A/N: I've got my friend to thank for giving me the idea to write this chapter. What can I say, writer's block is so annoying.

"Kuo, look!" Akaito's voice cried in excitement.

Mikuo looked up from his novel.

Akaito was holding up a little brown cat. "I found it outside! Let's keep it, 'kay?"

"Don't hold it like that." Mikuo took the cat from Akaito's hands.

"Is that a yes?" Akaito looked at his friend hopefully.

"Yeah." Mikuo examined the cat.

"Hooray!" Akaito cheered. "So what name should we give it?"

"... Tama," Mikuo suggested.

"What about Flufferz?"

"Tama."

"Mr. Cuddle?"

"Tama."

"Teh Awesome Nyan!"

"Tama."

"Oh! What about Tama? Hey, let's call it Tama!"

'Are. You. Kidding. Me.' Mikuo smiled. "Tama's fine."

"Tama! Your name's Tama from now on, 'kay?" Akaito poked the cat.

Tama was already asleep in Mikuo's arms.

"I think he likes you." Akaito grinned. "You be his Mum and I'll be his Dad, 'kay?"

"... Okay." Mikuo nodded.

"From now on, Tama is Mikuo and Akaito property! Yay! Congratulations!" Akaito patted Tama's head.

"Yeah."

"Is Hachune Mikuo gonna be okay with this?" Akaito suddenly asked.

"He should be, as long as I give him his daily dose of leeks and hugs." Mikuo looked at the little guy standing on his desk.

"I've never been a Dad before... This is so exciting!" Akaito lifted Tama from Mikuo's arms, waking Tama in the process.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me to be a Mum," Mikuo muttered. "Hey, I said don't hold it like that."

"Sorry." Akaito quickly corrected his posture. "You're doing great as a Mum. Keep it up, Kuo!"

"Hm. I'm going to buy Tama some stuff," Mikuo announced, "So you better stay at home and take care of it."

"Okay!" Akaito grinned. "Tama, say bye-bye to Mum!"

Tama ignored his Dad, because he found something to play with: Dad's scarf.

"Tama's so cute..." Mikuo could still hear Akaito mumbling as he left the room.

Mikuo wondered why he kept getting himself into trouble for Akaito's sake. But that's just it. He just couldn't bear to say no to the idiot.

Mikuo phoned Kaiko who was shopping at the moment. "Hello, Kaiko."

"Hi, Mikuo! Wassup?"

"I'm joining you to shop. Akaito managed to adopt a cat."

"Whoa! Long time since he decided to keep anything as a pet! How did you do that?"

"... He just barged in while holding a cat. I didn't do anything."

"Aww, so Aka-chan got a cat specially for his Kuo! Awwwww!"

"Uh, so, well, see ya." Mikuo quickly hung up. He thought over what Kaiko said.

Then he smiled.

A/N: This marks the bottom of my manuscript for now... Need to write more chapters...
