Old Book, New Chapter. - ReddNook

Chapter twenty-one.

"Uncle Redd, time to get up!"
He let out soft groan as he pulled blanket over his head. "It's still sleep time..."  he muttered.

Timmy climbed on the bed. "But it's ten thirty-four." he said sitting at the bed. "And uncle Tom told to wake you up."

"And he made some breakfast." Tommy added. The kitsune peeked behind the blanket. "He made breakfast?"
"Yes!"
"Is kitched on flames?"
"Um... No?"
"Then, it's sleep time." he said pulling the blanket back to over his head.

Timmy hopped down from the bed. He took Tommy's hand. They left the room, closing the door behind them.

The kitsune would have fallen back to sleep, if the door didn't open again. "Redd, time to get up." the tanuki told walking over to the window, he opened the blinds. He huffed softly, "No."

Ohdear... This what I have to put up with?
Tom shook his head slightly. He went over to the kitsune, and sat edge of the bed. "Redd, it's boys birthday. And they wanted to have breakfast with you too."

The kitsune flicked his ears. He sat up, and wrapped his arms around the tanuki's middle. "Fine..." he muttered, pressing gentle kiss on the tanuki's neck.

"Good boy." Tom chuckled giving few scratches behind the kitsune's ear, who answered with tail wags.
"Okay, that feels good." Redd purred, leaning against Tom's hand.

"M-mh. Now, be dear and get up, and put something on." he told, moving Redd's hands from around his middle.
"Aw, I can't get more scratches?"

"Hm... Maybe later. Now, didn't you put your clothes to wash last night?" Tom asked getting up, pulling Redd to his feet.
"Uh... Yeh, I did. So, that means I don't have anythin' to put on."

"Yes, because I did not wash them." Tom murmured. He was quiet, thinking, before he spoke again, "You can borrow something from me. But I do think you should get more clothes."
"I can borrow your clothes? For the day?"

"Yes, but you can't be picky. Understand?" he told as he went over to wardrobe. He opened it.
"Fine, but I have to say, your sense of fashion sucks."

Tom shook his head slightly. He threw most of his clothes on the floor. "What the fuck are you doin'?" the kitsune asked as he sat back down on the bed.

"Trying to find something for you that would fit. And I have been meaning to clean my wardrobe for a some time now." he told.

"U-huh." Redd nodded, as he took the blanket. Then he wrapped himself to the blanket.
After a moment, the tanuki threw some clothes at the kitsune, who had fallen asleep. "Wha-" "They should fit." he said.

"Oh, thanks." the kitsune mumbled as he rubbed his eyes. He took look of the shirt the tanuki gave him, it was navy blue. "Huh..."
"Something wrong?"

"No." he chuckled, as he stood up. He pulled shirt over his head, then slipped pants on. "Hm..." He adjusted collar of the shirt.

Tom tilted his head slightly. "So, what you think?" he asked.
"I need belt. But I can put shirt inside of the pants. Otherwise, I like 'em." Redd hummed giving a little flick to his tail. "Buuut, I would never wear this color, but I guess I have to put up with it."

The tanuki blinked. "You, you do realise that you had shirt that was same color as that one when you were eighteen?" he asked, handing belt to the kitsune.

"Yeah, I guess." he shrugged taking the belt from him. He slipped the belt on. "But I had that brown jacket to ease everythin' down."

"Yes, of course, but let's go now. Boys are waiting, and food must be cold already." Tom told as he went over to the door.

"Fine, I guess I can do my eyes after the breakfast." Redd hummed, as he tied his hair to low ponytail.

Tom chuckled softly. "It's nice that you really kept your word, and it wasn't just a phase." he said, as he opened the door.

"M-mh, I just feel nice. And, I guess it gives some closeness, you were the one who gifted me my first eyeliner." Redd told with chuckle, following Tom.
"Ah, yes, for your eighteenth birthday."

"I remember that, it was nice suprise." Redd hummed, as he stepped down from the last step of the stairs.

Tom gave nod, with soft hum. He went to the kitchen. "We are sorry for the wait." he told to the boys.
"It took forever! Why?" Timmy asked as he lied halfway on the table.

"Please sit." Tom told. "And it only took, hm..." He looked up to the clock. "Almost twenty minutes." "Forever!" he said sitting down.

"Mh, it was quite long time... And you said it won't take longer than ten minutes." Tommy said, moving his hair from his face.

"Eh, I'll take the blame for it." Redd chuckled, rubbing back of his neck. "I'm sorry."

"It's okay! But can we eat now?" Timmy asked, tilting his head slightly.
"Yes, yes, of course we can." Tom nodded slightly, with little chuckle.
