Summary: Cats love boxes... so do people with cat quirks.
Quirks to know: Eijun (partial lion), Kuramochi (cheetah and camouflage), Masuko (empathetic connection)
Masuko knew. The instant he saw Sawamura Eijun's cat ears and lion tail, he knew—his room was about to become cat heaven. Kuramochi had done his best, but their previous roommate had been a fully transformed bloodhound. Boxes smelling entirely of cat hadn't lasted long. But now Masuko was outnumbered, two big cats to one empathy quirk. He might as well give in.
It only took two days before a large shipping box appeared. It sat at the end of Sawamura's bed, stuffed full of items his parents had sent him. A day later, the box was empty but still there. Masuko knew it wasn't leaving any time soon.
After that, boxes began to take over their room—at first, only on Sawamura's side. Then it was like Kuramochi finally realised what was happening, and then his side—and, consequently, Masuko's—began growing boxes as well.
It still took a whole week and a long, tiring day before Masuko finally stumbled upon the boxes actually being used. Sawamura was curled up at the bottom of the shipping box, a blanket underneath him and his tail tucked under his nose. In the box right next to him—more of a large basket, really—Kuramochi had managed to squeeze himself in, his knees drawn up to his chest, back against the storage box, and tail wrapped around his waist. They were both fast asleep and snoring.
Masuko smiled. Weaving his way through the boxes, he paused only to grab his own pillow and blanket. He set them on the floor next to his kouhais' boxes. Sitting down next to them, he pulled out his latest book and settled in. He'd wake them in an hour for dinner.
I hope you all enjoyed, and please review!
