Old Book, New Chapter. - ReddNook

Chapter seventy-three.

Redd cracked his back. "I really should work on my posture." he hissed. Then he let out soft yawn. He shook his head slightly.

He cleaned up his work place and then went to his kitchen. He rolled his eyes slightly, and washed his dirty dishes. He twitched his ears slightly when his phone started to buzz.

He washed his hands and dried them,  before he took his phone from his pocket. It was Tom. He wagged his tail slightly as he answered to the call, "Hiii! How are ya?" he asked.

The tanuki let out soft chuckle, "Fine." he hummed softly. "Boys and I should be there in hour and half." he added.

"Is everything alright? Have you eaten anything?" he decided to ask.

The kitsune snorted softly. "I'm fine, and yeh, I ate." he told. "Anyways, hows your dad?" he asked as he opened his hair.

"Oh, he's fine, he was happy to see boys." Tom hummed. "Timmy, no running, you might trip. Ohdear, I need to go now, see you soon." he told.

"Nooksie-" Call ended.
The kitsune huffed softly as he pocketed his phone. He looked up to clock, 7.36 pm. He went around the house to shut the lights.

He flicked his tail as he stepped outside. He started to walk along the path. He looked up to the sky, it was clear and sun was settling down. He gave another flick to his tail as he eyed the sky.

Redd walked over to Tom's house. He opened the door and went inside. He removed his shoes as he closed the door.

He went to the living room and sat down on the couch. He took pillow and wrapped his arms around it. He lied down and closed his eyes.

Two hours went by, Tom let out soft sigh as he opened the door. "Come now, it's already late." he told.

The twins went inside. "Uncle Redd!" Timmy chimed as he took his shoes off. He twitched his ears slightly. "Is he home?" Tommy asked.

"He might be asleep already." Tom told. "And so should you two, go to eat, then to bed." he added as he ushered the twins to kitchen.

His ears pricked up when he heard thud coming from the living room. He went there, and looked over to the kitsune on the floor. "Nooksie, hiya." he chuckled softly, moving his hair from his face.

"How you slept?" the tanuki hummed, as he offered his hand to the kitsune. He took his hand, and got up from the floor. "I, uh... Fine?"

Tom chuckled softly. "So, what you have done while we were gone?" he asked softly, as he brushed his thumb against Redd's cheek.

The kitsune wagged his tail happily, as he stole kiss from the tanuki. "Nothin' really, just done few paintings, and had tea with Izzy." he told.

Tom nodded. "M-mh, that's nice to hear." he hummed. "Hm... When was last time you ate?" he asked as he pulled back.

Redd flicked his tail as he looked up to clock, 9.42 pm. "Maybe six or so hours ago." he told with slight shrug.

"Maybe we could go eat something, I can make tea for you." Tom hummed softly as he gave few scratches behind the kitsune's ear.

He scrunched his nose. "I ain't hungry, I might just go sleep." he told with soft huff. "I woke up early." he murmured as he stretched his arms.
"You woke up early?" the tanuki asked as he rised his brow slightly.

"Yeh, I did." he huffed crossing his arms against his chest. "I woke up at nine, and it's early to me." he mumbled.

Tom blinked. He shook his head slightly as he let out soft chuckle. "Whatever you say." he hummed. "I guess go ahead, because I need to eat something." he added.

Redd stuck his tongue out. "Night." he told as he stole another kiss from the tanuki. He left the room and went upstairs.

Tom shook his head slightly as he went to the kitchen. He opened a cabinet, and took plate from it. He placed the plate on the table as he sat down.

"Uncle Tom, when we can go see papa again?" Timmy asked as he got up from his seat, taking his plate and glass.

Tom twitched his ears slightly. "I don't know yet, maybe at Christmas." he told as he made sandwich for himself.

He shook his head slightly. "Remember to brush your teeth." he told as the twins put their dishes away.

"Good night!" Timmy chimed as he left the kitchen. "Night, uncle Tom." Tommy hummed softly as he followed behind his brother.

He sighed softly as he ate his sandwich. He cleaned the kitchen, and went upstairs. He opened the door to the bedroom, and flicked the lights on. He undressed and put his sleepwear on.

The kitsune let out huff as he hugged his pillow. "Nooksie, shut the lights..." he murmured. The tanuki shook his head slightly. "I'm sorry, I'll do it in minute." he told as he went to the bathroom.

After some time Tom stepped out of the bathroom, and went to shut the lights. He went over to the bed, and lied down.

He flinched slightly when the kitsune wrapped his arms around his middle. "Good night..." the kitsune muttered as he buried his face to his neck.
