"Tenn?" Ryuu asked, gently knocking on their youngest's door, "Are you awake?" There was no answer from inside the room.
Ryuu turned with a concerned expression on his face. "Gaku, I'm worried about him. He never sleeps in this late."
"It's our day off, Ryuu," Gaku pointed out, "He might be taking advantage of that."
Ryuu shook his head. "He doesn't sleep in at all, even on days off."
"Well, why don't we go in?" Gaku said.
Ryuu gasped. "That's rude, Gaku! We can't just barge into his room!"
"Watch me." Gaku strode past Ryuu and turned to door handle. Somewhat surprisingly, it was unlocked. Both Gaku and Ryuu entered and the sight that met them left them speechless.
There was Tenn, lying on his bed, sleeping. He was curled up loosely, knees at waist-level and hands in loose fists near his head. That wasn't what surprised Gaku and Ryuu though. It was the light white-pink cat ears and tail the same shade as his hair that took the words out of their mouth.
Gaku swallowed. "Well, at least we found out what happened to him."
"Should we leave him here?" Ryuu asked.
Both of them started at the sight of Tenn's new ears twitching. He sleepily rubbed his eyes and yawned, revealing small fangs.
"Whoops," Gaku said, "Looks like we woke him up."
They watched as Tenn sat up and stretched, tail waving as he looked at them curiously.
"Hey, Tenn," Ryuu said gently, holding his arms out and lowering himself a bit, "Come here."
Tenn eyed him cautiously as he lifted his head and sniffed the air. Ryuu waited until Tenn deemed him safe before slipping out of bed. The white collared shirt he'd probably stolen from one of them as nightclothing was too large for him, sleeves hanging below his hands and hem reaching his thighs, almost to his knees. It was evident as he walked over to Ryuu with none of his usual Tenn-like grace or indifference. His tail waved breezily, ears pricked for any sign of noise.
Ryuu waited until Tenn was standing in front of him, looking up at him with searching eyes. He felt Gaku's unbelieving gaze on him as Tenn lifted his arms up.
"Does he seriously want you to pick him up?" The silver-haired man said, shaking his head in disbelief. Tenn shot him a look and then looked back at Ryuu with pleading eyes.
Ryuu chuckled and gently picked Tenn up like a child. Their center wrapped his arms around Ryuu's neck and buried his head in Ryuu's shirt, probably for his scent. Tenn was small and cute enough to be considered a child, and the fact that he had ears and a tail now only added to his cuteness factor. His legs wrapped around Ryuu's waist.
"Look at how cute he is, Gaku," Ryuu said as he exited Tenn's room. Gaku hummed noncommittally as he followed and closed the door behind them.
Ryuu sat down on the couch, lowering Tenn into his lap. Tenn blinked and closed his eyes, curling up as Gaku sat next to them.
"So, what are we going to do with him?" Gaku asked.
Ryuu shrugged. "I suppose we'll just have to hope he'll be back to normal tomorrow?" Absently he put one of his hands on Tenn's head and scratched him behind the ear.
Gaku raised an eyebrow when Tenn smiled softly and purred. "Is that normal?"
Ryuu nodded. "Want to try?" He said, lifting his hand so Gaku could pet Tenn. "His fur's really soft."
Gaku reached and warily petted Tenn's head, making a noise in the back of his throat. "You're right," He said, moving his hand to run it through Tenn's hair.
Tenn opened one eyes and sniffed, scenting Gaku. He closed his eye as he took Gaku's hand with one of his smaller ones and pulled it close to him. As he curled around it he reached with his other hand for Ryuu's hand, and put it on his head.
Gaku snorted. "Brat," he said, "Still wants attention even like this."
Tenn made a small grumbling noise, pulling Gaku's hand closer. Gaku almost fell over as Tenn took possession of his hand.
Ryuu laughed softly, rubbing one of Tenn's ears gently. The grumbling sound turned into a quiet purr as Tenn snuggled closer.
"Y'know," Gaku commented, his voice softer than Ryuu has ever heard it as he let Tenn take and hold his hand, "We should take pictures."
Ryuu agreed. "He's too cute like this, like a spoiled kitten."
Tenn hummed. Apparently he agreed.
Ryuu laughed again. "Let's just enjoy the moment for now."
Gaku nodded and leaned on Ryuu's shoulder. Ryuu looked over at him, surprised. Gaku mumbled something that sounded suspiciously like, "It's too early in the morning for me to wake up" before falling asleep on Ryuu's shoulder.
Ryuu laughed as Tenn lifted his head to look at him, eyes open curiously.
"It's nothing, Tenn," He said, comfortingly petting Tenn. He purred and nuzzled Ryuu's hand, lowering his head and closing his eyes again. Ryuu watched Tenn's tail wave and wrap around himself. Tenn snuggled into it like it was a fluffy blanket.
Ryuu chuckled. "You're adorable Tenn, you know?"
Tenn purred and hummed in response.
After a while, Ryuu felt Tenn's breathing even out and match Gaku's. Tenn had fallen asleep.
Ryuu allowed his breathing to match with Tenn's and Gaku's too. A little sleep couldn't hurt.
Just like that, Ryuu was out.
○●○●○●○
When Ryuu woke up it was because of the unexpected sound of Tenn's voice. He opened his eyes and sleepily looked down at Tenn in his lap. It took a moment to see it was normal Tenn, without his previous ears and tail.
"Ryuu. Why am I in your lap."
Gaku stirred and blinked, waking. He blearily glared at Tenn. "Is the brat back to normal already?"
"I'm not a brat, Gaku," Tenn said flatly. Then the rest of Gaku's words seemed to register. "What do you mean, 'back to normal'?"
Ryuu shook his head, both to get sleep out of his system and for Tenn's benefit. "It's best if you don't know, Tenn."
Tenn looked at them like he'd pry the answers out of them tooth and nail when Gaku swore.
"Fuck, Ryuu, we forgot to take the pictures!"
