A/N finally had some spare time to write :D sorry it's not much


That night, once Haru's grandmother and parents had gone to bed, Rin got up. The little catboy had had a big day and he was very sleepy, but he didn't want to sleep alone. His ears twitched as he went to the door, checking and making sure the coast was clear. One he was sure that it was he quickly went across the hall to Haru's room.

Going inside quietly he walked closer to the bed. It looked like Haru was sleeping…

"Haru…? Haru wake?" He whispered softly.

Haru hummed softly, a small pout on his face as he yawned and opened his blue eyes. "Rin? What is it?"

Rin looked down nervously, "Can Rin your bed too sleep?" he asked hopefully.

Haru nodded, shuffling over to make sure there was room enough for both of them and lifting the blanket to invite him up. Smiling brightly Rin scrambled up onto the bed under the blanket, nuzzling close to Haru. "Thank you."

Haru blushed at being so close but innocently kissed Rin's forehead like his parents did to him, "You're welcome, sweet dreams Rin."

"Sweet dreams."


When Haru woke up the next morning he found himself tangled with Rin, his red tail flicking against his cheek as the cat boy dreamt. He wasn't sure if the dream was happy or not, now and then Rin would try to nuzzle ever closer, but Haru didn't mind that much.

After a while though Haru knew that they had to get up, his grandma would be making breakfast soon and it would be best if they were already ready. He gently patted Rin's head, "Hey… Rin, wake up…" he called quietly.

Rin made a strange meowing sound in complaint at being woken, pouting and trying to turn towards the mattress to escape waking up.

"Rin we have to get up for breakfast." Haru told him, moving his hand down to the catboys shoulder to give him a small shake. "Come on… get up."

The catboy yawned, showing off sharp canine baby teeth, and blinked his eyes open. "Haru… sleep wanna more!" he complained, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes even as he sat up.

A small smile played at the corners of his lips as Haru reached out to fix the hair that fell in front of Rin's red eyes, "I know but we have to get up. I have to go to school again today, but you can't run away again okay?" he gave him a serious look. "You'll make me sad if you do, last time you got hurt and I want to know you're safe."

Rin nodded, "Rin want not Haru sad… but… me miss you." He admitted.

Haru frowned thoughtfully, "I have an idea… what if I take you to school?"

Rin lit up at the idea. He would get to spend the whole day with Haru?! "Yes!"

"Shhh…" Haru hushed quickly, "We can't get caught though or else we'll be in trouble. So it has to be a secret, okay?"

The catboy hesitated. Getting into trouble was something he wanted to avoid at all costs… but the prospect of spending the day with Haru was exciting and he was really curious about what this school was and why Haru had to spend so long there. His curiosity and excitement outweighed the risk and his tail twitched happily.

"Okay!"


With everything planned out – to the best ability of the two kids – it was time for breakfast. Haru gently reminding Rin to sit at the table with him as his grandmother put out two plates of food for them. The two thanked her and started eating, Rin eating quickly and causing a mess again while Haru ate more slowly and watched.

"So Rin, are you going to come with me when I take Haru to school?" Grandma asked as she chuckled, cleaning up a little after the catboy and making a mental note to teach him proper table manners.

Rin and Haru exchanged a look.

"No, I stays, sleep more." Rin replied with an over exaggerated yawn. "I is cat, cat naps!" he explained with a self-assured nod.

Grandma smiled at his serious nod, "Alright, well Haru I'm going to go get dressed, why don't you go get dressed in your uniform?"

Haru nodded and got down from the table, lightly tugging Rin's sleave so he would follow him to his bedroom. As soon as the door was closed Haru got out his uniform, and an extra uniform for Rin.

The catboys tail was flicking in excitement. "Rin you have to stop your tail or you won't be able to put on the pants…" Haru told him.

Rin nodded and wrapped his tail around his left thigh as best he could so he could put on the pants Haru held for him. Once they were both dressed Haru hesitated.

"Your ears…" he muttered as he went to his draw to get out a beanie for Rin to wear over his ears. Putting it on he smiled, "Can you hear okay?"

"Haru covered sounds!" Rin told him with a thumbs up.

It took Haru a moment to realize he meant that his voice sounded muffled.

"Perfect, now come on!" he held Rin's hand and the two quickly ran out to the car. Haru helped Rin into the space on the floor behind the passenger seat, putting one of his grandmothers jumpers over him to hide him. "Stay quiet okay?" he whispered to him as he covered him.

"I quiet stay." Rin whispered back with an excited giggle.

Haru put his school bag on the seat and closed the door just as his grandma was coming out. She looked at him curiously, "Haru what were you doing?"

"Rin went to bed already so I was putting my bag in the car." He told her as he got into his seat.

He put his seat belt on as Grandma got in as well.

So far so good.
