Story, 6th part
Kin woke in Ved’s arms. They were both very much in human form. Kin sat up.
“Your roommate went to dinner. You hungry?”
He was, but not just for food. “You’ve finally got me alone and naked and food is all your thinking about.”
Ved groaned and pushed his hips against Kin. Nope, food wasn’t all that was on Ved’s mind.
“Neither of us can get pregnant, right?”
“Correct.” Ven’s Popsey had made sure all the kittens of all his acquaintances knew what catnip looked and tasted like.
“Then what’s stopping us?” He moved his hand slowly down Ved’s body. Nothing stopped them at all.
Laying back in the bed, with Ved’s arms around him like they were supposed to be, Kin gathered up his nerve and asked, “Did you mean it? Back when we were kittens? That someday we’d have kittens of our own. The same kittens?”
Ved hummed assent. “But not until you graduate. Dad, Popsey, and Baba had to wait until their last litter grew up a bit before they really got to spend time together. I’d like to do that before we have kittens.”
Kin cuddled closer. “I agree. Maybe I can be pregnant at my graduation.”
“Big and round.” Ved put his hand on Kin’s flat stomach and kissed Kin’s neck. “Or maybe I should be.”
“But first we need a place to live.”
“Working on it. I get one of the graduate student dorms on the top floor of this very building as soon as the couple up there get their new place, which is waiting on the family there getting their house. Baba’s Pater is pulling strings, but it’s still taking longer than I’d hoped. Or I can move in beside Shiva across campus right now.”
“But you want to be close to me?”
Ved kissed his neck. “Very, very close.”
