I wrote this for my friend Elle, who is the only other person in the world who ships this XD
Kyou sighs softly and stares out the window. It's hard being the Cat of the zodiac, locked up in this room and unable to see the sky. Everything from before, the karate training, the schooling, the friends and family, the everything is so far away now. It's almost as if another Kyou had lived the first life and now he, Kyou number two, had come to live an entirely different one. He couldn't even see Shishou anymore... well, not often, at least. The man who had been his teacher, caretaker and father figure was frail now, having had a stroke only a few years after Kyou's imprisonment. The family was willing to bend the rules just a bit to keep him happy. After all, if the old man wanted to spend the end of his life writing letters to the Cat and buying him little trinkets, what could it hurt?
A playful punch to the shoulder interrupts Kyou's thoughts. He starts, unused to contact after living so long in solitude. Shishou's latest gift looks at him with wide eyes, grinning impishly.
"Kyou-kun? Don't ignore me! Don't you like me anymore?"
He hesitates, then grins.
"Sure I like you, Dyta. Why wouldn't I?"
His persocom laughs and flings her arms about Kyou's shoulders.
"You couldn't! I'm yours after all, you big suck!"
Kyou freezes stock still for a moment, unsure of how to handle this foreign situations after a lifetime of avoidance for fear of transformation. Slowly, he loosens up and manages to awkwardly wrap his arms around Dyta's waist. He coughs and looks away even as his face heats.
"Yeah, well... good."
Maybe this lifetime of solitude will be bearable... now that he has someone just for him to share it with.
