Kain greeted the latest visitors to his Matchmaking shop personally. The tall fey stood out among the human clients his charcoal grey skin contrasting with his bright silver hair. The figure standing close beside him, held close by a protective arm was far smaller and cute with his pointed ears and trailing tail. It had been awhile since they’d had a Neko in the shop and many of the Desk-Djinn downed pens to smile appreciatively at the sight. The faint patches of colour on his skin were adorable. When he twitched his ears and slunk closer to his companion several lovelorn sighs filled the room
‘Buziek, Calico good of you to come by, lets take a seat in the corner and chat.’ The proud fey thanked him gracefully with studiously correct manners while the Neko gave a shy smile and stuck close.
‘How can we be of service Buziek, your family is not one I’d expect to seek an appointment here. A pleasure though it is to welcome you.’
Buziek send a loving look to Calico; folding into a comfy chair and holding the little Neko close. He gave the room a considering look then relaxed marginally.
‘Lets dispense with all the proprieties Kain we two have known each other a long time’
‘We have indeed’ Kain gave a more genuine smile.
‘How is everyone? Satyr still tormenting the village? And Petal-Bloom, I hear he got promoted?’
‘Fine. You know Satyr, the Major tried an exorcism last week. Satyr considers it his biggest achievement to date.’
‘No side effects?’
‘Well they contracted a newly qualified Warlock named Erik’ there was a significant pause.
‘Erik?’
‘The Major now has more immediate worries than Satyr’
‘I bet’ they shared a chuckle.
‘It’s Petal-Bloom’s promotion that brings us here’
‘Problems?’
‘Our marriage bonds are as strong as ever’ Calico smiled up at his husband, rubbing his ears affectionately against the tall fey.
‘You’re familiar with the demands of my job’ As Kain’s eldest and his lover worked for the same organisation Kain had a good idea what Buziek’s job involved and held a profound respect for his friend. A respect that was returned tenfold for Kain’s loyalty and commitment to his extended family.
‘Satyr is away most weekends and now Petal-Bloom must travel with the delegation’
Calico sidled closer and got fussed for his efforts.
‘Calico here works from home, he gets lonely’
‘I’m not used to being on my own’ In a marriage of four, time alone was a rare occurrence.
‘What do you propose Buziek?’
‘A companion?’ Buziek left it to Calico to nod confirmation.
‘Marriage?’
‘Marriage would take a group decision, but it would be considered if a really appealing cohort could be found.’
A loud squeal interrupted their deliberations, Kain’s mouth tightened then he chuckled and grinned, it would save introductions. Moving his chair out of the way he watched the missile that launched itself cooing at Calico.
‘Awww whose a sweet little cat-boy then. Look at your little earsies, so cute. Mmmm’ Calico recovering quickly from his initial shock, reacting rather well to a sudden lap of squirming Soomi. Giggling when his ears were fondled and scrunching his nose when a wet tongue decided to taste his facial patches. ‘And a tail! So pretty! You’re a pretty little neko-boy-sweety-cat’
Kain watched in amusement as Calico got his tail petted, the normally shy Neko twisting and giggling, his tail curling around Soomi’s wrist and a low purr reverberating in his throat at the fussing. Buziek too was entranced, making no move to separate them.
‘Soomi, Calico there..’
‘Calico, you name is Calico my sweetykin?’ Calico nodded, eyes shuttering as Soomi massaged his ear tips. The purr grew louder.
‘Buziek and Calico’ Soomi tore his eyes, if not his hands, away from Calico to notice the tall fey sitting beside him.
‘Oooh you’re a tall one’ a hand sneaked out to finger the shiny hair and Buziek’s narrow lips curved in a slight smile.
‘We have two other husbands for you to meet, Satyr and Plum-Bloom’
‘Satyr, you mean…don’t they have really huge…?‘
Buziek and Calico gave wide matching grins and Soomi practically swooned, falling to lay over both of the men’s laps.
The discussion leapt forward skipping the weekend visits to where proposals appeared imminent. Kain nodded to his friend and left them to talk. Greg met him at the corner of his desk just in time to hear the shocked exclamations.
‘You have a tail too?’
‘You have THREE tails!’
Buziek stroked the nearest of the plump fluffy appendages that now waved gaily behind their Soomi. Calico pawed another, watching the wiggles with bright captivated eyes.
‘Silly Kitsune, they never seem to learn’
‘They do all think they’re the first to think of applying here’
‘Keeps the other staff happy though’ Kain and Greg shared a conspirators look of complete understanding.
‘Think they’ll keep up with him?’
‘There are four of them’
Greg still laughing at the continuing coos and purrs coming from the corner alcove, eventually moved on to type out an advertisement ready for the future job vacancy, it was always good to be prepared. Kain wandered off to check on his brood, via his bedroom and a eager Dick.
