Chapter 15: For some reason, I hate keys

GAKUPO'S POV

After work, I got home and saw a dark-haired cat in the street. I got out of the car and walked to the cat, which didn't seem to mind me touch it. It didn't look like a stray and it seemed lost. I picked it up in my arms and it purred as I stroke its soft hair.

"Are you lost?" I asked in a quiet tone. It let out a 'meow' and I figured it was 'yes'.

"You know, kitty, pets aren't allowed in my apartment. But we can break the rule this one time, ne?" I muttered and chuckled as it - or actually he - purred more and pushed his head against my hand.

"Shall we go?" I asked and we got into the car, he sitting next to me like he was used to be in a car. He certainly wasn't a stray.

When we got home, he jumped off my arms and ran around the apartment, looking around the place and finally jumped on the couch, claiming it as his. I laughed. He was the cutest thing I had ever seen - If you don't count Kaito, of course.

"I don't have any cat food, but I guess cats like milk?" I said and as if he had known what I said, he jumped off and jogged to the kitchen. I poured some milk in a bowl and he drank it quickly looking at me after he was finished.

I smiled as I looked him clean himself. I've always liked cats, but I never got one. I clearly remember I tried to take care of a stray with Taito when we were young, but our parents were highly against it. I still remembered how we tried to get as much money as we could to buy the cat food, but finally ended up feeding her milk and human food.

Laughing at the memory off Taito trying to hide the cat under his shirt when my butler came in my room once, I turned on the TV to watch news. Nothing interesting was in news, so I changed it to Korean drama called Land. Sometimes I watched it for fun, so I didn't run along with the plot, but it wasn't that bad.

I sat on the couch and the cat jumped on my lap. He got comfy in seconds and fell asleep quickly. I was sure that the cat's owner spoiled him.

After the show ended, my cellphone rang. As I checked who was calling, I literally froze.

It was Taito.

I picked the phone up and answered: "Hey, Taito. I didn't expect you to call."

"Not Taito. Kaito", said a grumpy voice.

"K- Kaito? Why are you calling?" I asked nervously, hoping he hadn't found out about that.

"I was just wondering why the same number I just now called is in my cellphone", he said coldly. So he did find out.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it. But you found out just now? It's been few months since I added it", I said.

"So it was you! And yeah, I did find out just now. How the hell should've I known that a teacher, who hadn't even met me twice, would add his number in my phone?!"

"Well excuse me, you were so cute and I could've never got another chance to do so!"

"I hate you so much... First my cat goes missing and now this! How am I supposed to react?"

"...Your cat is missing?" I asked suspiciously, glancing at the one on my lap, who was still deep asleep.

"Yeah...? You've seen it?"

"A black, small one? Male?"

"It must be him! Oh my god, if anything happened to Kai I would... Wait... Where is he now?"

"On my lap, sleeping. I couldn't let him just starve to death or something. I've got a weak spot for cats."

"Could I come get him? I- WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?! YOU CAN DO THAT IN YOUR ROOM OR MIKUO'S ROOM, BUT NOT IN MY ROOM! FUCK OFF RIGHT NOW!"

I could hear Akaito saying something in the background. "Kaito? You okay?" I asked.

"Yeah... You have no idea what it's like to live with a perverted brother", he answered.

"It can't be as bad as living with a fujoshi sister."

"Seriously? That is bad!"

"I know... But about the cat."

"Yeah. I don't think I'll be able to get him today, but could I come get him tomorrow after school?"

"Of course. But I don't have any cat food, so he'll have to live with milk and human food until that, okay?"

"It's fine, as long as you don't feed him too much."

"Really? It looks like you're the one who's spoiled him."

"What? It's not my fault!"

"Then whose?" I smirked. This was too fun. I knew he was blushing and the thought of it was just amazing.

"Um... No one's! But now that I'm talking with you... There's this thing in math I don't really get."

"I already tutor you twice in week, isn't that enough?"

"Please, Gaku-chan, I beg you!" The nickname made me chuckle. Gaku-chan?

"Gaku-chan? That's the lamest nickname I've ever heard..."

"Shut up!"

In the end, we spent hours of talking and it was surprisingly fun. But all fun ends, right?

"You know, Kaito... It's been fun to chat with you, but I got work to do", I said after laughing at his story of Kai stealing bunch of cookies and eating them under Akaito's bed.

"Oh. I didn't realize it's been so long. Sorry for taking your time", he said.

"It's okay. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah. Bye." Then he hung up and I could finally take the relaxing shower I had waited for all day.

KAITO'S POV

Next day after school I walked straight to the history class, where Gakupo was. I didn't have club practice today since half of the music club's members were gone, including Megurine-sensei. Actually, most of the school had catched the flu and the classes weren't taken that seriously because of that, so it had been rather good day.

Anyways, when I stepped into the class, Gakupo was packing his books into his bag. He looked at me and said: "Kaito? Shouldn't you be at the club practice?"

"There isn't any. I thought you wouldn't have kendo practice either", I answered.

"Magically most of the kendo club members were in school so the practice didn't get cancelled. But you can come watch if you want", he said as he put the last book away.

"Someone will ask who I'm waiting for and I can't answer I'm waiting for you. And besides, if Akaito saw me there... Well, I don't think it's a good idea to wait there", I explained.

"Hmm... Well, you can always wait at your own home. The practice doesn't take long though, so you won't have time to do anything", Gakupo suggested.

"That's actually a good idea. Mom and dad aren't home, Nigaito, Kikaito and Taito are in the town and Akaito is going on a date with Mikuo so you can come pick me up when you're ready", I said.

He smiled. "Good. But now I need to go, I need to change", he said and then left. I left right after him and walked to home, being glad I had my scarf since it was so cold. No wonder why almost everyone was sick.

At home, I went right to my room and to my computer. I wanted to check if the new episode of an anime I watched was out yet, but it wasn't. I sighed and glanced at my guitar in the corner of the room. I might as well play since no one is home.

I didn't realize how long I had played until Gakupo called me.

"Hi", I said.

"I've waited outside your house for five minutes since you didn't answer the door."

"What? Sorry, I didn't hear, I was playing guitar and- "

"Yeah, I could hear that. But it's pretty cold in here, so could we get going?"

"Of course! I'll be there in a minute!"

"Finally."

I ran downstairs, kicked my shoes on, took my jacket and left the house in hurry. I saw Gakupo smoking a cigarette next to his car, waiting patiently.

"I'm sorry..." I muttered as we entered the car.

"It's okay. You're pretty good at playing guitar", he replied and smiled warmly.

"I didn't know you could hear that outside the house", I said. How did he hear it anyway?

"Well, I did. Maybe your window was open or something."

"Yeah."

Rest of the way to his apartment was silent and I could hear the faint, small drops of water hit the car.

When we arrived, I realized I always walked past this house on the way to school. I just never knew Gakupo lived there.

It actually looked like a hotel since it had so many floors and if I didn't see wrong, there was even a pool outside (but of course no one would swim there in this weather) There was about 12 floors.

Gakupo lead me to the 8th floor, where his apartment was. When I saw the apartment door as he opened it, I asked: "Didn't you say pets aren't allowed in your apartment?"

"Well, I decided I could break that rule once", he answered and grinned. As I stepped into the apartment, I immediately saw Kai running to the door, welcoming me in. I smiled and embraced him tightly.

"Never run away from home! What if you got hit by a car?" I said as I snuggled him.

"You really seem to love him", Gakupo pointed out.

"Of course! He's my cat, whom I'll always love", I answered.

"You want some tea?" he asked when I had got up from the floor where I had hugged Kai.

"S- Sure. But I don't want to bother you or anything..." I answered. Suddenly I got a call from Akaito.

"Where are you?" he asked bluntly.

"Um... At friend's place?"

"Hmph. Well, mom told me to tell you that you're alone at home this night."

"Eh?"

"Well, I just got home to pick up some stuff since I'm staying over at Mikuo's. And our cousins are going to their friend's place in Mie and mom and dad are spending the night in some dad's business party", he explained.

"Okay. Anything else?"

"Nothing. I hope you have a lone night."

And then he hung up. For a moment, I just stared at the phone, hoping that Akaito wouldn't be so angry at me, but then smiled at Gakupo.

"Sorry about that. It was just my brother", I said.

"Okay. The tea should be ready soon", he answered.

Few hours we spent time in his apartment, but when it got dark, I decided I should go home. When I was putting my jacket back on, I realized the pocket where my keys usually were was empty. I explored the whole jacket, but the keys were not found. And my family wasn't even home.

"Shit..." I muttered.

"What's wrong?" asked Gakupo, who was supposed to drive me home.

"I don't have keys and nobody's at home..."

A/N

Yo! Cliffhanger! Hahahahaha! Sorry...

There's three things Kaito can do:

stay at Len's place
stay at Meito's place
stay at Gakupo's place
remember his window is open

Can you guess which one it is ;D

I was planning this to happen later, but it's good this way. The version I was gonna put would've been better (in my opinion, at least) but I really didn't know what I'd write in this chapter T.T

Anyways, let's hope the 16th chapter will be out soon! ^^

I hope you enjoyed, see ya in the next chapter! ByeBye~!
