Theme #7

Biting

Written by: AyumiNazu

     It jumped onto my lap and purred when it got stroked by my hand and comfortably scratched behind the ears. Karupin was such a tame kitty, or at least, when I was around. I loved its soft white fur and the patch of brown on its face, paws as well as its fluffy brown ears and tail. When I played with Karupin, I could hardly believe how I used to be so afraid of cats!

     Ryoma walked into his room and saw Karupin, taking advantage of my presence to get a good scratch, ignoring his rightful owner when he came in and called out to him.

     I giggled when Karupin licked my ear. I was quite ticklish incase you didn’t know, “Karupin, that’s tickles~”

     “Karupin!” Ryoma called out to it again.

     His pet only did a ‘hmph’ type of ignoring gesture and turned its back towards him. Despite the fact that Karupin was one of him most treasured possessions, its attitude definitely got Ryoma slightly ticked.

     “Come here!”

     It was funny to see Ryoma trying to catch his cat by chasing it around the room. However, as soon as he was able to get it in his arm, it jumped out of his hands, onto his head and leaped away. I couldn’t help but laugh at them for acting so childish and playful. It’s not often you get to see Ryoma so worked up over something, a little out of character if I may add.

Karupin escaped from Ryoma’s bedroom before he was able to catch it again. He sighed and sat down next to me on his bed to calm his speeded heart beat.

     I smiled at his fatigue, slouchy posture, “Tehe~”

     “What?” he looked up, staring into my eyes, sounding slightly disturbed of my teasing chuckle.

     “It’s nothing.”

     Then the leaned forward, close enough so that I could fell his breath on my face. My heart skipped a beat, what was he going to do? I felt my face burn, turning pastel pink. For a second, I thought he was going to kiss me, like he always did out of the blue, but he didn’t. Instead, he went past my face, to the side of my head and whispered in my ear, “I wanted to try that too.”

     I had not the slightest idea what he was saying. When I felt him lightly bite me ear, I gasped. I quickly slid back, covering my ear with my hand.

     “W-what are you doing?!”

     “You let Karupin do it,” he looked away annoyed as though his pet got more of a privilege than he did.

     There was this awkward silent moment between us, but it didn’t last long before Ryoma broke the silence, “I don’t like it when someone gets to be closer to you than I do.”

     I was almost sure of it, he was unconsciously jealous of his cat. Perhaps playing with Karupin too much and letting it sit on my lap and such caused disturbance to Ryoma, he was a little over protective. Karupin was a male feline after all.

     He leans in for another nibble on my ear, this time wrapping his arms around me so that I wouldn’t run away. He wasn’t expecting laughs of tickling sensations, but of a more pleasurable feeling when he when from my ears to my neck, stopping at times knowing that it was all too much for me to handle without panicking.

     “Just a bit more,” he whispered.

     I couldn’t escape his grip no matter how much I struggled during his teases. If only my ears I’ll give them to him. I was his and return, he gave me all himself, it was a fair trade...
