The way you love me [private for me and MsJacobL]

At the question Akira touched his chin and flinched. 'They both still hurts.. but just a bit.' After few moments he added, looking inside the oven. 'Only twenty minutes? And then we could it them?' He wrote that with his eyes glued to the oven, fascinated.

Young cat looked at Josh with it's yellow eyes. Sniffing his hand he let him to get closer.

Nodding slowly, Sangre looked from Akira’s throat to the gauze along his chin and jaw. “That’s better than before.” He smiled lightly, looking back at the oven and nodding his head yet again. “Yep. The heat will make them rise, it’ll be fluffy and moist, very good.” Sangre smiled and went back to Harumi, his arm wrapping around her waist yet again only to make the woman flush happily.
“How did you like the icecream? I noticed one was missing and I assumed you and Master took it.” Sangre chuckled.

Noticing that the small animal didn’t run away, Josh smiled and placed his hands very carefully under it’s belly. “Okay, I’m going to pick you up.” he whispered, knowing of course a cat can’t understand English but hoped it would sooth him or her when he did.
As gently as he could, Josh tucked his hands under the young cats body, smiling once he held it against his chest, tucking one hand under it’s body while the other rested against the back for support.
“Let me bring you inside.” Josh muttered while making his way straight to the kitchen, walking a little faster than usual, not wanting the young animal to stay in this state for a second longer, hoping to feed it and give it some water due to how starved and dehydrated it seemed to be. For a split second, Josh was reminded of when he met Akira in a similar state.

Akira sat down before the oven looking at the cupcakes, wanting to see them 'rise'. When he heard the question he nodded, looking at Sangre. 'It was really good. Are there other flavors of icecreams?'

Cat just stayed in Josh's arms. It seemed it was used to the people. That and it was quite weak right now.

Keeping himself leaning against the counter beside the lovely gardener, Sangre nodded his head and focused momentarily on the oven as well. “I’m glad you like it. And heck yes, there are too many to name. Chocolate chip, double chocolate, mint, coffee, pistachio. I have to get us some more for you to try.” Sangre smiled.

Petting the cats small head, Josh was nearly breathless by the time he got to the kitchen, jogging through the doors before walking towards the inside of the kitchen where the other three were. Once inside, Josh spoke up, hoping to get some attention focused on him.
“Can someone help? Please….I need some water, and maybe fish?” Josh asked as he sat on the ground, putting the small cat in his lap and inspecting it closely. Josh’s left cheek was still really red from the slap earlier, although he was fine overall. Noticing how it’s tail was almost completely gone, Josh frowned and then touched his paw, seeing it was damaged as well.

Harumi was the first to react, rushing towards the fridge to get the food. “Sangre, do you have fish?”

“Freshwater salmon…yes.” The chef spoke while looking at the cat. Usually the salmon would be for Josh only, it was hard to get and rather expensive, but he knew Master would rather give the cat salmon instead of allowing it to starve.
Josh looked over at Akira, a slight frown still present on his face as he did. “Can you get water. Please.”

[zajawa]

'I would really like to taste them all. If that's possible of course.' Turning back to oven he saw the cupcakes rised a bit already. Though he jumped when he heard masters voice almost over him. He turned around. The first thing he saw was the black thing.. cat?.. in masters hands. Then he saw the red place on others male face. He nodded and stood up. Akira got small bowl and filled it with water. When it was ready he looked at master, not knowing where to put it. On the floor?

[RedRose4]

While the other two helped, Josh looked at Akira, relieved to see him after the last half hour of being away from him. Once he got the water, Josh spoke to tell him what to do. “Just put it in front of me on the ground, that’s fine Akira.”
Sangre helped Harumi prep the salmon, making it into small flakes and thankfully finding some fresh tuna to use as well. Harumi brought another bowl over with the fish, placing it in front of Josh and looking at the cat momentarily. “Where did you find him?” she wondered.

Josh softly placed the cat in front of the fish to see if it would eat before looking at Harumi. “Outside…I was went out to try and relax, and then I heard a meow.” he stated while petting the animal. “Seems tame. Must have had a family once.” he sighed with another grimace.

Akira put bowl on the ground and then looked at the white cat when it was placed on the floor. Squatting he observed the creature, not really knowing what to do. Looking at master he the asked. 'Can I touch it? And what happened to your cheek, Master?' Gluing his eyes to the red spot on Josh's cheek he waited for the answer.

[RedRose4]

Josh softly stroked the animals back, wondering what gender it was, and trying to think of a name for it. He used to have a cat when he was really young, but that was a long time ago. Thankfully now he knew how to care for one, although the litter box and cat toys were in storage…he’d have to get them later.

Looking back at Akira, Josh read what he wrote and nodded first, although slightly frowned from his last question. “Go ahead, pet him…or her all you like. And…” Josh sighed, putting a hand to his cheek and feeling it was a bit warmer than usual, although it didn’t sting like it did before. “Elizabeth. She didn’t take the news very well.” he mumbled so the others couldn’t hear.

[zajawa]

'Shouldn't there be books how to distinguish of what gender is cat?' Petting small, white head he flinched when he heard it purring, not knowing if he maybe did something wrong. Though it started to eat so.. probably no, right? Then he looked at Josh questioningly. 'What news, Master? Did she hit you?' Akira looked wide eyed at Josh. He was almost sure it was from a slap.. because from what else it could be?

[RedRose4]

Josh chuckled lightly and looked back down at the animal. “Actually it’s pretty easy to tell…just look down there and you‘ll know.” Josh kept petting the cat a few times before drawing his hand back while it ate. “But I’ll wait for him to eat before I do that.”
Akira’s next question made Josh hesitate, taking a deep breath and answering with a shake of his head. “I told her we have to call off the wedding. She wasn’t happy…accused me of being with another woman. And yes, she slapped me but I’m fine.” Josh mumbled lowly.
