“What is that?” Kouga demands, pointing at the tiny grey ball of fluff that is currently curled up in Inuyasha’s lap.
Inuyasha glances over at him with an odd look and answers, “it’s a cat.” He gently strokes a clawed hand down the thing’s back and is answered with a contented purr.
Kouga scowls. He knows what it is, but he doesn’t have to like it.
Out of spite, he asks, “is it dinner?”
Inuyasha flashes him a grimace of disgust and angles his body, and therefore the cat, away. “No way.” He hunches his shoulders down.
“Then why do you have it?”
Inuyasha just shrugs. “I like cats.”
Kouga hmms before saying, “I’m really more of a dog person myself.”
There is silence while Inuyasha processes this and Kouga flushes a deep red. Even the purring has stopped. He cannot believe he just said that. Maybe Inuyasha will think-
Dry lips suddenly touch his in a split-second caress before Inuyasha is leaning away again, cat cradled protectively against his chest and with a matching blush on his face, before Kouga can even widen his eyes in surprise.
“Oh,” he says, and blinks.
“Yeah,” Inuyasha responds. He absently scratches the cat’s head, and the purring begins again in earnest. He suddenly grins, and Kouga grins back before leaning back in for another longer kiss, this one reciprocated. When they part, both smiles are still in place.
Though, Kouga still can’t help but eye the cat suspiciously.
“Are you sure it’s not a demon or something in disguise?”
“Yes, I’m sure.” Inuyasha rolls his eyes, but his smile doesn’t waver.
“Oh.” There is a pause before Kouga wonders aloud, “What are you going to do with it when you fight demons and stuff?”
Inuyasha looks momentarily confused, as he actually hadn’t stopped to consider this before Kouga brought it up. He shrugs, unconcerned. “I guess I’ll just have to think of something.”
