Ok, so.. Happy birthday~ @songofclarity
Here, have a little kitty as a gift 💖
The first time wen ruohan sneaked into sect leader Nie council room outside a meeting he froze on the door in shock. Actually, the shock almost made him shift back in his human form right here ant there, he felt his qi already shift and caught himself fast enough before spilling the best kept secret he ever had.
There was a little fox, bright orange fur, chasing delightedly a fluffy dark tail behind sect leader Nie.
"I'm trying to work here, A-Sang. Can you not--ehy!"
Wen ruohan blinked slowly, watching as nie mingjue gathered the tail in his arms and cradled it close to his chest.
"No biting."
The fox stopped before shifting to human.
"but I'm bored Da-ge."
"so you bite when bored? I thought I taught you better than that. Go hunt if you want to bite so badly."
Nie huaisang whined, a sound that resembled only slightly human, like he was letting his fox form complain, before shifting back and jump out of the window, probably chasing a butterfly or little bird he will soon bring back home.
Nie mingjue sighed, let go of the tail that moved slowly behind him and went back to the papers in front of him.
Uh.
Was he a shifter too? Well, the younger nie certainly was, wen ruohan thought getting closer. Somehow he thought the black tail fascinating too. He wanted... Look, he just wanted to see if it was as soft as it looked like. Nothing more, nothing less. It looked soft, he wanted to check.
"what's with my tail today? It's not a toy, you know?"
As wen ruohan stretched a paw out a hand came down on him, fingers scratching right behind the ears. He froze, paw still midway toward the tail and eyes wide open. That felt... Weirdly good.
"like it?"
He looked up to see nie mingjue smile.
Oh, oh no, don't shift back, that will be embarrassing. Compromising.
"you're a strange cat... - nie mingjue mused quietly, his fingers moving slowly, gentle. - but I'm the last who should say anything, right?"
Damn right he was, wen ruohan thought, slowly moving toward him, jumping on his lap and laying down. From there he would be able to catch whatever thing sect leader Nie was doing. Find some secrets, something to use against him in need. Well, beside the tail he se well hid whenever someone walked inside, and beside his brother being a fox shifter.
Yes, that was the perfect spot to learn more about his enemies.
Best spot indeed.
Best...
He purred.
Wait. No. No, no, come on. No purring. No...
Nie mingjue chuckled and wen ruohan blinked his eyes open. The hand stilled in the back of his neck, he found himself thinking he wanted more, it was just soo good and peaceful and---
"it's hard to follow through a plan when all your cat form wants is scratches behind the ear, isn't it, sect leader?"
Oh.
Oh, no.
