teh fluff!


Kamui was afraid to breathe, afraid to do anything that might shatter the moment. He had exited the apartment, school books in hand, trying not to wonder where his lover had gotten to so early in the morning, and had that unintentional question inadvertently answered.

Kneeling on the pavement, white coat spread around him, Subaru was doing his best to entice a gangly sort of kitten to approach. Inch by tentative inch the shy feline ventured closer, curiosity winning over apprehension until Subaru was finally able to run a finger down a velvety nose.

Kamui must have made some noise then, for Subaru turned slightly, and the look on his face made Kamui wonder why they hadn't gotten a cat. If that was all it would take to get such a beatific expression on the usually somber man's face Kamui was willing to invest in an entire litter of the fur balls.

"I think she's a stray." Subaru sighed, scratching the kitten along her spine, chuckling a bit as the tiny thing arched into his fingers.

"I think he have some tuna, if you want to take her inside." Kamui couldn't help but grin at the comically hopeful look that flashed across Subaru's expressive face. "Go on." He urged.

Subaru planted a kiss on Kamui's cheek as he passed, carrying his charge into the apartment with poorly contained enthusiasm. Restarting his attempt to get to his classes somewhere close to on time Kamui decided to stop by and find some cat toys on the way home…

…If only to watch Subaru play on the floor with a kitten.
