An Ancient Feud (Private, 18+)

[virtualoo]

“Enough of the pouting love” Tenmo smiled as he watched Ren as a panther go help the kitten onto the couch. He will see if they were ready with these few days with the kitten and some time getting used to the world. The kitten looked down from the edge of the couch before jumping all over the furniture. “And if it will get you to stop pouting, sure I’ll wear bunny ears” He sighed with a soft smile,knowing it would probably be like the bows

[Sathenus]

He whined again when he was told to stop pouting not wanting to. But there was no point in pressing for a rabbit since he knew if Tenmo really didn't think it was a good idea that it wouldn't happen. Kaine did perk up when Tenmo said he'd wear bunny ears for him. He wasted no time in disappearing for a minute returning with bunny ears from Easter that he always kept because he thought they were cute and wasting no time in putting them on his husband. A bright smile appearing on his face as he found it absolutely adorable.

[virtualoo]

Tenmo raised an eyebrow when Kaine rush’s off quickly, seeing he had come back with a set of bunny ears. It was quick to be put on him, swatting at one of his ears. “Of course you’d have ears lying around” He chuckled as he watched the little kitten stumble off the couch and trying to climb up his pants leg. “Stay on the floor” He told the little one, trying to pick him off but the kitten was holding firm but he was able to release its grip and set it back down by Ren

[Sathenus]

"Just be glad I didn't grab the cute little tail too." Kaine replied happily sitting on the couch beside Tenmo to cuddle up to him. He watched the kitten fall of the couch before trying to climb up his husband's leg. "May be the runt but he's a strong little guy, huh?" He mused seeing as Tenmo had a difficult time removing him. Ren nudged the kitten after it was set down by him liking the small bundle of fur. After a bit more playing Ren had laid down and closed his eyes, the kitten crawling up and laying down on his back.

[virtualoo]

“I think Ren May like kittens” Tenmo smiled as he watched the little kitten curl up on top on Ren. Ash seemed fascinated by the kitten, napping beside Rens out of habit in guarding Ren and now the nameless Kitten that would soon be Otsos. “The next day or so will hopefully help them with responsibility and such” He waved his hand, happy to see the boys looking so cute. Otso will love them..he only wondered after he stopped crying from joy from that and the proposal what he may name it

[Sathenus]

"Well... He did say he wanted one. Not to mention domestic cats are still part of the panther/jaguar family." Kaine replied. He wasn't surprised that Ren had taken to the kitten so quickly. It was different to watch a cat for a few days then it was too actually have one though. "But you do have a point. Watching a kitten for a few days is easier than if we had one permanently. Especially come the full moon. But... does that mean I'll never get a bunny?" He asked. Ren and Ash accepting a kitten full moon or otherwise seemed obvious. A rabbit on the other hand... even with Tenmo it working out was questionable.

[virtualoo]

“You should get someone besides ourselves there if we ever did get a rabbit for the first full moon. Just to entrain in our heads this isn’t food. I remember my dad had said he nearly attacked Solarias the first full moon so it would take a few to break it in this particular rabbit isn’t our snack” Tenmo said with a a small nod. He doesn’t remember board on the island but it was a safe bet. “And that is true about the cat..” He nodded, figuring a cat is similar enough for them

[Sathenus]

"I suppose for now I'll just have to make do with this bunny." Kaine purred poking on of the bunny ears he had Tenmo wearing. "The best bunny." He added with a smile. "They're both really cute with it. If they do well enough maybe we can get them one." Even if a rabbit wasn't a good idea for a pet in this house he could at least agree to get the boys a kitten of their own if they did well while they watched the kitten. Wanting to make sure that they'd actually take care of it. "We'll have to give them each a job to do regarding the kitten to see if they'll do their part in caring for one." Kaine added.

[virtualoo]

“Perhaps in the future a rabbit yes but I will consider a kitten over a rabbit if the boys do well. It might make them more comfortable and help with tasks and basic care while teaching time management” Tenmo did agree, watching as the little kitten stretched on Rens back before crawling under Rens chin. It curled up under there and went back to sleep again with a quiet purr. “You all are so lucky you all are adorable” He sighed with a soft laugh

[Sathenus]

"You have a point. A kitten of their own could be really good for them and teach them a lot of responsibility." Kaine agreed with a nod resting his head on the other's shoulder as they watched the three. Seeing the kitten crawling under Ren's chin to go back to bed had him smiling happily at the pair. "It really is too cute." He said watching then happily. For awhile they stayed like that then there was a knock and Kaine got up to get the door. Bryan waking in with the stuff they'd need for the kitten for the weekend. His eyes feel on the kitten and Ren causing him to smirk a little. Then his gaze moved to Tenmo who was wearing bunny ears and he gave the wolf a curious look. "Let me guess... I opened the can of worms that is Kaine and wanting a bunny?" Bryan asked the wolf. His voice seemed to have woken the kitten who knew that sounds and was scampering across the floor to him. Ren Raising his head to watch it as Bryan set the supplies down before bending down to pet the kitten that was now attacking the bags.

[virtualoo]

"What could have possibly given you that idea?" Tenmos eyes rolled with a small smirk once he saw Bryan had come in mentioning the rabbit. So it was something he had been wanting for awhile..He will have to think about this for the future but maybe start off with a cat if the boys worked well with one. "A lot of stuff for just the weekend, unless its also basic stuff for when Otso gets it" He questioned, watching the kitten attack the bags. It was either having a lot of fun or just liked the sound..or both.

[Sathenus]

"In my defense nothing ever stood in the way of him getting one. He just never has." Bryan replied with a chuckle. "Cute ears though." He teased before pulling the kitten away from the bags and returning it to Ren who was more than happy to distract the tiny cat. "Both, basic stuff for Otso which I'll have set up in the room that afternoon while he's distracted by the twins and anything you guys would need to make it through the weekend with it." Bryan replied. "There is a litter box, some litter, a scooper, a few toys, two cat bowls, some kitten food and a container of soft treats that it shouldn't have a problem eating. Just go easy on the treats so it doesn't get sick." Bryan said listing what was in the bags. "If you end up needing anything else let me know." He added.

[virtualoo]

"Of course..." Tenmo said with a small smile and a nod, eyes flickering over to the small feline who was halfway in a bag. She tried tugging a little ball out of the bag but it must have been caught on something else. She meowed loudly in protest at Ren to get the toy for her, Tenmo chuckling as Ash poked and prodded at the other items. "Let me set those up dear" He smiled, setting up the litter box and the bowls for the little kitten

[Sathenus]

Ren stuck his head in the bag when the tiny kitten had meowed at him. Tugging the ball free with his own teeth before giving it to the tiny cat who was happily batting it around. At least until she noticed the litter box being set up. Climbing her way into it and digging around finding the perfect spot to go. After finishing her business she spent another few minutes burying it before climbing out and heading straight to her newly set up bowls. "There is a little collar in there too but I'm pretty sure she's still too small for it." He admitted. Ren was still staring at the litter box not sure what to make of it.

[virtualoo]

“It sure looks like it. I am sure once she grows a bit she will fit just fine. Otso will figure out a name and maybe you guys can get a little tag with her name on it” Tenmo smiled, watching the cat use the box without a problem. Their sons seemed sceptical about the box, unsure what to make of it but it will come in time. “We will take good care of her promise” Tenmo smiled, patting Bryan’s shoulder

[Sathenus]

"Again, I appreciate you guys watching her for me." Bryan replied glad to know the kitten was in good hands. Bryan stayed for a little longer making sure the kitten was settled before he had to get going. But before he left there was one more thing he needed to ask. He showed Kaine and Tenmo the small velvet box, "Can you guys also keep a hold of the ring for me? I don't want Otso to accidentally find it." Bryan had considered just keeping the ring on him at all times but didn't want to risk losing it out Otso even finding it in his pocket or asking about it if he felt it.

[virtualoo]

“My god..Bryan...This is gorgeous” Tenmo said with wide eyes after he got curious and opened the small box. It was even all of his favorite metals and favorite gem stones. “It’s gorgeous..I said that didn’t I? He will love this!” He smiled, putting it in a cabinet in the kitchen for the time being. It will be safe and he won’t lose it..He thought to himself

[Sathenus]

Bryan wasn't surprised that Tenmo had gotten curious and looked at the ring. He had gotten it in black gold, along the band was a butterfly pattern in silver, the main gem was cut into the shape of a heart. What made this 'gem' unique was the fact that it was actually a sapphire and an emerald that had been cut so each gem was half the heart, held together by an intricate silver design. There were a couple of rubies embedded in the band placed between each butterfly. Bryan had gone all out with the ring putting in a lot of effort to make it as perfect as he could. All the gems were real, he hadn't spared any expense on the ring but wasn't interested in saying good much was spent on it either. Not feeling like that was important. "Glad you think he'll love it though." Bryan admitted with a small smile.

[virtualoo]

"No...He definitely will. Its all his favorite gems and in such a beautiful cut" Tenmo assured him, seeing the two gems being half a heart and all the color shine and love being put into it. "I will help you set things up the day of before he gets there. Do not worry, I will duck out before he sees im here so the focus is only on you" He nodded, wishing him luck. Monday night...Monday night one of his closest pack mates was going to get engaged. He couldnt wait!

[Sathenus]

"Thanks Tenmo." Bryan replied with a smile. He said his goodbyes before leaving you return to the coven house. Kaine was turning his attention to Tenmo with a curious but excited look on his face. "Bryan's really proposing to Otso?" He asked knowing that his husband knew more about this than he did and figuring that's what it was since there was a ring involved.

[virtualoo]

"He is...He really is" Tenmo said with a big smile, swinging him around with a big grin. "He told me so much and how much Otso meant to him and all this stuff. He really will..!" He said with a big happy smile, Ash looking happy too but his ears did droop a bit in sadness that his first and only crush would no longer be available come monday nights proposal. "Do not worry dear, you will find someone! Now weddings might be different for you too and it will be a lot of people" he started to explain weddings and how to go to the table or them if its too much. "Solaria will be there Ren if you need a play mate or someone to dance with when they have a wedding" He smiled, noting he would need to get the boys some more formal wear they will tolerate for when the wedding did eventuall arrive

[Sathenus]

Kaine felt his face light up tremendously especially as he was spun around. His eyes followed Tenmo's to Ash whose ears had dropped at the news. "You'll find someone, Ash. Who knows? The wedding may be the perfect place for you to meet a nice guy." Kaine told his son giving him a reassuring smile. He knew Ash really liked Otso but he wanted the young man to be happy for Otso and not be upset or sad. They had told him before that he couldn't get between the couple anyway. "There are plenty of nice pack or coven members you will set there." He added not wanting to assume that Ash would like the pack or the coven more.

[virtualoo]

Ash nodded softly but still was not sure how to navigate these feelings. It was still new to be told it was more acceptable and the focus was not on breeding and keeping up the population. And he was sure this wedding in their culture would already be vastly different from their own. He hoped he would at least enjoy the evening. "Good good now lets get this kitten fed" Tenmo smiled, still happy as ever as he got a small scoop of wet kitten food out for them.

[Sathenus]

Kaine laughed at the mention of getting the kitten some food. The tiny animal aware of what was happening and meowing while trying to climb Tenmo's leg. It only caused him to laugh harder before he went to help get the small creature off his husband's leg. She was a lot stronger than he expected but was able to pull her off. "If you boys want a kitten of your own you'll need to help care for this one while she's here. It means feeding her, making sure she has fresh water and scooping out the litter box." Kaine told them as he set her down. "We'll help you guys out too so don't be afraid to ask for help. But we aren't going to do it all." Kaine added. "I wanna give her the food!" Ren said running over to get the cat bowl from Tenmo.

[virtualoo]

Tenmo had to stop getting the scoop for the food as the little kitten was determined to eat and she was going to eat right that second it seems. He did not seem to be moving fast enough for her, not wanting to shake her off and his hands full so thankfully Kaine pulled her off quickly. "Okay dear, put two of these spoonful scoops into the bowl. She cannot eat too much or she could get too full of a tummy and might not feel good" Tenmo explained, setting down the food and bowl on the counter. The kittens attention was diverted to Ren, not stopping meowing and rubbing up on his legs.
