" Hey, Hiro.. "
" What? "
" Didn't you say that you were going to watch this with Kisa..? " the feline lifted a hand to point at the cartoons that were currently occupying the TV screen. It was Hiro's favorite.. and apparently Kisa had become interested in the subject. So he promised he'd bring it to her.. because it was cool?-- No. Because it was lame.
" Why should I answer to you, anyway? Aren't you the one who's always assuming people should keep their noses where they belong? Or is it that you've become less concious of the words that spill out? I wouldn't be surprised. "
" What did you say, you little brat?! "
A shrug graced those smaller shoulders as he looked towards a new line of view, instead of facing the other male. " You heard. Unless you're becoming deaf at an early age. "
" Alright, that's it ' baah ' - boy! " And a fist full of fabric now occupied that strong fist of the exiled member of the zodiac in order to tow the shorter closer to indicate his temper meter reaching its peek. " You say stuff as if you're the king of the world when you're just a snot - nosed, little bastard who hasn't even grown out of his diapers! All I asked you was if you were going to see it with Kisa-- ! "
" What if I didn't want to! " Those words interrupted the boy's statement; his strands serving as his only line of defense against his true emotions. " She's.. better off now. "
" .. hey, wait. What're you-- "
" She's moved on! What're you, stupid or something?! "
" Moved on? You mean as in.. " His grip on the material loosened its hold allowing them to settle back into his sitting spot in a small pause of silence until Hiro's quivering tone of voice came into play ..
" She.. told me.. that, well. She doesn't really feel.. like how she did before. "
" Huh. Did she say why? " Body now slouched allowing the orange haired male to view those features as if he was about to crumble. Blinking a couple of times-- he had never seen the sheep this way before. He never thought that it'd be possible for him to seem as if his whole world was crashing around his ears. But he was.. and all he could do was curl an arm around those small shoulders and tow that shivering being against his own in a small sign of comfort and understanding " I'm sure.. that she has her reasons.. yanno? Maybe.. she wants to be friends. But I doubt she'd want to break a friendship like how you two have. It'd seem weird to see you two apart. " And that's when his sights locked onto the ones that had been looked towards him for perhaps a couple of seconds, maybe minutes now. Just listening to what he had to say, intently.
" Hir--.. " Words were hushed by small, thin, dry yet warm petals against his own. Caught in the moment-- completely off guard, he just sat there until his brain finally started functioning how it should be. Cat - like ears sprouted from the top of his cranium as he gack'd to what had just happened. But before he said anything.. a soft tone of voice could be heard coming from the small bundle of humanized fluff ..
" Kisa left.. because.. I told her I .. liked someone else.. "
" .. E - Eh? .. who..?; " the cat dared himself to question. And that inquiry merely lead him to be clutched onto and nosed into his chest. Fluttering sights downwards; watching the boy press his cheek against the spot where his heart was hammering the moments away.
" You. "
