"That one." Heracles said as he pointed to the small kitten curled in the corner of the cage. "It has your ears, Kiku!"

Kiku laughed, "So it does!" He opened the cage and picked up the small kitten. Its eyes blinked as it let out a small mew. "Desu~, he will make a perfect addition to our family!"

Heracles tail waved back and forth leisurely as he and Kiku left the pound. "Merry Christmas, Heracles." Kiku said as he handed the kitten over to the taller man.

Heracles told him thank you, and reached into his pocket and pulled out small box. He opened it to reveal a sparkly, diamond ring. "Merry Christmas, Kiku." Kiku gasped. "Will you marry me?"

"Hai!" Kiku shouted before he swung his arms around Heracles' neck, luckily the kitten had a firm grip on Kiku's shoulder, other wise, it would've gone flying.
