A loud purring could be heard from the neko as he sat up, pulling the boy into his lap. Of course Aiden had grown quite abit, but Rasiel didn't care. He was just content with holding the other. He nuzzled closed, happy that his master returned his affection.

"I've been bored all day. I even finished a book. I know that isn't some great feat for you, but you know how I detest the thins. But this one was really good. It was about a little prince and I couldn't help but find it charming."

Now Rasiel was just talking to talk. He had been by himself all day and it felt great talking to something that wasn't his reflection or thin air. It had actually made him feel a little insane wandering around the house by himself. And it happened every time Aiden went off to school.

Aiden heard the sound of quick footfalls coming up the hall toward him and the clatter of chained metal. E smiled at the thought of seeing Rasiel after such a horrible day, and before he could finish his thought he felt arms wrapping themselves around his body, and he felt the air coming at him as they were falling.
“Oof” he felt the wind knocked out of him and heard a string of words almost too fast and dramatic to understand. He smiled as he felt the pleasant pressure and warmth of the Neko on top of him, in an embrace. And he couldn’t stop himself from laughing at the way he acted. Running to him as he got home, more like a dog than a cat, always dramatic and affectionate.
He wrapped his arms around Rasiel tightly, as if it would send the a clearer message of how much he’d missed the other male. He sighed contently, at the end of his laughter, bringing his face to be nestled in the crook of the Neko’s neck, saving the questions for later answering. He didn’t want to disturb his enjoyment wit silly things like speaking.

Rasiel had heard the security alarm shut off momentarily. He hadn't wanted to get his hopes up, but when he looked at the clock he saw that it was time for Aiden to get home. Biting his lip, he jumped off the bed and ran from the room. He heard the distant call of a 'I'm hoooome', and his heart almost skipped a beat.

The neko was wearing a light yellow shirt with a dark blue bunny on the chest and his usual low ride black jeans. His belts were slung loosely around his waist, and necklaces clinked together as he ran. He wasn't wearing any socks, and his neko ears were pierced twice as much as they had been several years ago.

Sliding around the curve of the hall way, an excited expression came over his determined face. "Aiden!" He shouted. He glopmed the boy, holding him close to his chest as they both fell to the ground. "I've missed you so much! I hate this whole school thing. Do you understand how awful it is? Why can't I go with you!?" he questioned like rapid fire, wrapping his tail around the teal haired boy.

Aiden tugged his pack out of the back seat, sighing as he finally freed it from the tangle of the seatbelt, and headed on his way to the front door, not bothering to wave good bye to the driver, who would already be gone. He’s first day of grade 7 hadn’t gone horribly. It was average he supposed, it was just trying, to act like a rich selfish brat all day, he was alone, at the very most 20% rich selfish and bratty. And the other 80% of himself hated all of his classmates, even his teachers.
He could always be home schooled, really his parent probably wouldn’t even have cared if he decided not to deal with school all together.
But Aiden was lured bye the Academy’s extensive library. In his younger days he was only driven to the library of his home because it reminded him of his grandmother. But over the years it all came down to the fact that he had formed into quite the book worm.
The lankly boy pulled on the door’s knob impatiently, waiting for the security camera’s facial recognition system to open up the damned thing. He stepped into the entrance hall, with a slightly relieved slightly wistful sigh. Sometimes he felt like just staying home with Rasiel. Like during the summer days. It wasn’t just that he felt bad leaving him all to his lonesome in the massive eerie house, he missed him. He just did.
“I’m hooooome,” he called out to nobody, since his voice probably wouldn’t drift as far as whichever room Rasiel was in. He slung his backpack over the arms one of the couch. Going on to look for his pet cat. Checking first in his room.

((I lost the older Aiden URL, do you still have it? D:))

Rasiel had heard the boy coming down the hall, but only lifted his head when he heard him run and he couldn't help but wonder how his knee was fairing. He felt small arms around his waist and then a fountain of words spouted from the boy's mouth. Rasiel could barely keep up with what was being said and some of the words even seemed jumbled, but the neko was pretty sure he caught the jist of it.
Smiling, he picked the boy up and placed him in his lap, lightly pushing back his wet teal hair.
"Of course we can be friends. And I am sorry. I shouldn't have just started washing you like that and then just drop you not even a minute later. I guess, well, I dun't really know boundaries. I'm used to doing what I want in my little glass box." He exhaled slowly before hugging the boy tight.

(time skip?)

Aiden felt the water slosh around him as he fell back into the tub, and a aching guilt burning through him as Rasiel trudged out, looking hurt, and sounding the same.
“Ah.” Aiden wanted to say wait, and sorry and other things he couldn’t form into whole words or sentences. But he felt his tongue was numb and his mind blank.
He’d only met the Neko that same day, but he felt bad… He didn’t know why but the guilt was heavier then he’d felt for anybody in his life before. He bit down on his lip and washed himself quickly, not caring if he used the wrong kind of soap of got shampoo in his eyes. He scrubbed and rinsed not thinking about anything but getting out of the tub already. He didn’t know how as going to apologize yet but he felt like he needed to. He pulled the drain from the tub as he stepped out and rubbed the towel over himself, drying off about halfway before he pulled on his pajamas and headed out to look for Rasiel.
The Neko was in the first place he check and he wasn’t sure whether or not he was glad of it. He took a breath and walked into the doorway, taking a moment to think.
Rasiel was sitting on the bed, with an unreadable expression and s slumped posture.
He looked up as Aiden walked in and the boy gave him no chance to say anything as he ran towards the Neko.
He knelt at the side of the bed and wrapped his arms around the cats waist, he rested his head against his thigh and closed his eyes readying to apologize.
The words came surprisingly easily and so he just spoke.
“I’m sorry if I made you feel bad or anything, or if I as mean I just… I don’t know I just felt embarrassed, to me… you’re like me, I don’t mean the same age but you’re not my nanny, you’re my friend… I did need help, and thank you… but I just didn’t … I didn’t talk to the people who would do that stuff like bathe me, they didn’t want to talk to me and so we didn’t I didn’t really know them, they helped me but just cause they had too. They left when they could and just did they were supposed to like a machine or something, like they didn’t care. But I don’t wana be like that with you… I want us to be friends… If you have to do that kind of stuff for me won’t you not like me?” He held his breath as he listened in waiting. He hoped he’d made sense, and he hoped he wouldn’t be mad.

Rasiel looked at the smaller male and a frown came over his face. He could tell the boy was troubled a warm smile came over his face. Gently, he pulled Aiden over to the side of the tub and pulled the rag from the boy's hand. Bringing him up, he pressed the aqua child's back against his chest, getting her shirt wet in a matter of moments.
Holding him around his stomach, he slowly washed lower, washing his outer and lower legs before progressing any higher.

(should we take this to pms?)

Aiden nodded and thanked Rasiel as he drained some of the water and replaced wht plug again.
"Sorry," He said in reply to the sigh and gave an apologetic grin. He wasn't sure how to ask for help about washing his back. So he decided he'd just let it be, ho dirty did his back get anyway? It was always covered by a shirt anyway.
He'd washed most of his upper body and just needed to move along so the awkwardness of sitting naked there with Rasiel in the room. But he found he couldn't even rest his hand on his naked knee under water.. he didn't know why he just didn't, coudln't He didn't know what would be more embarrasing Rasiel washing his lower half, or him washing his lower half with the man right there.
All he did was sit there. He didn't move or talk, he just blinked and breathed. His mind caught in quite a dilema.

Rasiel heard his name and in aninstant was at the tub side, kneeling in a puddle of water that had formed on the floor from perviously. He quickly turned the knobs, the water sputtering and then dying. He looking into the tub and sighed slightly.
"Hold on, kay?" he questioned as he removed his jacket, tossing it aside. Now he was just in his short sleeved shirt and he plunged his arm into the water, pulling the plug so some of the water could be released.
