Mwahahahahahahha. Again, here’s an AU where Shirazu is also 100% alive.
“Saiko, you can’t.” Hsaio hurries after her fellow Quinx.
“Watch me!” Saiko holds the cat closer to her chest. “Look how fluffy its cheeks are! Urie’s keeping it, whether he wants to or not.”
Hsaio sighs, but lets Saiko into the Chateau.
Higemaru must have super-senses, because he races downstairs before Saiko has even removed her shoes. “Meow! Meow! I love it!”
“We saw it fishing through garbage on our walk. It’s homeless,” Hsaio explains.
Higemaru shrieks with joy as Aura stumbles out of his room, a dazed expression on his face. “What are we all excited about?”
Saiko holds out the cat Lion-King style. “Look, San-chan!”
A vast array of possibilities open before Aura; reading with it purring on his lap, taking it fishing, having fur to bury his face in when he needs to cry.
For Saiko, the delight on her fellow Quinx’s face is enough reason to keep the creature.
Mutsuki and Shirazu hurry in.
“Oh!” squeaks Mucchan.
Shirazu wrestles it from Saiko. “Can I pat it?”
“You just stole it,” Saiko replies dryly.
“’Pat me.’” He imitates its voice and holds the creature out to Mutsuki, who swallows nervously.
His palms sweat. They don’t know, but he does, and he hates it.
Still, he pats the cat, and it purrs, like it doesn’t think he’s gross. Mutsuki’s eyes mist.
“What’s it’s name?”
“Not what Saiko wants,” Hsaio says sharply.
“Saiko wants it named Furruta Purruta,” says Saiko.
Higemaru bursts into laughter. “Perfect.”
“Purrfect,” Shirazu corrects.
The Chateau door opens, and Urie Kuki strolls in. He freezes when he sees his entire squad gathered in the hall, holding a fat black cat.
“Meet Furruta Purruta,” Mutsuki jokes.
“I hate you all,” Urie says, but this time, he’s grinning.
