Sajin awoke to the pleasant surprise of a kiss being gently placed on his muzzle before the soft warmth left his face. Weight shifted on the bed and he opened his eyes to discover Kaname adjusting his jinbei before softly padding off and away. He was almost nostalgic for that warmth his partner left behind that was slowly leaving the sheets. His mind wandered to the words Kaname spoke last night, his thoughts still entangled by confusion and curiosity.

Sajin left the bed, putting on his own jinbei, or what he thought was his, only to realize it was far too small for him. He chuckled inwardly at the thought of accidentally trying to wear Kaname's clothes, smiling when he realized that there was a chance his mate was wearing his jinbei. He grabbed a different kimono, one that was definitely his, before leaving the bedroom.

He found Kaname in the kitchen, eating a bowl of rice, his eyes slightly open as if to let the morning sun warm up his irises.

Sajin sat across from him, his lips slightly upturned at seeing the small table set as if they had been eating together from the start. His fingers made to pick up his chopsticks, but he found himself thinking again of what his mate said in the haze of drowsiness.

"Kaname..."

The darker man swalloed his food, setting his bowl and chopsticks down in order to provide a response to Sajin's words.

"Do you know what we talked about last night?"

Kaname looked in his partner's direction, his gaze falling where Sajin's collar sat.

"I believe I mentioned the competence of your future parenting skills," he answered.

Sajin was almost taken aback by that simple statement, but he tried not to dwell on it too much. "Did you... mean what you said?"

Kaname smiled, the kindness in his face reaching those unseeing eyes as his gaze never wavered from the wolf. "I think you know I say what I mean, Sajin-san."

The wolf swallowed, unsure of where to bring the conversation, or his thoughts, next.
