You yawned, stretching your arms against the couch you nestled on. A sound came from the corner of the room that made you jump. There was a small groan, and then you heard a soft sigh. You smiled, seeing the adorable boy with dark hair on the ground, with a sad look on his face. His ears twitched, and you saw the tired eyes as they looked down at the mess scattered around him. Your part feline friend always has a habit of making messes when he's investigating. He still isn't used to your home yet.

"What are you doing, Kirito?" You asked, leaning you elbows on your knees. The boy examined you, shrugging his shoulders. His tail wrapped around his small waist, landing in his lap. He seemed upset at himself, and it was obvious that he wasn't talking to you at the moment. You signed, patting the seat beside you. Kirito had only been a visitor in your house for some time now. You discovered him alone, hiding his tail and ears from everyone, looking scared. At first, you thought he was just a normal boy, until you discovered his ears. You found them cute, even though some people treat him like a freak. Kirito was a normal boy, with a few unique features. But he was still incredibly shy around you, so he didn't talk much to begin with.

The boy stood, walking over to the couch, and sitting beside you. His ears lowered, and he looked at you with soft eyes. "I'm sorry," He mumbled, quietly, "I was trying to get a book down." You giggled, ruffling his dark hair. The boy perked his ears up, looking at you with raised eyebrows. He always gave you that look when you treated him like a pet. But it was hard to resist with those adorable ears and tail. He was too cute.

"That's okay. I'll clean it up later."

You patted your lap, letting the boy curl up and lay his head down. He closed his eyes, relaxing in your lap. This was something you two did often. He was the perfect person to cuddle with, but he was also bet skittish. You couldn't touch him or else he'd run off. But tonight was different. He allowed you to run your fingers through his hair, and scratch his scalp delicately. The boy hummed with enjoyment, and you could feel a soft pur coming from him. You smiled, feeling a sense of closeness to him.

"Y/n," Kirito said with softness.

"Yes?"

"Can I stay with you... forever?"

You blushed, watching the boy roll onto his back and prop up on his elbows. His lips turned into a smile, which made your heart thump with joy. "Of course!" You screamed with excitement, pulling the small cat boy into a tight hug. He continued to purr, hugging you back with equal force. "I'd want nothing more," You whispered, planting a small kiss on his cheek. The boy blushed bright, his ears wiggling. He wasn't expecting such a blunt response from you, and he started inching away from you.

Your hands tugging on his arm, pulling me against you. With your opposite hand, you tilted his head and placed a small kiss on his lips. The boy jumped, a yelp sounding from his slightly parted lips. His body twitched, and his tail stood straight up in mostly shock. You giggled, relaxing him by petting his cheek with your thumb. The boy began to relax, gently pressing his lips against yours. After a while, his tail was once again still, and he had crawled into your lap. The two of you kissed for a while, holding each other tenderly. When the boy pulled away, you could see a slight blush on his cheeks and a gentle smile.

"Can we do that again?"

"Later," You mumbled, "I wanna cuddle with you for now." The boy nodded, curling himself into a small ball, and lying his head on your shoulder. You felt his soft purrs as he closed his eyes, nestling his head in the crook of your neck. After he had adjusted, you wrapped your arms around him and kissed the top of his head. His ear twitched once again, and his tail swatted at your legs. But you knew that he was content. You knew that he was comfortable and safe. You knew that he was happy.

And so were you.

Kirito was more than just some boy you helped. He was an adorable, partial feline that meant the world to you. He was your best friend, and he was more than that now. But the part that you enjoyed most, was moments like this. Getting to sit and enjoy the warmth of his body against your own. Listen to the soft purrs of his body as you pet his soft head of dark, straight locks.

He was the perfect person for cuddling.
