“do you want to take her home?”
the way ouma’s already sparkly eyes lit up was fascinating. he didn’t stop petting the van kitten. “of course i do! how did shu-chan know i’d order him to agree with me about this?”
the younger of the two smiled. because ouma-kun had been looking close to tears for minutes, he thought. but even if the leader didn’t seem so interested in the kitten, saihara was going to make an offer himself.
he’d been thinking about adopting a pet with ouma lately. it was their luck that they had came across a cat ouma seemed to get along so well with. the way both of them had heterochromia was also freshening and cute.
the cat looked no older than four weeks old, so saihara was concerned that they’d be seperating her from her mom at first. but she had been following them as they walked at the streets for at least twenty minutes and they have not seen any other cat than her. it was a crowded area where they were and it could’ve been even more dangerous for the kitten if she was abandoned there. saihara was still hesitant but he decided it would be alright as long as they took good care of her. and he was sure, ouma would.
his naturally straight hair was flying around as he walked with the white-colored kitten in his arms now because he was practically jumping each step they took. his pale skin suddenly seemed somehow livelier and his tired movements got more energetic. they had a really active day today, woke up at six in the morning and left the house at seven. as saihara considered ouma was still gaming when the dedective went to sleep at one thirty, it wasn’t surprising that even the bouncy male got exhausted at the end of the day.
as if he felt saihara’s eyes on him, ouma stopped examining the kitten in his arms and turned his gaze to saihara instead. the faintest of smile on his pink tinted lips made saihara want to quit walking and kiss his boyfriend right there, forget they’re on public and only around two minutes away from home. he instead just smiled wider and turned his eyes to the night sky that was almost starless because of the frequent artifical lights in the city. he sighed quietly, a warm and serene feeling in his chest.
he and his boyfriend just agreed to look after a cat at home. their home that they’ve been living together at for almost whole two years. his boyfriend that he was thinking of proposing to. a cute, small white kitten with different colored eyes that matched his boyfriend’s looks almost impossibly.
saihara took the keys out of the pocket of his stone blue coat when they stopped at the familiar apartment. he’d probably need to leave and buy some milk and cat food after changing his clothes and plugging his phone into the charger again. then, they’d bring the kitten to the veterinary in the morning. ouma would probably not want to leave her alone in the house and he’d play with her instead. the kitten seemed energetic and playful already as they knew her, another trait that matched ouma perfectly.
when they entered the house, ouma put the kitten gently to the floor immediately. they both took their gloves and coats off, saihara heard ouma talk to the kitten as he walked to the bedroom with a calm expression his face. when he returned and got ready to put his coat on again, ouma called for him with a whine. “shu-chan! i can’t talk to her because we haven’t named her yet! this is so awkward, i have to cut mid-sentence and she probably thinks i’m shy now!”
the teal-haired one offered a gentle chuckle, walking closer to the kitten and petting her tail as he did so. “i could hear you from the bedroom, kokichi-kun. you were almost meowing along with her.”
“because she only gives attention when you do that! try it yourself, shu-chan! meow to her!”
saihara shook his head. his eyes were amused as he looked back at ouma. “try to think of a name until i come, hm?”

they named her “lia”.
it was a moderately common name. it was also uncharacteristically simple coming from someone as creative and extravagant as the supreme leader. he responded with “because it was always~ my dream to have a cat named ‘lia’, ever since i was four! i’m sure i’ve mentioned that before, shu-chan, but i guess you just don’t care about me!” when saihara asked why.
the true reason was probably because it sounded like “nya” when it was said in a high-pitched tone. saihara assumed ouma was actually serious about his statement yesterday night. he just hoped the latter wouldn’t want to change the name when he realized cats would get used to hearing their names eventually, but ‘lia’ didn’t sound that badly, so maybe ouma wouldn’t want to change it at all.
he was still confident when they visited the veterinary and got an i.d. for the kitten, so there was no going back now. ouma’s new best friend and spiritual twin was called lia. the vet also informed them that lia was just old enough to start eating wet cat food. they had also stopped at a shop and bought lots of toys and pillows for lia. saihara was actually surprised when ouma didn’t suggest to take her with them when they left the house, since he insisted she’d sleep with them and eat from the same dining table as them last night.
it was funny to see the small leader, who usually took the most place on bed, to crawl so much on himself and take the place right next to the corner that he nearly falled off the bed almost five times in one night in order to not disturb the kitten.
when saihara opened his eyes the next morning; the small kitten who could not possibly be taking more than twenty centimetres when stretched, was sleeping at the corner of ouma’s side of bed and ouma was sleeping on top of saihara. with his entire body. probably to not take any more space and leave his place fully to the cat.
the young dedective could not explain his love for the other. ouma was exactly the type to be mean to humans and nice to animals, it was probably that way from all of their friends’ sights as well, since he always wore a small tiger necklace and have panda printed notebooks and bring his goat-shaped slippers to there whenever they had a sleepover at someone else’s house.
in the morning, when they woke up like that, saihara just kept laying in the same position and stroked his boyfriend’s velvety violet hair affectionately for half an hour, until the other also naturally woke up. ouma grinned and kissed saihara dazedly right after opening his eyes, probably not remembering yesterday’s events at first since eyes got funnily wide in middle of their kiss and jumped off of saihara’s lap quickly to look for the kitten. he didn’t realize she was on the bed, probably because he was still sleepy, and ran all over the house in three minutes.
saihara bit his lip to keep his laughter in as the kitten climbed to his leg and started rubbing her head to saihara’s hand. “shu-chan, did we leave any windows open last night? i can’t find her!” ouma’s panicked voice arise as he ran back to the bedroom with a sweaty face. then both his eyes and lips got wide again when he immediately jumped to the bed and started petting the kitten on saihara’s lap.
then the realization hit him, and he looked up at saihara with a fake pouty face. “i can’t believe you shu-chan. this is too much. i got so scared for a moment and nearly tripped on the kitchen from how scared i was and died!” he spoke with an overly disappointed voice but then got quieter. “y’know, geninuely, i probably wouldn’t agree to get any other cat than lia. she’ll be living with us for the rest of our lives! she feels different than any other cat i’ve seen before. she’s the cuuutest.”
“i think so too. don’t worry, we’ll get railings for the windows and balcony. but we should still close the windows shut when we leave the house, i think.” ouma stood up in his place and kissed saihara’s cheek when the taller finished talking. “mhm.”

“sh-sh-shu-chan! nnn…” saihara watched with big, dazzled eyes as the other kept going up and down on his lap with an overwhelmingly fast pace. his beautiful, amber-lepidolite eyes were now half-lidded and unfocused with pleasure, his usually sneering mouth open and drooling continuously. “mmh!”
the voice he let out was close to a scream when saihara held his waist firmly and interrupted his movements, bringing glossy lips to suck at the leader’s pink nipples. the navy-haired male groaned loudly when the shorter clenched around him while he was still buried so deep inside him. just when he was about to seperate his face from his lover’s now glistening chest, he heard the older let out a rushed squeak. “p-pull the covers!”
“huh?” saihara asked, confused, his head still dizzy from the familiar warmness and tighness around him.
“i-i can’t do this while she’s watching! please cover us!” the other pleaded, pointing at the confused cat whose ears were risen with curiosity with his eyes. though, after realizing he’d been so lost in what they were doing, his worried eyebrows relaxed with the foolishness of their situtation. “w-wait, ahahaha, shu-chan…” he giggled awkwardly.
saihara also joined him in his giggling after he covered their middle and bottom parts with the rose-cornflower printed duvet. “we should probably close the door when we do this.”
“n-no way, if she wants to spend time with us we can’t just mercilessly not allow her! she has the right to investigate everywhere she wants!” again, realizing he’s being too serious for such a ridiculous thing, he giggled. “or we’re not having sex again. to protect her innocent eyes of course. wow, you’re so dirty, shu-chan! you suggested to rail me, your shameless pervert self is responsible for all this—!”
the taller hummed calmly as he lifted the light male from his lap and switched their places. pulling the duvet over himself now was much more comfortable than the previous position. he parted ouma’s soft legs with gentle hands and searched for the same refreshing feeling, not stopping to watch the other’s expression for a single second as he entered the boy again.
ouma, who had just been starting to get relaxed, screamed for the billionth time that day as his face went from amused to a failed attempt of irritated. “ah!” saihara smiled as he went back to thrusting in his boyfriend.

lia, somehow, ended up having the perfectly imitated personality of ouma.
it was as if she was the boy’s daughter, saihara thought, while one hand of his stratched lia’s head and the other stratched ouma’s who were both fast asleep from exhaustion due to playing all day. they were curled up to saihara’s sides cosily.
the awake male sighed softly as he withdrew his hand from lia’s head and turned to lay on his right; embracing the quiet, sleeping leader. saihara didn’t remember hearing to ouma snore for once and since himself also did not make any sound while sleeping, their house would be entirely quiet at nap times. as he examined his boyfriend’s peaceful face, spotted a tiny cat stratch on his nose, and smiled to himself. his hand kept going through heterochromic’s locks soothingly when he pulled ouma closer, not insisting to stay awake when his eyelids started to get heavy.
he woke up with both ouma and himself on the floor with pillows placed under their heads next morning. lia was taking the smallest space, crawled at the corner of their bed again.
