Raimon had just won another match. Their momentum didn't seem to stop. Kidou stared at the screen, scratching the stomach of the kitten squirming on his knees. He smiled, watching the animal that meowed when he stopped. It was hardly two days, and it seemed so attached to him. Who would have thought an animal would love him so much like that ?

" You're hungry, aren't you ? Anyway, I do", Kidou noted as he heard his belly gurgle. The kitten looked at his belly curiously, feeling it with suspicion.

The chestnut laughed, and caressed the top of the cat's head, which was taken by surprise. But it ends up purring with contentment. He wanted Gouenji to see him. Maybe he would like it too.

Kidou sighed, and took the kitten in his arms. He stood up and went into the kitchen, resting the kitten on the counter. The researches for the kitten's master didn't give any result. And despite the many disadvantages that the animal could bring, Kidou was more and more attracted by the idea of ​​keeping it. At least he will be less alone.

"You're the only one I have right now. Consider yourself happy to have me only for you", he said, filling a bowl of milk.

He had as a reply the kitten's meow, who had not moved a hair from where he had placed it. He giggled and put the bowl in front of it. And without further ado, it jumped on it with its tail in the air. Kidou smiling, watched it giving small tongues to drink the beverage.

"You were very hungry. If you go too fast, you will-"

Kidou stopped short. And the kitten too. Both of them raised their heads toward the front door, blinking in surprise. The bell was ringing. The chestnut fixed the door for a moment before turning his gaze over to the animal that mewed, surely disturbed by the noise. He caressed it to reassure it, before taking it in his arms. This brought him a mew of anger.

"I will not leave you on the counter unattended. You're surely going to kill yourself like yesterday", Kidou said, heading for the entrance hall.

The kitten protested for a moment, but soon gave up when it saw that its temporary master didn't intend to offer what it wanted. The kitten stopped, while Kidou opened the door, wondering who it could be at this hour. Gouenji appeared before him, leaning against the embrasure of the door. Kidou watched him straighten, completely stunned.

"It's been a long time, Yuuto".

"What are you doing here ?" Kidou stammered, always blushing at his first name.

Gouenji smiled, and leaned over to kiss Kidou, who didn't grumble and let him. He smiled tenderly.

"Since it had been a while, well ... I just wanted to see you", the blond confessed.

Kidou stared at him for a moment, then clapped his hand on his face, hiding his flushing and smug smile. This would break all his credibility if Gouenji knew he was so happy to see him again after those few days of separation. Kidou had always seemed so indifferent to the others' eyes... but despite his efforts, he couldn't stay marble in front of the blond. It would be better not to tell him anything. He would take the opportunity to tease him.

"Come in", Kidou finally said as he walked back to the kitchen.

Gouenji didn't need to be asked it twice, and entered the apartment as if he had always lived there. He put his jacket on the back of the sofa, and opened his eyes wide when he saw the chestnut resting the hungry kitten in front of the bowl, which again attacked the fresh milk. Kidou caressed him with a little smile. And Gouenji's heart miss a beat just by seeing how much the chestnut seemed happy and admiring of such a small thing. One of the expressions he had the chance to see with his own eyes. Maybe the only one before a while.
