Covering the Bases
Part Fifty-Two - Brats and Kittens

Wolfram - *practically melts/it was so~ cute~!/maybe he hadn't really been serious when he'd asked for a kitten, buy oh my gosh!!!/immediately scoops her up and cuddles her close/she was so cute and fluffy!! and she had the prettiest blue eyes!!/fanboy squeal*

Yuuri - *smiles happily now that Wolfram had his kitten/okay... sleepy time now...*

Wolfram - *hardly notices Yuuri returning to sleepy time/pets the kitty and lifts her up to look into her pretty eyes, nuzzling his cheek against the side of her cute little face/her fur was so soft, and she was so adorable/more fanboy squeals*

Kitty - *thinks she likes this really affectionate person/meows again happily/now if only she could somehow get him to find her something to eat... or drink/some milk would be nice right about now*

Yuuri - *attempts at going back to sleep with the shrill fanboy squeals very close by/not that he minded them at all, it was just a bit sudden to hear*

Wolfram - *cuddles the kitty some more, then can't help himself any longer and starts talking to it like it were a baby* "Hi, there!! Aren't you just the cutest little thing!! Yes, you are!! You're so fluffy and pretty and cuddly and the most adorable thing I've ever seen in my entire life!!"

Kitty - *meows some more/yeah, she liked him/she could already tell she'd be able to get a lot from this guy*

Yuuri - *okay..../gives up on trying to sleep some more and sits up, wrapping his arms around Wolfram from behind, leaning his chin on his shoulder/smiles sleepily* "You like her...?"

Wolfram - *nods excitedly* "Yes! I do!" *turns to kiss him quickly* "Thank you!!" *lifts the kitty closer again and gives her a kiss, too/then he starts to try and think of something to name her*

Yuuri - *smiles a bit more before closing his eyes and cuddling against Wolfram, regardless of sitting instead of laying down/whatever, it was just as comfortable - though, he wasn't really one to complain about things being comfortable or not*

Wolfram - *looks into his kitty's eyes and tries to come up with the perfect name*

Kitty - *looks back at him cutely*

Wolfram - *squeals again* "You're so cute~!"

Yuuri - *well, at least it looked like Wolfram liked his kitten/good... he wasn't about to take her back... she was too cute...*

Wolfram - *turns a little to glance at Yuuri again* "Yuuri, what should we name her??" *not that Yuuri had ever been very much help when it came to picking out names*

Yuuri - *lifts his head a little at the question/was he serious?* "I dunno..."

Wolfram - *pouts at him some/typical/turns back to his kitten* "Fine, then." *so much for asking his opinion/he'd name it whatever he wanted, then* "I'm going to call her Cloe."

Cloe - *meows/apparently she likes it*

Yuuri - *smiles, leaning a bit closer to kiss his neck* "I like it..."

Wolfram - *hardly notices the kiss, too focused on his new pet/talks to her again* "You'll have the very best of everything! We'll have to get you a pretty collar with a cute little bell on it, and a nice, comfy bed, and some toys to play with, and a brush so I can brush your hair..." *pets at her some more*

Yuuri - *pouts a little at the lack of response, but figures Wolfram was just excited about the kitten*

Wolfram - *begins to move away from Yuuri, still holding onto the kitten carefully* "I bet you're hungry, aren't you? Mean Papa Yuuri probably didn't feed you at all when he brought you home last night." *pouts at Cloe playfully, climbing off of the bed* "But that's okay. I bet Mother's already up and making breakfast. We can go right downstairs and ask for some milk, okay?"

Cloe - *meows again at the mention of milk*

Yuuri - *whimpers as Wolfram pulls away from him/waaah!/that was all he got after getting him the kitten...?? what's up with that??*

Wolfram - *heads for the door, starting to hum to the kitten*

Cloe - *cuddles up against him/purs*

Yuuri - *reluctantly gets up to stumble sleepily after him/how early was it, anyway....??/more wah!*

Wolfram - *goes out into the hallway and happily trots down the stairs, carrying his kitten the entire way/once he's downstairs, he begins to search for Yuuri's mother, heading into the kitchen, since he figures that's probably where she was*

Yuuri - *yawns as he follow him/fine... he could be like that... he didn't care...*

Miko - *very happily surprised at the sight of her son and future son-in-law, pulls away from her cup of tea on the counter to greet them* "Good morning, Yuu-chan! Wol-chan! How are-" *stops abruptly at the sight of the kitten, then squeals in excitement, quickly closing the gap between herself and the blond/fangirls* "Oh my goodness! It's soooo cute!!!"

Wolfram - *smiles at her brightly/obviously likes hearing other people call his kitten cute* "Yuuri got her for me." *okay, so that was obvious, but, hey, he was really happy/if he'd known Yuuri would seriously get him things whenever he asked 'do you want me to get you anything' he would have started asking for stuff a lot sooner* "I named her Cloe."

Cloe - *meows cutely at the nice lady*

Miko - *squeals and fangirls more* "She's so precious! Oh! I bet she's hungry! Are you hungry, Clo-chan? Yes?" *turns to the fridge pulling out some milk to pour onto a saucer, sticking it in the microwave to warm it up some, then sets it on the counter for the kitten/more fangirling*

Yuuri - *rubs his head/too... early... for loud squealing...*

Wolfram - *lets Cloe down on the counter near the milk, standing close by to watch her and pet her some* "There, see. I told you Mother would have something yummy for you."

Cloe - *immediately starts to lap at the milk/and boy, was it yummy!*

Miko - *melts*

Yuuri - *rolls his eyes/yeah, she was cute... but was she really worth all the fuss- ... okay, maybe she was worth it.../kittttyyy~~*

Wolfram - *continues to pet the kitty, turning a bit to smile at Yuuri some more* "She's perfect. I love her."

Cloe - *dang right, she was perfect*

Yuuri - *smiles back at him, absorbing the attention he got like a sponge/had a feeling that, with the kitten around, he wouldn't be getting as much attention from Wolfram any more.../waaaahhh...*

Miko - *fangirls some more before remembering her job as a mother* "Oh! Are you hungry?" *just a bit of a flake...*

Wolfram - *turns his smile to Miko/nods lightly* "A little."

Cloe - *too absorbed in her milk to care what the people were talking about*

Yuuri - *nods as well/too tired to really say anything*

Miko - *claps her hands together, giggling some as she quickly got to work making them a bunch of pancakes/digging out some fruit from the 'fridge as well to cut up and toss into a bowl/puts on a pot of curry too/just kidding, she really could make more than just curry... it wasn't her fault it was her favorite to make!*

Wolfram - *goes back to watching and petting his kitty, humming to her quietly*

Cloe - *laps at the milk some more*

Shori - *enters the house, wearing the same clothes he'd had on yesterday/looks kinda sleepy as he shoves his keys into one of his pockets/goes into the kitchen for a cup of coffee, but stops when he sees Yuuri and Wolfram already in there with his mother/is still a bit bitter about the previous night, but finds himself more curious as to what they were doing out of bed so early/thought they slept later than this* "What are you doing up?"

Miko - *smiles brightly at Shori as he came in* "Morning, Sho-chan! Do you want pancakes, too?"

Yuuri - *really too tired to remember anything that happened the previous day/absentmindedly steps closer to his brother to rest his head against his shoulder, closing his eyes as well/mumbles something about not wanting to be up*

Shori - *looks at Yuuri oddly - and still a bit bitterly - but stops himself from shrugging his head off of his shoulder/really? from fighting to cuddling?* "What do you want?"

Wolfram - *oblivious, paying too much attention to Cloe*

Yuuri - *hey, he loves his brother! he... just gets annoyed with him when he's being too over protective and saying that he's too young to be doing anything/mumbles, too sleepy to string together a decent sentence* "Want... sleep..."

Miko - *flips a pancake, humming happily to herself*

Shori - *rolls his eyes* "If you're so tired, why the hell did you get out of bed?"

Miko - *turns to frown at her eldest* "Sho-chan! Language!"

Yuuri - *really doesn't know what he's doing at the moment/lifts a hand to cling lightly to his brother's shirt… and to keep himself from falling over/mumbles again* "Cat... getting attention... want..." *yeah, he wanted attention from Wolfram too... just because the kitten was so bloody cute didn't mean he was going to let himself be completely ignored!*

Shori - *looks at him oddly/more than a little weirded out by his sudden clingyness/Yuuri hadn't been clingy like this in, like, years* "What cat?"

Wolfram - *continues happily petting Cloe, watching her finish the saucer of warm milk*

Cloe - drinks all there is in the bowl, a little miffed that the guy with the comfy hair who'd brought her here last night hadn't gotten her any of this stuff*

Miko - *starts to dish out some pancakes onto a plate for each of the boys, still humming happily to herself/really glad they seemed to be getting along so far today*

Yuuri - *feels a bit dizzy from standing for so long, as well as from the bright lights/subconsciously buries his face more into his older brother's shoulder/mumbles out a response* "Wolf... wanted... so I got... name Cloe..." *now would be a great time to go back to bed and sleep for... ohh... about five more hours.../too bad he would rather get attention than sleep*

Shori - *continues to look at him oddly* "You bought him a cat??" *who the hell just goes out randomly and buys their fiancé a cat??/apparently Yuuri did.../didn't he just buy the kid a ring??/rolls his eyes again and lifts a hand to rub at his face/was beginning to think that pleasing Wolfram was going to be expensive... and guess who's money would be paying for it as long as they were here.../joy.../lowers his hand to look around the kitchen a bit, though remaining in place and allowing Yuuri to cuddle some more - as odd as it was/it seemed he wasn't the only one in desperate need of some coffee**

Miko - *takes the empty dish from the kitten and pours a little more milk on it, heating it up again before placing it back down in front of her as she finished getting breakfast ready*

Yuuri - *grumbles lightly to himself about... well... it wasn't really clear because he suddenly stops in the middle and pulls back from Shori to lean up against the counter/apparently just realized what he was doing and had flushed a nice pink/mumbles, rubbing his face a bit* "Sorry..."

Shori - *shrugs, but as soon as Yuuri steps away from him, he goes about fixing some coffee for the both of them*

Cloe - *immediately starts to lap at more of the milk the nice lady had given to her*

Wolfram - *giggles a little bit at his kitty/she was so cute!!*

Yuuri - *pouts hazily at Wolfram/absolutely no attention.../fine...* "Need any help, mom...?" *oohh... that was a bit better*

Miko - *places a couple of plates into Yuuri's hands to take out to the table/smile smile happy happy* "Come back and get some more after you set them down, okay?"

Yuuri - *nods dully and goes to do what he was told, though having to pause after a few steps to make sure he didn't run into the door as he stumbled along*

Wolfram - *doesn't notice Yuuri's stumbling or tiredness at all/if he did, he probably would have felt a little bad/... oh well...*

Shori - *gives Wolfram an odd look, too/shakes his head and rolls his eyes at him/what, his little brother practically bended over backwards for the brat, and he hardly paid attention to him at all??/frowns at the blond, then moves over to where he was standing to get a little at the kitten he seemed so fascinated with/watches it drink for a minute before picking it up by the scruff of the neck, bringing it up to get a closer look*

Wolfram - *gapes at Shori and immediately tries to get his kitty back* "Hey!!"

Shori - *holds the tiny thing out of Wolfram's reach, inspecting it*

Miko - *turns to watch what her son was doing to get such a response from Wolfram/places her hands on her hips, but doesn't say anything*

Yuuri - *stumbles a bit on his way back to the kitchen, holding onto the wall and then counter for support/blinks hazily at Shori, confused at what was going on/why was he holding the little kitten by the scruff of her neck, anyway??/still sleepily* "What are you doing...?"

Shori - "I'm looking at the cat." *gosh, they acted like he was hurting it or something/stares at the thing some more/it figures a snotty little brat like Wolfram would want a cat like this/it would most likely be excessively pampered*

Wolfram - *frowns up at Shori, watching him carefully to make sure he didn't do anything to hurt poor Cloe* "Give her back..."

Cloe - *merely looks at the man holding her, staring at him curiously*

Yuuri - *mumbles, obviously believing his brother, especially in his half-sleep state* "Oh... okay..." *he wouldn't do anything to hurt a cute little kitten, anyway.../holds out his hands for his mom to pass him more things to carry and goes to place some more stuff on the table*

Wolfram - *glares after Yuuri a little, watching him go off again/that's it? he was just going to let his brother treat his poor, sweet, innocent little kitty like this??/glares at Shori now, trying to reach for Cloe again* "Give her back."

Shori - *keeps her out of his reach, looking down at him with a raised eyebrow* "I'm not hurting her."

Wolfram - *frowns some more* "I don't care; give her back.*

Yuuri - *comes back again to get more things/yawns, quickly covering his mouth with the back of his hand before trying to get around his brother and Wolfram without stumbling into him/maybe he shouldn't have had that coffee last night... or maybe he just needed a lot more sleep.../ends up stumbling a little into Wolfram/mumbles quickly before holding his hands out for more things to carry* "Sorry..."

Wolfram - *turns his frown towards Yuuri/the wimp obviously wasn't paying attention to what was going on at all* "Yuuri, make him give Cloe back."

Shori - *still inspecting the cat that had most likely been bought with his money, so, if you wanted to get technical, it was partly his, too/snorts at Wolfram's demand* "Don't fret, princess, I'll give her back to you soon enough."

Yuuri - "Hmm..." *yawns lightly again, but nods to Wolfram* "Sho-chan... could you give Cloe back to him, please...?" *he was too sleepy to make anyone do anything*

Shori - *shrugs at him* "I will when I'm done." *repeats himself, not really liking how Wolfram was acting as if he were some sort of a bad guy, coming to steal his precious kitten away* "I'm not hurting her."

Yuuri - *repeats back to Wolfram since apparently he couldn't hear what Shori said himself* "He'll give her back when he's done... he's not hurting her..." *just a little tired...*

Wolfram - *gapes at the both of them* "Yuuri..." *this was so not fair*

Shori - *almost laughs, but manages to stop himself/is somewhat pleased that the blond isn't getting what he wants at the moment*

Yuuri - *blinks at him/confused* "What...?"

Wolfram - *narrows his eyes at him/was he even paying any attention at all* "I want her back."

Yuuri - *nods dimly* "He'll give her back when he's done..."

Miko - *passes Yuuri the bowl of fruit to carry out*

Wolfram - *narrows his eyes even more/obviously he hadn't gotten his point across* "I want her back now."

Shori - *still trying to keep himself from laughing*

Cloe - *doesn't really care who's holding her, though she is a little annoyed that she'd been taken away from her milk*

Yuuri - *nods again, though turns away to go take the fruit out to the table/maybe he'd just lay down on the couch for a bit...*

Wolfram - *his face goes red in anger/what the hell?!/turns back to Shori once more, still glaring darkly* "Give her back!"

Shori - *snorts at him* "No. My money paid for her, so I can look at her for as long as I want."

Wolfram - "She's mine."

Shori - *raises his eyebrow at him again* "Does it look like I care?"

Miko - *keeping to herself/actually, she was too distracted by the shiny thing she used to flip the pancakes with*

Yuuri - *decides to go back to the kitchen, after all/wonders vaguely why Wolfram didn't look very happy/dumbly asks* "Wolf...? What's wrong...?" *moron*

Wolfram - *stomps his foot, glaring at Yuuri some more/was the wimp completely oblivious to what was going on?!/hadn't he been listening to what he was saying?!* "He won't give Cloe back!!"

Yuuri - *glances from Wolfram to his brother and then to the kitten/pleading* "Sho-chan...? Can you please give her back to him...?"

Shori - *rolls his eyes once more* "Who's money did you buy her with?"

Yuuri - *mumbles, still sleepy* "I can pay you back..."

Shori - *didn't really expect him to, nor would he accept it if he tried to* "Until you do, I think I have as much right to her as he does..." *plus, it was fun to mess with the little brat*

Yuuri - *tries to frown a bit at his brother, but ends up pouting* "Please...?" *he hated it when Wolfram was upset, after all*

Shori - *shrugs again, continuing to hold the cat away from the blond, though being careful with it/he wasn't heartless, and the thing was actually pretty cute* "Why should I...?"

Yuuri - *pouts more unintentionally* "Because I asked you...?"

Shori - "I don't think that's a very good answer..." *brings to kitten down a bit to cuddle it*

Cloe - *nuzzles against his touch/she liked to be petted*

Wolfram - *glares even more/this wasn't fair at all!/was slowly becoming more angry*

Yuuri - *whimpers lightly, not really liking to have to deal with all this before he'd had a chance to at least eat something/ends up sitting in the middle of the kitchen floor, rubbing at his head some to try and get himself to wake up more/this was ridiculous...*

Wolfram - *frowns down at Yuuri/is slightly concerned, but is more angry than anything else* "Yuuri, make him give her back..." *what was it about that that he didn't understand??*

Shori - *glares at Wolfram, and ends up giving the cat back to him sooner than he'd intended, but only because Yuuri didn't seem to be feeling well at the moment and he didn't want to make things worse for him/wonders how late he was up searching for the thing* "Don't be a brat..."

Wolfram - *snatches Cloe from him and holds her close, petting and kissing her and making sure she was really okay/stupid Shori...*

Yuuri - *smiles thankfully up at his brother, though not moving from his spot on the floor* "Thanks, Sho-chan..." *really didn't want to have to deal with an angry Wolfram so early in the morning/he really did swing moods faster than most women...*

Miko - *comes around from being distracted and gazes curiously down at her son on the floor* "Yuu-chan, you shouldn't be sitting on the floor, you know... people walk on the floor..." *duh/but hey...*

Shori - *snorts at his mother's comment, moving around Yuuri to get two mugs, going back to fixing some coffee/Yuuri seriously needed to wake up/grumbles to him, watching Wolfram coddle his cat out of the corner of his eye* "Your fiancé is way too high maintenance, not to mention spoiled as hell. You need to learn how to put your foot down, or he's going to end up costing you a lot of money..." *more than that, he was going to end up costing him a lot of money, as well...*

Wolfram - *glares at Shori some more, setting Cloe back onto the counter to let her finish drinking her milk*

Yuuri - "Hmm..." *yawns once more, pulling up his knees to rest his head on/why the heck was he so tired, anyway?? maybe he was just moving around too quickly without waking up properly first...*

Shori - *wow... nice response, there, Yuu-chan/nudges him a little with his foot* "Get up. I have coffee."

Yuuri - "Coffee~...." *cheers half heartedly as he pushes himself off the ground, cupping his hands together for Shori to give him a mug or something*

Shori - *smiles at him a little and hands him the mug, though taking the time to make sure he didn't drop it or anything/poor kid looked exhausted*

Wolfram - *pets at Cloe some more/pouts over the fact that Yuuri hadn't tried very hard to get Shori to give her back to him/what the heck was his problem this morning??*

Yuuri - *carefully takes he coffee from his brother, bringing it closer to sip at/grins tiredly at him* "Thanks, Sho-chan..." *he was tired! that was his problem! wah!*

Miko - *ends up taking the rest of the food out to the table herself* "Boys! Food!"

Wolfram - "Hmph!" *fine, if Yuuri wanted to be like that.../scoops Cloe back up once she was done, taking her with him as he followed Miko and sat himself down at the table, making sure the kitty was safe in his lap*

Shori - *rolls his eyes at Wolfram again, going out to sit at the table as well/jeez, that kid was as handful/how could Yuuri stand it??*

Yuuri - *follows them out to sit too, still sipping a bit at his coffee/yay~ coffee~*

Wolfram - *pets Cloe*

Yuuri - *tries to wake up more/sips his coffee*

Shori - *sips at his coffee also*

Wolfram - *ignores them*

Miko - *sits at the table next to her eldest, picking some of the fruit from the bowl to place on her plate/smiles happily from one son to the other* "It's so nice to have everyone get along!"

Yuuri - *stops sipping his coffee/suddenly remembering the drama the evening before/promptly sinks lower in his seat, flushing lightly/oh... that... he'd forgotten about that.../it's great when he doesn't think about things...*

Shori - *merely snorts, not bothering to make mention of it or further elaborate on the event/it was done and over with - no use going back and rehashing everything now/plus, Yuuri seemed to forgive him, and he couldn't really blame Yuuri for reacting the way he did, so there really wasn't any point in continuing to make a big deal out of it/that didn't mean he approved of what Yuuri was doing with this whole baby business, but he wasn't about to say anything else and chance getting beaten up by his little brother again - it was a major blow to his ego*

Miko - *giggles lightly, munching on some banana slices, making sure to swallow before pouting at the boys* "Sho-chan! Yuu-chan! Wol-chan! Eat your food before it gets cold!" *maybe they really did only like her curry... hmmm... maybe she should make some for breakfast...*

Yuuri - *tries not to make much eye contact with his brother, still feeling really bad about what he'd done/though when he did accidentally make eye contact, his blush turned a few shades darker/quickly starts to work on pouring syrup onto his pancakes, not wanting his mom to get up and start making them curry, or something...*

Shori - *doesn't bother pointing out the fact that Yuuri was blushing or whatever/now that he'd had the time to cool down, he thought the whole thing was actually pretty ridiculous, but whatever/grabs the syrup bottle from Yuuri to soak his own pancakes with the sticky substance, beginning to eat*

Wolfram - *sits there and pets Cloe for a while before starting to slowly eat, still more than a little miffed/doesn't bother with the syrup and eats his pancakes plain, munching on some of the fruit, too*

Cloe - *cuddles in Wolfram's lap/purrs*

Miko - *munches a little more/giggles again* "So what's on the schedule for today? Any more shopping, or just laying around the house?" *would love an excuse to go shopping/not like she couldn't just go shopping anyway...*

Yuuri - *shrugs/he didn't know... he was still waiting for the caffeine to kick in...*

Shori - *shrugs as well/really, he should be working, but after spending the night out he didn't particularly feel like it at the moment/didn't think Bob would have too much of a problem giving him the day off - the old man was probably having fun in the "African Interior" anyway*

Wolfram - *wants to play with his kitty*

Miko - *pouts a little/so did that mean no shopping...?/picks more at the fruit on her plate*

Yuuri - *quickly finishes up his pancakes, feeling more awake now that he'd actually had something to eat/that, and the caffeine from the coffee was working/pouts a little Wolfram's way, though not wanting to bother him from playing with his kitty/at least he liked the kitty, right? it was really cute, after all... yeah...*

Wolfram - *continues to pick at his food, occassionally reaching down to pet at Cloe/notices Yuuri's pout out of the corner of his eye, but doesn't say anything to him/stupid wimp hadn't gotten stupid Shori to give poor little Cloe back to him earlier like he'd asked him to/looks up at Miko, pointedly ignoring his fiancé, and making it apparent that he was doing so/maybe next time he asked - or told - him to do something, he'd actually do it* "What did you want to do today, Mother...?"

Miko - "Let's go shopping!" *practically jumps at the idea* "All four of us!"

Yuuri - *chokes on his coffee*

Shori - *uhh... on second thought...* "I have work to do. Bob wouldn't like it if I got behind..."

Wolfram - *smiles at her, because even though he was a little annoyed at Yuuri, he couldn't ever be mad at his mother* "Okay..." *looks down at his kitty then, and pouts* "What about Cloe...?"

Miko - *clings to Shori's arm* "Oh, come on! It's healthy to play hooky every now and then! Live a little, Sho-chan!" *still clinging as she turns back to Wolfram/beams happily* "Bring Cloe-chan with us!"

Yuuri - *maybe if he tired to sneak up to his room... they wouldn't notice him....*

Shori - *cringes a bit as his mother clings to him/would rather be in the "African Interior" surrounded by hundreds of screaming kids than go shopping with her for even an hour* "I don't think Bob would appreciate that very much..." *actually, he'd probably laugh at him if he heard his mother was trying to get him to go shopping with her, and then give him the day off so he could laugh at him some more*

Wolfram - *feels a little better at the thought of being able to bring Cloe/he didn't want to leave the poor little thing here all by herself*

Miko - *pats Shori's shoulder in comfort* "You work too hard! Besides, you never go shopping with Mama any more, Sho-chan!" *smiles, excited* "You're driving, right, Sho-chan? I want to ride in the front!" *his car was pretty~*

Yuuri - *downs the rest of his coffee, wondering if he should get seconds*

Shori - "Uuhhh... Mom... I really can't..." *how to get out of this?/crap, why the heck did the stupid blond brat have to ask her what she wanted to do??/now she was having fantasies of shopping with her sons and her annoying son-in-law*

Wolfram - *strokes at Cloe's fur some more/doesn't really care what they end up doing, so long as it gives him a good opportunity to ignore Yuuri and teach the wimp a lesson*

Cloe - *continues to purr*

Miko - "Nonsense! Come on! Help me bring everything back to the kitchen! I'll clean it all up when we get back!" *tugs at Shori's arm to get him to stand and help her/the sooner they finished, the sooner they could go shopping/yay~ shopping~*

Yuuri - *pouts/doesn't really care where they go as long as Wolfram stops ignoring him so much!/wah!*

Shori - *groans as his mother pretty much drags him out/it seemed there wasn't going to be any way to get out of this... yet.../maybe he could pretend to go to the bathroom at one of the stores she'd drag them to, and then leave them all there and make his escape*

Wolfram - *sits at the table, petting his kitty and keeping himself silent*

Yuuri - *pouts at Wolfram once the other two had left the room* "Wolf...?"

Wolfram - *continues to ignore him, picking up Cloe to cuddle her against his chest*

Yuuri - *pouts more, getting up to help his mom and brother clear the table/grumbles about cats and driving around in the middle of the night to find them*

Wolfram - *just keeps petting his cat, hardly concerned*

Miko - *finishes clearing off the table/continues to drag Shori around, pulling him to the door now to get their winter coats and shoes on* "Come on, Yuu-chan! Wol-chan! If we hurry, we can still get all the early morning sales!" *so very excited about going shopping*

Yuuri - *already back downstairs, having gone back up to get dressed and get his wallet/had set out some clothes for Wolfram as well, even though he was being ignored...*

Shori - *lets his mother drag him around, resigning himself to the fact that he'd at least have to go along with them for a little while, though he continues to plot his eventual escape*

Wolfram - *finally removes himself from the table, taking Cloe with him, intent on changing out of the pajamas he was wearing and into some clothes/casually brushes passed Yuuri, making sure to bump into him a little before sticking his nose in the air and continuing on his way* "Hmph!"

Yuuri - *grumbles under his breath after he bumped into him on his way up the stairs* "Brat..."

Wolfram - *snorts a bit, but otherwise doesn't respond/he'd have to do more than spout off familiar - and most of the times affectionate - insults if he wanted some attention*

Shori - *shakes his head at them and wonders what it is exactly that Yuuri finds so attractive about such a spoiled brat*

Yuuri - *decides he's too tired to care if he got attention/goes over to get his coat and other things on/pouts still*

Miko - *makes sure her sons were bundled up nice and warm/ties a scarf tightly around Shori's neck, giggling a bit/well... she did love to dress them up...*

Shori - *rolls his eyes at her/oh my gosh, this was going to be annoying, he was sure of it/shopping with Mom was the bane of his existence*

Wolfram - *goes up the stairs to get changed, coming back down once he was done, still carrying Cloe with him/moves over the join the others by the front door*

Yuuri - *had fished out an extra coat from the closet, moving to help Wolfram get it on*

Wolfram - *turns his nose up at him again, but doesn't prevent him from helping him*

Yuuri - *rolls his eyes at him/moves his hands to dig lightly into his sides to tickle him*

Wolfram - *squeaks loudly, yanking himself away from him, holding Cloe close so he wouldn't accidentally drop her/glares at Yuuri darkly/first he doesn't do what he asks of him and now he tries to tickle him?! did the wimp want to be ignored all day??*

Yuuri - *lifts a hand to poke him on the nose* "Don't be like that..."

Wolfram - *smacks his hand away*

Yuuri - *rolls his eyes* "Sit down..." *kneels down to help him get on the extra pair of his mom's shoes she had*

Wolfram - *glares at him some more, frowning* "Don't tell me what to do..."

Yuuri - *stares up at him with an eyebrow raised/what the heck...?*

Wolfram - *looks back down at him, his eyes still narrowed/doesn't move to sit down*

Shori - *rolls his eyes and groans/this kid was completely ridiculous*

Yuuri - *sighs a bit* "Wolf... stop being so difficult... I'm just trying to help..."

Wolfram - *grumbles about how he didn't help earlier when he asked him to*

Yuuri - *sputters lightly/was he serious??* "Wolf... come on... really..." *that, and he had been only half awake anyway...*

Miko - *dancing a little in place, too distracted with the thoughts of shopping and dressing her boys, including Wolfram, up in pretty little outfits to pay much attention to what was going on*

Wolfram - *what, did Yuuri think he was just going to drop it?? please… the wimp should know him better than that by now/sticks his nose in the air again in typical 'look at me, I'm a spoiled brat' fashion*

Shori - *has to try really hard to prevent himself from saying anything*

Cloe - *completely oblivious to what was going on, purring and cuddling*

Yuuri - "Wolf..." *really... he didn't have to be so difficult* "Fine... I'll be out in the car..." *Wolfram could figure out how to get his shoes on by himself then/not really in the mood to put up with being ignored so much/gets up to turn to the door*

Wolfram - *gapes at him/that stupid jerk!! how dare he?!?!*

Shori - *snickers/ten points for Yuu-chan*

Yuuri - *okay, maybe he wouldn't have done that if he'd been completely awake... but whatever.../grumbles more, pulling the door open to head out to the car/wait... why was he going with them, anyway...? shouldn't he just stay home...?/ er... no... he didn't dare leave Wolfram by himself on Earth, especially somewhere he didn't know... he wasn't that stupid...*

Miko - *follows her son out, obviously thinking it was time to go/yay~ shopping~*

Wolfram - *gapes after the both of them/well... there went his plan of getting some of Miko's sympathy - it just walked right out the door*

Shori - *snickers some more and leaves him there as well*

Cloe - *cuddles against Wolfram/vaguely wonders where everyone else was going, but doesn't really care as long as she's being held*

Wolfram - *stands there and pouts/feels dejected*

Yuuri - *doesn't bother go all the way to the car/stands out in the cold with his arms crossed over his chest, staring at the front door, and waiting for Wolfram to get his shoes on and hurry up*

Wolfram - *stands there for a little while longer/eventually looks down at the shoes he's supposed to be wearing, but has no clue how to put them on/maybe he should have paid more attention to Yuuri when he'd put them on for him the other day/sits down on the floor with Cloe, holding her close/feels melancholy/sniffles a little, and is a bit annoyed with himself when he feels his eyes sting/doesn't think he really has anything to cry about, but he can't seem to stop himself/stupid hormones...*

Yuuri - *starts to worry when Wolfram didn't come out in the time he was expecting him to/cautiously moves back to the door, opening it just a bit to peer inside* "Wolf...?"

Wolfram - *wipes at his face with one hand, still holding onto Cloe with the other* "Leave me alone!"

Yuuri - *panics a bit, slipping back into the house to kneel on the floor in front of the blond/watches him worriedly* "Wolf..?? What's wrong...??"

Wolfram - *pulls away from him* "Shut up! I don't wanna talk to you!" *he was still mad at him, after all*

Yuuri - *watches him for a bit more before moving closer* "Hey... did you want me to help you...?" *thinks it's the shoes that were bothering him/probably shouldn't have left him to figure it out for himself*

Wolfram - *shakes his head, backing up a little more* "No! Go away! I don't want to talk to you, or look at you, or anything!"

Yuuri - *moves closer, sitting next to him and wrapping his arm around his back before he could object, pulling him back to him/quietly* "What's wrong...?"

Wolfram - *yanks himself away from him, not in the mood to be held at the moment* "Leave me alone!"

Yuuri - *doesn't let him move too far away, but loosens his hold around him a bit/what the heck did he do...??* "No... "

Wolfram - *turns away from him, intent on trying to ignore him again*

Yuuri - *sighs, moving a hand to pet at Cloe/she really was cute...*

Wolfram - *pulls Cloe away from him, keeping her all to himself*

Yuuri - *raises an eyebrow at him/yawns a little, still tired even though he was more awake than before* "Wolf... please... don't act like such a spoiled child... "

Wolfram - *ooooh, yeah, that probably wasn't the best thing to say at the moment, Yuuri/moves away from him a little more and keeps his back turned towards him, still seated on the ground*

Yuuri - *lays down on the floor, closing his eyes for a bit/crap... he really shouldn't be talking when he was tired... especially when he couldn't really think properly at the moment/mumbles* "Sorry... I didn't mean it..." *really... it was his fault for making Wolfram so spoiled, anyway... why would he have something against it...?/opens his eyes to watch his back* "Wolf... will you please tell me what's bothering you...?"

Wolfram - "No..." *stupid wimp should learn when to just shut the heck up* "Go away..."

Yuuri - *doesn't really want to leave him now/just as stubborn* "No..."

Wolfram - *huffs, wiping at his face again before standing up and heading for the stairs*

Yuuri - *watches him with wide eyes/what the heck??/quickly kicks off his shoes and jumps up to follow him, catching him around the waist before he could get too far, though being careful not to grab Cloe by mistake/getting rather frustrated for not knowing what the heck was going on* "Wolfram! What did I do??"

Wolfram - *uses all of the strength he has to rip himself away from him* "Go away! Leave me alone!" *runs up the stairs with Cloe, entering Yuuri's room and slamming the door behind him/makes sure to lock it*

Yuuri - *sputters, following after him/makes an attempt at opening his door, but it was, indeed locked/swears under his breath, sitting down against the door/great... just great...*

Wolfram - *sits himself on Yuuri's bed and cries a little, cuddling Cloe close and petting at her soft fur*

Cloe - *meows at him/can tell that something was wrong*

Yuuri - *feels his heart ache a little, especially when he thinks he can hear Wolfram crying/jeez! he's such a jerk! poor Wolfram! wah!*

Shori - *was getting a little annoyed at listening to his mother gush about the stores she wanted to go to and all the crap she wanted to buy/eventually goes back inside to figure out what the heck is taking Yuuri and Wolfram so long - if he had to go shopping with his mom, then he sure as heck was not going to go alone/takes his shoes off when he doesn't see either of the two at the front entry way, and goes up the stairs to find Yuuri out by his door/stares down at him, confused* "What are you doing out here?"

Yuuri - *frowns sadly up at his brother, then lays down on his side next to the door/felt completely miserable when he knew Wolfram was miserable, like always*

Shori - *frowns a little, then lightly nudges him with his foot* "Get up. I'm not going shopping with her by myself." *he'd drag him out if he had to*

Yuuri - *grumbles poutily, all but ignoring his brother* "No... I'm not leaving Wolfram..."

Shori - *rolls his eyes* "Don't be a pansy. Let him throw his tantrum; he'll be fine when you get back." *wonders again what Yuuri found so attractive about the brat/sure, he was pretty, but it really wasn't worth all the trouble, in his opinion*

Yuuri - *shakes his head, refusing to move from his spot/no! he was going to wait for him!*

Shori - *scowls a bit/what, did Wolfram have him on a leash or something?/leans down to grab onto his arm and pull him up a bit* "What did I tell you earlier about putting your foot down...?"

Yuuri - *shrugs, but lets his brother pull him up, not really in the mood for fighting with him*

Shori - *is a little relieved that he wasn't really fighting against him/pulls him up the rest of the way and begins to lead him to the stairs* "You're not leaving me alone with her. There's just no way..." *grumbles something about how he needed to teach Wolfram a lesson anyway*

Yuuri - *glances sadly over his shoulder as his brother lead him down the stairs/maybe Wolfram just needed some time alone... - er... like he'd been saying... /though, once downstairs, he pulls away from Shori to make his way into the kitchen, ripping off one of the little blank 'to do' papers from the fridge and scribbles a little note on it before running it back upstairs and sliding it under his bedroom door* - Wolfram, I'm sorry for being such a jerk. Please forgive me...? I love you. I'll be back sooner than you know. Love, Yuuri - *sulks back downstairs to shove his feet into his shoes and head out the door before Shori dragged him out by the ear*

Wolfram - *sniffles a little on the bed for a while longer, keeping Cloe with him/eventually gets up to inspect the note Yuuri had slid under the door once he's sure the wimp was really gone and pouts a little, guilty/gosh, now he just felt like crap/why did Yuuri always have to say or do sweet things when he was having a selfish moment??/puts the note on Yuuri's desk, intent on keeping it, before exiting the room and going back downstairs, Cloe still carefully held against him/looks around a bit, wondering if Yuuri had really left, and is a bit disappointed to find that he had/pouts even more, and his shoulders slump/what was he supposed to do now?? what, did Yuuri just expect him to just sit here and wait for him or whatever??/after walking around the house for a little while and trying to find some way to pass the time, he goes towards the door, opening it just a crack to peek outside/frowns when he doesn't see Yuuri, or Shori, or Miko anywhere/they really had left him here all by himself/goes back to the shoes that had been left out for him earlier, putting them on to the best of his abilities, though he didn't think he'd fastened them right, before opening the door again and cautiously stepping outside, taking the kitty with him/looks around out there some as well, though he doesn't dare go into the street - Earth's modes of transportation looked way too dangerous for him to feel brave enough to do something like that/follows one of the little white walkways on the side of the street instead, looking around a bit, as if doing so would help him find Yuuri*

Yuuri - *finally, after what seemed like hours and hours of shopping, they make it back to the house alive/heck, if Shori hadn't been there, then he probably would have died of boredom/Shori seemed to like it even less than he had, but his mom seemed so excited about it, they couldn't just leave her/and it wasn't as though he was home very often... might as well let her have some fun... or whatever... /was really glad that she'd at least let him try on clothes by himself/had also stopped by the pet store to get food and a few toys for Cloe, feeling rather bad for having forgotten about that before/maybe he really wasn't ready for a baby... /great.../drops the bags in the front hall, except for the one with the toys, and makes his way up the stairs, two at a time* "Wolf...?" *pushes the half open door the rest of the way/feels the color drain from his face easily noting Wolfram wasn't there/heart starts to pace a bit more rapidly as he made a quick sweep of the room before running back downstairs again/calls loud enough to be heard through the house, just incase he was over reacting, though he knows he probably looks completely horrified* "Wolf??"

Shori - *had been putting some bags of crap that his mother had insisted on buying away when he hears Yuuri shouting for his fiancé/goes out to see what the problem was, slightly annoyed* "What is it now?" *yeah, the kid was way more trouble than he was worth, that was for sure*

Yuuri - *face completely white with panic/moves quickly over to his brother, gripping at the collar of the coat he still had on as if that would get him to pay more attention to him/voice cracks a bit* "He's gone! He's not here!"

Shori - *stares at him, a little surprised* "What?" *he was gone?/hadn't thought the brat was actually stupid enough to go off on his own, but apparently he'd been wrong/well, crap...*

Yuuri - *quickly lets go of his brother without another word and runs out to the front door, his heart sprinting along with him/where the hell could Wolfram have gone?! hadn't he been told not to leave his's sight?? didn't he know how hard it would be to find him if he'd gone too far?? didn't he know it was below freezing outside?!/panics even more, quickly shoving his feet back into his shoes, having a bit of difficulty in tying them properly in his haste*

Shori - *wonders if he should be a good brother and help him or whatever/Wolfram was a bit on the annoying side, but he supposed he'd feel a little bad if something happened to the kid, especially since it had sort of been his fault that he was gone now, considering he'd pulled Yuuri away/sighs to himself and follows Yuuri to the door*

Miko - *steps into the house with the last of the bags she'd bought and blinks confusedly at her sons* "You want to go shopping again?" *not that she minded - she could shop all day*

Yuuri - *sputters in his panic up at his mom* "Wolfram's gone, mom! He's nowhere in the house!" *jumps up, grabbing his coat and quickly pulling it on before pushing past his mom out the door*

Shori - *uh, yeah, he'd totally take looking for the little blond brat over shopping any day* "We'll be back..." *hopefully later rather than sooner, just so she couldn't force them to do anything else unpleasant - of course, being back later would also imply that it took them a good bit of time to find his brother's fiance/hopes the kid had enough sense not to go to far, and not to talk to anyone who looked suspicious, and not to walk out in the street, and not to accept rides from strangers, and all those other things Earth parents warn their kids of*

Miko - *stares at them in horror, quickly dropping the bags* "I'll help, too!"

Yuuri - *spins around on the front walk at his mom's voice, though still moving towards the street - just backwards now* "No, mom! Someone needs to stay here incase he finds his way back!" *eyes Shori, a little surprised that he was going to help, but nods* "Thanks, uhh..." *pauses to point out different directions on the street* "I'll head that way - you take your car and go that way... I didn't see him on the way back to the house, so try the west street and loop around. I don't think he would have gone very far." *please, please.... please not have gone very far... please let him be okay...*

Shori - *shrugs in reply and does what he's told, climbing into his car and pulling out to begin his search/fun fun... not...*

Miko - *waves her sons off and goes to sit by the window to keep a look out incase Wolfram really did find his way back*

Yuuri - *sprints off down the street, shouting for the blond at the top of his voice, really hoping that he would be able to hear him/really, really worried/Wolfram was all alone in a strange world with strange customs and strange things/would never forgive himself if Wolfram ended up in danger or seriously injured*

Wolfram - *well... he wasn't in danger, and he wasn't exactly seriously hurt, but he was alone, and cold, and just the slightest bit scared/he'd walked around for a little while, hoping to find Yuuri or whatever - though he would now admit that that had probably been a very stupid idea to begin with - before turning around to go back to the house/the only problem with that had been that he'd gone a little farther than he thought he had, so he had no idea how to get back - all of the houses looked way to similar for him to pick out anything familiar/so he'd decided the best course of action would be to stay right where he was, excpet that had been in the middle of the little white walkway on the side of the street, and standing there got a little bit tiring after a while, so he waited until there was absolutely no sign of any of those dangerous looking car things before crossing the street itself, going to the other side/it was here that he accidentally tripped on a bit of snow and ice/his right ankle twisted a bit as he did so, only to twinge in pain when he stood up again - luckily, Cloe was okay/he managed to make his way into a little area with a bunch of weird looking metal things, and limped lightly over to something that looked like a swing/he sat down, tired of standing and walking, and wanting to get off of his ankle before he made it even worse - not that it was really bad, he just didn't want to chance increasing the damage he'd already done/waits, although he's not really sure what he's waiting for exactly*
Yuuri - "Wolfram! Wolfram!!!" *okay, so yelling for the blond wasn't exactly working - the whistling of the mild wind didn't help either - and he was quickly losing his voice from yelling so much/shivers a bit, glaring at the street lights that had begun to flicker on though the lightly falling snow/they'd been shopping for most of the day, after all, and it always got darker, faster during the winter, especially when it was cloudy like it was now/ turns the corner, pausing to catch his breath from running the entire time/kicks at the snow in frustration* "Dammit!!" *he was extremely worried/not knowing that Wolfram was safe had to be one of the worst feelings he'd ever felt/begins his searching again after a few seconds, though stops as something golden-blond caught his eye from across the street/a bit more hoarse than he'd realized his voice had been getting* "Wolf??"

Wolfram - *hadn't really been paying attention to anything, kind of zoned out, so he didn't hear him calling/still sitting on the same swing he'd found, tiredly staring down at the ground - which appeared as if it was supposed to be sand, but it looked a little weird with snow mixed in with and covering it/kicks at it lightly with his good foot, just to have something to do/he was hungry, and lonely, and bored, and scared, and so freaking cold - he felt more than stupid for coming out here in the first place, and knew he shouldn't have left the house/or he should have at least made sure he was a bit better dressed for the cold weather - he couldn't believe he'd forgotten to put on a hat and gloves*

Cloe - *is pretty cold as well, though not as much as Wolfram/she had found her way inside of his jacket, and was happily cuddling with him*

Yuuri - *greatly relieved at the sight of the blond/hurries across the street to the playground, dropping to his knees in front of the swing Wolfram was sitting on and practically throwing his arms around him, though not too tightly since he could guess that Cloe was with him/sobs in relief/a few tears, having already been welled up in his eyes, rolled down his cheeks, red with cold* "Wolf! I was so worried! Are you okay??" *ignores how strange his voice sounded, too thankful for having found Wolfram to care about anything else*

Wolfram - *jumps a bit in surprise/one minute he was completely alone - except for Cloe - and the next Yuuri was clinging to him and asking him if he were okay/was he okay?? he couldn't really decide/he knew that shivering so much wasn't very fun, and that his nose was numb, as well as his hands, and his ankle hurt a little, and he was starving, and a bunch of other things that didn't seem so bad now that Yuuri was here* "I've been worse..."

Yuuri - *looks him over a bit before standing and quickly pulling off his own coat to wrap around Wolfram - he needed it much more than himself/leans back down, taking Wolfram's cold, red face into both hand before pressing his lips to the blond's, unable to stop himself/he was much too thrilled about finding him, though he knew the poor thing must be freezing/pulls back after just a few moments , though keeping his hands on his cheeks, trying to warm them up some/shivers a bit more, himself, now that he didn't have his coat on* "Come on, I've gotta get you back to the house..."

Wolfram - *really doesn't think Yuuri should be giving him his coat, considering it was cold out and Yuuri probably needed it to keep warm/he didn't think it was going to be doing him much good anyway - he'd still be freezing* "I'm sorry..." *he wasn't as zoned out as he had been before Yuuri had randomly popped up, but he still felt a little more out of it than usual/maybe it was the cold... or the hunger... or the fatigue... or the fact that he'd scared himself to death when he'd wandered off and couldn't find his way back/either way, he felt he had to apologize to him - Yuuri had probably been more than a little worried*

Yuuri - *laughs softly, hearing his apology, brushing his cheeks with his thumbs, hoping to get the blood circulating some more* "It's okay... I'm the one who should be sorry... I should never have left you..." *pulls one hand from the Wolfram's face to rub at his own cheeks with his sleeve/the tear streaks were already starting to freeze and it felt pretty uncomfortable/reaches out to help him up, sparing just a moment to wonder where Cloe was hiding within the blond's coat*

Wolfram - *winces a little as he's helped up, trying not to put to much pressure on his ankle/again, it wasn't so bad, probably nothing more than a minor sprain, but he didn't want to make it any worse than it already was/he'd be even more pissed at himself if he was limping at the wedding*

Cloe - *is a little startled at the feel of Wolfram standing from the spot he'd been sitting in for the last little while/pops her head out of the top of his jacket to look around, wondering what was going on*

Yuuri - *easily catches sight of his wince and starts to panic again* "What's wrong?? Are you hurt?? Where does it hurt??" *hey, he had every right to be worried!*

Wolfram - *smiles at him a little in reassurance, though it's a little hard to do when he's shivering harshly/makes sure Cloe didn't fall out of his jacket and hurt herself* "I slipped..." * he would have said more, and gone into a more elaborate explanation of what had happened, but he was so freakin' cold, and he felt like crap from being out here for most of the day*

Yuuri - *doesn't waste another second and leans down to scoop Wolfram up into his arms, holding him tightly to his chest, kissing his forehead a few times before turning to head back to the street/could tell that he must be freezing and didn't want to start pestering him about little things until he was safe and warm*

Wolfram - *would have said something about walking on his own under any other circumstances, but doesn't argue about being carried this time/keeps Cloe close to him, holding her under his jacket and trying to keep her as warm as possible/leans a bit into Yuuri's hold, still feeling bad for making him worry, and for him giving up his coat and probably freezing, too*

Yuuri - *hurries as quickly as he could back down the street while carrying Wolfram and making sure he didn't slip and fall/frowns a bit more, trying to get past what 'I slipped' could have meant/was he really hurt?? he wasn't bleeding, was he?? or broke anything??/does his best not to completely freak out, at least until he knew Wolfram was safe again/a cell phone would really be nice about now... though, he'd end up never using it*

Wolfram - *circles one arm around Yuuri's neck to keep himself steady and reduce the chance of him dropping him or whatever/really hoped Yuuri hadn't panicked too much, though he could imagine how he'd felt to come home to find him gone/uses his other arm to keep Cloe secure - the poor thing was probably starving, too/he probably shouldn't have brought her with him/then again, he probably shouldn't have gone off in the first place/thinks this is officially the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life*

Yuuri - *continues down the several odd blocks to his house/extremely glad he'd been able to find him before it got too dark, though feels like a complete moron for leaving him by himself in the first place/never again!! he wouldn't make the same stupid mistake twice!/cuddles the blond a bit closer as they neared the house/spots his mom coming out to greet them, probably just as worried as he'd been* "Mom, call Shori and tell him we found him..." *hopes his brother was okay/really grateful that he'd helped in the search*

Miko - *nods, hurrying off to call up her eldest on his cell phone once she'd let the two into the house*

Wolfram - *sighs a bit in relief when he sees that they've made it, though even being in the nice, warm house, he was still extremely cold/couldn't seem to stop shivering*

Cloe - *meows lightly/is practically completely unaware of the whole ordeal, she just knows that being inside means warmth and food*

Yuuri - *carefully sits down on the little step near the front door to take off his and Wolfram's shoes, though making sure to keep the blond safely in his lap/carefully slides the blond's borrowed shoes off, not bothering to point out that they'd been on the wrong feet and had been tied completely wrong/softly to him, still cuddling him close and trying to get him to stop shivering so much* "Where are you hurt...?"

Wolfram - *winces just a little as Yuuri helps him take off the stupid Earth shoes, trying not to jostle his foot and move his ankle too much* "My right ankle. I think I twisted it a little. It's not so bad..." *right now, it was the cold that was bothering him most of all/that, and the way his stomach was grumbling*

Yuuri - *nods to him, being careful not to move his right foot so much as he lifted him off the ground again to carry out into the living room*

Miko - *had made them a large bowl of soup in her wait for them to return, and had just finished heating up a plate of milk for the kitten/worried mother mode* "Wol-chan! Are you okay? You must be starving! Yuu-chan! You need to help him change into something warmer! He shouldn't be wearing such cold clothes! Shori's on his way home, he's not too far away."

Wolfram - *doesn't answer her verbally, but nods to her question/yeah, he was okay, just... maybe shocked, although that didn't seem like the right word/it's not like anything seriously traumatic had happened to him while he'd been out - unless you call getting lost in a strange world a traumatic experience, in which case, then yes, he was probably in shock/or maybe it was the cold... it was really, really cold... like, really, absolutely, extremely, undeniably cold*

Yuuri - *sighs a little at his mother, moving past her to head for the stairs/getting Wolfram into something warmer was the next item on his list if he'd been allowed enough time to see it through without being nagged at/reluctantly sets him on the edge of his bed before quickly digging through his closet for the warmest thing he owned/pulls out his old sweatshirt and pants he used for training when he was in high school/hey, they were good clothes! he wasn't about to get rid of good clothes/moves back over to the bed to help Wolfram get out of the two coats as well as the rest of his icy clothes, mindful of Cloe as he helped him quickly get changed/yeah, the clothes were huge on him, but that didn't matter since he'd been planning on holding him for the rest of the night... and possibly the next day... and the day after that... etc...*

Wolfram - *is really thankful for Yuuri’s help, because he didn’t think he could move a muscle at the moment/vaguely wonders if his limbs had been frozen in place, and then tells himself that if that’s the case he should be panicking a lot more right about now/as it was, he could hardly do or say anything, just sit there and let Yuuri change him into overly large - yet noticeably warmer - clothes/internally curses at himself for being stupid/can’t remember a time when he’d been so lacking in common sense - except for that one time when he’d been young and he’d tried to climb a tree to get over the wall at the back of the palace, and he’d fallen and nearly broken his arm; but that had been when he’d been a child, and children had more than a few stupid moments/he should know better by now…/he did know better, he’d just had a slight lapse in judgment/okay, so a major lapse in judgment*

Yuuri - *lets out a sigh of relief once he'd managed to get Wolfram into warmer clothes/pauses for a moment longer to brush at the blond's hair some and pet Cloe before turning to get changed into something warmer, himself/once that task was finished, he carefully took Wolfram back up into his arms, as well as the cat, to bring back downstairs, intent on getting him warmed up and fed*

Wolfram - *clings to both Yuuri and Cloe/still pretty silent compared to usual/tries to get his mind and voice to work for him, but it doesn't seem to be happening/he can't really seem to think of anything at the moment, nor can he vocalize any of the stray thoughts that do happen to cross his mind*

Yuuri - *takes him down to the living room where his mom had two bowls of hot soup and the warm plate of milk set on the table/keeps Wolfram close to him as he sits on the floor, back up against the couch/takes the spoon from one of the bowls, scooping some of the steamy soup out and bringing it close to his mouth to blow on it a little before holding it for Wolfram to eat/glances up at his mom as she comes in to wrap some blankets around them/sounds even worse than before from all the shouting he'd done when looking for Wolfram, barely able to make out the words* "Is Shori back yet...?"

Miko - *does just that and wraps the blankets tightly around the boys, kneeling down to wrap an arm around Wolfram's shoulders as he was held in Yuuri's lap/she'd been worried too, of course/shakes her head at his question* "Not yet..."

Wolfram - *opens his mouth slowly to allow Yuuri to feed him/releases Cloe from his grasp momentarily, so she's able to jump up onto the table and start drinking her bowl of milk*

Cloe - *Mmmm... milk... yummy*
