First Cat Returns Fan fic. Baron x Haru. This goes against my very nature but this is going to be a short Song Fic about our lovely heros. Song's by Rascal Flatts. I'm a country girl and all, sure but I found he's one of the only song artist that can hold my interest with more than one song. My opinion guys. Don't own anything but my account that lets me write these things. And since this is only a one shot I believe I can post it without feeling guilty. Enjoy guys.
Baron sat at his desk doing paperwork. The usual. It was twilight. But he couldn't sleep. His hand gripped the pen in his hand a bit too hard.
In a book- in a box- in the closet
He kept glancing at his closet. Where he knew in a small box was an album of photos of Haru, Toto, Muta and himself. Haru's idea.
In a line- in a song I once heard
And a familiarly haunting melody played its tune in his head, and heart.
In a moment on a front porch late one June
The scene of Haru, now human and big again smiling at him and said the words that haunted his soul just like the melody, "For the record Baron, I might have a little crush on you."
In a breath inside a whisper beneath the moon
"Just for the record, I admire a young woman who speaks from the heart," He'd missed his chance.
There it was at the tip of my fingers
Her head tilted into his touch.
There it was on the tip of my tongue
"The bureau will always be open to you, day or night."
There you were and I had never been that far. There it was the whole world wrapped inside my arms
The scene when they'd danced flashed across his eyes for half a second.
And I let it all slip away
He jumped and did a fancy spin onto the back of Toto and flew off.
What do I do now that you're gone?
The scene faded and his paperwork came back into focus.
No backup plan no second chance. And no one else to blame
He was always the one to come up with a plan, but he didn't exactly believe in second chances. And really there was no one but himself to blame.
All I can hear in the silence that remains
He slammed his fists into the hard oak table.
Are the words I couldn't say
"I…I…" He tried to speak, "Haru, I," But it was no use. There was no point in saying them out loud now.
There's a rain that will never stop fallin'
He turned to his window and the sun had just set. A light rain began to fall. It was monsoon season, but Baron's ache in his chest made it seem like it was because the one person who he'd fallen for wasn't here with him.
There a wall that I tried to take down
He was a poised Aristo…cat. And he almost never lost his composer. He kept himself in check, but Haru seemed to be able to take down each and every one of his defenses with simply a gesture of affection.
What I should have said just wouldn't pass my lips
"Haru… I think I may…" Baron tried to form the words, "Haru I believe that I…"
So I held back and now we've come to this
It couldn't happen. Creation to human was simply unheard of, never mind the fact that they were also not the same species even if he was true flesh and blood. But he still had a soul and heart. And he couldn't keep them from falling for her.
And it too late now
And now? She was gone. Gone away to college and wouldn't be coming back any time soon. Who knows what happens on those campuses.
All I can hear in the silence that remains
"Why you Birdbrain!" The sudden outburst jarred Baron from his thoughts. They were at it again? So much for peace and quiet for the evening.
Are the words I couldn't say
In his head he tried to push the unwanted emotion down deep into his core. But it fought back with a vengeance.
I should have found a way to tell you how I felt
Baron was always the one to figure out a way. But this time, he just couldn't.
Now the only one I'm tellin' is myself.
"Haru, I think that I may indeed…" He sighed, "Feel the same way?" He wasn't even sure. He just couldn't find a good way to say it. Not even to himself.
What do I do now that you're gone?
She'd come back a few times before she'd left. And each time the feeling had grown stronger. She, herself, had matured and grown older. Why? Baron thought desperately as he remembered her kitten like face, why had she had to go and grow up. Instead of cute, now she was downright beautiful.
No backup plan no second chance.
She'd hugged him once and for some odd reason Baron had found that his cheeks were burning. She'd even grown so bold as to scratch behind his ear. And he'd been so taken by surprise he couldn't stop a purr that came from deep in his throat.
And no one else to blame
He would have been ashamed when she laughed and his cheeks only got hotter but then she'd said it was cute! Cute! Baron Humbert von Gikkingen, cute! He couldn't help another blush.
Muta and Toto hadn't stopped teasing him for a week. Wait…
All I can hear in the silence that remains
The yelling had stopped. What on earth could possibly have stopped those two from their reoccurring fights? Not many things. Only He, himself, and…
Are the words I couldn't say.
Haru.
What do I do? What do I say?
Baron ran as fast as he could downstairs, making no noise as most cats do. If it really was Haru… He didn't even think he could form a proper sentence.
All I can here is the silence that remains.
The silence was deafening. He stood at the door. He dare not look out the window. He was about to push the doors open when the silence was broken by a faint knock. Baron held his breath and opened the doors
Are the words I couldn't say.
Haru stood in his door way cat size and smiling brightly at him. "Hello Baron."
Short isn't my thing. I know its poorly written. If you would like me to continue though, I'd be happy to. But, my dear readers, that is all up to you. Do you want another chapter? Comment if you do. I'll decide if I have enough reviewers that say yes if I'll put it up. You just need to tell me if you want it up. Thanks for reading! Bye!
