xp: kippei and kii (shinji's kitten)

[shattermelt]

Kippei was still annoyed, though he still didn't know if he was more annoyed with himself or the cat. Possibly he should have paid more attention to it in the past, and then he might know it well enough to know the answers to Shinji's questions. If it had as much of a personality as Shinji said it did, then it shouldn't matter that they didn't 'speak the same language', as it were.

Shinji fell asleep soon after and Kippei wasn't really surprised; he figured crying like that could wear you out pretty quick, which did not make him any happier with himself for having precipitated it. Or the kitten, for that matter. He sighed, looking over at where the fluffball was curled up against Shinji's side, and reached over to poke it gently.

"Hey, you," he whispered, trying to keep his voice and thoughts quiet to avoid waking Shinji. How were you meant to talk to a cat when you couldn't read it's mind?

Kii thought Shinji was wrong. Kippei wasn't a cat he was a dog. Loyal to a fault and running in circles trying to catch his own tail. There he was again, coming full circle back to jealousy. Kii simply went back to being a smug little cat, swishing his fluffy tail, thrilled that he apparently made Kippei jealous.
