Troye's white pleated skirt waved along with his hips as he danced to the music in the kitchen, giggling as Ryan grabbed onto his hand and spun him around. Riley sat on the floor and looked up at them with his blue eyes wide, giggling and trying to get hold of their tails every time they went by. Ryan and Troye had learned quickly to keep their tails up high, despite the relaxed atmosphere they had created in the house. 

The sweet smell of cookie dough filled the space and the giggles and meows of the hybrids was music to everyone's ears, all of their worries from the day before forgotten. It was the day that Brendon, Jacob and Joel were coming home, and Troye had figured that Ryan would be upset. He was right, of course, but he had come up with a plan to distract him. So far they had made two batches of cookies, and the third was on the way. 

Dallon occasionally popped his head into the room to make sure that nothing was on fire, but he quickly learned that Troye could be trusted. While he had trouble reading the recipes, by the time he had them read out to him they were engraved in his mind. It was easier than it was when he was at home though, as Ryan was able to read. It annoyed Troye that he had not been taught earlier in life, but he was doing a fine job with his reading and writing. He was no longer at the same level as Joel, at least. 

The timer on the oven went off and all three nekos stopped what they were doing immediately, Ryan and Riley training their eyes on Troye and watching as he grabbed some oven mitts and pulled the tray out. The cookies were perfectly golden, and it was hard to keep from grabbing them right then and there. "Look how pretty they are," Troye said, tilting the tray ever-so-slightly so that Riley could see. 

"Pwetty," he repeated, smiling widely when Troye gasped and set the tray down. 

"Good boy Riley! Yes, that's pretty. And Ryan is pretty, and my skirt is pretty, and you are pretty!" Troye kissed his hair and hugged him close, spinning around excitedly before setting him on the counter. "He said pretty, I love the word pretty."

Riley looked at Troye like he was slightly insane, but seemed to change his mind and get giggly again. He loved all the attention, especially when Ryan joined in. He waved his arms and perked his ears up, a huge smile on his face. 

"What's going on in here?" Dallon asked, walking over to the fridge and pulling out a drink, looking over at the cluster of nekos curiously. 

"Riley said a word!" Ryan replied, skipping over to Dallon happily. He seemed to forget about his 'hate' for the man as he danced around for a moment before returning to Troye and Riley. "He said pretty!" 

"Did he now?" Dallon asked, coming over to peer over Troye's shoulder. Riley giggled and repeated his word again, only laughing more as Troye and Ryan cheered again. Joel had began walking and talking much earlier than Riley did, and anything the tiny neko did was enough for Troye to get super happy (and occasionally start crying). 

"You're such a big boy," Troye said, lifting Riley back off of the counter and kissing his nose. He set him on the floor and slid the next tray of cookies into the oven. These ones were sugar cookies, and he was going to wait for Joel to get back so they could decorate. He had made Dallon go to the store to get some pretty colours (pink, purple and blue) and some sprinkles. He was excited, they were going to be so pretty. 

Troye grabbed a cookie off of the counter and made sure it was cool before breaking off a piece to give to Riley and chirping for him to follow, all of the nekos and Dallon going to the living room. Once Riley had sat down Troye gave him his cookie and Ryan and the older blue eyed neko laid down by the vent, sighing in content at the warm air blowing up through it. 

"'m tired," Troye muttered, stretching out and placing his hands on his belly. He was starting to get more and more noticeable. He pulled up his shirt and looked at his pale tummy, smiling at the little bump. 

"I wish I could have kittens," Ryan said again, shifting around so that he was looking at Troye's belly, reaching out and gently running his fingers over the small baby bump. He frowned. "Maybe then Bren would keep me." 

"None of that," Troye said, grabbing Ryan's hand and bringing it up to his lips to kiss gently before laying it back down on his abdomen. "Don't worry about that today, okay Ry? Just enjoy the day." 

Ryan frowned but nodded, resting his free arm under his head as he continued to trace his cool hand over Troye's warm skin. Soon enough Troye had fallen asleep. Ryan smiled at his friend and cuddled closer. He was so glad he had Troye. If he did not know the pretty blue eyed neko... he probably would have lost his mind by this point. 

Riley saw that everyone was starting to sleep and crawled over, his little chin covered in cookie crumbs. He curled up beside Ryan and stuck a fist in his mouth, his other hand holding onto Ryan's white t-shirt. Riley's big blue eyes connected with Ryan's honey brown for a few moments before he settled down and fell asleep, his little purrs mixing with Troye's and quickly luring Ryan into a deep sleep as well.
