You keep me alive (KagaKuro Fanfic)

Chapter 8

Just eight days later Kagami send a message to the guy he had been spending his time with lately. He was finally ready to come to check out his place. Kuroko couldn't help but smile, try to hide all his excitement as he opened the message.

Nigou kept jumping and whining next to his feet. He wanted attention, wanted someone to play with, wanted food, wanted to get on his laps. It didn't matter what, but he didn't want to get ignored once again.

He wasn't used to it. For the 6 years he had been alive, Tetsuya gave him all his love and attention. He didn't have to share his human with anyone else. 

But nowadays he barely had time for him. He spend more and more often his days alone at home, from the sunrise to the midnight.

It was scary.

A few times he had shown his opinion about that by messing the whole apartment up. He had broken some ceramic angels the bluenette had gotten from his mother when he was just a child, he had peed everywhere, so when Kuroko would finally come back, he would come to an awful mess.

He was always so angry.

Why is that?

He just wanted him to be more at home? Doesn't he understand?

Why is he like that nowadays?

Once again Tetsuya just pushed his pet aside, not looking at him for even a second. Getting ignored so badly made Nigou finally shut his mouth, disappointed.

He was like air to him. Why wouldn't he see him

"Nigou, please try to behave today," he requested as he walked to the kitchen. The male opened every white, wooden closet one by one, glancing trough every each of them. He desperately tried to come up with something he could make for the redhead. He had no money to waste on expencive ingredients. He had no possibilities to prepare as delicious meal as Taiga had done.

In the worst case he would have to feed him just frozen pizzas.

That'd be embarrassing.

"Kagami-kun is coming here tonight. I'm excited to introduce you to each other. I'm sure that you'll like him" he explained. The small fur-ball finally walked to kitchen after his owner after hearing his name.

"I'm sure you'll like him." Well, Nigou wouldn't be so sure about that.

He was jealous as fuck and couldn't help but see that guy inside of his mind as some kind of a monster. He didn't want to believe that his owner had found someone better than him to spend his time with.

But he forgot everything what he was thinking as he saw how the slender male finally gave him his breakfast, filled his food cup with dog food. His tail started to whip from one side to another. Just a bit faster, and he would have been able to fly.

"We'll have a great night today" he finally got the petting he had been desiring for the last 12 hours as Kuroko knelt down next to him and placed his palm on his back.

Food and pleasing touches of their dear owner. No dog needed more.

Before anyone even had time to realize it, the day had already passed. Pointers of the clock were reaching to the 20th hour. Kuroko had already spent two hours shopping, one outside, walking with Nigou, three in the kitchen, glancing through his recipes, trying to find something easy, cheap and delicious to make. Cleaning up the whole apartment took four hours. Showering, combing the hair and picking the clothes took the last hour until now.

About the meal, he came up with some salad and chicken with rice. He had almost every ingredient needed in his closets, and the meat was in sale so why not.
