A/N: Here it is, the final installment to Funny Little World and while I'm sad to no longer have it to work on, I hope everyone enjoyed all of them, because I know I did.
Summary: Ittoki notices how Tokiya loves animals.
Zoolatry
Noun
The worship or excessive attention to animals.
If there is one thing that Ittoki never would have guessed about Tokiya it would be that he was an avid animal lover - like, seriously loved animals. The first experience Ittoki had with Tokiya's love was when they were seated outside of Ren's extravagant apartment building on the steps waiting for a cab to pick them up. Meanwhile, about three or more cats emerge from the nearby alley (neither of them even noticed it until now) and the stoic man subtly reached out and ran his hands over their matted fur. The redhead may have commented on it if he had not indulged himself with petting the purring cats too.
By the second time, Ittoki started to catch on to the idea that Tokiya may actually love something tangible more than his dedication to music. Natsuki invited the entire group over to his family's house to celebrate St. Patrick's day and to no one's surprise, it did not take long for the group to start getting plastered off of the variety of drinks provided. Except for Tokiya, who Ittoki noticed hid himself in the living room to be found playing with Elizabeth and smoothing out the dog's long, golden fur. At the time, Ren told everyone that the man was probably drunk and thought the large dog was his ever desirable redheaded boyfriend.
After a while, Ittoki thought he may have imagined all of these occurrences, but when he comes home from the market one morning with his arms wrapped tightly around the crinkling paper bags and finds his boyfriend sitting on their leather couch with a contrasting, white Persian kitten perched in his lap, he cannot help but stop in his tracks and stare with a dumbfounded expression. They never took the time to discuss bringing any sort of pet into their place (they did try a goldfish once, but that did not end well...) and Ittoki simply assumed it meant Tokiya never wanted any - Ittoki consistently expresses how much he would love a furry little creature around multiple times.
"Well… this is new," Ittoki announces abruptly with a large smile plastering itself to his face.
The man's head snaps up instantly and his startled eyes settles on the redhead and for a moment, his panic remains written across his face. After regaining his composure after a split second, Tokiya clears his throat and straightens his back out. "I didn't think you'd mind," He replies quietly and averts his nervous gaze back to the purring ball of white fluff.
"I don't," Ittoki chuckles loudly and crosses the room and places himself in the unoccupied spot next to his boyfriend to see the precious, little animal better. "Just surprised."
Tokiya simply nods and focuses on the kitten with undivided attention.
Watching the man, Ittoki cannot help the smile that grows on his rosy lips. He rarely gets to see this sort of tranquil peace paint Tokiya's features and it is certainly a pleasant treat. The only other time Ittoki gets to see this sort of bliss is on the rare occasion he wakes up before Tokiya and can simply look upon his features and admire the beauty..
With a small sigh of relief, Ittoki extends his hand out and starts to stroke the kitten as well.
