彡 010 - I wanna do right by you. 彡

[definitely enjoying the sunshine, Hiei's sprawled out in a patch of it that's shining on the bed he shares with Kurama. curled up on his chest are twin Bengal kittens that he acquired at the local pet shop, courtesy of a certain firestarter. he's been quite busy with the wee ones since Kurama's been off playing with his damned plants - again]

Heh...so you got 'em?

[subzero_inferno]

[cracks open a crimson eye, a crooked grin gracing his lips as he spots Axel]

Couldn't help myself. I guess pets aren't so bad after all.

[firebranded]

Told you so.

They suit you, though they're gonna be handful when they're older.

[subzero_inferno]

[arches an eyebrow at that]

They suit me? How so?

If they become too much trouble, I can always have Kurama watch them.

[firebranded]

They got the same look in their eyes that you have.

Uh-uh, that's not how it works. You got 'em, so they're your responsibility. You're not going to back out, are you?

[subzero_inferno]

[flushes just a little at that, smiling ruefully]

I doubt Kurama would be too thrilled if I did. He has a fox demon inside him.

[firebranded]

Yeah, so I heard. You'd better take good care of them, then.

If you need any advice, I'm always around.

[nods. the words "thank you" are on his lips, but he just can't say it. still too demon, still too damn prideful. he settles for a half smile]

I just might take you up on that, firestarter.
