a single peep. Had the dog ate the kitten whole? He became so very worried for little Seras, but he continued to stand there and gently gnaw on his bottom lip, waiting for a noise so he could barge in and rescue her.

Seras lied on her stomach in the middle of a tiny living room. Across from her were a small sofa and a coffee table. To the side was a bookcase with books and movies. To her right was a small kitchen, a door to a bathroom, and another door leading to a bedroom. All was quiet until the kitten saw a giant, black dog calmly leave the bedroom. His paws were huge, about the size of her. His tail was thick and his long ears hung on either side of his head. His mouth was slightly open, just enough so his tongue could hang out and he could pant. But the second the dog caught sight of the unexpected visitor, his mouth closed and he stood up straighter. Seras remained still though and she sniffed the air curiously. She wasn't afraid since she had never encountered a dog before. She was a curious and brave little thing. And even if she was scared of Baskerville, there was no way she could defend herself or even run since she couldn't even walk yet.

The black dog was cautious as he walked over to the kitten. He lowered his big head and sniffed the floor as he got closer and closer to her, almost like he didn't know what she was even though he's encountered many cats in his day. Baskerville was okay with cats. He liked them just fine; the only problem was he was too rough with them. He got too excited when seeing a cat and wanted to play, but all the other cats were frightened of him and tried attacking him. Before fully reaching the kitten, Baskerville moaned and fell onto his stomach with his head between his paws. He wasn't afraid of the cat, but just the idea that this cat might lash out on him as well. He's learned his lesson not to charge a cat or playfully bite at them or jump on them. The dog continued to sniff at his new furry friend and she sniffed in return, watching him with those big blue eyes. The kitten then gave a little mew sound before she attempted to stand. Her shaking legs held her well as she took a couple of steps forward before falling back onto her belly. Seras now lied between the dog's big paws with their faces just an inch apart. She leaned forward to sniff some more at him. Her little pink nose pressed into his big black nose and she gave him an affectionate lick.

Baskerville's thick tail started swishing across the floor as it wagged back and forth fast. The little feline started to purr as he gently licked one of her small paws. Afterwards, the black dog climbed to his feet to tower over the fearless kitten. He lowered his head and gently picked the kitten up by the back of her neck. He carried her across the room back into the bedroom where he had been sleeping for the past several hours. He jumped up onto the bed, curled right up, and placed the kitten between his paws right where she belonged.

"It's been awfully quiet, Alucard." Sebastian whispered as he stood out in the hall, looking similar to a paranoid and worried mother. "Can we please go in now and check on them? I don't want to find a dead cat." Alucard couldn't help but cackle out loud. "What?"

"Nothing, it was just the thought of going in to find a perfectly fine cat but a dead dog beside her." The male snickered.

"You have a dark and twisted sense of humor, Alucard. Sometimes I appreciate it and other times I worry about you, I really do." Michaelis admitted to him.

"You're starting to sound like my mother." Alucard grumbled before he pushed open the door. Much to Sebastian's horror there was no sign of the cat or dog.

"Oh, no, Alucard, where is she?!" Michaelis instantly went into panic mode.

"She's a cat; she's probably already getting into something she shouldn't be." The male muttered in disinterest as he closed and locked the door behind him.

"Where's Baskerville?!" Sebastian exclaimed, deciding to go straight to blaming the dog on the disappearance of the cat.

"You shriek like my mother too." Alucard added before he snapped his fingers. "Baskerville," He called for his dog. From the bedroom they heard his thunderous bark. Seconds later, he trotted out of the bedroom in pure excitement. He wagged his tail and whined when seeing his master. He ran over to Alucard's side and immediately stood up on his back legs to place his paws on the tall man's shoulders. His owner grinned at him and cupped his face. "Tell me, did you eat that filthy cat?" He asked his dog playfully while Sebastian continued to panic and search the apartment for his new pet.

"Alucard! Stop it and help me find her!" Michaelis demanded. But they didn't have to look far. From the bedroom, Seras bounced out on her shaky legs. Seeing Baskerville she had the confidence and strength to walk all the way over to him, crying and mewing for his attention. The black dog pushed off of Alucard's shoulders to place his paws back on the floor and he turned sharply to face the kitten. He got into a low stance while his tail went absolutely crazy. The feline purred as she rubbed her body over the dog's muzzle and nuzzled his face lovingly. Alucard and Sebastian stood there in pure disbelief. The cat was actually getting along with the dog? Baskerville was at least ten times her size! Wasn't she even a little afraid of the giant monstrous dog? And the dog seemed to absolutely adore the kitten. He was actually being gentle with her which was the first. Michaelis shook his head, ridding himself of the disbelief and anxiety he had recently felt. He sighed in relief and walked over to pick Seras up. "Aren't you a brave little soldier?" He whispered to her with a soft smile. "I can't believe how quickly you made friends with that monstrous dog of his. But I will be even more astonished the day you and Alucard can get along."

"Is this going to become a regular thing?" Alucard asked who was now sitting on the sofa with an annoyed look on his face.

"What?" Sebastian asked and he blinked stupidly at the man. Baskerville jumped up onto the sofa to join his master. He lied down and rested his head in the man's lap.

"Talking to the cat like she's an actual person," His lover grumbled with a wave of his hand before placing it on top of Baskerville's head.

"Well, I can tell you this, Alucard. I have far more enjoyment talking to the cat than I do to you." Michaelis answered sharply with a smirk. He didn't miss it when a wide grin crossed over Alucard's face and a hint of lust glistened in his eyes.

"I can think of other things we enjoy together that doesn't involve talking." He purred. Sebastian snickered in agreeance.

"Let me get the cat situated first and then…we can't talk afterwards." Michaelis spoke in a soft, seductive voice. Alucard made a breathy sound as he reached down to rub over the bulge in his pants.

"But I'm ready now." He chuckled before he unbuckled his pants and pulled out his cock to stroke over it.

"Be patient or you can do the job yourself," Sebastian scoffed with a shake of his head.

"Care for your kitten." Alucard sighed while he glanced down at his cock. "I'll be here waiting." While he kept himself busy, Michaelis took Seras into the bathroom. The kitten was doing all she can to climb up his shirt using by using her nails. She purred so very loudly and each time she reached his chin, before he would pull her back down, she would rub her head against his and lick him lovingly with a sweet mew.

"Forgive me," Sebastian snickered as he turned one of the faucets on the sink so water could start pouring into the basin. He waited a good few seconds for the water to get warm before he put in the stopper so water could fill the sink. Afterwards, he turned off the water and gingerly placed the kitten into her first bath. The second her feet touched the water she started to panic. Her foot jerked, splashing water out of the sink and onto Sebastian's clothing and she struggled in his hold. Having done this a thousand times, he simply shushed her while stroking over her back to calm her. "It's alright," He whispered as he again tried placing her in the water. After several attempts, he finally got her calm enough to sit in the water. He then patiently waited for her to get used to that much. The poor little thing was shivering. Seras wouldn't so much as let Sebastian move his hand without her freaking out on him. He had to keep his hand on her back to keep her calm. He continued to stroke over her back while gently hushing her as he reached under the sink to grab a small bottle of body wash. But the second he squirted some onto her back, she panicked all over again. The kitten gave a loud cry of disappointment as she clawed at his wrist, trying desperately to climb up his arm and get away from this bath of hell.

"Seras," Sebastian said in a stern voice and he carefully pushed her back into her bath. He did the best he could to scrub her clean as she tried many times to escape. Eventually, the white kitten found the ability to jump. She jumped right out of her bath and used her nails to climb up Sebastian. He was bewildered by the way she clung to him, almost like she was a child hugging him and silently begging for him to stop. She was still all soapy. His clothes were wet and smelled strongly of cat, but he didn't mind. He just felt bad that he had to put her through this even though it was good for her. "We're almost done," He promised her and he struggled a little trying to get her claws untangled from his shirt. He placed her back in her bath and rinsed away the suds until she was all clean. Sebastian smiled down at the kitten and finally released her so she could freely climb back up him.

"There, that wasn't so bad, was it?" He asked the shivering feline as she continued to cry. He grabbed the hand towel and wrapped it around her small, shivering form. While he dried her off, he continued to talk to her. "Here I thought I wouldn't be getting any after picking you up." He told her as if she would understand what he was talking about. "Not only did I get a kitten tonight, but I get to have sex as well. Tonight has turned out rather splendid, right?" Sebastian then kissed the top of her head. "And don't worry about Alucard. Eventually he'll warm up to you. But do be careful around that oaf of his. I don't want that monstrous dog crushing you with those giant paws of his or biting off that cute little head of yours. I swear, if he does anything to you, he's out of here."

"Are you done yet?" Alucard asked as his lover left the bathroom with the kitten wrapped tightly in a towel. He watched silently as Michaelis carried the feline all the way to the kitchen. "It's not a baby, you know."

"She's a kitten; she's a baby." Sebastian corrected him. Alucard shook his head with a toothy grin.

"But she's not your baby." He rephrased his comment.

"She is now. She had no mother, her siblings were nowhere to be found, and her owner appeared to have given her up. So, she's my baby." Michaelis sneered as he took the bottle of milk out of the fridge.

"You're a sad, fully grown man, you know that?" Alucard cackled. "Whatever do I see in you?"

"It's funny that you're the one asking that question. I'm constantly being asked what I see in you." Sebastian snickered while he poured the milk into a saucer. This caused Alucard's grin to falter.

"Who's asked you that?" He asked, sounding a little insecure. Michaelis paused to look over at his lover curiously only to see disappointment and some form of pain in his eyes. There was a long silence between the two before Sebastian could no longer look him in the eye. Perhaps he shouldn't have said anything? He hadn't meant to hurt Alucard. They were just going back and forth playfully, the same old thing they normally did.

"Just…co-workers," Michaelis whispered. "But forget them; they don't know what they're talking about." There was another moment of silence as he placed the milk back in the fridge before taking the saucer of milk over to the microwave. Alucard and he have been together for a good three years. Before that they had been good friends. He didn't regret a second taking him as a lover. But in other people's eyes, Alucard was 'unusual' by his inappropriate behavior. He came off too strongly and that bothered some people, but it didn't bother Sebastian. He liked where he was in life. He liked living with Alucard. They didn't have labels like 'boyfriend' or 'husband'. They lived together, shared the same bed, go out at night together, kissed, flirted, and had sex. It bothered people that they didn't acknowledge that they were in a relationship, but Alucard and Sebastian didn't care. They were happy. Both males jolted from their thoughts and feelings when the microwave went off. Michaelis took the saucer of milk out and placed it on the floor with a gentle smile. He unraveled Seras from her towel before setting her down in front of the milk.

"Drink up, young lady." He whispered and he stroked over her back as she sniffed at the milk curiously. After realizing what it was, the kitten started purring and lapping at the milk hungrily. Sebastian's smile widened and he slowly glanced over at Alucard who still waited for him on the sofa. The male walked across the room to stand in front of his lover. Michaelis bent at the hips to come face to face with him and he leaned in to kiss him on the mouth. Alucard just sat there with an amused look in his eyes while he was being kissed. He didn't bother kissing back, but he was getting all the more aroused. Once their kiss ended, they both smirked at each other. "I have to change out of my clothes. Perhaps you could assist me," Alucard glanced down to stare at his lover's wet shirt and his grin widened.

"I might have to get you new clothes because I'm going to tear them off of you." The male snickered. Sebastian snickered under his breath, stood up straighter, and walked off towards the bedroom. The other male happily followed and closed the door behind him so they wouldn't be interrupted by their pesky pets.

Seras purred away as she drank her milk. Her tail swished across the floor and milk dripped from her fur and whiskers. She was soon interrupted when Baskerville trotted over to sniff at her and her milk. The kitten licked over her milk covered lips and raised her head to stare up at the dog curiously. He helped her lick away the milk from her fur and whiskers. She lowered her head to go in for some more milk, but the stupid dog picked her up in his mouth and carried her away. Seras cried out for her milk and to be put down, but of course, she was ignored. Baskerville jumped up onto the couch, lied down, and set her between his paws so he could continue to lick the milk from her face. But the kitten was wired and hungry. She crawled off of him and carefully jumped down off of the sofa. Since she wasn't used to jumping or landing, she landed on her side, but she wasn't hurt. She flipped over onto her belly and stood up with ease. She then pounced back over to her milk.

Being overprotective and wanting to show her who's boss, Baskerville stepped off of the couch and walked back over to her. He picked her up by the back of her neck, accidentally dipping her face more in her milk, and carried her back to the sofa. But the second he set her down, that little kitten was running off to drink her milk. Giving up, the black dog settled himself behind the kitten with his paws on either side of her and he licked at her fur while she took care of her hunger. Baskerville playfully bit at her swishing tail and dug his paws into her sides, trying to keep her still. He groaned, whimpered, and whined while he played with his new 'toy'. Seras didn't seem to mind his existence. She sat up straighter and licked the milk from her fur again while she looked around the apartment. But something was different. Something was…off. Where was Sebastian? As soon as the kitten realized she was alone, she started crying out for her new owner.

The white cat jumped over the dog's paw as she travelled across the room, looking for Sebastian. Baskerville followed close behind her and sniffed at her more vigorously from her cries. Noises came from the bedroom, a loud thud sound from something hard hitting the wall followed by soft moans and pants. Seras recognized the sound of her new owner's voice and she trotted over to the closed bedroom door where she cried louder. Unintentionally, the black dog knocked the little kitten over with his nose as he pressed into her. She landed on her side but only to find that she could see somewhat into the room. She cried out to him and stuck her paws under the door as if she would be able to pull or push the door open. She was ignored though which only caused her to cry louder than before.

Baskerville moaned and picked up the kitten once more by the back of her neck. He carried her back to the sofa where he curled up with her between his paws. This time so the kitten can't escape, he placed a paw over her feet and his giant head on her side. Seras attempted to escape from under the dog, but she was trapped. She found this method playful so she started purring and pawing at the dog's face. He watched her nonchalantly, not hurt or bothered by the kitten gentle clawing or biting. Eventually, she tired herself out and after giving herself and the dog a small bath, her and Baskerville fell asleep.

Two hours later, Seras awoke to a dark apartment. She perked up her head to find that the bedroom door was now open and her owner was fast asleep beside Alucard. Wanting affection, the kitten easily crawled her way out from under Baskerville's head and, not waking him, she jumped down off of the sofa. She pounced her way to the dark bedroom and over to the bed where she stopped to stare at her newest challenge. How in the hell was she going to be able to get up there? But the kitten didn't even think about it as she got into a low stance and wiggled her butt before leaping. She was able to get ahold of the comforter with just her claws, but she wasn't strong enough to climb up the rest of the way. She lost her grip and fell onto her back. Seras cried for help to get up as she rolled back over onto her stomach.

She hopped to her feet and mewed all the way over to Alucard's side of the bed. One of his arms hung off the side of the bed. To get his attention, the kitten licked and nipped at his fingertips all the while crying for him to help her. The man awoke groaning in frustration and annoyance. He glanced down to find his lover's kitten at his side, begging to be let up on the bed. He knew she wouldn't go away and he knew that Sebastian would kill him if he threw the annoying kitten across the room. Giving in, Alucard reached down and scooped the kitten up. He rolled over onto his back so he could lay the feline between him and Sebastian. Of course, Seras didn't stay put. More than happy and still purring like a motorboat, the kitten jumped up onto Alucard's bare chest before he could roll back over. The man look annoyed, but too tired to deal with her. He let her curl up into a tight ball under his chin where she fell asleep. Alucard snickered at the brave kitten and he stroked over her fur.

"Only for tonight," He whispered to her, even though he had the feeling that this will be a habit of hers that he'll never be able to break.
