When Touya stressed over how he should tell him how he felt about him now, Kiri let out a small sigh.

Well, it cant be helped. Im the one at fault for keeping quiet about it. At first, I intended on being more patient, butmy plans got a little out of hand. If you dont marry me, well have to discuss what you

Once he realized he had taken that as a refusal, Touya frantically interrupted Kiris words.

Um, Kiri.

Since he had a feeling a conversation about whether he was going to be his wife or not was happening way too fast, he planned on telling him, please give me more time, until Ive regained my true self. However, once he knew Kiri had tried to get close to him while taking care not to frighten him, something welled up in his chest. At the moment, he liked him, but he may have felt something like gratitude more. Even so, when Kiri had said, cats and tigers are similaras if to play dumb, he suddenly felt dear to him. That was because even if he were to search the entire world, only a tiger like Kiri would pretend to be a cat so he wouldnt be feared.

What?

Touya took a deep breath, then spoke immediately.

Kirium, Id like to have the wedding. I want to live with you and the children.

Kiri froze for a moment as he looked at Touya. He was worried that he hadnt heard his very important decision.

Weddingseriously?

Now Touya was the one confused by the reply that finally came.

Huh? Seriouslywere you joking, Kiri?

No way. It wasnt a joke. But your ears are still lowered in fear.

Shocked, Touya held down his cat ears. It didnt matter if the person himself had made the decision, or that he didnt think Kiri was scary, his bodys reaction seemed to be totally betraying him.

I-Ill get used to it soon. I mean, youre a big cat. Mimizuku seems to truly believe that too.

Kiris mouth warped a little before he let out hearty laugh. He wondered what was so funny, he had made the decision himself, butwhen he started to feel like objecting, a hand was suddenly held out towards him.

Thats right. Im a big cat. Come here.

When he slowly came closer, his arm was grabbed, pulling him closer into a tight embrace. Kiri stroked Touyas cat ears gently, carefully combing his fur, he then kissed and licked them. He once again really did feel as though Kiri was someone special to him. He knew he was a tiger, but he felt at ease in his arms

However, there was something he was concerned about regarding their marriage.

Kiri, I have one more question.

What is it?

Since you and Isince cats and tigers are different, how can we have children? Even males can get pregnant, right? Is it still all right if its not two cats, or two tigers?

Ever since he found out Kiri was a tiger, that had been pulling on his heart somewhere. His doubts were innocent, but Kiri looked as though he were at a loss.

Its a little different from animal reproductionits like I explained before, its through spiritual energy.

Then, I can have a tiger baby?

Thats right. But we dont need to rush to have children. We have Natsuki and Akio after all.

He thought that was surely the reason Kiri wanted him as a wife, but that didnt seem to be the case.
