[nekkonoe]

"Well it's kind of what they insisted on." He chuckled tilting the other's chin up to look at his face once again. "If you're afraid I'll go soft or something you can help keep me nice and sharp." Naota smirked brushing a light kiss over soft lips.

He was going to comment on Naota’s group insisting, but soon his chin was grabbed which forced him to look back to the big cat. “You still have no shame, saying things like that out loud,” he grumbled before lips lightly took his in a brief kiss. At least no one was around to see the display. “Alright alright, back up so we can head out.”

[nekkonoe]

" Ribika?" His head tilted displaying his confusion towards the word. "Is there apple flavored juice? Konoe." He repeated it once more deciding then and there that he liked it. "Mine is Sai. What is a Ribika? Are you one?"

“Mhm, that’s what I am, or what my kind are called. You’re… not exactly one, are you?” He asked while moving to get the apple juice that was requested. As the conversation held, he was soon back at the register, juice acquired. “Sai, was it? That’s a cute name.” He grinned while ringing up the total.

[nekkonoe]

"Since you're so eager to go home with me, we'll just order some takeout. Though I'm all for that cake." He grinned as he looked down into eager eyes. "I finally decided to take a little break from work, though." More like the lady at the bounties office refused to give him any more since he'd more than filled his quota the last couple months. "I'm all yours for two weeks."

“I-I never said that, perverted cat...” He cheeks soon flushed with his scowl, quickly turning away back behind the counter. His shift was almost over so he did the quick preparations needed before he could head out, as well as get that cake. “Two weeks? Are you sure it’s alright being off that long?” Not that he was complaining, but was still a lot of time.

[entwinedthreads]

“But I thought you liked them.” Asato said apologetically as he helped Konoe down onto the grass. A sudden worry struck him that maybe he’d done something wrong, again. Especially with how awkward it still was for Konoe to only use one arm. When he was called, though, he sat down next to the other ribika and curled his tail around the male’s waist.

[nekkonoe]

“No! Wait, I mean yes! I do like them and I really appreciate you buying them for me. Sorry, I guess that came out wrong. Thank you, Asato.” As soon as Asato joined him on the soft grass, he moved closer to nuzzle his Touga’s shoulder. A purr joining in to match with his appreciation of the male’s effort. “Here, since you bought them you can have the first bite.” He held up the kuim for Asato, soft grin over his lips.

[nekkonoe]

" Yes~" His tail sways a bit faster. "Nee, you're real right?" A idiotic question, but he believes those like him are basically extinct. "Um, I want to get juice too, and um..what's your name?"

Konoe couldn’t help but grin at the enthusiasm the male showed, the smaller tail waving so fast he wouldn’t be surprised if the boy flew off. “Yes, I’m real. I guess it does seem like there aren’t many Ribika around, huh.” Although he wasn’t quite sure what the other was just yet. “Juice? We have a few flavors to choose from, and my name is Konoe. What’s yours?”

[nekkonoe]

"Just plans to spend the rest of the day with you. Take you out to dinner. Or maybe just order takeout and take you home to play." He smirked resting his hands on Konoe's waist. He'd been away from his kitty too long.

“You mean, you don’t have any work today?” With a tap to the hands at his waist to let go, he turned to fully face the other with curious eyes. Because of Naota’s unpredictable working schedule, it was sometimes hard for them to meet up. “If so, I don’t care either way. I can take a left over cake from here to bring back with us.”

[entwinedthreads]

He could tell Konoe had something else to say about his fur other than how shiny is was. But truth be told, he didn’t feel like pressing the issue just yet. Maybe after they filled their stomachs. “Here. I brought these from the village for you.” He said trying to change the subject. From his bag, he pulled a handful of kuims. “I even used money this time to get them.”

[nekkonoe]

Before he knew it, his hand was filled with ripe kuims, forcing him to use his other arm to keep them from rolling to the ground. “Whoa! I don’t need all of these, we can share one and save the rest for later.” Due to his lack of limb, the exchange was made a little awkward, but after all this time he’s grown more used to it. “Come, sit with me here,” he called out while taking a seat under a shady tree, the clearing giving them a nice view.

[nekkonoe]

"Are those real? Like mine?" He asked once more, his own tail swaying contently. "Your ears." His eyes drifted towards the tail ."It moves!" He exclaimed disregarding the question entirely.

“Oh, my ears? Yes, they’re real, as well as my tail.” He moved his ears up and down for emphasis to the question. It was plain to see that the small other also had certain attributes, and they weren’t fake, if his non-human scent said anything about it. “You have them too, right?”

[nekkonoe]

"Not for too much longer, though, right? Besides, there's no one even in here right now." He pouted resting his chin on Konoe's shoulder. To add to the look, he let his rounded ears and stubby tail shift out into full view. Just because he knew Konoe liked seeing them.

“Yeah, I’ll be off at the hour which is... 15 minutes from now. Why? Have plans?” It was hard to stay upset when Naota was like this, and partly because he let out his ears and tail. Konoe knew why the male hid them, but still, he thought they were nice. 

[nekkonoe]

(Naota) Rubs his hands along Konoe's shoulders and inhales the scent at the nape of his neck. "I knew I smelled something good in here."

His body immediately tensed at the sudden touch, but as soon as he heard the familiar low voice, he relaxed a bit. Though, the annoyed glare over his shoulder was another thing. “Naota... I’m still on shift, you know.”

[nekkonoe]

Stares at the person with complete fascination upon perceiving animistic features like his own. "Are they real?"

Konoe stared back from the other side of the cash register, tail flicking from side to side as the customer before him looked on in awe. “Are what real? And will this complete your purchases?”

[entwinedthreads]

“But Konoe has much prettier fur than me.” Asato insisted with a nuzzle against Konoe’s shoulder. The black cat couldn’t help but be very straightforward about observations such as these. “Are you hungry? We’ve been walking for a while.”

[nekkonoe]

He always felt strange when given such compliments, especially about these kinds of things. “But yours is so sleek and shiny.” And no crooked end, he thought to himself. But he knew Asato wouldn’t let it go, so was for the best to just try and accept it. “Aa, you’re right, lost track of time. There’s a clearing just up ahead, we can stop to eat there.” 

[entwinedthreads]

“You have a flower stuck on your tail.” He said plucking the yellow flower from where it had tangled with Konoe’s fur. Once it was free, he tucked it carefully behind the other cat’s ear. “It looks beautiful against your fur.”

[nekkonoe]

“Eh?” He turned with surprise at the mention, but before he could bring his tail around for inspection, Asato had reached forward to pluck the blossom off. The compliment following the new placement tinted his cheeks red, still taken aback now and then with the black cat’s openness. “But wouldn’t it look better against your fur?”

[entwinedthreads]

Did someone order an adorable floof ball? No? Too bad have one anyways.

[nekkonoe]

Konoe looked back when he noticed that Asato had paused mid step, a grin coming over the male’s lips as he turned to look at something unknown. “Asato? Everything alright?”
