Old Book, New Chapter. - ReddNook

Chapter sixty-seven.

Redd snuggled against his boyfriend. It was already morning, and like usually he wasn't ready to let him go. "Why you can't have day off..?" he asked buring his face to Tom's neck.

"I- Look, I can have weekend off, I promise." the tanuki told as he freed himself from the kitsune's grip. "But it's not same thing." he whined wrapping himself to the blanket.

"Ohdear... Sweet pie, you need some more sleep." The kitsune twitched his ears slightly. "I ain't sleepy..." he huffed softly as he snuggled deeper to the blanket.

"Right, you're not sleepy." Tom chuckled softly. "But I need to go." he told, as he grapped his shirt. He slipped the shirt on, and buttoned it.

His ears pricked up when he heard thud, he looked over to the kitsune, who was on the floor. "What are you doing?" he asked as he adjusted his collar.

"I don't wanna be alone." Redd murmured as he got up from the floor, stumbling forward. He chuckled softly when the tanuki got him. "Is something wrong?" he asked as he helped him to stand.

He twitched his ears slightly. "I just, I dunno, I wanna be with you." he mumbled, as he leaned against the tanuki. "... Can I come with you to work?" he asked his tail lazily wagging.

Tom sighed softly. "I don't think that is so good of idea." he told, as he let the kitsune go. "I'll be quiet, I promise."

He twitched his tail. "Fine, but you need to dress up, I'll go make us something to eat." he told with soft sigh. The kitsune watched him leave the room.

Redd let out yawn as he opened his wardrobe. He grapped T-shirt and hoodie, and pair of sweatpants. He dressed up, then he tied his hair to messy bun.

He went to the kitchen. He let out soft huff as he wrapped his arms around the tanuki's middle. "I want tea..." he mumbled.

"Water isn't ready yet." Tom told, as he moved the kitsune's hands. He turned to face him. "Hm..." He placed his hand against the kitsune's cheek.

"Somethin' wrong?" the kitsune asked as he leaned against his hand. "Oh, it's nothing, but purple looks good on you." he hummed softly, as he pulled the kitsune's hood over his head.

"Heyyy, not fair." Redd huffed as he took his hood off. "You could have ruined my hair." he whined.

The tanuki shook his head slightly as he took two cups from the cabinet. He made coffee for himself and tea for Redd. "Can I ask, why you want to come with me? You do realise there really isn't anything to do?"

"I told ya, I don't wanna be alone," he told as he took his tea from the tanuki. "And I can make sketches, I need to think what I do with Francine's paintin'."

Tom nodded, as he made sandwich for Redd and himself. He sat down with soft sigh, as he took sip from his coffee. He pushed other plate opposite side of the table.

Redd sat down, and gave stir to his tea after he had put sugar to it. "It's weird to see you up this early." the tanuki told, as he took bite from his sandwich.

"I feel weird for bein' up this early." he told, as he drank his tea. He rised his gaze to clock, 6.04 am. "You're crazy to wake up this early every fuckin' mornin'." he told.

They ate, and then they got ready to leave. Tom almost tripped over, when the kitsune snuggled against him. The kitsune snorted softly to this.

He opened the doors and went inside, he waited Redd to get in before he closed the doors. He went over to his desk and booted his laptop, before he went to make coffee.

"You already had your mornin' coffee?" the kitsune asked as he sat down on his desk. He took glance of him. "Yes, I did." he nodded, taking his cup.
"Then why you're havin' more?"
"I, always have two cups in the morning?"
"That's not healthy, is it?"

Tom twitched his ears slightly. "Perhaps it isn't." he nodded slightly, as he prepared his coffee. He went over to his desk, and pushed Redd's tail out of his way.

The kitsune let out yawn, as he leaned against his hands. "You should drink less..." he mumbled rubbing his left eye slightly. He paused for a moment. "Yeh, maybe I ain't best to say that."

"Yes, you aren't." told the tanuki, as he moved few papers around his desk. "Now, I need to get to work, you can do what you want," he mumbled. "But do not disturb me." he added.
