I slept long and well, and I hope my human did, too. I yawned a little when I awoke, and stretched out my paws over the comforter. Wait. Looking around, I could not see Hisoka. Where had he gone? I called to him, but I got no reply. I was worrying, then. The doctor had told him not to move about, but he was no longer in his little bed, so he must not have heard the order. The down-filled blanket was still hard to move around on, but after some jumps and a roll, I landed on the wood floor.
I called to Hisoka again, and checked the kitchen and around a box. Since his box -or home, as he liked to call it- was so small, he couldn't be hiding very far away. Then, I heard a familiar sound, and I found myself in front of the bathroom door. A faint dripping sound caught my attention, and once I recognized it as the sound of water, I quickly ran through the partly open door.
There he was! Once again, he was neck-deep in a bath with his eyes closed. I mewed and he opened one eye and looked at me. Oh, good…! I was afraid he had fallen asleep, or that he was gonna go back under the water, like last time. He didn't stop staring at me, and I would have smiled. Quickly, I ran to the toilet and jumped onto a stool that was next to it. From there, I managed to get up on the edge of the tub and over to my human. He closed one of his eyes as I proceeded to nuzzle his cheek, but he leaned into the snuggle like he was enjoying it.
"Usually, cats don't like water… So maybe you are a crazy cat, huh?"
I'm crazy about my human; that's for sure! I didn't stop nuzzling him, but after a while, he slightly smiled and lifted me off the edge and onto his knees again. He washed me, using his soft hands. I could tell he was still weak and tired, but as long as he was happy, so was I.
Watari came by again, later, at about 5 in the evening. He came in quietly, and stared at the precious sight before him. Hisoka was dressed in his fuzzy, light blue robe, sitting on his bean bag with me pulled close to his chest. I was still half-asleep, but I couldn't help but want to snuggle him more. He had fallen asleep, but I don't think he minded, anyway. His arms were around me and I was lightly moving my head against his robe and a part of his chest that wasn't covered up. I was happy to be there with a human of my own… But something told me, my poor Hisoka… wasn't very happy at all, for some reason……..
