Finding Home || Kazutora Hanemiya

Chapter 9

You quickly fished out your keys from your pocket when you reached your apartment's building.

"I've never ran this much in my entire life." you panted when you stepped inside and started walking up the stairs, with Cassie still in your arms.

"We barely ran half a mile." Kazutora said amused as he followed you.

"Exactly." just as you said the word you started coughing.

"When we're up, you go and take a warm bath." Kazutora ordered.

"No, you go first."

"No, you were out in the rain searching for us for God knows how long, in those clothes. You're soaking wet."

You raised one of your eyebrows and looked back at him with a suggestive grin. Kazutora looked back at you and after a few seconds his eyes widened and you laughed. He groaned and rolled his eyes, but a small smirk was on his face.

"How old are you, twelve?"

"Don't worry, I'm old enough." you winked and laughed again as you opened the door.

Kazutora's laugh was short living though, because the minute he stepped inside, he heard a loud bark, and running footsteps. He turned towards the charging husky and his back was slammed against the wall as Ryo jumped on him with his two front legs.

"Oh, Jesus!" Kazutora groaned then chuckled as he started petting him. "Are you always going to tackle me when we meet?"

"I'm starting to get the feeling that he loves you more than me." you smiled. "Hey Ryo, look who else is back!" you said as you put Cassie down.

The two dogs smelled and licked each other's face happily. You quickly searched for a towel and started to dry Cassie with it.

"Let me do that. Go and take a shower." Kazutora said as he crouched down next to you and started to rub Cassie

"You sure you don't want to go first?"

"Mhm."

You nodded and went to the bathroom to start to fill the tub with warm water. You put your hand under it, but after a few seconds of waiting it was still cold.

"Fantastic." you murmured.

"There's no hot water left." you said to Kazutora as you turned off the lamp in the bathroom.

"Shit." Kazutora cursed as he was still trying to dry Cassie.

"I'm gonna go change into something warm. Do you have any dry clothes in there?" you pointed to his bag.

Kazutora walked to it, and opened it.

"Yeah, they're dry."

"Okay, I'll be right back." you said as you picked out a few clothes from one of the boxes, then went to your room.

'Men. Naked men. Naked, hairy men. Naked, hairy men with mustache.' Kazutora tried to distract himself, so he won't have the chance to imagine you as you pull off your clothes. 'Aaand I failed.' he thought as a picture of you in a lacy black underwear popped into his head.

Kazutora shook his head quickly then looked down at Cassie, and she was looking straight back at him with big eyes. Kazutora frowned.

"Don't look at me like you know what I'm thinking about." he told her.

"Why, what are you thinking about?" you asked as you came out of your room.
Kazutora's head snapped in your direction.

"Uh, nothing." he cleared his throat then let go of Cassie, and she and Ryo ran to their bed to lay down.
