Ref. Point: Throughout the in between chapters in Lonesome Kitsune, as well as pre-Chapter 1 of Sleeping Tanuki
A/N: I played with my cat way too much for this wwww. This part used to be longer in my head but I forgot half of them lol
Keiwa lightly scratched the sides of Ace's cheeks as the albino fox kept leaning against his hands, demanding more. So Keiwa gave the fox a head scratch too... and the fox looked so pleased. Keiwa then moved his hands down towards the back of Ace's neck, its slender back, its spine... till the base of its tail. And then Keiwa just run his hand breezily over the length of Ace's tail...
And then he started all over again from the beginning.
It was amusing... as well as cute. The way Ace the fox kept leaning for his touch and scratches, the way the fox's lean form seemed to twist and flexed towards the direction of his touch...
It was almost the same reaction he used to get in the past when he played with some random stray cats while waiting in front of the school for his parents—for Sara to pick him up—after school ends. He used to get scolded for it too; don't overstimulate them so much, that's not nice! But it was so cute! The cats' reactions, I mean. As well as how Ace was responding to his touch, now, seriously...

It really started to become a recurring habit for him. To touch Ace like this so often... even after finding out who—what—Ace really is. It was just so addicting... and calming...
It would help a bit more if he didn't also have to 'enjoy' another extrasensory 'treat'.
It was one thing to be able to hear and understand the many barks and whines and yowls as well as many other different sounds that Ace has made now as a fox. It was another thing when he had to hear Ace make noise every time he gave the fox these little pamperings. He almost regretted making Ace grow fond of it so much.
Keiwa stopped his fingers for a brief moment before Ace started to bump its head on Keiwa's hand to get him to resume pampering him.
"Keiwa... more! Don't stop! Do it again!"
Keiwa giggled as he stared at the cheeky fox. "Oh my... aren't you pretty demanding? I never thought I'd see you being so honest about what you want me to do."
The fox suddenly straightened up and cocked its head at him.
"What did you mean by that? I'm ALWAYS so honest with you. Regardless of the situation, I could NEVER be dishonest with you. I can't help wanting to be truthful to you!"
Keiwa stared at the fox strangely. "What did you mean, Ace? Back then you were always tricking me, telling all those lies to get me to do what you want—"
"Those weren't actual lies! The real lies... were actually the part about me tricking you to do anything. But that's beside the point!"
Without warning, Ace started to lay prone on the bed, while also exposing its belly and making soft whiny noises at him. Keiwa just let out a long sigh as he started running his hand over Ace's soft belly...
"Oh fine, you win. You silly idiot fox!"

Michinaga just shook his head as he continued to watch Keiwa and the fox being all too chummy and 'loving' with each other that it felt so cringy. Like no, it's not really strange to see people being so affectionate with their beloved pet... like if you love them so much, go you!
But in this case, he just—like seriously, how could Keiwa tolerate that fox so intimately... and THOSE teeth! Not to mention the fact that this was not just ANY fox, it was THE fox... the one and only Ukiyo Ace. Like seriously...
Also, he hated the fact that Ace could easily get away with doing this affectionate thing with Keiwa right now so brazenly. Just because right now he's a literal FOX! Like why the dude had to choose this time to be completely honest and show how much he loved Keiwa so much to everyone!
No, not that he was jealous that so many people loved Keiwa so much! Keiwa coughnotreallycough such a bad guy anyway. As long as you don't make him snap in a bad way...
But seriously... that Ukiyo Ace!
.
And just as Michinaga finished having all these frustrating thoughts inside his head, he just HAD to watch Ace slam both of its tails onto Keiwa's face! Also, WHY did Keiwa have to act SO happy about it? Aaargh! Why did he have to watch all this right in front of him?
