It Could Happen

Chapter 10: Different Kinds of Love

A sweet moment with Inugami and Gordon, I only own my OC.

It was the middle of the night, the Cramdilly family was fast asleep, all except one though. Inugami sat outside the front door, looking at the full moon's light, its gaze was serene, endless, and beautiful, but something troubled him; a question kept flying through his head, something that he couldn't answer himself. "Gami, is that you?"

Inugami turned around to see Gordon, his yawning made him realize that he just woke up. "What are you doing up so late, lad, is something wrong?"

"Gomenasai, can't sleep." He replied

"Do you want to talk about it?" Gordon asked

Inugami was pretty silent, but he was blushing a little. "Gami, you okay, lad?"

"Ai, what's love?" Inugami asked

Now it was Gordon's turn to blush, he never thought the dog would ask him something so strong like love, it almost felt like he was asking him about the birds and the bees. "W-Well um... w-why would you want to know about that, lad?"

"It's something you have to learn in life, you try to learn, but you never get far by yourself," Inugami answered. "That's why I'm asking you for help, aren't you in love with Human Kimberly?"

"Now, who told you that?" Gordon asked.

"Cheshire told me, he told me that love doesn't discriminate with species."

"Aw, well that was a nice thing to say." Gordon said, smiling.

"So, you do love her?" Inugami asked

"Well, I do care for the lass, more than all the rainbows and unicorns in the world," In his mind, Gordon thought he was giving a good answer, but all it did was make Inugami tilt his head in confusion. "What I mean is, I really do care for the lass, but she only thinks of me as a friend, I think that's all we'll be, and I couldn't have it any other way."

"So, it's a one sided love, a love that can only be found by either the male or the female, a love that's kept secret from the persons true lover."

Gordon was pretty surprised. "That was... a pretty good explaination."

"I feel like I have a one sided love." Inugami replied

"Really, with who?" Gordon asked

"You, oto-san."

Inugami was in love with Gordon? It was more surprising than you thought, but still confusing to say the least; Gordon started to understand though, Inugami doesn't really know about love, he could say it all he want, but he would never know what it meant. He could see that the thought made Inugami confused, so he tried his best to comfort him. "Don't worry about it, it's completely normal to feel that way about family. I feel the same way about my brothers, I love them enough to protect them with my life, the kind of love you have is completely normal."

"It's normal," Inugami still felt confused a little. "Eto, was it weird that I kissed you once?"

That's right, Gordon had almost forgotten about the time Inugami thanked him by kissing his cheek. "I wouldn't say it's weird, just surprising. Usually, when you give someone a kiss, you do it to someone like your mate, or your mom for example, kisses are usually made for girls."

"Demo, don't kisses show your affection towards someone, like saying you really care about them," Inugami asked. "I might be able to do it to a mate one day, but I care about other things, strawberries, and you, oto-san, eto... I guess I don't really care about a lot of things, I am only one years old."

"Aye, I guess so."

"Love is complex, you can say it, but you wouldn't know what it means, and even if you're an adult and you have a wife and kids, you still wouldn't know what love is like," It's hard to believe, but everything Inugami said kind of made since. "You're wife could say she love you, even your kids can say that, but when you say it, you wouldn't be able to mean it, because you can't feel love at all... will that happen to me?"

'For a wee one... he sure thinks of things a lot.' Gordon thought. "Laddie, I want to give you something really special, mind closing your eyes?"

"O-Okay?"

Inugami closed his eyes, but he felt scared, what exactly was gonna happen to him; the thought of something happening made his fur stand up, but his fur was completely normal as he felt something soft on the top on his head. The feeling was something he never had, it was sweet, touching, his chest felt warm, and his cheeks were rosy red. Gordon had actually kissed him on the head, but it didn't feel weird at all, it felt nice, like a father and son moment between them; he was happy, but he nearly freaked out when he saw Inugami start to cry. "Great gopher, I didn't mean to make you cry, I-I was just trying to make you happy, to show you what love was like. But maybe it was a bad idea, maybe I should've...!?"

Inugami hugged Gordon, he cried his eyes out, but he was actually smiling; Gordon was able to see it too, he felt better and began to embrace him as well. "You can cry all you want, how do you feel about love now, Gami?"

Inugami wiped the tears from his eyes and showed a big smile. "Ai's still confusing, but I starting to feel what it's like, arigato oto-san."

"You're welcome," Gordon gave a big yawn. "Now, why don't we head of to bed?"

"Hai, demo..."

"Something wrong?" Gordon asked

"Tsuki."

Inugami pointed towards the moon, and it didn't take long for Gordon to figure out what he wanted. "You want to give a howl to the moon don't ya, well go ahead."

Inugami smiled and gave out a loud howl, what was shocking was that it sounded very adult sounding, it wasn't like a puppy at all. "Wow, Gami, are you sure you're not a wolf pup or something?"

"Eto... eto... eto..." He honestly didn't know

"Come on, let's get to bed."

"Hai, oto-san."
