HC #6: Neko.
Magic can be both a blessing and a curse. In this case…for one, it's a curse. For another, a blessing.
For some unknown reason, J now has cat ears replacing his normal ears,… and a tail. He goes to Hayakawa if only to avoid his friends from making fun of him.
J may not admit it, but he does trust Hayakawa the most out of anyone.
When Hayakawa sees J's black ears and tail, he blinks, not knowing what to think for a moment before sighing.
He lets J stay at his place for the day.
When J isn't looking, Hayakawa does try to pet his ears…but those ears always sense his proximity, flicking. When J looks at him, Hayakawa puts his hands away, turning away so as to not alarm J.
J stares for a moment before going back to what he was doing. Right now, that's to grill mackerel. Apparently, J now has a taste for fish.
When Hayakawa comes back from work, he's brought a cat toy and catnip.
Hayakawa moves the toy this way and that, J stares at it, following its movement with his eyes. Eventually, instinct kicks in, J crouching into position, ready to pounce, his tail swishing. Then, J pounces on the toy. However, once J realized what he'd done, he blushes and backs off, embarrassed. Hayakawa's very amused though, so he next brings out the catnip.
As soon as J smelled it, he meows, "Nya~." Then, he starts purring, rubbing himself against Hayakawa. Blinking, Hayakawa then smiles, finally petting J. Stroking his ears, ruffling his hair (fur), and scratching under his chin, which makes J pleased. However, when J's tail is stroked, J lets out a "Nya!" Blushing, J covers his own mouth. But, Hayakawa already heard him.
J is then pulled into Hayakawa's lap, Hayakawa kissing him on the lips. J purrs and accepts him, wrapping his arms around him, careful not to use his claws.
The next morning, Hayakawa wakes up to see that J's back to normal. J's certainly happy about it, but Hayakawa buys cat ears for J. J glares (pouts) at him as Hayakawa continues to tease him, even to this day.
HC#11: Inu.
This time, Hayakawa mysteriously turns into a dog. J stays with him since he owes him. J pets Hayakawa's dog ears and sees his tail wagging. At least now, J can tell if Hayakawa's happy or not.
When J gets a tennis ball out or a Frisbee, Hayakawa's eyes light up, tail wagging. "Fetch!" Hayakawa catches the thrown object and brings it back to J, who pats him on the head, "Good boy." Once Hayakawa realizes what happened, he blushes, embarrassed.
When it comes to training, J gives commands like a lord. Whenever he says to sit, stay, roll over, or shake, Hayakawa obeys. J even gives him a treat (mostly steak cubes).
When J pets Hayakawa's tail, it feels so fluffy. Hayakawa however, is embarrassed, blushing as he tries to get J to stop stroking his tail.
"I think you're enjoying this a bit too much…" Hayakawa frowns.
J tilts his head, eyes sparkly, "Hm?"
In the face of that, Hayakawa could only comply, "…Nothing…"
However, when Hayakawa's had enough of being treated like a dog, growling as he loses himself in anger, tackling J and biting him on the neck, leaving a deep mark, tasting the coppery taste of blood. When he comes back to his senses, he lets go and licks the wound, apologizing profusely. "Mm… It's OK," J kisses him and pats his head, "I got carried away. I'm sorry…" Hayakawa nuzzles J's hair.
Of course, once Hayakawa got back to normal, J teases him with tennis balls and Frisbees. Also, he buys a pair of dog ears for Hayakawa. You could say it's payback. As for Hayakawa, his care for J went up a level since he's more than willing to obey J's commands at any time, even if it's selfish.
HC#12: Dog & Cat.
This time…they both end up as a dog and cat. Hayakawa looks at J, tail lazily wagging. Tachibana is now taking care of them.
Apparently, Hayakawa howls whenever another dog howls… or even at a picture of the moon. J and Tachibana learned the hard way.
When J hears a loud noise that hurts his sensitive ears, he jumps, fur standing up. He ends up on top of a bookcase.
Hayakawa tries to coax him down, "Here kitty…"
J hisses at him, but eventually… J says, ears drooping, "I can't get down…"
Hayakawa smiles, "It's OK… Just jump. I'll catch you."
"Alright… but you better catch me…" J grumbles as he prepares to fall.
Hayakawa laughs, "Of course…" And as promised, Hayakawa catches J. J is still in his arms for a few minutes after though…
Hayakawa holds J in a princess carry, J getting annoyed and claws threatening to come out. "Put me down."
Hayakawa still keeps his hold and his smile, tail wagging happily, "Mm~…No," is all he says as he carries J away.
Tachibana simply shakes his head at the antics of these two as he hears claws ripping into cloth and most likely wallpaper, as well as happy barks and unhappy hisses and meows. When the noise finally calmed down, Tachibana sees them curled up together, asleep with J purring.
Once the two turned back to normal, they both worked overtime to help pay for the damages.
