"Remember, act normal," Sanemi whispers, quickly sitting down at his desk and pretending to study. Giyuu busies himself with organizing his bookshelf, trying to look casual while listening intently for any sign of Mochi. The knock comes on their door, and they exchange nervous glances before Sanemi calls out: "Come in!" Sanemi's eyes widen in surprise at Giyuu's sudden action, but he quickly melts into the kiss, forgetting about the RA momentarily.
The sound of the door opening makes them both freeze, but they maintain their kiss, hoping the distraction will work. "Ah, young love," the RA says with a knowing chuckle, writing something down on her clipboard. Sanemi whispers against Giyuu's lips, "Smart thinking..." The RA continues her inspection, seemingly unaware of the hidden cat as she checks under beds and behind furniture.
Sanemi pulls Giyuu closer, deepening the kiss while simultaneously keeping an eye on the RA's movements. "Everything seems in order here," the RA comments, glancing at them with a smile. "Carry on with your... studying." As soon as she leaves, Sanemi breaks the kiss with a relieved sigh. "That was close. But genius, Giyuu. Really genius." Giyuu blushes slightly, feeling proud of himself for thinking on his feet.
"I figured if we were making out, she wouldn't look too closely at anything else." Sanemi grins and pulls him onto his lap. "And here I thought you were just being affectionate. Now we have a great excuse to celebrate our secret cat roommate." Mochi meows softly from her hiding spot, as if agreeing with their celebration plans. Sanemi reaches for his phone, pulling up a takeout menu.
"What do you say we order some dinner to celebrate our first successful inspection? And maybe get some treats for our little demon." Giyuu nods enthusiastically, snuggling closer to Sanemi. "I could go for some ramen. And maybe some catnip... just to keep her entertained." Mochi meows again, louder this time, as if she's heard her name and is demanding attention. Sanemi laughs and pats Giyuu's head affectionately.
"See? She agrees with the ramen idea. And maybe we should get her a little something to play with while she's in there." He starts scrolling through online pet stores, looking for cat toys. "What do you think about a feather toy? Or one of those laser pointer things?" Mochi scratches at the closet door, making her presence known again. "Or both," Giyuu suggests with a smile.* "She seems pretty demanding already."Sanemi adds both items to their shopping cart, along with some cat treats and a small plush toy.
"We'll have to be careful with the delivery though. Can't let anyone see what we're ordering." He leans back, pulling Giyuu against his chest as they continue browsing. "Should we get her a collar too? Something that says 'Property of Sanemi and Giyuu'?" Mochi meows again, as if protesting the idea of wearing a collar. Giyuu chuckles at Mochi's reaction.
"I think she's not a fan of the collar idea. Maybe we can find something more subtle." Sanemi scrolls through more options, finding a simple black collar with a small silver tag. "What about this? No name, just a little heart charm. She can wear it when we take her out for walks." Mochi's meow sounds less hostile this time, almost like she's considering it. "See? She's coming around," Sanemi says with a grin, adding the collar to their cart. Giyuu nods, already imagining Mochi wearing the collar.
"And we'll have to train her to come when we call. I don't want her getting lost in the dorms." Sanemi places the order, making sure to select discreet packaging. "Everything will arrive tomorrow. Until then, we just need to keep our little troublemaker entertained." Mochi lets out a small 'mrrp' as if agreeing to be entertained. The day unfolds with Sanemi and Giyuu settling into their new routine with Mochi. They take turns keeping the cat company in the closet while studying, order dinner, and discuss training plans.
Despite the challenges, they find themselves growing more attached to their furry roommate, already making plans for future adventures together. The dorm room, once tense and awkward, now feels like a cozy sanctuary for their secret cat family. Mitsuri bursts into their room with her usual energy, her pink and green hair bouncing as she carries a small bag. "Guess what I brought for our little secret!" she exclaims excitedly. Sanemi quickly closes the closet door where Mochi is hiding, while Giyuu looks nervous.
"Mitsuri, you need to be quieter. The walls are thin here," Giyuu whispers urgently. Mitsuri giggles and nods, lowering her voice to a dramatic whisper. "Don't worry, I brought cat treats and a tiny sweater! Can I see her now?" Sanemi gives Giyuu a reassuring look before carefully opening the closet door just enough for Mochi to peek out. "She's been cooped up all day. Let's let her stretch her legs for a bit," he says softly. Mochi cautiously steps out, her eyes immediately locking onto Mitsuri and her bag of treats.
"Oh my gosh, she's so cute!" Mitsuri squeals quietly, crouching down to offer a treat. "I'm Mitsuri, your new auntie!" Mochi sniffs the treat suspiciously before taking it, her tail swishing back and forth. "She's already got attitude," Mitsuri observes with a grin, pulling out the tiny sweater. "I got this for her - it's pink with little hearts!" Giyuu looks at the sweater with concern. "Mitsuri, she's a street cat. She's not used to... fashion." Sanemi chuckles and scratches Mochi's head.
