(Shino Asada)

The next few mornings I didn't wake up alone like I usually would.

Kazuto and Sugu gladly took me in their home for a few days. Sugu's mom, Midori, seems nice. They didn't want me to be so alone in that apartment for a while.

Not after what I've been through. It would be inappropriate to sleep in the same room as Kazuto but being light on his toes, he managed to sleep by my side every night.

The door creaked open. Speaking of the devil.  I look towards the bedroom door and saw a foot softly step inside followed by another and a dark silhouette walked in. It walked into the small amount of light the room had, revealing his face.

"You're early tonight," I whispered, he grinned and slipped under the sheets next to me, laying on his side, staring back.

"I couldn't wait any longer," he admitted with a shy grin. I shook my head.

"Impatient," I retorted, he merely chuckled and nodded.

He slowly wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into a embrace, as he rested his chin at the top of my head.

I shut my eyes and nuzzled closer, trying to collect as much warmth from him as I possibly can.

"Guess what came in the mail this morning?" He mumbled. I sighed.

"You barely ask me now? At the end of the day?" I smiled and would've shook my head if he wasn't resting his chin on it.

"I barely opened it before we went to bed, smart ass," he teased.

"You got that right. What was it?" I mumbled under my breath, just enough for him to hear me. He took some time to respond.

"A wedding invitation," I heard his voice say. I opened my eyes and looked up at him and he had a small smile.

"Asuna's wedding, if it wasn't obvious already," he murmured. I rested my head back down on the pillow.

"Oh, I see," I was a bit jealous. That Asuna would be getting married. I blushed. The only reason I was jealous was because I felt like I wanted to. The blush only got worse. Thank God Kazuto's eyes were closed.

"Why are you blushing?" He asked. My eyes widen and I looked up. His eyes were still closed.

"How did you-" I was interrupted.

"I felt your body get increasingly hotter at a fast pace, it was pretty much a safe bet," he smirked. I merely scowled. Hmmph.

"Who's the smart ass again?" I grumbled and he laughed lightly and kissed the top of my head.

"Still you, but seriously, what's with the blush?" He opened his eyes and looked down at me, caressing the hair that was shielding my eyes from his view.

He stared at my red cheeks, I just knew he was, and he smiled in satisfaction.

"No reason," I stuttered.

"Mhmm," he mumbled, with a smirk still on his face.

(Kazuto Kirigaya)

I couldn't help but smile when I saw Shino so flustered like that. She looked so cute with that red tint spreading across her cheeks.

I tried to hold back a chuckle and just held her closer. Although I had some sort of an idea why she would get so flustered. The mention of a wedding, she could be fantasizing of our own.

I grinned at the thought, her in a beautiful white dress. I know it seems all too soon, but I know for sure what I want. And I want to be able to call her mine for the rest of my life.

I want to be selfish, keep her to myself, let no other man kiss her the way I do. Touch her the way I do. Say I love you the way I do. I want to be selfish, I want her to be forever mine.

I surprised myself with these thoughts. But I knew they were only the truth. And an idea occurred to me, along with a wide grin forming on my lips.

"What are you smiling so big about?" She snapped me out of my thoughts. Her piercing eyes stare into mine, she examined me, waiting. I merely shrugged it off and held her closer.

"Just the thought of you makes me smile, so being in your presence makes my smile even wider," I replied. She rolled her eyes and her smile only grew.

"I think I just choked on some cheese," she teased before she nuzzled close.

"But, I feel the same," she muttered, closing her eyes. I sighed contently with this one thought occurring in my mind.

Will you be forever mine?

If I still have a audience, then hello! If not then I'm probably talking myself... Hm...

Now I know I've been slacking lately. And I can't say sorry enough, nor will I try to excuse my absence in writing this.

But here's a little teaser to give you a look on where we are so far, and what's next in store.

My greatest apologies for any reader who has been waiting patiently for a new chapter and hopefully you'll hear from me very often.

Thank you for not rushing me, waiting patiently, being understanding and not forcefully demanding I do more.

I love all my readers, thank you for journeying this far in Be My Kitty.

Until next time,
