At first Cheshire had assumed the smaller male might’ve just frozen up due to surprise at his change in touch, but as the rabbit tried to shift away from said touch, and went on to mutter about how it felt, he realized that may not have been the case after all. And admittedly, part of him was curious now to see how to rabbit might react if he persisted… But, in the end he decided to continue being nice and heed the rabbit’s muttered request, shifting his hand further down the other’s ear so he could rub part of it between his fingers instead. Once the other pulled away to look at him, the cat returned his gaze, once again tilting his head a bit as he considered how he wanted to answer White’s question. “I’m not entirely sure myself…” he replied somewhat quietly before giving a small sigh.

Truthfully, while the cat had a few reasons in mind for why he wanted to comfort the other, he didn’t quite know which to give. Perhaps he felt guilty over pushing the rabbit to feel further alone, even though he’d felt, at the time at least, that it might’ve been better for the story. Or perhaps it was because lately he simply didn’t like to see him looking sad, or maybe it was something different all together… Regardless though, he somewhat doubted that the other would really believe any reason he offered, but even so he went on to offer one of them. “Hmm… I suppose it might be because lately, I just don’t like seeing you upset… So, I wanted to do something about it.” again replying rather quietly, he then shrugged slightly.

As the cat thought, White didn’t entirely believe what the Ches was saying, his expression he was giving to him was incredulous as he searched his face. There wasn’t a way in hell that was true, was it? After all, this guy is basically... The reason he was alone here in the first place. His words seemed to be complete and utter bull. He could never tell what this cat was thinking... In honesty White had a hard time trying to bring himself to believe what he was saying, a soft and unconvinced laugh leaking through thin lips.

“What? You’re kidding right?” he asked these questioned, pushing himself away from the other with a sigh. “Honestly... I forgot that how I really feel doesn’t really matter to you in the end,” he breathed out, turning away from him and beginning to walk off down the hall again. “You’re probably going to berate me again for trying to seek comfort in you later. I get it... Okay? I still love Alice... But I can’t help but think of what point there would be to... If I...”

“I don’t... I don’t want to die,” he muttered, gazing toward a door, slowly turning toward it and gazing into what he imagined to be an open space where Marianne sat. “It’s not me who deserves to be happy though. I’ll keep playing... Pretending as though everything will be good. I’ll be a hero, wouldn’t I? To save Marianne... To save Alice...”

While taking notice that the rabbit seemed to ignore his answer, the cat wasn’t all that bothered by it, instead he simply allowed the two of them to stand in silence for a short while as he held the other close to himself. Though as he stood, trying to figure out his next path of action, a soft sigh left the cat’s lips at the bit of frustration he’d felt before that brief frown had surfaced on his lips… Of course during this time he’d also noticed the rabbit’s efforts at wiping his face, but didn’t move to help him as he assumed his hand would just be pushed aside if he’d done so.

As such, he chose to forgo that in favor of following the idea that he’d come to. Feeling the smaller male tense as he turned his face toward him, Ches tightened his hold around the rabbit’s frame just slightly, chocolate eyes closing for a few moments as their lips met. The cat was almost tempted to purr at the pleasant softness, but resisted doing so even as he’d held the kiss. However, upon pulling away, he couldn’t resist the small grin which tugged at his lips as he noticed the red which had blossomed across the rabbit’s face, thinking it was a rather adorable expression. He didn’t voice such a thought however, instead just allowing a quiet hum to move through him.

Honestly though, he wasn’t quite expecting for White to remain frozen as he did, rather he was more expecting the other might smack him… Then he was left further surprised as the other began to cry again, this time about to make an attempt at wiping his tears with the hand he still hand near the other’s face. However, he ended up pausing before doing so as a soft chuckle moved through him at the other’s words. “I had a feeling you’d say that…” he murmured, managing to wipe the other’s face a little before withdrawing his hand as White shook his head. The cat then blinked a bit as the other turned to face him, then pressed his frame against him. After letting this little event sink in though, he began to gently pet the other’s head before venturing to softly rub behind one of the rabbit’s ears.

The feeling of Cheshire’s hand being on his face wasn’t one he’d normally welcome, but he remained still, accepting the touch upon his face silently until he was burying his face within the cat’s chest that is. He let a shakey sigh leak through his lips as the petting began, closing his eyes as he accepted this as well. It felt so alien, but nice as well. White found himself relaxing, the tension in his muscles slowly leaving until he felt the other touch his ear base. He froze up once more at the foreign tingling sensation that he felt resonating from that area, but he said nothing.

Despite how long he waited, the sensation didn’t seem to leave and he shifted, attempting to turn his ear away from his touch. “That feels weird, stop it...” he muttered, his brows creased with confusion. That wasn’t something he had felt before and it was odd. It didn’t help that his body felt a little odd after just allowing it to happen for as long as it did. The smaller male sighed before swallowing and reluctantly pulling away from him at least somewhat to look toward him. “...I don’t get you... Why are you bothering trying to comfort me?” he questioned, trying to steer his mind away from how his body was left feeling.

[crumble-like-cookies]

Truthfully, the cat had been aware that White probably didn’t want him to follow in the first place, which was most of the reason for him allowing the gap to form between them before he’d begun to move. The other continuing to ignore him while they walked was fairly expected, so the cat paid little mind to it as he’d tried to decide on his next course of action… Which he was a bit surprised ended up going as smoothly as it did, giving a light sigh as he held the smaller male close.

Looking toward White after a few moments, Ches tilted his head slightly as the rabbit turned to look at him, greeting the other’s mix of negative emotions with a fairly neutral expression at first. As the other questioned him however, the cat pursed his lips a bit. Just what was it that he wanted out of this?… In the long run, he wasn’t entirely sure. And for a good moment he wasn’t too sure about how to word his current motivations either, but in the end came to something that seemed about right. “Currently I wouldn’t say that I want anything from you, per se… I just wanted to try and ease your loneliness a bit.” murmuring this answer, he remained as he was for a few moments until White somewhat settled in his hold. At which point a brought his other arm around the rabbit before leaning down a bit to rest his chin atop the smaller male’s head.

While standing like this, however, the cat was once again thinking of just what he could do to try and lift the other’s mood… A puzzle which he was finding rather it difficult to answer, which was proving a bit frustrating. Frowning a bit as he continued to think, the cat did eventually arrive at something… Going off the other interactions from shortly before, it seemed safe enough to assume that perhaps White had thought about some suggestive things between them before, and if that was the case, then maybe his considered action would be fine. With such reasoning laid out, the cat moved one arm from around the smaller male in order to gently take his chin, further adjusting his position so he was able to bring his face close to the other’s, Ches then gently brought their lips together, holding the kiss for a few moments before backing off.

Despite the answer he was given, the small rabbit seemed to ignore his words, instead, he was focusing on wiping his own face from the tears that managed to slip by his fingers as he was trying to stop them from falling at all. Rubbing them like this likely would leave his face red and puffy, but he didn’t want to allow tears to show on his face as he was in proximity to this man. He didn’t want this man specifically to see him like this. Though, truth be told, he wouldn’t want anyone to see him in this sorry state he was in at the moment.

Though what happened next was definitely something White wouldn’t have thought would have happened and his little body tensed a little, his hands freezing in their raised positions as Ches forced him to turn his head in his direction. Maroon eyes widened as the distance between their faces lessened and lessened until he felt the softness of Ches’ lips upon his once again. His little heart pounded within his chest as his face once again blossomed in a red as it had done before. However, he didn’t pull away despite how long it had gone on for. In fact, the smaller male couldn’t lie to himself about how nice the feeling was and as soon as he pulled away, he felt a deep confliction within his chest.

White’s tiny frame trembled as he stared toward the other, unsure of what he should do now. His words were lost to him, but he found he couldn’t raise a hand toward him either and his body refused to move. Instead, he found himself shedding tears in this man’s face, the water flowing from his eyes freely. “I... I hate you. So much...” he heaved through small hiccups, shaking his head slightly before his White turned his body to face Cheshire’s, awkwardly pushing his frame against his, his hands resting against his chest. Though still unsure of himself, he found himself placing his face within his chest instead of leaning in for any more.

While he remained at his position in the doorway, the cat simply observed the small male for a short while as he stood near the sink. In the quiet atmosphere that was hanging about, Ches quietly debated with himself on if he should remain here, or tread further into the kitchen… A debate which only worsened as he took note of the rabbit’s lonesome expression. Granted, he felt unsure of just what to do for the other, but still felt that he should do something…

In the end though, the cat remained indecisive, ears flattening a somewhat as he simply watched the other go about finishing the remainder of his treat, and go about cleaning the cup. At this point he was tempted to move further into the room, but, ended up retracting that idea as White went to exit. Watching the other pass him by, the cat wasn’t surprised that he’d been ignored all this time, but after there was a small gap between them, he began to follow the rabbit once more. It took but a few moments for Ches to notice that the rabbit wasn’t returning to the sitting room, which left him a bit puzzled, but after a bit more thought he reasoned that perhaps the other had decided to head for bed… Which if correct, meant that White very well may not like the fact that he was tailing along.

But, even so, Ches didn’t feel quite right about simply leaving him alone. Which is why, after a moment of consideration, he decided to close the distance between them before the other made it all to his destination. Wrapping an arm around the smaller male after he’d stepped far enough forward to do so, he partially expected some form of protest to come, but regardless of that he went ahead with bringing the other closer to himself, hugging him gently. “I expect that you might not want me to follow you much further than this… But, I hope you’ll at least allow me to do this much…” saying this softly, he was hoping that the rabbit wouldn’t end up protesting too much, and instead would just let him attempt to give this bit comfort.

Noticing the cat was following him even though he didn’t acknowledge the other as he came out of the kitchen was bothersome. He hoped the cat would have gotten the message that he didn’t want to be bothered, and yet here he was, following him as he was. The rabbit gained a bit of annoyance in his attitude once again, but he didn’t stop walking or address him in any way. It was as such until the cat decided he wasn’t just going to let him go and wrap an arm around his small frame that he stopped moving, hesitating and this only lead to him falling into the other easier as Ches pulled White against himself.

The rabbit turned his head to look toward the other after a few moments of letting this contact sink in for him. His gaze one of a mix of different emotions. None of them really that good as the display was that of annoyance, confusion and hurt. “What do you want from me, cat? What’s your deal?” he huffed, turning his head away as he seemed to debate with himself on whether or not he wanted to get away from him, shifting awkwardly within the hold he was in. Normally, he would have bolted as quickly as he could have, he wouldn’t tolerate this sort of thing, but the rabbit just didn’t have it in him to fight right now. In fact, the embrace of another person even felt lovely to him and he felt a swell of emotions rise from somewhere deep within. He choked back the sound of his unsettlement and moved his arms up to rub at his face a little more.

Giving a light sigh in response to how the rabbit replied to him, the cat then simply leaned back into the couch a bit. He’d honestly expected a reaction similar to what was given, and while his answers hadn’t really been given with the intention of gaining anything more, a part of him was still hoping for something a bit more… However, even with that thought, he wasn’t going to try and provoke White for any further reactions. Instead, as the other began to sip at his tea, the cat reached over and took a stick from the bag, starting to nibble at it while the silence wafted in.

He did spare a glance over toward White a few times in the silence, but opted not to say anything for the time being. As the rabbit set down his cup however, the cat kept his gaze toward the other, even though it wasn’t being returned, soon blinking as White spoke. “Ah, it sort of was… But only because I didn’t exactly mean that part of it in a suggestive way. Not everything I say is something terrible, you know?…” replying with a slightly pouty expression, he was guessing that the other had assumed his motive to be something like that due to his comments after those words. And while it was somewhat the case, there was still a bit more to it. “I meant it enough to tease you some, but… I also meant it in the sense that just spending time with you is rather fun.” murmuring these words, he was then quiet as he watched the other finish his tea before going to stand.

Nibbling the remainder of his own treat at this point, it wasn’t apparent to the cat just yet that the other might have meant something else by his earlier words than just what he’d taken them to mean. In the next few moments, however, this changed as his ears caught exiting remark. Once again, the cat blinked, before furrowing his brows while looking toward the doorway. Had he said that just to further dig at the earlier comment about chasing him? Or?… “Wait… Could he have said that because he’d actually given it some thought?…” thinking this, Cheshire simply sat there in confusion for a few moments, before deciding to venture after White again. The tall male only went as far as the doorway, however, choosing to peek around it and into the kitchen rather than entering.

A small sigh leaked through thin lips as the White Rabbit leaned against the counter the sink rested in, placing both the tea plate and cup into the bottom of it. He simply stood there for a while, leaning against this surface with his palms laying on the edge to keep him planted there firmly. His maroon gazed stared down toward the cup absently but the expression on his face couldn’t be labeled as anything other than a lonely one.

The rabbit noticed the other had followed him, the sound of his footsteps were undeniable to his enhanced ears after all, but he chose to ignore him for the time being as he brought a hand up to the snack he had in his mouth, slowly partaking in the treat and finishing it off before even attempting to start cleaning his cup. Even then, his movements were slow to turn on the water and pick up the cup and rag he would use to clean it. Once finished though, he let out a breath and further leaned on the surface until he pushed himself away from it and began to walk off out of the kitchen, ignoring the cat as he went by, moving his hands up to wipe at his face as tears began to drip down his cheeks.

As he was speaking, the cat honestly expected that White would’ve continued trying to chip at the rather weak defense he’d put up, so he was left a bit surprised as the rabbit simply allowed him to keep talking, that surprise showing slightly upon his face even though the other wouldn’t currently be able to see it. Once he finished, however, it was Cheshire’s turn to be quiet as White started to speak. Once he did go to speak up, however, the cat gave a quiet chuckle before he spoke. “Well, I’m glad you seem to understand.” simply giving this small reply at first, the cat then fell silent once more at the smaller male’s next words, his gaze shifting away from the other and instead down toward his lap while his ears bent back slightly. “Ah, that it is…” quietly muttering a response to the initial part of White’s words, he simply allowed his words to trail off. The cat might have been reluctant to admit it to himself, but White’s questions had cut to a major root for many of his issues. After all, it was essentially the reason why he came to this world of scrap paper to begin with.

So he found himself unable to make any further remarks toward that point, however as the other continued talking, Ches looked toward him once more while his ears perked back up. “Mm, I suppose that’s true. And some of them claim that they do, but… Even if that’s true, I just can’t bring myself to bother with getting that close to them.” giving a small shrug with this, the cat then blinked at White’s next questions, taking a moment before he ventured to try and answer them. “Would you believe me if I said it was just an effort to give you a bit more company and have a bit of fun?” he returned a question of his own along with a slight grin, before going to continue. “Because that would be a fair enough truth. Besides, even if I was aiming for something a bit more… I doubt you would be likely to let me catch you, even if I did give chase.” with that the cat gave a soft laugh, which ended up pausing midway as he was somewhat caught off guard by the rabbit’s final remark. Once again, taking a moment before he went to reply. “Well, breaking a routine can be interesting once in a while.”

White replied to the other with a click of his tongue, shaking his head a little with the other’s answers to the questions he had asked about himself. Rolling his eyes, he huffed softly, his hand extending toward his tea to pick it up. Taking note of it not exactly being the temperature he would have liked it to be. A frown crossed his lips being he brought the cup up to them and sipped at the cup for a moment. He allowed silence to waft around the air around him for a while as he simply sipped his beverage.

Simply staying like this for a while, he placed the cup back on the tea plate, taking this moment to respond to him without gazing at him once more. “I would appreciate it if you didn’t play with me, like that, cat. It isn’t entertaining for me. But, I guess the ‘having a bit of fun,’ wasn’t meant to include me in the equation,” he spoke these words rather blandly, monotonous. Lifting the cup up once more, he took the last few drinks from the cup, snagging another stick from the bag again before standing up from the couch and walking off without another word to take care of the china he held in his hand.

He placed the stick in his mouth, using the newly freed hand to push his ears behind him. “You wouldn’t have a chance with me,” he muttered around the treat in his mouth just as he exited the room.

Jumping just slightly out of surprise at the laugh which left the other’s lips, looking to the smaller male and blinking a bit as he finished the last of the treat that he’d been nibbling on. A slight frown then coming to his lips as the rabbit began to tear at the reasoning he’d given, with the cat opening his mouth for a moment, only to close it as he retraced his thoughts before trying again. “I know it doesn’t sound very smart. But even so I thought that it made some sense. I wasn’t trying to imply that you’d be doing anything of the sort just because you’re a bunny though… After all, you aren’t quite the average bunny. So I wouldn’t expect such stereotypes to apply all that well.” even though a small laugh was given at the end of his words, the cat was well aware that his defense wasn’t very strong one. But even so, he went on to address what else White was saying.

“I’m well aware though that it’s my decision, and wasn’t really trying to say otherwise. After all, what point is there in denying something that I’ve boasted about before?” chuckling a bit with this question, he simply offered a slight grin toward the glare that he was receiving, before giving a quiet sigh as the other turned away. “Hmm… I might just give that a try.” saying this in a rather thoughtful tone, the cat then fell silent for a good few moments, seemingly hesitating to address the final question that White had thrown at him. After a bit of time however, Ches did finally speak up. “Ha… You should know by now that I’m quite a heartless cat…” though he’d tried to convey these words in a joking voice, it wasn’t very much of a success, instead amounting to more of a dry, somewhat saddened voice. The taller male tried to brush over this however by clearing his throat a bit before placing a grin upon his lips like usual.

Maroon eyes narrowed despite not facing the other, eventually simply closing them and sighing. He’d continue to argue his point as the other had left it wide open, but he ultimately decided to keep his mouth closed and hear what else the cat had to say. Once more, sighing and shaking his head as he took a gaze over toward him. “’Heartless’? I don’t think that’s exactly true. You just don’t get close to people. I guess I understand,” he spoke a bit somberly himself as he then looked away again before continuing, “I mean, after all, losing someone you’re close to is painful. Is that what your deal is? Afraid to lose more things you care about so you don’t get close to others? Fill your life with debauchery instead?”

A soft laugh left his lips, gazing up toward the ceiling now as he finished the last few bites of the treat he had taken. “That has to be lonely. But I suppose it’s no better than what I’ve gotten myself into. We’re both pretty heartless. And we both lead lonely lives, however... I don’t try to fill that hole with women like you. Though... I suppose not a lot of the women really care about you either, huh?” A sigh leaked through his lips then as he turned toward the other again. “I do have some questions about your recent behaviour, however. What exactly is it that you want by doing what you have around me, lately? Taking me out to eat with you... Coming here with snacks... Kissing me...? Are you trying to bed me like those women, cat?” these questions were asked with a raised brow from the rabbit, crossing his arms over his chest as he tossed a leg over the other one, crossing them. “I didn’t think you were the type to do that sort of a thing with a man.”

[crumble-like-cookies]

burlesque-grin‌:

While certainly thankful that he hadn’t received that smack to the face, that simple fact still left the cat a bit dumbfounded. Especially since he assumed his words wouldn’t be taken too well either, even with his attempt to be a bit careful with them… As he’d sat there mulling over the situation with the smaller male beside him silently fuming, he couldn’t help but wonder what the little rabbit might’ve been thinking about. Perhaps it was about how much a nuisance he was? That seemed like a predictable enough guess, but maybe it was something else all together. Regardless of the answer though, Cheshire thought it unlikely that he’d get to learn what it was.

Giving a light sigh with that conclusion, he watched the smaller male tense up briefly at his touch, grinning just slightly out of amusement at that fact. Even with that slightly mean spirited amusement though, he was still pleased to notice the other relax a little as that soft sigh had passed his lips. Admittedly though, he didn’t quite believe the rabbit’s muttered words that followed soon after. But even so, he didn’t try to press the thought, instead just lightly shrugging after his hand was brushed away. “If you say so.” he replied simply, only to blink and give a slightly puzzled expression at the rabbit’s next quiet words. Mulling over then a bit as he also settled back into his seat. “Mm… I get why you don’t understand it. But I suppose some things just come easily to us cats…” allowing his words to trail off here for the time being, his gaze rested on White for a moments before shifting elsewhere.

The cat wasn’t really looking at anything in particular though, instead simply gazing off in thought before he quietly said something more. “It might be nice though…to at least get a taste of something more.” curling a strand of hair around his finger as he spoke the cat soon enough reached for the bag again as well, going to leave his quiet words from the moment before behind in the silence as he nibbled at his own chocolate covered treat. While well aware that it was foolish of him to want much of anything at this point, given all that he’d left behind just to come here, all that he’d ended up destroying in pursuit of a goal that may very well turn out to be fruitless… It was still difficult to ignore ones desires at times, no matter how foolish they seemed to be.

A sarcastic laugh tore through the air at the response the cat had given him, utterly, chuckling to himself a few moments afterward, looking over toward him incredulously. “That’s the reasoning you’re going with? Because you’re a cat? Do you know how stupid that sounds when you’re talking to a rabbit of all things? Rabbits have sex pretty often if you let them, but you know what? I’m a virgin. I’ve never kissed someone before. And you’re going to sit here and blame your promiscuous nature on the fact that you’re a cat. HA!” his tone of voice carried a sort of venom to it, but he wasn’t yelling, only having raised his voice a bit from the way he was mumbling before.

“The point your posing makes it sound as though that I would be doing just the same as you are simply because of what I am. What you’re doing is your decision. That is precisely one of the reasons this game even started. To fold away from what would be expected and let Alice live,” he continued, glaring slightly at the cat beside him before turning his gaze away then once more. “Perhaps you should try spending time with someone, talking and listening to them before deciding you’re going to have sex with them right off, yeah? Maybe then you’ll actually taste something more than a cheap thrill. Or do you just not give a damn about others?”

Having paid little mind to the sarcasm that he’d gotten in return for his comment about visiting his mistress from time to time, the cat simply allowed the situation to roll along rather quietly for the time being, until he’d of course broken it with his own words for a moment as he’d addressed White’s comment about the treat he’d brought along. Once the moment had come to put his sudden idea into motion however… He was slightly amused at the surprise present on the smaller male’s face, a slight smile spreading over the taller male’s lips as he’d gone about stealing a bit more of a treat than simply what remained of the rabbit’s snack, with that slightly smile remaining upon his lips as he’d seen the other’s face bloom red while leaning away.

Crossing one leg over the other as he’d settled into his seat, the cat simply nibbled at his own chocoletey stick while the other sat beside him was trying to process the moments before. Humming softly to himself while soon reaching into the bag again, he perked up slightly while nibbling this new stick as he’d noticed the other lean forward to set down his cup. Chocolate eyes then blinked a bit as White turned to him and began shouting, taking a moment to finish this treat before going to address the other’s words. “Well, I saw an opportunity to grab a snack and simply couldn’t resist. As for going a little beyond that though…” here he’d trailed for a short moment, trying to choose his next words at least a bit carefully. “Someone cute is also rather hard to resist. I didn’t think that I’d be stealing something that special though…” while indeed not very surprised to hear the other hadn’t kissed anyone before, the cat still felt it warranted a small comment. Moments after saying this however his ears lowered a bit as readied himself for the slap that surely seemed to be coming his way, only to blink in slightly surprise as the other lowered his hand and turned away.

Simply sitting there in that state of slightly surprise for a few moments, Cheshire then ventured to reach over, resting his hand lightly against the other’s head as he started to gently rub one of White’s ears with his thumb. He was honestly unsure if the gesture would be taken well or not, given how heated the other had been shortly before… But, he felt perhaps it was a good idea to try and soothe the rabbit at least. Seeing as he hadn’t really meant to rile him up that much. During this moment however, he was of course unaware of the smaller male’s shifting train of thought, a fact which earned a rise in curiosity from the cat as he’d leaned over just a bit to try and peek at the rabbit’s face only to notice the rosy color it was still dyed in.

White himself was surprised in how own reaction, but for some reason, he couldn’t bring himself to go through the motion of smacking that cat for what he had done. Even though what he proceeded to say to him only made him angrier. He fumed in silence for a while longer, though after a moment he quietly touched his fingers to his lips, frowning slightly at the idea that he actually did like the feeling of a kiss. He was poorly lacking in knowing what a lot of things felt like. Things he even thought that he likely wouldn’t ever experience in the duration of this stupid game, or even at all. Surely, Alice didn’t even want him, calling back to the thought of her seeming displeased with every little thing he tried to do to make her happy. This game that continues despite it not even being what Alice wants. He wondered if the cat knew about his thoughts, would it make him angry?

Perhaps not, after all, he went and kissed him, right? Then again... The rabbit never knew what was going through that thick skull of the cat’s. It was really... Unbearable. A flurry of emotions captured him, pulling him from left to right. He couldn’t deny himself the soft spot that was growing for the dumb cat. And the thought of his lips meeting his once more caused White to bury his face in his hands. What was it that he really wanted though? Cheshire cat, that is. What did he want from him?

As Ches’ hand came to rest on his head, however, his train of thought was derailed and he tensed, his breathing even coming to a stop for a short moment as he took in what he was doing. Feeling the gentle rubbing at his ear had the rabbit sigh softly, lifting his face from his palms. “I’m fine,” he muttered before turning to sit forward, shimmying back into his seat to get comfortable and brushing his hand away. “...I don’t understand how you’re just comfortable with doing that without loving them,” he said this quietly as he reached into the bag to retrieve another treat of his own, nibbling at it quietly afterward, his head pointed in a downward and his eyes trained on the chocolate covered treat.

PSA.

So I’ve been back on Tumblr for approximately a month now. Mostly just ghosting and lurking to see the people I’ve always enjoyed on my dash. But something has caught my eye and that is the cancerous attitude of this fucking place. So I decided to make a post in order to warn every single person on this tumor of a website that I will NEVER accept the bullshit that is anonymity when you want to send someone an ask. You wanna mess around and send your friend some messages that will further their character development? Fine. Want to be funny and post some weird asks, just to see how they’ll react? Be my guest. On your personal blog and still want to send something in real quick, like a meme, so you do so on anon? We’ve all been there. 

BUT NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE DO YOU HAVE THE GODDAMN RIGHT TO OPEN YOUR FILTHY FUCKING MOUTH TO CONTROL WHATEVER ANYONE DOES ON THEIR BLOG. 

I don’t want to see any kind of hate on my character or anyone’s character ever. This entire community of snowflakes and SJW’s can go fucking cry to their care bear friends on how this random person on the internet is doing something on their own blog that they don’t like. We’ve been pandering to this retarded bullshit for too long and I for one am sick and tired of these fucking assholes coming onto people’s blogs just to ruin some shit. You don’t like what you see? Unfollow. Some of their posts aren’t to your liking? Blacklist. 

Who in the everliving fuck do you think you are that you have the right to come and complain your corny ass off behind a wall of anonymity? So kindly, fuck off and grow a spine you worthless, controlling, toxic, piece of shit.

Simply tilting his head slightly at the gaze he’d received in return for the words about his mistress, it seemed almost as if the cat was trying to play innocent about his words… But that wasn’t it really, for he knew that neither of them really cared much about her, and that likely the smaller male was trying to poke at him. Much like he tended to do toward the rabbit, which did amuse him just a bit. And much like the smaller male thought, the auburn haired male was indeed aware that he intimidated the other at times, something he’d surely take advantage of in certain moments… But for now, that was neither here nor there. “Mm… You probably have a point there. I might visit from time to time though.” giving a slight hum with that, he’d then left that little topic behind.

When he’d gone about opening up the bag a slight twitch of his ears came in reaction to the other’s sigh, but otherwise he remained focused on his task. At times like this he did somewhat regret the actions he’d taken to laid himself where he had… But, if it was a step to drive himself closer to his goal. Then a few consequences were fine, even if they were inconvenient. As he held the bag toward the other however he pushed those thoughts aside, tilting his head slightly in curiosity as White hesitated. He made no comment however, instead simply watching as the other went about taking and nibbling one of the slim sticks. “Oh? I’m glad you like them then~.” replying to the other’s soft words with this, he then glanced at the bag as White continued his nibbling. Frowning slightly that he couldn’t really pick out one for himself he then looked up to the rabbit again, an idea popping into his head as the other glanced over toward him.

Putting that idea into motion he leaned over toward the smaller male, capturing the remaining chocolatey stick between his teeth before rather swiftly nibbling away at the half-stick. Rather predictably however as he reached the end of the treat, the cat was met with a softness as his lips lightly connected with those of the snowy colored bunny boy beside him. Leaning away but a moment afterward, Ches then gave a small hum as he enjoyed the little treat he’d snagged. “So it is~.” calling back to the other’s words about the treat being good with this, he then settled back into the couch a bit, placing the bag down between them before actually pulling out a stick of his own to nibble on, all the while simply glossing over his actions from a moment ago. Seeing as he at least knew better than to comment on them, however, he wasn’t above admitting to himself that he did enjoy the perhaps not-so-accidental kiss which had occurred

“Of course,” he responded rather sarcastically to his comment on going to see his mistress from time to time. He wouldn’t doubt it too much, but he still somewhat found it to be a bit pathetic. But he couldn’t bring himself to care much more than that. After all, as long as she was there, then things would continue to move along smoothly. After all, he had no say in what this cat does anyway. What he wasn’t expecting though, was the cat’s face to suddenly come so close to his own, causing his maroon gaze to widen, not having too much time to react as the other pressed their lips together for that brief moment. His face blew up with an undeniable red, shrinking into his own seat, almost splashing his tea on himself, but managing not to.

The rabbit sat there attempting to process what had just happened for a few moments, covering his mouth with his free hand as it was slowly sinking in for him. Once he had finally settled on the situation, he was caught in between whether or not he should slap him for taking his first kiss... His tiny little heart was beating so fast in his chest, he felt it might burst. He leaned forward for a moment, placing his cup down on the coffee table before looking toward him with a slightly angered expression. “Why did you go and do that!? I’m a boy, you know! You stole my first kiss!” he shouted at the cat, his anger seeming to rise with every sentence he said, unabashed that he just admitted that that was his first time kissing someone. After all, it really shouldn’t be something that would be surprising to hear, so he wasn’t exactly too embarrassed to be admitting to such a thing. However, his hand was raised as he was prepared to slap the other after he was done yelling, but he ultimately lowered it and huffed, turning away, his face only seeming to get a bit hotter as he thought about how nice his lips felt against his own, and how soft, but harder than they were compared to his own.

After having announced his entrance, the cat was momentarily amused by the small rabbit’s reaction, although a part of him did feel a bit bad for starling the other male. “Sorry to have startled you like that.” replying to the other’s groan with this, the tall male then went ahead and took a seat beside the other, not minding that the other wasn’t looking his way for now. At the rabbit’s initial question however he only gave a small hum at first before actually going to answer, gaze shifting off to the side for a bit as he spoke. “Well I thought I’d humor her at bit at least, be a nice little kitty and listen while she talked… Even though I hadn’t much interest in what she was speaking of.” paying little mind to the final bit of that scoffed remark, the cat’s gaze then shifted over toward White as he noticed the other’s attention turn toward him.

Grinning slightly at the other’s expression and question, the cat soon spoke up again. “I forgot just what she said it was called, hmm… ‘Pocky’ I think it was, but here it is.” with that he lifted up the little bag he’d been carrying with him, showing the slim chocolaty sticks which rested within. “Since they looked fairly tasty, I thought that was another good enough reason to share them.” humming a little, he then went on. “Granted it might not be much in return for all the handouts you’ve given me, but I hope it counts for something at least.” chuckling a little with that, Cheshire then went about pulling at the ribbon tied at the bag’s top with his teeth, taking it upon himself to open the little gift since the other was still holding his tea cup. Although opening things one-handed wasn’t always the easiest task… The cat managed it soon enough however, allowing the ribbon to fall to his lap as he then offered the opened bag toward White, a soft smile adorning his features as he did so.

White’s gaze narrowed a little with what the other had to say about his mistress, but at the same time, he didn’t really care much either about her. He simply felt the need to mock the cat. Make himself feel a bit bigger, perhaps. He wouldn’t lie that he did feel a bit intimidated by him sometimes. Well, he wouldn’t like to himself about it. Ches likely already knew this too, he could tell he was testing him sometimes and it really irked him to a degree. “The first step to being a nice pet, I guess. Not particularly though, as I’m sure you aren’t likely to go back home,” he rolled his eyes with that.

A sigh leaked through his lips as he watched the other go about opening up the little bag that he brought with him. It looked interesting enough, but he did raise a brow at it. He felt a bit sorry for the struggle he seemed to be going through while trying to open the bag with one hand, but all in all, he probably deserved what was coming to him regardless if he himself didn’t like the present ‘Alice’ in the game. As he held the bag out to him with such a kind expression, the rabbit was a bit hesitant, almost thinking it was a trick before sighing and reaching a hand out toward the bag and pulling one of the chocolatey sticks from the bag, giving it a tiny nibble at first to try it. “Ah... This is actually pretty good,” he murmured softly before beginning to eat some more of it, actually looking pretty pleased with the treat in his mouth. He had eaten it at least halfway before he glanced back toward Ches.

Time was moving slowly, very slowly in fact. Too slow. The rabbit was beyond bored at this point as he took his seat in the sitting room with his tea. He had already placed a book out for him to read regardless of how ironic that might have sounded in this regard. The stories here weren’t too good, but he still got a little bit of amusement out of them. It beat doing nothing and took his mind off of having to go out and replace more and more of the characters of his own story. It was really exhausting.

The sudden voice that made the presence of a certain cat be known startled the small rabbit, almost having his tea splash on him, but it was caught easily back within the cup. “Gah! Damn, I really should be used to you just coming in like that by now,” he groaned, turning his gaze away from him, refusing to look at him for now. “So you’re actually spending time with your new mistress? It’s about time, you’re a terrible pet to have,” he scoffed, but he turned his attention to him then, raising a brow at him. “What is it she gave you though? Quite curious what you brought me to compensate your taking of my food.”

Watching the other wheel the cart along for a little ways, the cat of course noticed that most things upon it were untouched, but he didn’t dwell upon that observation for long before strolling over toward the smaller male, giving just a soft hum. Ches paused however moments after the rabbit had done the same, looking on curiously before then blinking as he was handed the plate. “Well, this is quite a surprise… But thank you.” replying with a smile as he accepted the plate, it wasn’t long before he began trailing after the rabbit.

While he could tell that the other’s happy air from earlier had fallen away, he didn’t comment on it just yet… Instead he followed along until they reached the kitchen, heading over to the small table there where he seated himself before setting down the plate and started eating. For a time he was simply munching away in relative silence, aside from a bit of soft purring, however… Ches did eventually pipe up to voice a little thought. “Say, bunny… What would think about spending a little time out about town?” speaking with a curious tone, he then resumed lapping at the frosting on the cupcake he’d been given.

The rabbit’s maroon gaze moved over toward the cat as he asked his question, raising a brow at him for a brief moment before focusing back on the task at hand. He wasn’t sure what the man was getting at with asking him that, but he already had some bad thoughts in mind. Though, they weren’t exactly anything too bad, just things that he couldn’t see himself really wanting to do. Especially in public. However, the thought of getting out of the house seemed like a good idea to him. He wanted to get out of here. Runaway. But he’d ultimately come back of course, for Alice.

“...I can’t say I’d mind too much. But I can’t be away from Alice for too long,” he answered simply, almost quietly as he went about finishing what he had started not too long ago. The leftovers in the fridge and the empty dishes cleaned and put away. He turned his attention fully on the other, then taking a seat at the table across from him to wait for him to finish. He was already ready to go at this point, but he wasn’t trying to give off this impression. “So. What are your plans on ‘taking me out about town’?” he asked, raising his brow at him once again.

Following along as far as the doorway of the dining room, the feline stopped, leaning against it as he watched the other finish setting up the table. Not long after this however he slipped back around the corner, leaning against the wall with a slight sigh. He’d had a chance to see the other’s expression light up before moving away, but he couldn’t quite stand to see much more than that… For as nice as it was to see White looking happy, he didn’t exactly wish to humor something that he knew was only a delusion.

And while earlier he had considered joining the other in the dining room, it was decided against however. Both for the before mentioned reason relating to the ‘conversation’ that the rabbit was now having, but also because he doubted that White would be very willing to welcome him at the table in the first place. So, for a while he was simply waiting there outside the room, gazing up at the ceiling while quietly humming to himself. After some time had passed though his ears twitched at the sound of approaching footsteps, looking over toward the snowy haired male with a small smile just as he exited the dinning room.

The smallest of sighs had slipped through the rabbit’s lips as he made his way out of the room with the cart in toe, most of the things he had made were untouched. The man paused though as he saw Ches standing there, glancing toward the plate he had originally prepared for Mary Ann. His lips pressed together before lifting the plate and handing it over to the cat. “Here. I made a plate for you,” he said before proceeding to cart away the rest of the things without another word to him.

Despite having a happy air about him before, it had immediately washed away with the thought that Alice was simply just a figment of his imagination within the dining room just a moment ago. She was likely still in his chair in the room he left her in. Her standing and coming into the dining room? Ridiculous. Once in the kitchen, he started to put some things away, leaving other things out with the idea of just letting the cat have them if he wanted to eat them before leaving. Some part of him already had a feeling that the cat followed him into the kitchen anyway.
