“Nino?” Sho mumbled a few mornings later stroking the empty side of the bed where his CAT should have still been sleeping. Nino never woke first, he was often the first to sleep but he was never up early often hissing if Sho got him up before seven am so to wake up to an empty bed and an even emptier suite was cause for concern. Sho rubbed the sleep from his eyes and pushed himself up out of bed. Today they would be pulling into their first port, where they would be picking up his camera man and starting their assignment. Nino had never really liked the camera man that was being sent. He had always enjoyed touching him without asking and Nino had been sulking about it the night before. Sho had been sad that they couldn’t get a new one but he had to stay professional. Nobody at the station would get rid of the their best cameraman based on Nino’s moods. Of course, he hadn’t said that knowing how Nino could be but he was worried that Nino would have picked up on them.
They had been happy these last four days. They hadn’t progressed further than kisses and the occasional caresses but they had both learned to say ‘I love you more easily’. Nino refused to hold his hand outside the room and act beyond anything but friends but inside the room he was more affectionate than ever and more often than not they would sit together in the evenings with their doors open watching the water and the dolphins that Nino was convinced were following them.
Sho hoped that Nino wasn’t going to be difficult today as he pulled on his clothes about to go look for him when the door to the suite opened and Nino crept in. The CAT was walking on his tiptoes as silently as he could manage while pushing a trolley with food and drink on it. He glanced nervously at the bed and then jumped when he saw Sho standing almost directly in front of him. The trolley came to a stop and the CATs mouth fell open while his cheeks went pink.

“Um...You’re already awake...I thought you would sleep longer” Nino whispered his ears flat and his tail curled up around his leg. He gave him a shifty glance and then swallowed before lifting the metal cover from the food on the tray. “I made breakfast! It’s all Sho’s favourites!”
“Nino...What do you mean you made breakfast?”
“Takumi-san let me use the kitchen! I asked him! I like cooking you breakfast! I wanted to cook you breakfast in bed!”
“Why?”
“Do I need a reason? Eh! Don’t you like it! I worked hard on it...You think other peoples food is better than mine!” Nino whined his eyes going glassy with tears as his lower lip wobbled. Sho knew that he was acting but he didn’t want to take the chance that he wasn’t and he quickly moved to the trolley seeing that what had been cooked was his favourites. They were all the dishes that his grandmother had made when he was a kid. Sho wasn’t completely sure how Nino had gotten the recipes out of her but he had and his food was just as good if not slightly better.
“Nino you know that’s not true. I love your cooking, your cooking is better than anyone else’s I was just wondering why? It’s not like you have to. This is your holiday...”
“I like cooking for Sho! Besides today is our anniversary...!” Nino informed him with his cheeks a deep flushed red and Sho stared at the CAT for a moment not understanding what he was saying. Nino licked at his lips for a moment, his ears completely flat against his head while his eyes looked shiftily around. He picked up the tip of his tail and began playing with it for a moment or two before sighing. “I came to live with Sho five months ago today!”
“Really...? Oh...Its only been five months?”
“Eh?! Has it been that bad that you think it’s been longer! I thought you liked living with me!” Nino said rushing in without understanding his words yet again. Sho moved quickly to the CAT before he could work himself into a state and caught him gently by the shoulders shaking his head as he pressed a quick kiss to his lips.
“I didn’t mean it that way! I meant that...That it feels like I’ve known you for a lot longer, I’ve never had anyone know me the way that you do...Who else would know that my favourite breakfast food is scones with cream and jam?” Sho asked looking at the food again. He knew that it was more of an afternoon tea sort of food but he had always liked it, ever since he was a child. His grandmother had always indulged him when she could but his parents had hated it.
“Not even Masaki?”
“Not even Masaki. Nobody but you would care enough about me to think of it...” Sho promised and Nino wrinkled his nose in thought before slowly shaking his head causing Sho to remember that Nino didn’t always get when he wasn’t exactly being serious. Everything was cut and dry with the CAT.
“Masaki cares about you. He would do it...”
“Maybe but only if I asked him...You do it just because it’s our fifth month anniversary...”
“It’s not just because...At least, not to me...Its five months since you saved me and let me stay with you! You gave me a job Sho-chan and let me buy games...And brought me on the ships!” Nino smiled happily reaching up to stroke the patch on his ear. “Which I like best of all when it’s not hating me! Mostly though I like being with you! You make me feel...Not like a CAT...Or just like a CAT. People always look at me funny...Aww look at his ears! Look at his tail! They don’t see me, not like you do...”
“I love you, I will always see you...” Sho said not even looking at the ears and tail. They were a part of his Nino and he loved how expressive they were but he knew that he would love him just as much if he lost them.
“I know! I see you too!”
“I love you, Ninomiya Kazunari”
“I love you, Sakurai Sho...” Nino giggled before Sho lost all control over himself and moved forward to sweep him into a long loving kiss. It was deeper and hotter than any of the other kisses they had shared over the course of their few day relationship and Sho was surprised at how eager Nino was. His nails clawed at his back for a moment pulling at the t-shirt he had just put on. Sho sighed at the small amount of pain he experienced at the touch but otherwise he let himself enjoy it not minding when Nino moved away flushing and nervous with his lips glossy and his hair a mess. “Um...Your breakfast, Sho!”
“Yup...Thank-you...I can’t believe they let you into the kitchen...”
“I had to wear a hair net...It didn’t fit over my ears so they gave me three...And my tail...” Nino huffed looking at his tail before batting it playfully with his hand. Sho smiled wishing he could have seen that but knowing better than to say that. “Eat up!”
