It Could Happen
Chapter 14: What I want
I think I'm getting better at writing, my chapters are starting to get longer, I also realized that this stories also has lots of father/son moments with Gordon and Inugami, tell me if it's okay will you alright? I only own my OC's.
Gordon had to admit, the day really flew for him, but there were a lot of things that kept him occupied; like the situation with Squeakus, then seeing Inugami save him and his brothers, he knew they had to celebrate, so he made a big scottish feast for everyone. He knew tha Cheshire and wouldn't dare touch the food, but Gordon was happy that he had Waffle and Inugami to eat it with. The whole thing lasted until night came, Inugami said goodbye to Cheshire, and the family went to bed... all except Gordon that is. His mind was still kept on what happened, and what Inugami said to Squeakus, about how he also wanted revenge. 'That Kruger said that Gami had lost his mind... no, he's still the sweet lad I met before, but the way his voice sounded, and that look he had when fighting Squakus, I'm starting to wonder if what he said was true.'
Gordon just couldn't stop thinking about it, and he ended up sitting on the front door steps, watching the star light sky. "Just couldn't get it out of your mind either, huh Gordon?"
The voice that came from behind nearly took Gordon's ninth life, but he relaxed when he realized it was Cheshire, giving the cheshire smile to go with his sudden appearance. "Cheshire, laddie, you really should stop doing that."
"Sorry, but I can't help it," Cheshire chuckled. "But seriously, you were thinking about what Kruger said before, right?"
"Aye, I just can't get it out of my mind," Gordon answered. "I'm worried about Gami, what if the lad does something he'll soon regret, what if he..."
"Tries to kill?" Cheshire finished
Gordon didn't answer this time, just putting those words and Inugami together made his heart ache. "You're an idiot, that'll never happen, Gami also said that you guys helped fill the void in his heart, so he'll never do something as crazy as that."
"B-But what if..."
"Gordon, if there's one thing I know about Inugami, it's that he cares about you more than anything else," Cheshire said, cutting Gordon off. "He wouldn't want to make you sad, he'd want you to be happy forever... kind off weird though, it's almost like a romance novel."
Gordon understood what he ment, he actually blushed a little from Cheshire's words. "I tried showing the lad what love is like, he's still new at it, but I can tell that Gami has a whole lot of love to give."
"Yeah, even I can tell that he's more of a lover than a fighter." Cheshire said, smiling.
The two just laughed together, even though it was a joke, they both knew it was the truth. In the end, they both sat together, looking towards the sky. "Believe in him."
"What was that?" Gordon asked
"Oto-san?"
Gordon could recognize that sweet voice anywhere, though the expression on the person's face was surprising, it was Inugami of course, but with a sad, teary eyed look on his face; this might've been the first time Gordon saw this kind of expression, it's not like there was a problem this time. "Gami, what's wrong?"
"Who were you talking to?" Inugami asked
"Oh, just...!"
He couldn't answer the question, because Cheshire had disappeared. 'Right, that lad is the cheshire cat alright."
"Oto-san?"
"Nevermind, just tell me what's wrong?" Gordon asked
"I-I got lost in the dark." Inugami said, embarrassed
"You were lost?"
"I had to use the bathroom, and when I woke up, you weren't in the bed," Inugami explained. "After I used the bathroom, I went looking for you, but the hallways were too dark for me, and I found myself in the kitchen. I tried looking somewhere else, but I ended up in Hovis's room by accident, and then I ended up in the kitchen again."
Gordon had to admit, if anyone else had heard this story, they would've laughed butts off, even he couldn't help the giggles that were coming from his mouth, but the embarassed look on Inugami's face made him stop; instead, Gordon patted his head, giving him a comforting smile. "Don't worry about it, that happens to lots of people, even Waffle gets lost sometimes."
"Demo, it's just embarassing." Inugami pouted
"If you like, I promise not to tell anyone?" Gordon suggested
"Promise?"
"Promise."
That made Inugami smile a little, the two of them both sat on the steps, letting the wind blow through their fur. This felt nice to Gordon, but he just had to get something off of his furry chest. "Gami, was it true... about you still wanting revenge on Kruger?"
Inugami didn't answer, but he gave a small nod to reply. "Then, does that also mean that you also had a void in your heart... and that it was being filled in from being with me and my family?"
He nodded again, Gordon had one more question. "Well, laddie... what do you really want?"
A single question, that single question struck Inugami with confusion, did he want nothing, or did he want everything? "I... I want..."
"Yes lad?" Gordon asked
"I want... I want to be... with you," Inugami finally answered. "And Cheshire, and Waffle too."
"What about Mr. Blik?"
"Hm."
"Hm, just hm?" Gordon questioned
"Well, I'd like to be with Blik as well, if he wanted me to." Inugami replied
Gordon felt better now, there was definetly know way that Inugami would be like Kruger, that was for sure. "But, I want to do other things too."
"Oh, like what?"
"I want to wear a yukata, just like the samurai wear, but I want really cool designs," Inugami said, smiling. "I want to eat japanese food too, and most of all... I want to play the taiko."
"The taiko?"
"Yeah, it's a big drum people use for japanese festivals," He explained. "You know, I believe that when a person plays a taiko, it reflects their heartbeat, so their entertaining everyone with their own distinct beat. One day, I want to meet someone who can truly feel my distinct beat and play a duet with them, feeling the rhythm of each others soul and merging them into one... I think it'd be great to find someone who you could rely on like that, whether it's a best friend, or someone you love, don't you think so, oto-san?"
(A/N: I got this from a comic I found online, though it was a little mature, it was sweet, and I liked this idea."
"Laddie, I uh..." Gordon had no idea what to say, but he did know one thing, and it was that what Inugami said was simply beautiful. "I agree with you completely, and I can tell that you really thought this out."
"Hai, I know I'm japanese, but I never done anything japanese in my life." Inugami pouted
"Well, if you like, I can help you make those things come true," Gordon suggested
Inugami's eyes widened instantly. "Really, you promise, pinky swear promise!"
Gordon could only give a hearty laugh at this new enthusiasm. "Of course, I promise that I'll help your dreams come true."
"Arigato, oto-san!" Inguami said, happily hugging him.
Gordon felt happy, and when he formed the pinky swear with Inugami, that happiness grew even more. the two decided to go back to bed, as they climbed into the bed, they both exchanged a sweet smile. "Goodnight, laddie."
"Oyasuminasai, oto-san."
