Kitsu's tail and ears drooped,filling her eyes with tears.
"But I thought…You would be my blood donor for the rest of your life."She starts crying trying to cover her face.
Kael felt fluttered.Does she really want to be with me for the rest of her life?Should i propose her would she think that i am weird?What should i do now I can't resist seeing her cry.Kael holds her hands and wipes her tears.
Kitsu looks up to him with a glimmer of hope. "Kitsu do you really want to be with me for the rest of your life?" Kael asked still being hesitant if he was able to interpret what she said correctly.
Kitsu felt the warmth again and looked in his eyes with teary eyes. "I thought you were also enjoying being around me."
Kaels expression softens.He hugs her. "I didn't say i am not enjoying it.It's just i have to go my father will start looking for me if i don't return tomorrow." Kael looked at her as she snuggled closer to him.
"I can conceal us with magic,you won't have to worry about anyone else."
Kael looked at her and gave it a thought.That could be great but still he can't do that kind of an insolency after they take care of him for so long.Even if they are pushing him to marry as fast as possible he knows they don't actually have bad intentions towards him he knows they still love him.Kael turned his gaze towards her.
"I can't do that to my parents Kitsu I am sorry.However I still have one solution to the matter but I am not sure if you will accept it or not."Kael kept rubbing her back trying to calm her down.
Kitsu looked at him with hope and asked:
"What is it."
Kael looked in her eyes still being unsure if he will be able to take that big of a responsibility.
He caressed her cheek,pulled her closer.
"My father has been forcing me to get married to someone in order to being a heir to the world before he passes away.He wants to be sure about the company's future.So if you would agree to as well,we could you know get married?"
She buried her face to his chest.Her mind full of thoughts.What will happen if i say yes?Would his father accept me?Should i accept,is this really happening right now?
She looked back at him and saw his eyes full of care and affection.
"I don't know I really haven't been this close to someone before,I am not sure if i am ready for that kind of a relationship."Kael's face fell down.I guess she is right we don't even know each other properly.This comes to an end i guess.He felt defeated.
"However that seems to be the only solution,I think we could at leas …try?"
Kael's eyes shined with hope and joy he quickly lift her up holding her from her armpits and starting spinning around himself laughing. "Thank you Kitsu,you can't know how happy I am right now.Thank you"
Her eyes widened up as he lift her up and spinning but she felt happy and started laughing as well still being deeply hooked to his laugh.Maybe I made the right choice.She thinks.
Kael suddenly stops and starts thinking about something. "How will we explain your tails,ears,claws and fangs to them."She laughed even more to him being serious a second after laughing as much. "Don't worry i can shapeshift into a human." as she put a warm smile to her face.Kael smiles back at her and hugs her again.Still wondering if his father will accept her to be his bride.For a while they don't say anything and just close their eyes with the warmth of each other.
"So, this means you'll also be my blood donor, right? You'll let me drink your blood whenever I want?" Kitsu asked playfully, her eyes full of mischief
Kael's heart melted looking at her cuteness she looks so cute when worried. "Of course,I will be your husband after all."
Kitsu buries her face back to his chest.Husband.She got excited with the thought of getting married.She still couldn't believe he was going to marry the man she just got close to for drinking his blood two days ago.She started inhaling his smell while wiggling her tail.
Kael looked at her tail and slowly touched it with curiosity.Is it like a normal body part does she control it to her will or is it just moving with instincts.Kitsu froze as he touched her tail and let out a soft moan. "Kael please…It's really sensitive there."
Kael looked at her struggling with his touc he immediately withdrew his hand. "Sorry I didn't know."
Kitsu smiled shyly. "You don't have to be sorry just I wasn't expecting."
Kael looked at her again being in his arms it felt so good to be like this with her.He slowly turned his eyes to the windows as they were still covered with curtains.He gently moved her aside,moved to the window and opened the curtains and got shocked as he saw it scompletely dark outside.Just how long have they been cuddling each other.
He turned his eyes to the girl sitting on the bed looking at him with curiosity. "Should we eat dinner it seems like we didn't notice the time."
Kitsu felt an emptiness as he gently moved her aside,breaking their embrace.She kept watching him as he walked through the window and opened the curtains.She was trying to understand what was he trying to do.
She felt happy as she heard his suggestion and started jumping. "Yes what will we eat can we eat meat again?I really liked it when you grilled it last night."
Kael chuckled at her childlike excitement. "Okay we can have meat but not grilled this time i will cook you something different." Kael opened the freezer and took out some meat,some peppers,tomatoes,garlic cloves and one large onion.
He started chopping the onion and looked back at her she was watching him carefully next to him as he was preparing the dinner.He kissed her on top of her head and kept preparing the dinner.She couldn't endure anymore and asked:
"What are you cooking Kael."
"It's saç kavurma its just some kind of sautéed meat you will like it"She nodded and kept watching him.
He choppes the onion,peppers,tomatoes into small pieces and minced the garlic.He took out a large pan(the pan is called saç especially made for this dish)he keeps that pan here as he always cook saç kavurma when he comes here.He heated the pan and add some oil.He started dicing the meat as the pan was heating up and once its hot he out the meat in it.He cooked until the meat released its juice and browned slightly.He add the chopped onions and garlic to the pan.He stirred and cooked it until the onions softened then added the green peppers and continued stirring for a few minutes.As the peppers softened he add the tomatoes and mixed everything cooking them until tomatoes turns into a light sauce.He sprinkled some black pepper,salt and red pepper flakes.He lowered the heat and let it simmer as he turned back at her.
Kitsu kept watching him as he prepared the dinner his movements were fast yet precise.Kitsu prepared the table as he was still cooking.
Kael kissed her forehead once again and plated the saç kavurma to her plate. "Remember,you have to use the fork this time."as he handed her the fork.
She sighed. "Fine."
They both ate their dinner with silence.
Yet, despite the quiet, one thought echoed in both of their minds: I'm falling for her/him.
