After the albino had calmed down, which was surprisingly quick and he even fell asleep, Soraru took the chance to quickly fit the cat with the baby clothes. It was just right, strangely enough. He poked the albino's cheek lightly.

"It suits him..." Soraru admired the adorable sight as he chuckled a little bit.

After a while, Soraru suddenly seemed to remember something and he turned his attention to the strewn objects. Tired both externally and internally, he facepalmed and sighed deeply. Geez, he really didn't want to clean this up. He stared at the little space on his bed for a while and then casually dumped some items onto the floor. Having made at least sufficient amount of space, Soraru laid on his bed and glanced at the albino. Hopefully keeping it didn't mean this happening all the time. Soraru couldn't help but think out loud, "He would be less difficult to find if he was bigger..."

If he was Soraru's age or at least a teenager... Ah. Soraru shook his head; the albino wouldn't be a cat anymore, then. Well. Not that he was at this point either. He sighed again. The cat had caused him so much trouble, but yet Soraru couldn't help but feel that it was extremely fun in a way. And the albino was too cute to ignore! Even if he was... a little rude. But anyone would realise that the albino harboured an extreme hate for humans. In other words, Soraru was no exception.

He couldn't help but want to know more and more about this strange albino. Where was he from? Likes, dislikes? Favourite food... And more! Soraru couldn't help but secretly wish, It would be nice if he opened up to me.

Bzzzt bzzzzt bzzzzt

A vibration looped continuously, breaking his train of thoughts. His phone. Soraru immediately got up to find his cellphone, which was of course under the pile of mess. He really didn't need the albino waking up now; who knew how he was going to react to the clothes! After some searching, Soraru found the cellphone and quickly answered without even a glance at the caller ID.

"Soooorrraarrruuu-" Oh god. Soraru recognized this sheep-like voice anywhere.

"Nee, Soraru, soooo listen to this...! Hashiyan-" The voice got significantly louder as the person on the other line became more agitated. Soraru immediately covered the phone to slightly muffle it and hurriedly glanced at the tiny sleeping albino. After confirming that he was still asleep, Soraru sighed softly in relief and then while being very careful not to wake it, quickly got himself out of the apartment. All this while the person on the phone was still rambling on.

"- and then he got angry with me...! Hey, Soraru, are you listening?! This is really serious you know!!!" The voice hiccuped angrily for a bit and then went silent after, desperately pressing for an answer from Soraru who had yet to respond.

The other end of the line was so loud that Soraru needed to put his phone away from his ear for a bit. When the voice had gone silent, he put his phone back and then finally replied, "Have you been drinking again,

Amatsuki..."

There was a short silence before the voice began once again.

"Nooo..." Hic.

... Yeah that sounded very convincing.

"Hm is that so... Anyway shouldn't you apologise to him?" Despite everything, Soraru had been listening all along. And to him it sounded like it was Amatsuki's fault this time.
