Chapter 4
The next day didn't come soon enough for Haru as he woke up wrapped in a heavy blanket rather than Kyo's warm limbs. Rubbing his eyes as his stomach rumbles reminding him that he hadn't eaten supper last night opting instead to stay curled up against his boyfriend. He searches for some clean clothes in Kyo's dresser and pulls on a black t-shirt and an old pair of black cargos. Slowly he makes his way down to the kitchen and peers inside only to find Tohru bustling around making breakfast while Shigure begins to sing about high school girls. "Where's Kyo," he asks entering the room and casting a bored look at the inu who at the cat's name began to talk about Aya.
Slithering into the room, the white haired beauty yawns delicately and says, "Dear Kyo is outside training to beat my precious brother." Haru barely spares a glance at him as he moves to stand on the porch watching Kyo practice his moves with ease while the birds' chirp happily over their breakfast of seeds sprinkled over the snow. The sunlight sparkles over the cold blanket casting a glow over the older teen and he rubs his arms trying to create some hint of warmth within them as he watches Kyo plop down on the ground while a stray bird hops over to his crimson-eyed cousin.
He knows that Haru's watching him, but doesn't care and digs into his pocket for some more birdseed. He may be the cat, but that didn't mean he hated birds. Rats, yes, but birds he liked. They accepted him despite his inner being and he respected their need to be fed then left alone. Occasionally one would perch on his shoulder as he meditated like the blue bird that pounces around his shoulder chirping happily. He stretches serenely before beginning his practice concentrating on his breathing.
Carefully he rubs Kyo's wrist and smiles down at his beloved neko. "I promised you a date today," he states casually as Kyo scatters the last bit of birdseed with his free hand. "Let's go eat breakfast then we can go out for the day," he adds while Kyo stands up slowly as to not startle the birds and they enter the small house earning a perverted smile from Shigure. Sitting down, Haru gently squeezes his boyfriend's hand, and says, "Kyo and I will be hanging out today."
Leading the neko out into the diamond blanket and crisp air is harder than he originally thought. "It's cold and wet," his kitten complains tugging his jacket around his body tighter and once they're farther away from the house he wraps his arm around the cat's shoulders. "You'll be warmer like this," he states when Kyo glares at him.
The girl sits at the counter watching them as Kyo yells at him for trying to put a collar around his neck. "Why are we here anyways," His neko demands staring in disgust at the cat leash Haru had picked up and he responds, "I want a pet. A kitten to be exact." Shaking his head, Kyo tugs the teen out of the store and says, "You get lost going two doors down, and I'm not letting you get a pet." Sighing he nuzzles his kitten's neck and says, "Okay, no pets but I want to sneak you to my house sometimes. Where do you want to go?" Shrugging his kitten shivers while searching for a warm, suitable place to go. "How about that café," he says pointing towards the corner and Kyo nods rubbing his hands for warmth.
Carefully he sips his hot chocolate and tries to stop shivering while Haru studies him over the rim of the cappuccino cup. "Kitten, do you want to trade jackets? Mine is warmer than yours," the ox says and he grimaces at the thought of wearing the ugly coat. "It's not that bad, honey. I like it well enough," Haru says leaning over the table and cupping his cheek before kissing him gently on the lips. "I am not going to wear that," he yells causing customers to stare at them and the ox smiles softly.
Tossing a snowball at Kyo's head, Haru smirks and begins to walk away when a snowball hits his back. "War," Kyo hollers throwing more snowballs at him and he fights back tossing snow at his neko. They roll around in the snow trying to dominate each other and he tugs on Kyo's damp tresses as his neko stares down at him. "Kyo, lets go to a movie," he says hugging his kitten's shivering form and they sit together breathing in deeply. "Kitten, I really think that you should wear my jacket. I'm not as cold as you are," he argues brushing Kyo's lips with his fingertips and his kitten nods while trembling.
So, there they stand with Haru shrugging into his kitten's jacket and Kyo glaring as he drowns in his long coat. "I look even more ridiculous than you in this," his neko complains as they sit down to watch the movie. "Why did we pay for a movie we'll ignore? Don't tell me you're secretly a fan of Piglet," Kyo growls in annoyance and smirking he says, "No, but I am a fan of that tone of yours, it's really turning me on." Blushing the neko pulls away from him when he begins to nibble on his ear and says, "Haru, there's kids here."
His eyes slowly close as he gives up on even watching the previews. His head leans against Haru's shoulder and he hopes the semi darkness conceals his blush when Haru threads his slender fingers through his hair. "Kyo, you warm enough now," the ox's soft spoken words caress him and he nods wishing that the divider between their seats would vanish. "Do you want to go somewhere else?" Tiredly he shakes his head and demands that the cow shuts up.
His body aches as he awakens and studies the screen until the reviews become clear. He zips up Kyo's jacket then shakes the neko awake and watches his boyfriend secure his coat around his body. "Hungry?" With sleep still clouding the kitten's mind, he tilts his head to the side and pouts cutely saying, "Haru, I don't have any money. How do you expect us to get food?' he nearly breaks out into a full grin at the sleepy, boyish tone in his boyfriend's voice and hugs the teen tightly saying, "I still have money left." Lovingly he kisses his kitty and leads him outside into the cold weather while claiming the teen's hand with his own. "Haru," his kitten states beginning to gain his usual grumpy attitude and the neko pulls his hand away. Smirking he takes Kyo's hand once again and whispers, "Relax, kitty."
Fighting off a blush that's threatening to stain his cheek, Kyo glances at Haru's profile and soaks up the ox's beauty wondering how he always missed it before. "Kyo, want to go to my place and stay the night?" Scarlet orbs narrow at the cow and he demands, "Are you stupid? I'm not allowed there and I'd rather not find out what will happen if I'm caught. We can always go to Master's if you want to be alone." Nodding he tugs Kyo into an alleyway and presses him against the wall while kissing him hard. "Sounds like a plan, kitten," he says nipping gently at Kyo's neck and the neko moans lowly pulling him into another heated kiss.
