Pairing: MisakixUsagi
Summary: Misaki is a stray cat who has been taking care of himself his entire life. But one day he falls for a lonely man, and he wishes he could stand on his own two feet and propose the question of love. But can he survive the human world?
Authors Note: I am actually writing this and working on my English exam at the same time which is why this is kinda rushed. Math exam tomorrow though, wish me good luck? And thank you SO much for the reviews by the way :]
Rating: T for now. Rating will go up.
It was colder than usual that morning.
Misaki thought that Akihiko might have left the windows open, or maybe it was raining outside. Either way, the warmth coming from Akihiko's chest and the heartbeat soothing his ears like a lullaby was more than enough to make him stay in the man's arms. But he was still awake.
A few seconds later Akihiko loosened his grip around him as he groaned, and Misaki was able to sit up and take a look at the man properly.
He was still asleep, he was breathing slowly with his lips slightly apart. Misaki remembered last night when his eyes caught the sight of the dried tears on his cheeks. His heart dropped at the sight, but he couldn't help but to smile as he could still feel the man's cold hands petting his fur and curiously playing with his soft tail.
Oh, those long and slender fingers playing with his tail. It was nothing like that woman's warm hands. This man did it perfectly.
It was simple love like he had always wanted the most.
He reached out and removed a strand of hair from the man's face and traced the dried tears with his fingers.
…Wait a minute.
He quickly pulled it back, thinking it was simply just a hallucination. But he swore that he saw a human hand just now.
With his breathing slightly ragged, he slowly put his hand (paw ) in front of his face.
Before his eyes was one, small human hand. Fingers short and a bit chubby ( just a little bit ) with a creamy white shade. He played with his fingers, closing his thumb first, then his forefinger. His palm was dry but still soft and couldn't resist the urge to squeeze his hand using the other. It was really soft, kind of like jelly.
Suddenly the air got colder for a moment as he closed his eyes and shivered. It was a weird feeling.
He looked down and noticed that he had no fur either.
Or clothes…
His big, green eyes curiously scanned the living room, looking for something to wear. It's okay to borrow something in the meanwhile right? He had never seen anyone walk around without clothes, and he didn't want to make Akihiko even more upset with him.
He found a shirt lying next to the couch and luckily he didn't have to get up and get it. He bent down and grabbed the shirt, then put it on. It was big, too big, but he could smell a familiar scent.
He looked behind him and noticed that his tail was still there, swaying back and forth with excitement. He wanted this scent to stick onto his skin so he could feel it forever.
The sleeves were too long so he could no longer see his hands, but at least they got warmer. One of his cat ears twitched as he hear a low groan coming from the man. He had completely forgotten about him.
Lavender eyes slowly opened, and Misaki's tail couldn't stop moving with excitement. His ears perked up and he fumbled in the Akihiko's lap, trying to sit more comfortably.
It took Akihiko a few seconds before he could register the sight in front of him. A short, skinny boy, with creamy skin, beautiful green eyes, brown cat ears matching his hair and a long, soft tail waving behind him, was sitting on his lap wearing his shirt. Pink, soft lips and a small smile on his face, looking at Akihiko like a kitten had just found a toy. And he had to admit that he was pretty cute.
'I must be dreaming.' He thought as he closed his eyes again. He didn't want to lose the pretty sight of the catboy, but his eyelids already felt so heavy from crying last night.
Misaki was not very happy with the man closing his eyes again when he finally woke up, roughly grinded his hips against Akihiko's. Akihiko opened his eyes immediately and sat up, slightly scared by the fact that blood was rushing down to his groin
"Don't do that!" he yelled.
Misaki paused and looked at him, before looking down at himself. That felt weird. Well, not quite weird actually. It wasn't like the cold wind that made him shiver, but he couldn't exactly find out what it was.
So he did it again, this time a bit faster.
"Nya~.." he moaned softly while arching his back.
Akihiko quickly grabbed Misaki's wrists and looked him straight in the eyes. Misaki got scared when he saw the mixed emotion in those lavender eyes, and it sent a strange feeling down his spine. He shut his eyes and tilted his head, not wanting to get yelled at for disobeying.
Akihiko noticed the fear in the boys' eyes and immediately felt bad for yelling at him.
"…You should put on some clothes."
Misaki nodded and Akihiko released his grip.
But once Misaki's feet were on the floor, he immediately lost his balance and fell into Akihikos arms. Akihiko chuckled as Misaki felt something strange and warm on his cheeks.
'How cute.' He thought and smiled down at the catboy in his arms.
"You can't walk?" he said
Misaki's face felt really hot when the man asked that question. He nodded in embarrassment, once again feeling useless. Just like when he was a cat.
Akihiko sighed and carried Misaki in his arms, bridal style, until he noticed that Misaki was not wearing any pants;
"Dear god!" he yelled and dropped Misaki on the floor. He hit the floor and moaned loudly because of the pain.
He covered himself with the shirt, eyes glistening with pre-tears. He can't do anything right.
Akihiko muttered apologies and lifted Misaki once again, trying to avoid the big green eyes that looked up at him with curiosity while wrapping his arms around the author's neck. Misaki nuzzled his nose against the side of Akihiko's neck, feeling the strands of silver hair tickling his nose.
And he sneezed.
Akihiko chuckled and held the boy tighter until Misaki could hear his heartbeat.
"Are you tired?" Akihiko asked him.
Misaki nodded and closed his eyes while Akihiko carried him upstairs, knowing that cats don't always land on their feet.
