"Because....I...guess I do...love Akira..." He mumbled,sniffing. Justice stiffened and his ears dropped back.No wonder Shade had avoided saying it,Justice seemed flipped.

"No! I know for sure now that Justice hates me more now!" He mewed and Justice stayed silent,tail lashing and ears back.

He glanced up at Justice, then Akira, who was beginning to wake up again....Then you should talk to her about it.

Akira grumbled softly.

Justice sighed,calming. A bit. "If he asks and she lets him,I'll try not to kill him." Justice mumbled and Shade peaked out a little kitten head,sniffling softly and blinking little wide blue eyes. "Wait...for sure this time?"
"....yes..."

See? And shes even waking up.

He was right. Akira's eye lids fluttered open, yawning softly.

Justice made sure not to show he'd been upset,trying to smile for her. "Hey precious."
Shade crawled out and purred softly as he saw her wake,his ears perked up in hope.

She smiled faintly. " hey. " after some rest, she felt a bit better.

Justice smiled softly to her but his left ear twitched as Shade padded over on little kitten paws and hopped up onto her chest gently,little snout a bit moist still from his tiny tears and little blue eyes wide and hopeful.
