Finding Home || Kazutora Hanemiya

Chapter 12

Cassie didn't have a collar. You glanced at the dining table, then grabbed your purse, picked Cassie up and walked out the door with Ryo.

After both of the dogs finished their businesses, you walked them to a petshop, and you saw a sign on the door that pets are allowed to go in too. You smiled and went in with the dogs. You searched among the rows until you found the one where the dog collars were. Ryo had a simple blue one, so you decided to buy Cassie a similar one in red. Just when you were about to pick one from the hanger, your eyes widened when you saw a bunch of batman- and robin patterned collars.

"Hoooly shit!" you exclaimed as you looked at them. "Cassie, your dad's gonna love this!"

You grinned and picked a black one with yellow batman-logos on it for Cassie, and you decided to buy a similar one for Ryo, only with the robin-logos. Then you went to one of the assistants, and asked her to make a name tag for Cassie. On the front there was Cassie's name, and on the other side were your address and Kazutora's name.

You grinned as you put the collar and name tag on Cassie, and you changed Ryo's too.

"Oh my God, you guys are so cute!" you cooed as you petted them on their heads and they wiggled their tails happily.

You hurried back to your apartment, you couldn't wait to show them to Kazutora. When you opened the door you instantly heard Kazutora's voice from the kitchen.

"What took you so long?" he asked and a second later he came out of the kitchen.

You grinned at him.

"Come on, Cassie! Show it to him!"

Kazutora frowned at Cassie as she ran to him, then when he noticed the collar, his eyes went wide.

"Holy shit!" he exclaimed as he picked her up. "Guess you're a real hero now, huh?" he asked her as he scratched her behind her ears, then he looked at you with a soft smile.

"You shouldn't have."

"Hey, she can't run around without a collar!" you said as you put your keys and purse down.

"She's not running around, remember when you said that we always carry her, wherever we go?" he asked with a grin and you laughed.

"Yeah but still..." you walked in front of Kazutora and petted Cassie too.

For a few seconds you two stood there in silence, sometimes your fingers brushed against Kazutora's as you both caressed Cassie. Neither of you pulled away though, just continued with your actions. However you felt like Kazutora's eyes were on you, and when you looked up at him, you saw that he was indeed looking at you with warm eyes, but when your eyes met, he quickly looked down at Cassie, clearing his throat.

Your lips twitched upwards when you saw that. You bit your lip and took a step back.

"I bought one for Ryo too, look!" you said then you called Ryo.

Kazutora laughed when he saw his collar. He crouched down and put Cassie on the floor.

"Nice collar, Hero!" he said as he scratched Ryo's ear.

Ryo's tail wiggled faster and faster as Kazutora petted him, and he nuzzled his face in his.

"Okay, enough... Enough!" Kazutora yelled as Ryo jumped on him with his front two legs, making Kazutora fall on his ass.

You laughed out loud and grabbed Ryo, trying to pull him off Kazutora.

"Bad dog!" Kazutora said as he stood up, but reached out to pet Ryo's head one more time.
