Onto the fic
Dawn broke free of the clouds signaling a new day. Stretching out lazily and finding the once warm bed cold; Kyo rubs his eyes and glances at the pillow beside him wondering if it all was actually a dream. He smiles briefly as he recalls the ox's embraces and caressing words that had warmed his aching heart. His mind reels with self-doubt and accusations. After all, he is the cat and the monster doesn't deserve to be loved. Perhaps it was just a game he was playing, to see if the cat was actually that easy to trick? Kyo prays that the boy had meant the words he had said. His door creaks open revealing a rather confused looking teen that flashes a sheepish smile. "I was trying to find the bathroom and got lost, I finally found it, though," the white headed boy says closing the door and cuddling up against him. "Go back to sleep, kitty kat, it's too early to get up when we have break," the teen mumbles with sleep lacing his tone sweetly. Nodding despite the fact he wanted to train, Kyo settles back down then realization dawns on him. "What the hell did you call me?" Smirking the younger looks at him through half lidded eyes and says, "Kitty Kat, but if you prefer something else I'll call you that. However you will have a pet name."
The smell of food waifs through the door rousing the duo from their slumber lands. "It's up to you, kitten. Do we go down there and eat with the two lovebirds and Shigure, or do we sneak out and go somewhere else for breakfast?" Rolling his eyes at the term of endearment, Kyo growls, "There's no way I'm eating leeks with damn rat, girly boy." Nodding Haru grabs his extra clothes and heads towards the door before asking, "Kyo, where's the shower?" Sighing in annoyance, he grabs the deranged ox's hand and leads him to the bathroom. "Do I have to put a sign up for you," he demands squeezing the tense muscles on the back of his neck and wincing when a pain shoots through his lower back. "Kitty Kat, it isn't my fault I could get myself lost in a paper bag, a rather large one, but regardless I'd still get lost," Haru says cutely pushing aside his usual placid expression to see the light in Kyo's eyes.
As the warm water runs over his body, he smiles when he recalls each time he made Kyo take on that special expression just because he decided to drop the emotionless look he always wears. "Hurry up in there damn it, someone else needs that shower, too," he hears his kitten yell and knowing that his kitty will blush he says, "You could always come in and share with me." One, Two, Three… "What the hell are you talking about? I'm surrounded by perverts," he hears Kyo holler as he knew he would. Drying his hair after he gets dressed, Haru walks out and sighs, "Really Kyo, you're too predictable." He goes into the cat's room and sits down finally noticing the photo album on the bookshelf.
His eyes wander over the various photos of Kyo with his master when he was a child and even the few of him as a young teen. He hears Tohru's call for them to come down for breakfast and glances up at Kyo when he enters the room. "Let's go," his kitten orders and he follows the cat to their shoes down stairs. "We're going out for breakfast, don't know when we'll be back," the orange haired teen shouts slipping on his jacket and heading outside into the cold, frozen blanket of white.
Their feet sink into the snow and Kyo's not so silent comments about hating wet, cold, hateful weather interrupts the serenity of the morning. "It's like the entire world is out against me," the aggravated kitten mummers while glaring at the winter wonderland. "I did give you a choice and it was you who decided to brave the horrible weather that was planned just to upset you," Haru says holding open the door to a nice, cozy, warm restaurant that he prayed served milk so the feline would be a little bit happier. The woman that waits on them gives a sympathetic smile when his ruby eyed companion only pouts at the menu. "Since you're the first customers, and you walked here, I'll give you the bill half off. Just order when you're ready, dears," she says softly and with a hopeful glint in his eyes, Kyo asks, "You do have milk, right? Lots and lots of milk, please." Yup that would defiantly make him feel happier.
They ate as much as they could then paid before leaving the warm environment. "Times like this make me hate not having a car," the grumpy kitten mutters and trying to cheer his hopefully boyfriend up, Haru slips his hand into the older teens. "So, what else do you want to do," he asks glancing at the practically empty stores and the even more empty streets. "Cold, just want to find someplace warm," Kyo mummers already beginning to get sleepy from the cold weather and warm, filled belly. "How bout a movie, or is that too cliché for you?" He smiles adoringly when Kyo's head droops down onto his shoulder and the teen lazily wonders, "Isn't there a more comfortable place where I can sleep?" Please don't kill me later for this. He leads him into the one shop he knows that Kyo hates and he is promptly glared at when the obnoxious voice of doom greets them. "Kyo's tired, can he sleep on the couch? I'd rather him not get sick," he offers as an excuse to the snake who agrees if they promise to bring him to Shigure's with them when they leave.
