Old Book, New Chapter. - ReddNook

Chapter twenty-five.

Little over a month had passed since Tom and Redd had talked with the twins.
And after that, it didn't take too long to whole island to know that the two were dating. Which at first worried Tom slightly.

He didn't get to tell his childhood bestfriend, Sable Able, before Timmy blurred everything out.

But, Sable took it surprisingly well. She was first taking back a little hearing the news, knowing the history between the two. But she of course wanted to Tom to be happy.

News died down after it was told K.K. Slider, one of the most famous musicians, was going to come to Cave. Everyone was preparing for it.

"I still can't believe this." Tom said, cleaning up his desk.
"I know, I know, you have told me that five times today." Isabelle hummed, watering her plant. She looked up to the clock. "And it's only eleven." she chuckled.

The tanuki flicked his tail gently. "Well... I might have... But this is huge, K.K. Slider, The K.K. Slider, is coming to Cave."

Isabelle shook her head slightly. "Of course, it is." she hummed happily, placing her watering can aside.

She flinched slightly when doors opened by force. She, and Tom, looked over to Redd who stepped in.

"Redd, what are you doing here?" Tom asked, putting his files down to his desk. He eyed the kitsune up and down. "Are you, are you still wearing pyjama pants?" he asked.

"Mmmaybe! But I came here to say how much I love ya and how much I miss you when you're away." Redd chuckled, stepping closer to Tom's counter.

Tom let out soft sigh, with slight smile. "Well, I love you too, and I miss you when I'm away." he told picking up his cup.

Redd wagged his tail happily. He sat down to Tom's counter. He looked over to the shih tzu, who was trying to do her job.

"Hey Izzy! I am stealin' Nookie, you can have him back in hour, or never, dunno yet." he told with smirk.

Isabelle looked up to Redd, giving slight smile and nod. "Of course! Take your time." she hummed softly.

Tom let out soft sigh, as he drank his coffee. "I'm going to stay away only for thirty minutes." he told placing his cup back to the desk.

The kitsune flicked his tail, as he dropped pen to the floor. He looked up to Tom. "Aw c'mon Nooksie, hour is only thirty minutes longer than, well, thirty minutes. And Izzy can handle things by herself." he told, tail wagging slightly.

"Can you not do that?" Tom asked picking up the pen. He placed the pen to his pen holder. "And I still have lot to do today, I can't stay away for an hour."

Redd rolled his eyes slightly. "Hey Izzy~ Nooksie can stay away for an hour, right?" "Of course he can." the shih tzu nodded.

"You heard the woman, let's go." he hummed as he hopped down from the counter.
"But-"

"No, we go." the kitsune huffed wrapping his arms around the tanuki's right arm. He quickly gave gentle kiss to his cheek. "It's time to eat, and spend time with me."

"Just, let me do few things first." Tom sighed, getting his arm free from Redd's grip. "Fine..." the kitsune murmured as he sat down to Tom's office chair.

Redd had fallen asleep while Tom was finishing his work. The tanuki looked over to the kitsune.

He let out soft sigh, as he went over to Redd. "Hey, time to wake up." he hummed softly, giving few scratches behind the kitsune's ear.

Redd fluttered his eyes open, as he leaned against Tom's hand. "I am..." he mumbled, closing his eyes again.
"You are not going to get up by yourself, hm?"
"No, I'm not~"

Tom let out soft sigh. "How old are you?" he asked, as he scooped Redd to his arms. The kitsune let out yelp, "You can't do somethin' like this!"

He shook his head slightly, giving soft chuckle. He gave kiss on Redd's forehead, before he let him go.

The kitsune flicked his tail, as he buried his face to his hands. "You can't just pick me up like that..." he muttered.

"Yes I can. Now, let's go, before I change my mind." Tom told.
"Fine, let's go." Redd told brushing his loose hair back. "See ya in hour!" he hummed to Isabelle, taking Tom's hand to his own.

"Of course! Have a nice break Tom! And don't worry, I can handle things by myself." the shih tzu nodded.

She shook her head slightly as Tom and Redd left the building.
Those two are something.
