Heeeeeeeey. This chapter is really fluffy... literally. It's called Rabbit, so I'm sure you can guess why. Heh. Read on!

It was no secret to anyone that Kiku had a love for small, adorable animals. He treasured his dog and cat, Pochi and Tama, almost as much as he treasured Yao, his boyfriend (though he'd never say that out loud). Any time he saw something fluffy, his face would light up in a toothy smile and sparkly eyes, and he'd do absolutely anything to hold the creature. Yao could swear that his voice went a bit higher than usual, too. It was often very cute, but sometimes, it got a little out of hand.

One instance occured when Yao found himself in a pet store in downtown Tokyo with Kiku. Kiku had spotted the store from a mile away, it seemed, and they went straight toward it. He cooed at every single animal he saw, until Yao thought that Kiku might burst into tears... in front of a cage full of rabbits.

"YAO! C-COME HEEEERE..." Kiku wailed, his face pressed against the cage. As Yao walked over, he spotted a small rabbit, white with various black spots all over. Yes, it was cute, but how could Kiku be so moved by it?

"Look at hiiiiim! He's staring right at me, isn't he? K-kawaii..." the Japanese man squealed. Yao peered in at the offending bunny; true, its large brown eyes seemed to be staring. Yao just thought that the animal was bored, but Kiku would not be swayed in that direction.

"Can we get him, Yao? Please?"

"Kiku," Yao berated him, "you have a dog and cat at home. How will they take a new addition? Plus, remember what happened to the guinea pigs..."

Oh, Kiku remembered well. He deflated a bit, recalling how his two precious guinea pigs, Gohan and Goten, somehow disappeared one day. They looked all over the house, the neighborhood, even the city, and the rodents were still never found.

"B-but, Yao... look how cute he-"

"No, Kiku," Yao interrupted. As if he'd heard, the rabbit squinted a bit and flattened its ears. This sent Kiku into hysterics.

"B-b-but Yao! H-he looks so sad and lonely and in need of a proper home! I'll take care of him, very good care of him, I swear! He'll have a nice big cage and plenty of food and I'll take him on walks all the time and..." taking a long breath, he fixed his face into a pout. Damn, it was hard for Yao to resist that... and the rabbit was awfully cute, especially with its ears like that... it sort of reminded him of Kiku, somehow...

Shit.

"Fine, we'll get the damn rabbit."

Kiku cheered and grabbed Yao, kissing him despite the public nature of their location. They purchased the rabbit, a cage, and various other necessities before leaving the store.

"So, what'd you name the thing?" Yao asked as he drove the car home. Kiku had the thing on his lap, and he was stroking its fur contentedly. Both had their eyes closed, but neither was sleeping. They were just feeling some sort of bliss, which Yao could admire.

"It is a he. And his name is Yoshi."

"What's with you and video game characters?"

Kiku huffed at this. "Gohan and Goten are manga and anime characters, Yao!"

Hahahaha, Kiku. You're so silly.

Anyway. Gohan and Goten are characters from Dragon Ball Z, in case you didn't know. They're Goku's sons. I just started watching DBZ, and I love it... I realize I'm late, but oh well.

I'm sure you all know what kawaii means.

Yoshi is a character from the Mario franchise. He's that cute green dinosaur thing.

Okay, bye! Hope you enjoyed!
