Neko Simon X Josh

Graceful ^
I never thought I'd write something like this but here I am.

Simon cried out, his back pressed aginst a rock. The pressure on his back was nearly enough to distract him from the group of kids kicking him, shouting hurtful words. "FREAK OF NATURE!" "KILL YOURSELF" "YOU'RE NOT NATURAL!" "Just leave!" Simon cried louder, his noises being ignored.

Suddenly the pain stopped and there were, what sounded like, punching sounds. Simon peered over himself and saw a man with bloodied knuckles. The kids who were shouting abuse and dealing it were laid on the ground, their faces bloody and their eyes closed.

Josh walked over to Simon, gently picking up the creature. "Fucking kids, so small minded." Josh growled to himself, holding Simon as carefully as possible.

Simon watched the man with curious eyes, his ears drooped down and tail stiffened. "E-excuse me? Sir? W-why did you help m-me?" Josh didn't answer, continuing his walk until they stopped in front of a door.

Josh pushed the door open and then closed it with his foot, walking towards what Simon presumed was a living room. "There was no reason for me not to help you. Humanity just beat racism and homophobia, now they're so against nekos. Will they ever get over themselves?" Josh rambled, walking away for a moment.

He soon reappeared with a big bowl of water and a couple rags and bandages. "Can you take your shirt off, Cutie?" Josh asked, damping a rag. Simon's face flushed red but he complied, lifting the material over his head. Josh gently placed his hands onto Simon, rolling the boy onto his stomach. He grimaced at the large red spot on Simon's back, some blood spreading in certain spots.

Josh reached towards the damp rag, gently dabbing it against Simon's back. Simon's ears shot up and his tail fuzzed, the water was a shock and he wasn't the biggest fan of this situation. "It's okay, I'm cleaning your wound. I'll dry you off soon." Josh smiled down at the neko, ringing out the rag in to the bowl.

Josh gently grabbed onto Simon's hips, raising him up so his rear was in the air with his back slightly arched. Josh wrapped the bandage around Simon's back and stomach, trying to be as careful with the kid as possible.

"All done." Simon flipped over so he was sat on his knees, watching Josh with raised ears and a swishing tail. "What's your name?" He asked, tilting his head. Josh held in his giggle and answered, "Josh Bradley, but you can call me Josh." "Josh." Simon tested out the name, it suited the man well.

"What's yours?" "Simon!" Josh broke out into a small smile. "Do you want to stay here, Simon? With me?" Simon's jaw dropped and his tail swished around faster, flicking back and forth in time with his heartbeat. "I'd. . . I would really like that, Josh." Josh smiled and stood up off of the floor, putting away the stuff he took out. "Are you hungry, Simon?" "A little." Josh jumped at the close voice, the neko was stood behind him.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you..." Simon's tail dropped and his ears folded, head hung low. Josh panicked and quickly started to scruff up his hair, "it's fine." Simon's head lifted and his tail and ears spiked back up.

Josh sat on the couch, quietly reading his newly purchased book. A certain cutie was curled up beside him, their tail subconsciously flicking Joshs leg every couple seconds. Josh turned his head to look at Simon. He was really happy that Simon agreed to stay with him, no one deserves to be beaten like he was, even if they're a neko.

Josh reached his hand out towards Simon's head, gently massaging the fluffy ears. 'So soft...' Josh thought. "What are you doing?" Josh opened his eyes and was met with wide blue eyes staring at him, a large blush coating the nekos face.

Josh gasped and quickly pulled his hand back, face turning as Red as his shirt. "Oh god, I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking and I just started to pet you! I'm so so-" Simon rolled his eyes at Joshs rambling, rolling over so his head was in Joshs lap. "You can do it again. I liked it..." Simon mumbled, tail curling around Joshs hand.

"Josh....where will I be sleeping?" Simon suddenly asked, appearing in the bathroom doorway where Josh was brushing his teeth. "Oh! I-i was...I was going to suggest you could sleep in my b-bed...but! If that ma-makes you uncomfortable. . . I could sleep on the couch!" Simon rolled his eyes again, grabbing Josh's hand and walked to the mans bedroom, pushing him down onto the bed.

"Don't get flustered. I don't care where I sleep and you're surely not sleeping on the couch. So we shall both sleep here." Simon declared, wiggling out of his pants, his shirt was still off.

Simon crawled onto the bed, slipping underneath the covers. Simon's body scooted closer towards Josh, enjoying the warmth after being a stray for a couple years. "You...you can hold me..." Simon whispered, noticing Josh's wavering hands.

Josh gently wrapped his arm around Simon's waste, pulling the boy closer. "I'm going to protect you...and I'm also going to buy you some new clothes." Simon giggled and snuggled closer to Josh, a lot of trust already placed on the man who saved him. "Goodnight, Josh." "Goodnight, Simon."
