furries under your bed
There was something beneath his bed. There was something beneath his bed, and it had four large eyes in a row that glowed luminously blue at him.
Kurogane held his breath and held the creature's stare. It stared back. For a long, pregnant moment, there was no sound from either of them. He swallowed uncomfortably. His track suit was sweaty and it was probably leaving sweat stains on his floor the longer he remained crouched in front of his bed.
Slowly, Kurogane cleared his throat. The damned chairman had not mentioned anything about strange creatures living in his apartment when he first moved in, and he was going have her head for this. She had to have known, because her smile was so sly when she bade him goodbye last week, and it was as if she expected him to report something different when she asked him how he was settling in every day.
"Hello," he said awkwardly, feeling very stupid for even thinking he should greet something like this. Maybe it was two cats. "You aren't supposed to be here."
One of them yawned—large blue eyes closed, accompanied by a long breath. It shuffled against the floorboards, sounding unnaturally heavy for something crammed beneath his bed, and Kurogane tensed, getting ready to strike it down if necessary.
"Hello," said a voice that he had been finding increasingly familiar. "We didn't think you'd notice us this soon, Kuro-human."
"What—"
Pale hands scrabbled against the floorboards, dragged a thin, tall man out from beneath his bed, dressed snugly in a lab coat. There wasn't any mistaking that light blond hair. "C'mon out, Yuui, he's found us."
"No," the other said, and this time, Kurogane sighed.
"What the hell are the two of you doing under my bed? Is there even enough space in there?" He shoved a hand into the mysteriously-dark shadows beneath his bed, caught the straight, starched edge of a chef's uniform, and tugged.
Yuui Fluorite came tumbling out, landing in a heap next to where Fai was sitting on his ass, licking at the back of his hand. He yelped and tried to burrow into Fai's side, pointedly avoiding Kurogane's eyes.
"Mind telling me why the two of you have cat ears?" Kurogane grumbled. Not only had they broken into his apartment, but they also had glowing eyes and fuzzy ears poking through their wispy golden hair. This wasn't natural at all.
"I think the right question would be, 'Why don't you have cat ears every other time?'" Fai grinned brightly at him, leaned over to lick his twin's cheek. "Yuui is dusty."
"You shoved me in first," the home econs teacher said reproachfully, still refusing to look Kurogane in the eye. "This is all your fault, Fai."
Kurogane stared as Fai snorted and licked the entirety of Yuui's face. "You have five minutes to get out," he said. "This is trespassing."
Fai blinked innocently at him, petted the other blond on the head. "We live here, Kuro-rin. Or has Yuuko-sensei not mentioned that to you? You're sleeping in Yuui's bed."
"What." Kurogane stared, and shook his head, but the two idiots were still in front of him, neither appearing to leave anytime soon. "What the hell."
