“Nyan… And this is Nino’s favourite game!” Nino said holding up a game that Jun remembered that he had done the promotion for a few weeks ago. Nino had dragged him into his or the spare bedroom, he was a little confused or he would have been if he wasn’t too busy grinning at the cute expression on his life mate’s face and the way he was bouncing up and down. Jun took the game glancing at the back trying to remember anything about it so he could put something to the conversation. He felt a little like a fish out of water next to his life mate and his excited nature and Nino was looking up at him as if expecting him to say something.

“Um… Why is it your favourite?” He managed and Nino gave a an excited squeak his tail flicking against the bed

“Nyan! Nino wasn’t interested in it… But then I saw a picture! It made Nino very excited and Nino wanted play it!”

“It’s your favourite… Because of an advert?” Jun said, looking at his life mate, wondering if the black and white Nekoman knew that he had worked on it and was playing him but, looking into his eyes he could tell that he was telling the truth. Nino’s tail flicked again as he nodded frantically

“It made Nino so happy to see it… And when Nino plays it he remembers that, Nyan” He said taking the game back and opening it up and showing him a clipping from a magazine. Jun grinned seeing that it was the project that he had worked on, he knew he shouldn’t doubt the fates because they knew what they were doing but he couldn’t believe that they had a small connection like that before they had even met. “It made Nino feel like when we met… Nino is sorry…Nyan”

“Huh what for?”

“Nino must be boring for somebody like Jun…” He meowed softly the excitement clearing from his face, “Nino isn’t pretty like the scary white lady… Jun would want to be life mates more with her… Nyan…”

“Baka… The fates don’t make mistakes right?” He said sitting on the bed and putting an arm around his shoulders, he wasn’t sure how true that statement was right now but he was pretty convinced that he didn’t like the depressed expression that was on his life mate’s face “We’re meant to be together, we have to believe in the fates ne?”

“Y-es… Nino is glad that the fates gave Nino to Junn-y…Jun…” Nino smiled a soft purr ringing out and almost delighting Jun a little. Earlier when he had heard Kazu’s strong purrs he had wondered what Nino’s would be like, they were almost like he had pictured, gentle and a little hesitant, but filling the room none the less. His mother had said you could tell a lot about someone y their purr and Nino’s was the best he had ever heard, it sounded like he was playing a melody with his throat. Jun tugged him closer rubbing his cheek against the top of his head, releasing his own purr, which he had been told, more than once, was like a motorbike starting up. Nino giggled “Junny makes Nino feel nice… Nyan, Nino said Junny again…”

“It’s okay Nino, you can call me Junny…” Jun purred against him completely relaxed and prepared to give it to his life mate. He had given that up in the space of a day, what else would he be giving up the more time he spent with him.

“Is Junny tired?”

“Yes” Jun nodded looking at the window and realising that the sky was already getting lighter and soon the birds would be singing. His purrs stopped as he realised that he couldn’t stay here, if Kazu came back while he was sleeping with Nino things would get hard. He pulled himself away from Nino and stood “I should go home…I’ve given you my number you can ring me when you wake up…”

“Ano… You’re Nino’s life mate, ne?” Nino asked hanging his head as he tugged on the sleeve on Jun’s shirt.

“Yes…” Jun smiled unable to stop himself from stroking the soft silky head

“You… Youwon’t be withthe scarywhitelady…” the smaller Nekoman said in a rush looking up at him with large pleading eyes. It took Jun a minute to translate it and the he gave a laugh

“No I’ll be waiting for Nino’s call” He answered and Nino grinned giving a yawn settling into the bed. Jun watched him fall to sleep and then headed out not surprised to see Satoshi sitting on the sofa. They nodded to each other and smiled a little before he left.

Satoshi smiled yawning a little, he was used to not sleeping, sometimes when he was working on a project he would work into the night, forgetting unimportant things like sleep and food. But today his mind was too full of Kazu and the excitement that they would be visiting his parents, he looked at the clock and saw that it was 4.37, his parents wouldn’t be awake for a least another two hours at least and not even them would be very happy if he called at this time of night, though they might accept it if it was because he wanted to arrange a time to meet his life mate. He picked up a magazine from the glass table and saw that it was one of the magazines that had covered his last art show. He flicked through, looking at the strange images that covered the glossy pages and sighed. He really hadn’t thrown himself into anything like that for a long time. Not until that morning, he mused, thinking about the painting of Kazu that was in his apartment.

“I like that one…” A voice said against his ear and Satoshi would have been startled if it wasn’t accompanied by a light purr. He rubbed his cheek against Kazu’s and looked at the image the short stubby finger was pointing too. It was simply two lovers sitting on the wall, their hands and tails entwined as they were staring out over a river. Inside the river were the reflections of their lives together, right from meeting until old age. He had to admit that it was one of the ones that he had thought of as his best pieces, but not everyone had agreed pushing it aside for the other bolder pieces. It meant a lot to him that Kazu would like that one. “I wouldn’t let Sho or Masaki throw that away because I like flicking through it”

“You’re just trying to flatter me” Satoshi said with a faint blush and Kazu let out a laugh, rubbing their cheeks together as his arms came around his neck. A nose and then a mouth were pressed to the skin on his neck, and Satoshi let out a little chuckle.       

“I don’t have to flatter you… You’re my life mate… I seriously like that picture, more than all your others…” Kazu told him and then grabbed his hand pulling him into the spare bedroom. It was wall to wall with games and posters of games and Kazu sighed “Seriously Masaki should put these away and tidy up, I feel sorry for Sho” he muttered sticking the games on the shelves and Satoshi was reminded that this was technically Nino’s room so the games would be his and that being the case he felt sorry for Jun.  Once the games had been put away Kazu tugged him down onto the bed and held him tightly their purrs filling the air. Listening to them Satoshi couldn’t help but be lulled to sleep, even though he was terrified that it wouldn’t be Kazu in bed with him when he woke up and he would have to do some serious apologising to him.

“Sato, hey Sato-chan… It’s time to wake up…” A voice called to him and for one stupid moment he thought it was his mum and Kazu had been an amazing dream. When he had regained his senses though, he realised that it was Kazu that was waking him up by waving a cup of steaming freshly ground coffee in front of his face. He sat up rubbing the sleep from his eyes and taking the cup, “Your phone kept ringing so I answered it, it was your mum” Kazu said handing him the phone with a grin, and Satoshi almost panicked

“What did you say?” he gasped having to put the coffee down before he spilled it.

“I said that I was your life mate and that you were still sleeping…” his life mate shrugged pulling with the blanket as if it were no big deal

“And then?”

“And then she let out an excited squeal and put your dad on the phone…And before you ask, he gave a small squeal too and I was patched into your housekeeper/Nurse who I think fainted… We’re invited for brunch in an hour…” Kazu grinned and Satoshi stared at his life mate, wondering if he was being serious. Apparently he was because a few minutes later he was ushered into the bathroom to shower and wash before being pushed into a car.

When they arrived at his parent’s house, Satoshi was positive that it was Kazu that was meant to be having nerves not him. He looked at his lover, and saw Kazu was perfectly calm, with the exception that his white ear was twitching a little. Taking a deep breath he held Kazu’s and walked him up the white stone steps and into the main hall, to where he knew his parents would be waiting.
