Hey guys! So I just got done with summer school and I think I passed them (yay) so I will try to update as soon as I can, I promise. Enjoy!
Bliss.
Allen was, despite his unusual predicament, in pure bliss. He was curled into a tiny ball, tail around his body and atop a warm blanket. Sizzles and pops reached his ears while the smell of cooking shrimp made his mouth salivate.
Somehow, someway, he had managed to get the Kanda Yuu, the most stoic and easily angered man on the planet earth, to keep him in comfort and warmth, if just for a weekend. His paws stretched over the dark blue material, his claws extending outward, much to his surprise. Allen was still shocked at a majority of things his body did, though he only had had his body for a few days at most, so he supposed it was to be expected.
As far as he had figured out, whatever that woman had done to him was with him from sun up to sundown, though as to just how she did it was still a mystery far beyond him. He suspected, however, that it had something to so with voodoo, remembering the tattoo of what she told him was voodoo God, or something to that effect, he couldn't really remembered, and he assumed that she was lying as she always did.
Allen looked wearily down at the ground, the height making him slightly leery of the jump he was forced to make. Swallowing thickly, the animal felt his shoulder shuffle and his butt wiggle as he leapt to the ground, his ability to jump and land heightened since his change, his perception and sight too. His light feet trotted around the soft carpet, tail held high and ears perked as he moved happily towards Kanda.
"Mrow!"
Kanda turned back to look down at his tiny feline, the sleek white fur brushing against his calf, the silver eyes looking up hopefully at the young man that picked him up.
"Just a minute," Kanda muttered, "let me finish this."
Meowing once more, Allen paced out of his way, knowing what would happen should he fall underfoot. Kanda, for all his skills, could potentially trip and fall if he caught the lithe body beneath him.
It was almost odd to see Kanda in everyday life, acting calm and composed as he want around his daily routines, cooking, doing minor chores, and organizing a few things for his work. As far as Allen knew, Kanda worked in a kitchen, which had prompt his nickname "Mr. Kitchen Knife" by their something of a friend Tyki. It still made the knife skills Kanda displayed however impressive, especially with the delicacy Kanda wielded with them.
"I don't have the right food for you," the elder murmured, the bowl filled with rice and shrimp, bringing Kanda back from his thoughts, "but I looked it up, this should be fine."
Allen mewed in confusion, his body backing away as the dish touched the floor, his stomach rumbling at the sight of the shrimp and rice while some sauce was added to Kanda's portion.
"Tuck in," Kanda nodded as he finished up with his own bowl, his body moving over to the couch as he chewed his own dinner, his eyes glancing to the cat as it licked its lips before it gobbled down its dinner, the animal standing on its back paws as the front remained on the dish.
After days of eating nothing, the perfectly cooked shrimp and rice was utterly divine, and he couldn't eat it fast enough, ignoring the rice getting stuck in his fur and the flecks he left on the kitchen tiles, not that Kanda seemed to mind terribly.
Kanda's own dinner was eaten with dedication, savouring the taste of his own dinner, his attention turned to the T.V. until he felt something climb up on his stomach. Turning his head, Kanda met the bright silver eyes of the animal whose tail was as perked up as his ears.
"Geez, you eat as fast as moyashi," Kanda commented, his cobalt eyes glancing towards the empty bowl while Allen's silver orbs were fixated on the piece of shrimp in the elder's chopstick, "and about as hungry," Allen heard him press on once he saw what had caught his kitten's attention.
The pink tongue flicked out to brush over his nose, the animal clearly hungering for more, the self-satisfied smirk on Kanda's lips told Allen the elder knew.
"Alright," the elder murmured, his body pulled up to a sitting position, the animal moving aside to adjust for Kanda, "come and get it."
Allen meowed as the piece of shrimp was dangled over his head, his body sitting back as his tail flicked back and forth in deliberation. Instinctively, the kitten jumped into the air to grab his treat, Kanda's reflexes impressively faster than his as the shrimp was pulled away from him.
The creature scowled as he looked up to the grinning elder, the shrimp dangled back in front of the animal, a taunting look in Kanda's eyes.
"Come on," Kanda grinned, "try again."
Even in his human form, Allen was no fool, especially when it involves mind games, especially with Kanda Yuu.
"Come on," the young man goaded, "come on."
Once more the animal sat back on his haunches, his body wiggling as he prepared to leap to grab the tender morsel, Kanda just as ready as he.
Again the animal leapt, his paws moving to grab the bowl left unguarded in Kanda's lap. Shocked, the elder accidentally let the shrimp he was teasing the animal with before he reached to stop the kitten, his hand pulling the animal off his own food, but not before Allen had gotten a full shrimp.
"You sneaky little bastard!" Kanda snapped, his hand dropping the animal back to his lap, the creature chewing his stolen morsel before swallowing thickly with what Kanda could only assume was a smirk on his face. "Little shit," the elder hissed, his eyes looking to his bowl, his cobalt orbs flicking up to see the tail flick to the air as the animal dug into the folds of the couch to pull the piece of shrimp Kanda dropped on accident, "clever, little shit…"
The animal purred in glee, his face looking up towards the man he had just outsmarted, his tail flicking back and forth in delight.
"Guess I gotta be careful with you," Kanda murmured, the fingers on one hand rubbing the back of the ears while the other held the bowl aloft and away from the hungry animal.
Allen was impressed with how quickly Kanda learned to take care of his food around him, though he did give in and treat the animal to a few bite when pressed with the big silver eyes Allen mooched with.
Kanda's routine was surprisingly mundane, his evening consisting of a marathon of rather old classics, though the elder seemed rather disinterested and bored with it, his hands unconsciously rubbing the kitten on the top of his head, Allen finding himself purring in contentment in time with the circles Kanda stroked.
It was late when the elder final shut the television off, the absence of sound making Allen look up to his elder.
"Time for bed," Kanda grumbled, his hands removing the animal from his lap to place it on the couch. "Since you're staring here, you can have the couch, but only for the few nights you're here."
Allen watched as the elder pulled his muscular body from the couch, his feet taking him towards his bedroom door, the wood closing with a soft click. The animal sat in the darkness, alone save for the blanket that was on the couch next to him. A pit of loneliness sank in Allen's stomach; after night on the streets crying for comfort, it made him feel even worst to have someone so close to him and yet so far.
Determined, the animal hopped down from the couch once more, this time with a different destination in mind. His paws trotted towards the door, his nails gently scrapping at the door with a soft meow, his body sitting back before he heard a soft groaning emanate from within the room.
Allen had never, in his life, seen Kanda in sleepwear. Though, as he looked up at the elder, the younger would hate to admit that he didn't mind it entirely. Kanda wore nothing more than a pair of sleep bottoms and exposing his bare chest, a rather large Ohm tattoo emblazoned over his left pectoral that seemingly wrapped around his upper torso and back.
"Mew…" Allen called quietly up to him, his ears flattened against his skull as he tried to make himself look as cute as possible.
"You have a bed," Kanda grumbled, "it's the couch, now get back there."
Sitting back, looking up at Kanda, Allen simply stared at him, his tail swishing back and forth with slowness.
The elder groaned once more as the animal slithered between his legs and slunk into the room, his tail held high and proud.
"I guess I should know not to try and screw around with someone or something as stubborn as I am," the elder grumbled as he watched his new pet cling to his bed sheets, the animal swinging with the fabric, his attempt to climb up to the mattress foiled when he could not make a grip.
"Best of luck to you," Kanda grinned as he moved to slip into his bed, the animal swinging helplessly with the sheets, realizing how stupid the idea was, especially with the fact that he hadn't yet fully understood his abilities as a cat.
Slowly, Allen dared to unstick one claw from the cotton before he slowly reached up to grip the fabric above him, his back paw having more difficulty getting unhooked from the material.
"Geez you are an annoying little shit."
Allen brought the bed sheet with him as something gripped his belly and pulled him towards the elder, the animal turned towards him.
"I guess it's only two nights," Kanda murmured as he unhooked the fabric from the animals claws, "but no noise and don't move, got it?"
"Mrow."
The kitten looked towards the finger pointed to him, his nose daring to touch the tip, his ears flicking up in a bout of hope.
If Kanda as to return him to the streets, the younger at least wanted to make the days and night count; the elder was acting kindly, something that Allen knew he'd never get to see again.
Kanda felt a grin pull at the corner of his lips as the kitten pulled his body up on the mattress, his feet picking his way over the blankets towards the elder, his tail and ears held high. Glancing down to the cat, the long fingers reached over to stroke the soft fur of the animal, the creature conceding to roll over, his belly expose for further scratching.
"You are a strange little thing aren't you," Kanda whispered quietly, the voice almost considered endearing had Allen been thinking straight, as it was, he was too invested in the belly rubs to care too much about the words.
"Nyaa…"
Kanda sighed softly and he shuffled to lie down next to the animal, his fingers continually running over the soft belly, the animal closing its eyes in bliss and his head tilted back as he lay snuggled next to the elder, his thoughts drifting off to sleep, unable to hear the next few words from Kanda's mouth, not that he cared greatly.
"Monday's going to be hard," the elder whispered quietly, "guess you're starting to grow on me, just like that damn moyashi."
Sorry for the length, but I hope it was worth it! Reviews please!
