And You Disappeared (K Project X Reader)

10: Naps and Memories

Your P.o.v.

Squeak! I bite the stuffed animal in my mouth, swishing my (h/c) tail back and forth in contempt as I listened to the loud squeak that my (f/c) toy rewarded me with every time I bit down on the soft stuffed mouse. Warm sunshine shined in from the window in Mikoto's room, peeking in from the blinds and warming my (h/c) fur causing me clarity. Squeak! I bite down on the toy once more, swaying my tail faster as I tried to get the attention of the red headed male beneath me but he refused to look at me. Instead he kept his eyes closed, his chest rising and falling slowly as he reached up to remove the burning cigarette from his lips and let out a puff of the intoxicating smoke that made my nose twitch. I pawed at his chest, narrowing my cat-like (e/c) and (f/c) eyes until I finally growled and switched back to my human form. I sighed dramatically once I could and tilted my head to the side, letting my (h/l) (h/c) hair flow as it pleased while I kicked my legs back and forth slowly, still staring at the lazy king beneath me. His outfit was different today, instead of Mikoto wearing his usual white t-shirt with his jeans and black boots, he wore a black wife-beater with a pair of black shorts that I noticed were unbuttoned and had slid down to his hips while he slept. His silver bracelets shined in the afternoon sun along with his silver ring but even though the sparkle of the silver was captivating I was more focused on Mikoto's facial features. I had to admit that for being twenty four, Mikoto always looked tired. Some might even say that he was far to young to have those slight creases under his eyes...but I begged to differ. It was a feature about him that I wouldn't dare change. It was just something that made Mikoto, Mikoto. "Play with me~!" I whine, puffing out my cheeks in a pout as I groaned into the young man's rock-hard chest only to get a grunt in response. I looked up just in time to see Mikoto open one of his amber eyes, watching as it trailed all over my body before closing again "...no" he said simply making me puff out my cheeks even more as I rolled off of Mikoto and onto the spot next to him, groaning loudly and dramatically as I did so. "This bores me. Your boring" I mumble, smiling at the end of my sentence as I tried to contain my giggles, showing Mikoto I was joking and I knew that my harmless statement was understood as Mikoto chuckled and twirled a strand of my (h/l) (h/c) hair around his finger. I smile sweetly at him only to quickly sit up, breaking away from Mikoto's hand as I grabbed my (f/c) mouse toy off of Mikoto's chest and placed it in my mouth, squealing to myself in delight as I bit down on the soft plushy hearing it's loud squeak. As soon as I had my toy I stood up and stood over Mikoto before plopping down on my knees, my butt resting on his stomach and my legs resting on either side of his chest. "Can we play now?" I ask hopefully, my words muffled as I jumped up and down excitedly but the more I did and the closer I looked...the more I noticed a light pink dusting Mikoto's cheeks until suddenly I let out a gasp of shock as I was grabbed by my arm and forcefully thrown off of Mikoto's chest. Suddenly I'm pinned to the bed, both of my hands forcefully held above my head as Mikoto loomed over me, his amber eyes narrowed down in a glare. I shrink down more and more until I couldn't even meet Mikoto's gaze anymore and just closed my eyes "I-I'm sorry" I whimper, not knowing what I did wrong. "I just wa-" I'm quickly cut off by a chuckle, small at first, but then it gradually got louder. My (e/c) eyes widen in surprise as I stare up at a laughing Mikoto. His eyes were closed and his body shook as small quiet chuckles left his lips before his amber eyes opened and his lips formed into a smirk "you're so easy to tease" he chuckled, letting me go as he spoke only to go back to the same relaxed position he was in before leaving me to fume in silent anger. "Mean" I mumble under my breath as I roll off the bed, clutching my (f/c) mouse in my mouth as I did so as I landed on my feet and walked over towards the door, looking back and glaring at a still smirking Mikoto. "Mean!" I yell as I quickly leave the room, changing into my sleek (h/c) cat form as I dashed down the stairs, skidding to a stop as I hopped onto a bar stool and then onto the bar counter where I swayed my tail both in both anger and embarrassment. I couldn't believe that I fell for such a stupid move...even if I got to have Mikoto's face close to mine, breathing in his intoxicating scent that sent me over the edge, looking at all his handsome features...I shaky my head as my heart begins to pound. What's wrong with me!? "(Y/n), what's the rule?" I'm pulled out of thoughts by the sound of Izumo's voice from behind me 'oops' I think to myself as I quickly change back into my human form and hop off the bar counter "no cats on the counter" I recite making Izumo nod. Furrowing my eyebrows I sit on a bar stool and rest my chin on the counter, biting my toy in aggravation as I hear the numerous squeaks that sounded like music to my ears. Izumo chuckled at my behavior and looked down at me as he cleaned one of his many precious wine glasses "nobody will play with me" I sigh, dropping my (f/c) mouse of the counter. "Yata, Anna, and Rikio aren't here and Mikoto won't and you said that you don't like cats" I groan, a sad aura surrounding me as I slammed my head on the counter in despair. I could hear Izumo laugh nervously "I can tolerate cats, especially you" he said "it's just the sick, disgusting slobber on a mangy toy that I don't like" he said, disgust in his voice as he spoke. I gasped dramatically as I clutched my stuffed mouse "how dare you talk about Mr. Squeakers like that!?" I say, laughing at my own idiotic statement only for Izumo to sigh and shake his head "I understand about 2% of the humor you all share" he said, but I could see a small smile tugging at his lips. "To bad Tatara's not here" I sigh about to fall into despair once more until Izumo pointed to the black couch "(Y/n), he's been here" he said and I whip my head around only to see a brown blanket resting in a large heap on the couch...but...the more I looked, the more I swear I saw it move up and down slowly. I gasp excitedly as I quickly grabbed my toy "thank you Izumo~!!!" I say quickly, making him shake his head as he chuckled and watched me run off toward the heap on the couch. As soon as I reach the couch I plop down on the floor and rest my chin on the edge of the couch, now clearly seeing Tatara's sleeping face. I tilted my head as I stared, smiling at his relaxed face. Even as he slept the sweet young man smiled. "Tatara~" I sing as I gently poked the blondes shoulder, watching as he stirred but didn't wake up. "Tatara~" I try again, this time being successful and smiling triumphantly as I watched Tatara's brown eyes flutter open. "Ah~ (Y/n)-chan?" he asked and I nodded only making him close his eyes and smile as he reached out to rub the top of my head "is there something I can help you with?" he asked, yawning at the end of his question and I could tell that he was still tired. Then as cutely as I could I showed Tatara my puppy dog eyes and gave my stuffed mouse a small squeak. Tatara laughed and nodded making me smile widely with joy but it quickly faded "I promise I'll play with you...right after this nap" he said smiling, causing me to hang my head low in disappointment but...he did look tired. "Alright, I guess I'll come back later" I mumble in defeat, puffing out my cheeks and staring at the floor as I felt Tatara lovingly pat my head as he closed his eyes once more and fell asleep almost as fast as Mikoto. 'I'm going to die of boredom' I think to myself only for my (e/c) eyes to trail up the couch and right at Tatara. I didn't understand the point of sleeping during the day (YOu saD SoUL) but I had to admit...it did look peaceful and Mikoto, Anna, and Tatara seemed to enjoy it a lot. Then I made up my mind. I reach my hand up and poke Tatara's shoulder once more, this time his brown eyes opening more quickly than before but before he could say anything I spoke "can I sleep with you?" I ask shyly, waiting for Tatara to sigh in annoyance or say "no"...but he didn't do either of those things. But instead smile widely as if I had just told him the best news he had heard all day. "Of course~!" he said happily and I watched as he scooted back and eventually lifted up his blanket, reaching out his warm, welcoming hand toward me making a light pink dust across my cheeks. I hesitantly take Tatara's hand and crawl onto the couch, taking my spot that Tatara made just for me on the soft, plush couch under the warm blanket. Tatara smiled even wider and once I was comfterble he placed the blanket back down, wrapping his arm around my waist to keep the blanket in place but before he could close his eyes once more I spoke up. "Why are you so nice to me?" I whisper quietly, refusing to look him in the eyes as I spoke "I mean...before you...before HOMRA, everyone treated me like I was wasted space, so why...why are you not?" I ask, shrinking back as my question was only met with silence until I heard a small chuckle. Then, suddenly I felt a pair of warm lips rest against more forehead and I look up in surprise just to see Tatara smiling sweetly at me before embracing me, causing my forehead to rest against his chest while his chin rested on top of my head. "Because you're our little Queen" Tatara whispered back just as quietly "and you always will be." My eyes widened as Tatara finished his sentence and I could feel a small, shaky smile make it's way onto my lips as my eyes began to burn but I rubbed them and the burning eventually faded along with the tightening feeling in my throat as one thought ran through my head. To them...I was a Queen.
