A new family addition

[seemagicshit]

[Rain pattered against the windows at a steady rate. It made a nice backdrop to the soundscape of Zhao's apartment. The rice cooker chirped pleasantly, miso soup burbled on the stove and the clink of dishware all harmonized and emphasized that a meal would be forthcoming.

Zhao whistled a little tune as he got everything ready. He'd opted for more traditional Japanese this time around, but had an extra dish of grilled chicken for his boyfriend's extra protein needs. He eyed the rain beginning to increase outside. Joon-gi Han would be perfectly fine in his coat, but it was going to leave a mess.

He eyed some of his more threadbare towels, wondering which he could throw on the floor to sit under the sopping coat when he heard the door unlock.]

Hey, baby, you made it just in time for dinner.

[ Joon-gi pushed open the door and stepped inside, water pooling beneath his heavy boots. He clutched at the front of his jacket with one hand, hood pulled low over his eyes, but it wasn't enough to hide how the driving rain had drenched his face, plastering his silver hair against his forehead. ]

Sorry I'm late. I would have called to let you know, but... I dropped my phone in a puddle.

[ He blinked the water from his eyes and stood there, unwilling to step past the genkan until he'd divested himself of his filthy boots and sodden jacket.

But first, he needed to deal with a certain 'surprise guest'... ]

Could you come here and help me with something?

[ He kept one hand tightly clutched over his chest, keeping a steady hold over the squirming passenger tucked within his shirt. He could feel the damp fur and tiny claws pricking against his bare skin, and hoped against hope that the poor thing would pull through. ]
