Day 11 – Wearing Kigurumis

Mariku slammed the door behind him. "It's too damn cold outside," he swore and rubbed his hands. "And it's not warmer in here." He took off his shoes and hesitated for a moment. Maybe it was better if he kept his jacket on. He shrugged and took it off. "I will shove a heating pipe up this bastard's ass, if he doesn't fix the heater soon."

"Already working on it," Malik replied quietly and took a sip of his tea. "The water is still hot. You can also make you some tea."

Mariku stroked his neck. "Good idea." Only now he saw what Malik was wearing and frowned. "Why are you wearing a panda costume?"

Malik rolled his eyes. "It's not a costume. This is a Kigurumi. It is soft, fluffy and warm above all things."

"Where did you get that thing?"

"I bought it."

Mariku shook his head. That's how Malik spent their money. Great.

Sighing Mariku sat himself next to Malik on the couch and pressed his cheek against the teacup. "Ah! I hate winter." He wrapped a blanket around himself and tried to get comfortable, but the blanket kept slipping from his shoulders. Mariku tried to pull it up, but then his toes weren't covered anymore. "This blanket is too damn small," he grumbled. Malik watched him amused.

"Do you want a Kigurumi as well? There's another one in the closet."

"Are you crazy? I'll never wear something like that in my life."

"Are you afraid that you're not manly enough in it?" Malik teased.

"Well, yeah!" replied Mariku and continued his struggle with the blanket. Malik laughed softly. Mariku was so stubborn.

With an angry outcry Mariku tossed the blanket on the floor and stood up. "Where in the closet?" He snarled.

"Second shelf on the right," Malik replied with a grin.

Mariku trudged into the bedroom and Malik heard how he opened the closet doors. "A penguin?" Mariku asked incredulously. "Are you serious?"

"I think it's cute," Malik called out to him. He couldn't hear Mariku's answer.

Grumbling Mariku looked at the Kigurumi in his hands. Should he really put it on? He felt the inside. Fluffy. Suddenly, a cold shiver ran through him. He quickly slipped into the Penguin Kigurumi. Frowning, he looked at himself in the mirror. No one was allowed to see him like that.

"You look cute."

"Shut up," Mariku hissed at his boyfriend and sat back on the couch. At least it wasn't so cold anymore. "If you tell anyone, then you will be really sorry."

Malik snuggled up to Mariku. "That's our little secret, my strong, manly penguin."
