"Dude! You seriously gonna make me sleep on cold floor?"

Pete gaped at the guy standing in front of him with a pillow and blanket in his hands. Well, Kao wasn't actually going to but he liked the look on Pete's face.

"I'm letting you sleep inside! Be grateful idiot!"

"Are you always biting people or is this special treatment  exclusively just for me?"

"What do you mean by biting?" Kao threw the blankets down on the floor and placed both his hands on his hips.
"What exactly you think I am, A DOG?"

Pete smiled playfully. "No.... not a dog!" And he jumped on Kao's bed. "More like a wild kitten!"

"YOUUUU!"

"Oiii.... you'll wake everyone!" Pete laid back comfortably. "Or maybe they should wake up so I can tell your mom you treat me badly"

That shut Kao up. He didn't want mom to think he's making Pete sleep on the floor.

"Good kitten!"

"Ohh screw you!"
Kao picked up the blankets and threw them at Pete, grabbed his towel and went into bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

He doesn't understand why Pete always affects him like this. He can be a bit sassy but he never swears at anyone else. Pete's right, this special treatment as he calls it, is only for Pete.

While outside, Pete sighed  when he heard the water. He had to use all his willpower to stay where he was. Why he suddenly wanted to join Kao in there?
He had no answer for that.

But who the hell told that stupid cat he could leave the door unlocked?

Pete was pleasantly surprised when the  clothes Kao lent him fit perfectly.

"You know I was kidding, I can sleep on the floor" he looked at the guy covered with duvet and the extra blanket.

"Who the hell said I was going to make you sleep on the floor?"
Kao turned around to snap at him
"It's cold"

Pete smiled and got under the duvet and the room went quiet.

He turned towards Kao and stared at the of his head for sometime.
"Kao..."

Kao opened his eyes at the sound. Something about the way Pete called his names made him shiver. He cleared his throat.
"Hmm.."

"Thanks... for letting me stay"

Kao sighed and shifted to lay on back.
"I can't believe I'm saying this to you.... but, I'm kinda glad you're here"

Pete raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything which Kao really appreciated.

Because if he did, Kao wasn't sure what he'd say. He's too good of a liar by now but right now he has no more lies tell.

"The weather is bad" Pete changed the topic.

"I hate it" Kao whispered to himself but Pete heard. He leaned in to have a closer look at Kao's face.

"Wha.... what?" Kao was startled a little but he didn't move.

"For someone scared of the weather, you look extremely calm"

Kao chuckled.
"Did I say I'm scared?"

"You hate rain?"

Kao shook his head.
"Nooo, I love rain, just.... not at night"

Pete knitted his brows.
"I'm confused"

"So? You don't need to know everything"
Kao rolled his eyes.
"And get the hell away from me, go sleep"

"But I want to know"
