"Xiyangyang, you've fallen for Hui Tailang, haven't you?"
"Huh?"
The afternoon silence in the bedroom was finally disturbed by the feline's accusation.
Facing back to his homework, Xiyangyang responded with an iritated tone, "What catnip you've smoked to think that?" Sitting on the bed, Ximaomao's slitted eyes tried to pry his face. But there's no tints of pink to brag about.
"I mean, come oooon? It's obvious." He leaned closer, "First, you rant about him all the time. Second, you put your utmost trust in him even in impossible moments, you could even be called delusional. Third, you smiled the earnest around him, fourth-"
"Alright, alright! Stop! Shut that foul mouth of–"
"you hide a frown everytime we encounter his wife. Poor you, falling for someone who's already in a sworn love ."
His right hand in effort of shutting the other, caught himself revealed for what he always tried to hide.
"Got your tongue~"
Xiyangyang sat back to his homework, "Shut up." The cat's tail was swinging so joyfully. He could finally tease his goat form.
He walked to him, "Why aim for him, little Xi? He already has a family to take care of, letting your heartstrings pulled would only tear it like a rag."
The pen continued scribbling, "I don't, and i won't, get out of my sight." Ximaomao inched closer to him, until their eyes met through the window reflection. He smirked while the other frowned,
"Tragic."
He pulled the goat's chin to met his eyes, now with the real thing.
"When you have me by your side."
He kissed him on the nose.
Xiyangyang's hands by reflex pushed his face away, face turning dark.
"Get a mirror, you're worse."
They just did. Ximaomao smirked wider "Not really, look at my position now. Do i look unhappy?" Face held by the person you liked, many can only dream.
"I do." His eyes sharpened, it was unfortunate the cat could feel his rage that he couldn't enjoy the moment at all.
"Your loss."
Xiyangyang standed up back, sighing long. It seemed like his hands were already in the air. "Quit it, Ximaomao. You're me, but worse. If you expect a relationship like that, you're delusional."
Sitting back, he replied "Nah, i'm the better version, you know? Also, i'm not delusional. I have a chance, unlike someone."
A tsk was heard, "This world doesn't even allow the same blood to love each other romantically, what makes you think the same person can?" He reached for the door.
"They always say 'love yourself', you should try that, Xiyangyang."
And he left. The cat could see he was pretty upset, but hey, at least he didn't slam the door.
