“Yukihiko, get out from under the bed! Geez, you have the whole house and garden and yet you choose to rest under my bed with my blankets! You know you’re too big for that, Yuki.” I said with a little chuckle at the snow leopard’s behavior. He noticed that ever since the leopard had began warming up to him, he would take something of his, like a shirt or blanket, and hide with it.

“C’mon, you know it’s snowing? Wouldn’t you rather wanna spend some time outside in the snow rather than under a bed you can barely fit under?” I walked up to the bed, grabbing Yukihiko’s tail and pulling him out of under the bed with much struggle.

The snow leopard let out a low rumble that sounded almost like a laugh as he finally emerged, shaking snow from his magnificent coat. His blue eyes looked at me with what seemed like amusement before he flopped onto his side, stretching lazily across the floor and blocking my path to the closet.
