"Hm?" Tanaka continued to stare at tha cat until he noticed that it had a cut on it's paw, "this battle scars reminds me of the one the Cerberus has had..." He whispered, "could it be...? No–"

He lifted the cat up and placed it on his pillow next to him, "you are as gorgeous as..." He paused and chuckled a bit.

"You are as gorgeous as Kazuichi"

"... Meow?"

"Hm?" Gundham stared at the cat and chuckled, "he is quite the charm as well, he's handsome and–well... He's...–" He paused and felt his face flush, "...everything..." He turned to the cat and patted it's head.

Dammit.

I knew his secret was that he likes me... But, just hearing him say things like that is just... Weird...I've never expected him to actually like me like that...

The cat turned to Gundham and licked his cheek as it purred.

"Ah! Kazuichi! Kazuichi wou–" He stopped and realized, "erhm...Never mind...it would be quite odd on why I have named you after him, I don't think he knows the deep secret I am hiding..."

"Meow..."

"Ah! You're right, I shall have slumber for now, I am quite low on my mana, don't you agree?"

"Meow"

"..."

Gundham turned to the cat and picked it up, placing it on his chest, covering it up with the blanket.

-in the morning-

Once Gundham woke up, he felt something slightly heavier laying on him, "... Ergh..."

"Hm?" He lifted his head and noticed a pink fuzzy-like figure...

"...?" He picked his hand up and started to pat the pink fluffy hair, waking the mysterious creature up.

"Hm?"

Souda woke up, but didn't move– He knew Gundham was awake, messing with his hair, it made him nervous, Gundham probably never expected him to be like this...

"Kazu-...Kazuichi?" Tanaka asked, slowly lifting his head up, "Hm?"

you're probably wondering why I can't just transform into the cat or whatever, right? Well, you see, I kinda stayed like that for an entire night, and I forgot to leave, so basically...

I'm low on power and the only way I can get it back is if I eat something and gain enough energy—

... WAIT! DID GUNDHAM JUST SAY MY NAME?!

I slowly lifted my head and turned to him, a shy, embarrassing smile appearing on my face, "H-... Hey"

"What are you doing here?" Gundham said in an almost intimidating voice, causing me to back up, "s-sorry! Um... I-I don't really know how to explain this current situation so I'll just leave, kay?"

Gundham paused and grabbed Kazuichis hand, "no, stay..."

"..."

"I will listen, I promise..."

"Oh.. Uhm... Okay? But what you're about to hear, it's probably not what you wanted to hear..."

"Proceed"

"I-I can shape shift into animals and Mystical Creatures"

"How amazing, I am truly in love with your powerful existence!" He spoke, grabbing both if Kazuichis hands.

"Yeah... Uhm... Cool" Souda murmured, pulling his hands away, ".. But just don't tell anyone, plea-"

"Fine! As long as you transform into a fellow subordinate, such as the four dark devas of destruction!"

"Huh- i-I can't, I'm low..."

"Ah! Of course, you must obtain your mana!" Tanaka smiled, grabbing his hand, "allow me to help!"

He dragged Souda to the kitchen, making him some breakfast.

After Gundham finished, he handed Kazuichi the pancakes, him patiently waiting for him to finish eating.

"C-Can you stop staring at me..." Kazuichi murmured, picking at the pancakes, "helloooo~ Gundham?"

"Hm?!" Gundham immediately lifted his head up, "yes? What is it? Have you obtained your mana?–"

"No, I can't even eat this, you're staring at me... It's making me uncomfortable"

"... Oh... Of course!" Tanaka walked off to the living room, leaving Kazuichi in the dining room.

When Gundham was sitting down on the couch, he suddenly remembered...

He told the cat AND the dog about his feelings for the mechanic...
