Chapter Text
Haruka was exhausted when he came home that night. He had been away for a whole month because of a training camp his coach had organized for the team. He just wanted a hot bath and Makoto.
However when he opened the door Makoto wasn't there to welcome him back. Instead he heard meows coming from their bedroom.
“Makoto?” he asked
Makoto was lying on the futon and was surrounded by five tiny balls of fur which were purring softly.
“Ah! Haru-chan!” Makoto's face lit up when he saw his boyfriend enter the room. “I'm sorry I can't move, these little guys just fell asleep on me and I didn't want to wake them up,” he smiled.
“Makoto,” Haruka said softly, “what did you do again?”
Haruka was used to his boyfriend's … eccentricities (and mother instinct) but it never went this far before.
Makoto looked away. “I may have accidentally sort of adopted five cats …”
“Makoto …” He sighed.
“But I was lonely Haru!” His boyfriend complained, “you were gone for almost a month! I was overflowing with affection but didn't know to whom I could give it … And I was lonely too!” There it was, Makoto's sad puppy face. “And before I realized it, I had adopted these cute little babies.”
“Makoto, we can't keep them.”
“B-but …” Makoto's bottom lip quivered and tears were forming in the corner of his eyes. Haruka hated this face, it made him weak and impossible to resist his boyfriend. “It's their home now! They are our babies!”
“Makoto, they aren't.” Haruka was so tired, he just wanted to sleep now.
“Yes they are!” He retorted. “I even named them! This one is Haru-chan,” he pointed at each cat, “this one is Haru-kun and you have Haru-pon and Haru-chi. And the last one is Godzilla!”
“Are you serious?” Haruka was completely lost now. How could his boyfriend believe that these cats could be their children? Why did he name them like Haruka? And why Godzilla? He really liked his boyfriend but sometimes – most of the time – his innocence (or was it stupidity?) was too much.
Makoto noticed Haruka's worried expression and quickly tried to reassure him.
“Don't worry Haru, you'll always be my number one!”
