Something more (Soramafu & Urasaka)

Chapter 5

Urata and Mafu were walking back home, neither saying anything along the long walk. Their brains were a jumble of thoughts as they were trying to figure then out. After the visit to Sakata's house, they just can't seem to get a grasp on Soraru. One of them hates the way Soraru thinks is the best to protect Sakata and the other one is lost in thought about how Soraru isn't a terrible person at all. After all, people can't always be nice, eventually some break at a point in their lives. Mafu felt bad for Sakata as he had gone through bullying too, he knows how it feels to be weak. Urata hated Soraru because his actions brought back the memories about how he used to act before, he wants to forget the past him. The more they think about the brothers, the more they start to realize how much they mirror them. Urata was like a brother to Mafu, and Urata thought of Mafu as someone he should, no, someone he WILL always protect. They've been through a lot together just like the brothers, so just seeing how they act brings back some scars to the both of them.

They parted at some point and Mafu made it back to the comfort of his home. Well that was such a fun visit, he thought sarcastically as he took his shoes off. When he looked down he realized that he forgotten something, more like he forgot someone. AH! WHERE'S IROHA?!?

Mafu started to panic as he realized that his beloved cat wasn't here with him. No wonder the house has a negative feel. Iroha was the one who brought positivity to his house and mind. The albino looked outside, hoping that maybe, just maybe, she was playing outside.

But to his distress, she wasn't there. The only other place he could think about were he could've left her was at the sibling's house. She must've wandered while we were talking and I didn't notice before we left.

Mafu could only curse at himself for forgetting his own pet cat. He decided that he would go get her tomorrow since he had nothing to do. But it'll be awkward now because of today..... Mafu's thoughts trailed on as he went to his bed and fell asleep.

"Niichan are you okay?" Sakata knocked on his brother's door.

He got a small 'yes' as a reply and as he opened the door to enter he saw his brother playing around with a cat.

"Eh? Did we ever get a cat?"

Sakata walked towards his brother's bed and crouched down next to Soraru, who was sitting on the floor.

"Nope. Probably MafuMafu's cat." Soraru replied, his eyes not leaving the cat that was playing with a toy.

"How do you know it's Mafu's?"

"A guess. He seems like the type of person to have a pet."

"Why is she even here? I thought she left with Mafu?"

"I was playing games in my room after I left you guys and I heard something scratch the door. I opened it and saw the cat just enter the room. Eventually she never left my room and kept me company."

"She seems like she likes you." Sakata commented on how Iroha seemed to purr and cuddle with Soraru.

Soraru didn't pay attention to his brother and just continued playing with the cat. Ah, he's focusing more on the cat than his own brother, Sakata pouted at Soraru for ignoring him when he realized something.

"Shouldn't we give her back to him. I'm sure Mafu's worried about her."

"It's late, we can give the cat back to Mafumafu tomorrow. I'm pretty sure even if we don't, he's going to come back to get her...... if he's smart enough to remember."

"The cat has a name niichan, and it's Iroha. And how rude of you to say he's an idiot."

"Well we should go to sleep now."
