Roman groans as he's pulled from sleep early in the morning. The sun looks to be barely rising and Roman tries to figure out what pulled him from sleep. He then hears the whimpering and crying that explains what woke him up. Roman rolls over and finds Seth thrashing as if he's fighting someone in his sleep. Roman reaches over and pulls Seth against his chest. Seth whines softly but then clings to Roman in his sleep. Roman kisses Seth's temple and whispers that it's ok. Seth settles and holds onto Roman, laying his head on Roman's chest. Roman lays back and closes his eyes holding Seth close.

Roman can't sleep after this and watches as Seth sleeps wrapped up tightly in his arms and blankets. Roman moves his hand and gently rubs Seth's ear. He smiles softly when Seth in his sleep begins to purr. He blinks when Seth's hand also moves and flexes like a cat's kneading against Roman's side. Roman smiles softly and watches gently petting Seth's hair and ear. He watches as Seth slowly also starts to wake up.

Seth's eyes open and he peeks up at Roman sleepily.

Roman smiles softly at the kitten and kisses his forehead. "Morning kitten."

Seth rubs his eyes and whispers. "Hi.."

Roman can't help but notice that Seth is adorable with his hair fuzzy and his eyes full of sleep. Roman smiles and shifts Seth against his chest and rubs his back. "If your tired you can go back to sleep."

Seth lays his head down and enjoys the warmth from Roman. "Do you want me to go back to sleep?"

Roman looks confused and then runs his finger over Seth's cheek. "you choose if you want to."

Seth peeks up at Roman and looks confused.

Roman watches him. "Seth I don't know what happened in the past but here you have choices."

Seth nods and moves. He straddles Roman's tummy and then settles into Roman's chest like a cat. He nuzzles into the warmth and whispers. "Don't.. please don't stop petting me."

Roman laughs softly and his fingers threads through Seth's hair as he pets him. Seth purrs softly and closes his eyes.

Seth smiles softly enjoying the pets that Roman is giving him. He wants to just take advantage of period where Roman was nice. It was nice and warm with Roman and Roman petted him and held him. He wasn't forced onto the floor or hit when he does something. Also he was feed last night. Normally Seth had to go days without food. Seth was still worried that Roman was luring him into trusting him. Then after Seth trusted him, he would turn into someone like his past owner. But for now Seth would enjoy it.

Roman hums softly and then looks up when he hears the door opening. Seth raises his head and looks confused. Roman smirks softly when he hears Dean calling out. Seth seems to perk at the sound of the other Neko. Roman watches Seth and then hears Randy apologizing that he couldn't stop Dean. Seth looks up at Roman and then settles again pulling the blankets over his head. Roman calls out. "Hold on.. We'll be down."

Seth peeks out and then sulks as Roman gently moves him. Roman smirks at him and whispers. "Come on. You may as well get dressed or Dean will come in here and pull you out."

Seth kneels on the bed. "Oh.."

Roman nods. "Dean is bossy..."

Dean storms into the room. "I am not.. God..I brought clothing for Seth and Randy brought breakfast. Lets go.. chop chop. Also.. I am not bossy."

Seth looks at Dean and blinks. Why was this Neko so bossy and allowed to be. Dean pokes Seth gently in the arm and gives him some joggers and a shirt. Seth goes to the bathroom to wash up and change. Roman pulls on a shirt and just leaves his sleeping pants on. Seth comes out dressed and follows Roman and Dean downstairs. He sees Randy in the kitchen putting boxes on the counter. Randy had set out plates and there is a large box in the corner of the kitchen as well. The scent is making Seth curious. Roman though sits Seth by him before he can sniff at it.

Randy looks at Roman. "Dean brought some clothing so that you don't have to go shopping yet."

Roman nods. "thank you. I didn't really want to go to the mall right now."

Seth looks at the food a little shocked he was getting feed again. Dean lightly kicks Seth's leg to get his attention and motions at him to eat. Seth nods and eats quietly not really wanting to draw attention to that fact that he was eating again. Dean watches and then thinks quietly.

After breakfast Seth can't contain his curiosity about the box. There is the scent of Dean in the box and something else. Seth peeks in it and sees some clothing. Dean sneaks up behind him and reaches forward poking Seth's side. Seth jumps and then looks at Dean with wide eyes. His tail is puffed out from the startle.

Dean though grins. "you should open it."

Seth whispers. "I.. I don't know if I'm allowed to."

Dean huffs. "You are because I said so."

Seth looks confused and whispers. "But.. you're a Neko.."

Dean looks confused at Seth. Seth holds himself and whispers. "Only humans have power."

Dean frowns. "Randy may legally own me and Roman may own you but we have some choices."

Now it's Seth's turn to look confused.

Dean frowns more and then looks at Randy. Now Dean wants to know what Seth's history is.

Roman moves and pulls Seth to his side. "Kitten.. Dean brought the box for you. He can give you permission to look in it."

Seth looks up at Roman and nods. Dean watches as Seth opens the box. There's a few sets of clothing that should fit Seth. Then also there's a stuffed cat toy, a ball with a bell in it, A coupe books and a really fluffy warm blanket.

Dean kneels down and whispers. "These are yours Seth.. not Roman's or anyone else's. They are yours."

Seth holds the toy cat close and tears slip out of his eyes. He had never owned anything. Dean looks a little shocked and then wraps his arms around Seth. "Hey.."

Seth whispers softly to Dean, "Thank you."

Dean smiles and rubs Seth's shoulder. "Roman is a good guy and so are we. You will be safe with us."

Seth nods and peeks at Dean. "you promise?"

Dean nods. "Mhmm I promise. Roman promises too."

Roman nods. "I promise."

Roman sits in the bedroom while Seth is watching TV. Roman was looking over the papers that John got when he adopted Seth. It's a report that details why Seth was removed from his owner. The fact that Seth was removed spoke volumes already.

The report reads like a horror story. Details on the physical abuse that brought Seth to the clinic. Then there was the evidence of sexual abuse, and neglect. The owner didn't care in the report about Seth and allowed the SPCA to remove Seth from his care. Roman doubts that John knew any of this. Roman also knew if Seth went back he would be put to sleep because he would be considered unadoptable.

Roman shakes his head and sighs softly. Roman had to admit that explains a lot. Before that Seth was with a family that gave him up because they didn't want a neko anymore. Their son went to college so they dumped Seth as the SPCA. That had raised him but thought nothing of him and threw him away after he wasn't of use to them. Roman thinks and then puts the papers in his nightstand. Roman walks into the living room and finds Seth curled up on the couch watching something.

Roman walks over and sits on the couch looking at Seth. Seth was curled up under the blanket Dean gave him. At this point Roman vows that this Neko was his and was not going anywhere.
