Kaito immediately jumped off the bed, a tiny thump sounding when he hit the floor, and ran to the front of the house. He’d been getting worried since he’d gotten back from the heist, since his detective needed to take care of some work afterward. Didn’t help when he had troubles like this…
But it didn’t matter, he’d returned, if the front door opening gave any indication. And Kaito’s just going to run up and start rubbing against his leg, worry about being a cat momentarily pushed aside from being happy to see his detective.
Hakuba let out a breath as he came home and closed the door behind him. His arms were full of bags, as he’s needed to pick up things for his new guest. Well, the guest wasn’t new, it was his boyfriend Kuroba Kaito, who was currently in the form of a cat, something that had taken him a bit to come to terms with, but there was just too much evidence for it.
His life.
Hakuba nearly tripped over the grey cat that was rubbing against his legs and he skipped and hopped but was able to make it to the living room where he could put down the bags in his arms and picks up the excited cat. He held him against his chest and gently scratched behind his ears – he couldn’t help it – and smiled softly at the ball of fur.
“Yes, I’m home. And I brought everything we’ll need. Wet cat food – no fish – a water and food dish, a kitty liter box, scratching post for your claw, and some toys for when I’m away.”
Kaito purred and rubbed against his detective, perfectly fine with being picked up, and… well, while he hadn’t always wanted to be scratched and pet when he just had ears and a tail, as a full cat, he accepted it without much protest. Saguru made him feel a lot more safe about being like this. Not as sure how he felt about the supplies, but he knew they’d be needed right now. Though, don’t put it past the magician to try and do some things he would normally on his own, cat or not.
However, he nuzzled the other right now. Definitely hadn’t lost any of his cuddle instinct in the change. At all.
