Work Text:
Kazuha had finally gotten home after a long day of work at his office job. Although he was glad for his supportive workplace, it could be tiring, just like most jobs. His company was working on a huge project recently, so he had to stay late with his coworkers to work on it. For most of the co-workers his age, it was fine, they even went for drinks after, but… they don’t have a cat hybrid whose favourite activity is to torture him. Kazuha pulled out the keys to his apartment and tried to open the door as quietly as he could. He was really hoping the hybrid was asleep. He took his shoes off and quietly walked through the kitchen and hung up his coat. Just as he was about to take a breath of relief, he was jumped.
He was tackled to the ground from behind, followed by hissing and sharp teeth attaching his neck, and not in a romantic way. A very rough and painful way. He tried to save himself vocally, “Please, Scaramouche, get off!” he said,d trying to sound commanding. Scaramouche pressed his knee into his back, “Where were you?” he said with annoyance in his voice. “ I promise I didn’t want to stay out so late, but my boss needed a project done,” he tried to explain sincerely. That clearly didn’t work because Scaramouche started choking him with his thighs. Eventually, with a lot of struggle, Kazuha was able to contain the naughty kitty at his armpits as he hissed and struggled. Kazuha sighed. He hoped maybe, just maybe, Scaramouche was feeling loving today. Instead, he got an even worse backache and scratches that burned like hell. “ Scaramouche, calm down, this is ridiculous, I'm only 3 hours late,” he said now, just as maybe even more annoyed. “Whenever I come home, you usually just run away whenever I try to hug you,u so why are you so upset?” he continued, settling Scaramouche down on the bathroom counter. He then looked in the cabinets for medical supplies.
He took his shirt off, threw it at Scara’s head, and started to clean his scratches. Scaramouche took the shirt off and threw it on the ground with a flick of his tail. Once Kazuha finished, he put his shirt back on, Didd you eat yet?” he asked while walking down the hall. Scaramouche shook his head no. Kazuha looked at him and sighed. He couldn’t help it and hugged him. Scara tensed at first, but then leaned into it. He even let out a small purr. Kazuha picked him up and brought him to the kitchen. He sat him down at the dining table and started to make mac and cheese, something quick and easy that didn’t require many brain cells. Once it was cooked, Kazuha scooped it into two bowls, one for him and one for his cat. Scaramouche smelled it first before picking up his fork and taking a few bites. Kazuha also ate some of his dinner after making sure Scara was eating.
Once they both finished eating, they walked to their bedroom. They were both clearly exhausted. Kazuha quickly changed out of his work clothes into a T-shirt and shorts. He got into bed and patted the spot next to him for Scaramouche to join him. The hybrid crawled on the bed and lay down next to him. “ I’m sorry I came home late”, Kazuha said softly, rubbing Scaramouche’s cheek. Scaramouche purrs into his hand. Kazuha smiled and kissed his cheek, “ I promise I will come home early tomorrow and we can go walking to that ice cream place you like,” he said encouragingly. Scaramouche nods and snuggles closer to Kazuha.
Next Morning
Kazuha wakes up to a weight on his body and a hand swatting his face. He groans and opens his eyes to see Scaramouche sitting on him. “ Good morning, Scaramouche,” he says,s sleepiness still in his voice. He repositions Scaramouche so he can sit up. He stood and stretched, “ I'm going to go take a shower, can you set some clothes out for me?” he said, hoping Scaramouchee would be in a helpful mood this morning. Scaramouche nodded with a flick of his tail. Kazuha patted his head, then headed to the washroom. Scaramouche started to go through the closet, pulling out a dress shirt, pants, a tie, a cardigan, etc. Once Kazuha got out of the steamy bathroom, he started getting dressed while Scaramouche watched him on the bed shamelessly.
They both headed to the kitchen, and Kazuhaa started making enough toast for both of them. Once they finished eating, Kazuha got his things together for work. Kazuha kissed Scaramouche’s forehead, “ I will see you after work, okay,y kitty?” Scaramouche nodded and hugged him. Kazuha smiled and returned the hug before walking out the door and locking it.
After Work
Kazuha had fulfilled his promise and somehow got his boss to let him off early. He got on the next bus and went straight home. He unlocked the door and stepped inside, closing the door behind him. He slipped his shoes off and called out to his cat. “ Scaramouche, I’m home!” Silence echoed through the compartment before the sound of sock feet padded closer. He peeked at him from the doorway out of the kitchen and slowly walked closer to him. Kazuha sighed, “Scaramouche, how are you still not dressed? You're still wearing the same sweater and shorts you were wearing yesterday.” Scaramouche rolled his eyes at that,t genuinely not giving a crap. Kazuha threw him over his shoulder and took him to get ready.
It was pure bloodshed…
Anyways! Once Kazuha finally finished getting Scaramouche ready, he took him outside to walk to a small ice cream parlor that was close to their apartment. Kazuha got strawberry ice cream, and Scaramouche got chocolate. They found a bench nearby and ate together. “ Is your ice cream good?” Kazuha asked light-heartedly. Scaramouche nodded and leaned in to kiss him. Kazuha smiled and leaned in as well to make the kiss more comfortable. Kazuha cringed slightly after. Scaramouche tilted his head, “What’s wrong?” Kazuha laughed and kissed his cheek. “ Just a brain freeze.”
