“Nuvola! Nuvola, where are you?” Dino called out for the pup who had gone missing for most of today. Her parents were getting worry, hence why the Don Cavallone was now walking around Kyouya’s house, opening each shojis and looking in each rooms.
As he entered one room which seemed to be served as a storage room of sort, Dino finally heard some noises most likely created by a pup. “Nuvola? You here, girl?” he called out again and this time his call was answered by a cheerful bark.
Relieved, Dino walked deeper into the room and he found the naughty girl in front of an opened cupboard. “There you are, girl. You are making you Papa and Tou-san worried!” he chastised the pup gently while bending down to pick her up.
It was when he was bending that he saw a white kitten stuffed toy on the floor, apparently being dragged out of the cupboard by Nuvola. Curiously, Dino took the stuffed toy and he found out that it was worn out, most likely because it was being cuddled often years ago.
“...Well, well, looks what we found here, Nuvola.” the blond man chuckled.
"And what is it you found?" Kyouya asked from the doorway. He had followed Dino's voice to the part of the house he rarely used.
Dino turned around, quite surprised to hear Kyouya’s voice. “Kyouya! You surprise me.” he grinned before showing the kitten stuffed toy to the younger man. “This. Looks like Nuvola found a treasure here.”
"Hm?" Kyouya frowned, walking closer. "And you let her take it?"
“It’s already out when I found her.” Dino shrugged, putting Nuvola back on the ground but still holding the kitten stuffed toy, He turned the stuffed toy and lifted it until it was on Kyouya’s eye level. “Yours?”
"Who else's?"
The grin on Dino’s face widened slightly. “What’s it name?”
"Why on Earth would a toy have a name?" Mousie. No, children did not tend to be logical.
“Because, it’ll be hard to call it stuffed toy all the time, especially if you have more than one stuffed toys.” Dino lifted the stuffed toy again. “So, what’s this Mr. Kitty’s name?”
He paused for a moment. "Mousie."
Dino smiled. “Mr. Mousie. Well, it certainly is nice to meet him.” he chuckled. “Looks like you loved him a lot, hmm?”
"I was a child." He took the toy from Dino, examining it. It had been a long time since he'd even remembered Mousie.
“I’m sure he must be your favorite one.” Dino said, smiling.
"Why do you automatically assume I must have several?"
Dino tilted his head. “Just an assumption? Don’t you? Is this your only stuffed toy then?”
"...I had a couple of others. When I was little."
“You brought them all with you here? Or is this Mr. Mousie special?” he asked, putting his hand on the stuffed toy’s head.
"I didn't exactly have a moving truck. Anything I couldn't carry while sneaking out had to stay." So, yes, Mousie had been special.
“I’m grateful for Mr. Mousie then, because he had kept you company so that you wouldn’t feel lonely here.” Dino smiled.
"I wasn't exactly five when I ran away, Cavallone." But yes. He had been quite grateful to Mousie.
“It would still be lonely if you stay in this house alone.” Dino paused and just looked at Kyouya for a moment before he continued, “Well, at least I’d think so.”
"I survived." Obviously.
Dino just rolled his eyes when he heard Kyouya’s response but he didn’t say anything. “Why don’t we bring Mr. Mousie with us for tonight, hm? I think he’s bored being stored in the cupboard for such a long time.”
"He's an inanimate object, Cavallone. He has no feelings." Except he was looking at him with such sad eyes...
“Not true! I’m sure he misses you so much. He’d like to be able to sleep near you for tonight, don’t you think?”
Kyouya paused. "I'm not having sex with Mousie watching."
That made Dino paused too. “...We’ll put Mousie far away and watching the door when we have sex.”
Now, Kyouya actually smirked. "Interesting that you'd be so sure you're going to get some tonight."
Dino shrugged. “Called me an optimistic person, Kyouya. Besides, I haven’t done anything that could make you angry at me and not allow me to touch you today, right?” he grinned sheepishly.
"Not particularly, but what if I decide to snuggle Mousie all night instead?"
It would be a really adorable image, for sure. “I won’t object that decision, for sure. Mousie misses you a lot more than me, after all.” he answered.
Kyouya chuckled, drawing the old cat closer to himself. Mousie was still as soft as he remembered, though quite a bit smaller. "Careful, there. Mousie is much more huggable than you are, after all."
“Must I feel threatened by him, then?” Dino asked in soft whisper, walking closer to Kyouya’s side.
"Depends on what you are afraid of."
“Hmm.” Dino put on a thoughtful expression. “Will he steal your attention from me much?”
"He is not too good a conversationalist, not interested in sex, and even now isn't complaining despite having been left in a cupboard for years," Kyouya pointed out. He glanced towards said cupboard, seeing Nuvola's wiggly tail sticking out. Ah well. Now that Mousie was out, there couldn't be anything too important in there. "I don't think you'll have to worry about him demanding too much of my time."
“You will cuddle him more often than me, though?”
"Maybe."
“I do feel threatened then.” he was getting a lot closer with Kyouya, now. “I can’t let a small stuffed toy beat a Don Cavallone, right?”
"I will under no circumstances marry a stuffed toy, so I would say you have an advantage, still." He looked Dino in the eye, still holding Mousie close.
“Hmm. It’s alright then. I’ll manage to endure our new friend’s presence.” putting his hand on Mousie’s head, Dino made sure his fingers would be closing the stuffed toy’s eyes before kissing Kyouya’s lips softly.
Kyouya would never admit it, but he did appreciate the gesture. Not because Mousie was alive or anything, but it was a matter of principle. Just... nostalgia. That was all.
He leant into the kiss, still holding onto his oldest friend.
Dino broke the kiss after a moment, giving Kyouya a soft smile before lifting his hand -- the one which was covering Mousie’s eyes -- to caress Kyouya’s cheek.
“We’d better hope our bed back in the university is big enough for three people.”
"Mousie doesn't take very much space." He was a good friend like that. Small animals were very tolerable.
Kyouya then turned his head a bit, flicking his tongue out to tease Dino's palm.
Dino’s eyes darkened slightly when he saw Kyouya’s tongue flicking out, but his smile was still on his face. “That’s good. I’m sure Nuvola would be able to learn sharing with Mousie too.”
"As long as she doesn't try to get rid of her competitor." He hadn't saved Mousie from his father just to have him rip apart years down the road.
“I’m sure she has more than enough toys to chew on. She won’t target Mousie too.” Dino chuckled. “Now, then, should we bring Mousie to your room? I’m quite sure he had had enough of this room already.”
"Hey, if even you are jealous of him..." Kyouya shook his head, chuckling. "I suppose so, though. He has been alone in the darkness quite a while."
“Ah, but Nuvola sometimes is smarter than me, right?” Dino grinned. “Well, then, it’s time for Mousie to be bathed under sunlight again!” he continued dramatically before kissing Kyouya’s cheek.
"That I certainly cannot deny." Kyouya chuckled, glancing at Nuvola. "...Should we get her out of the closet?"
“Hmm.” Dino frowned before shrugging. “I guess. She has been exploring enough closets for now.” he chuckled. “You can go first with Mousie. I’ll get that naughty girl out of the closet.”
"So gracious of you." Kyouya smirked. "You just want to see if I have any other dark secrets tucked away, I bet."
“That’s an additional bonus, Kyouya!” Dino shot back with a grin even as he walked towards the closet and bending down to -- almost literally -- pull Nuvola out of the closet. “That’s enough treasure hunting for today, girl!”
"Too bad for you there's no way for you to get your hands on my baby pictures," Kyouya shot over his shoulder as he walked out of the room.
Oh, that’s really bad certainly. Dino was sure Kyouya was such an adorable baby. For now, though, he’d be satisfied with every little pieces of information he could get about his lover’s past. Even if they are not strictly good information.
After a moment, Dino finally managed to pull Nuvola out of the closet. Apparently the girl would only want to get out once she’d made really sure that nothing interesting was inside the closet anymore.
“Satisfied now, girl?” Dino asked the puppy who had turned around to face him. When Nuvola gave him a bark, he chuckled and lifted the puppy up. “Come on, Tou-san is waiting for us.” he murmured as he walked out of the room with Nuvola on his arms.
