Frankenstein hummed as he tied his hair back, walking to the kitchen. He had just finished as Tao called out to him from the closest cat tower.
"Raow!"
That was all the warning he got before Tao leaped at him, skidding along Frankenstein's shoulders before stopping with his claws.
"Hello to you too," Frankenstein said, Tao bunting his cheek.
Tao did that a few times, his purring filling Frankenstein's ears.
Frankenstein winced when Tao's attention was drawn away and he felt the kitten patting his ponytail. "Yes, my hair is supposed to stay tied together - ah, ah," he said, feeling Tao tugging some hair free.
"Mrow!" Tao said when Frankenstein lifted him away.
"You can play with my hair, but you can't pull," Frankenstein chided him gently, tapping Tao's nose. Though, telling a kitten not to play with a moving object was an exercise in futility.
"Mrow," Tao said, wriggling.
Frankenstein sighed, setting Tao back on his shoulder. Unsurprisingly, the kitten went back to playing with his ponytail.
If his hair distracted Tao from trying to jump into a pot or touch any ingredients, then he could work in relative peace.
* * *
"Mrowmrow," Tao called out as he trotted after Frankenstein.
"Ah, don't do that," Frankenstein said when Tao dashed forward, twining in between his legs, looking up at him. "All right, up you come before I step on you." Frankenstein picked Tao up. Tao scrambled onto his shoulder, peering at what Frankenstein had been preparing.
"You haven't seen shrimp before, have you?" Frankenstein mused, turning to wash his hands. He hadn't cooked any while Tao had been in the house.
"Raow."
"Still impatient," Frankenstein said, smiling. He picked up the bowl of shrimp shells after drying his hands, holding it close to Tao.
Tao purred as he leaned in, tail swishing across Frankenstein's back.
Satisfied, Frankenstein returned to work.
* * *
Frankenstein saw Tao bounding over the sofa back as he walked past. He lifted his elbow as Tao launched himself at him, latching onto his ribs, scrambling up.
"Let me tie my hair back first before you start playing with it, mm?" He had barely started when Tao saw him.
"Mrow!" Tao playbit at his fingers as they moved. Not hard enough to draw blood, Tao trying to bite and swat at both Frankenstein's fingers and the braid in turns.
The hairtie fell into place with a satisfying snap, and even with Tao tugging at it, Frankenstein didn't feel it loosen. Good.
"Mrrr," Tao droned in Frankenstein's ear.
"Is it to your satisfaction?" Frankenstein said, walking to the kitchen.
"Rrrr." Tao continued batting Frankenstein's braid every time it swung towards him.
* * *
"Mrow!" Tao demanded, twining in between Frankenstein's feet just after he walked into the living room.
"I'm not-"
"Mrowmrowmrow!" Tao jumped up and Frankenstein caught him before he could land.
"I'm not preparing anything right now," Frankenstein told him, bringing Tao up so Tao could climb onto his shoulder. If anything, he had just finished testing a few more recipes in the lab.
"Mrowmrow!"
Frankenstein winced, petting Tao. The kitten could be loud when he wanted to, especially when he was next to his ears.
"Are you hungry? Or thirsty?" Tao's water fountain was still running and Tao's food dish wasn't completely empty either.
Tao was staring in the direction of the kitchen. "Mrow!"
"Do you want to be carried there?" Frankenstein hazarded. He'd seen M-21 transport Tao from place to place sometimes.
Amusement down his link with Master. "Mm? Master?"
Master sipped his tea. "He has learned that when you tie your hair up," Master said, amusement growing, "that is when you go to the kitchen and give him interesting things to smell."
When he...? Frankenstein touched his hair. He had just finished in the lab and hadn't taken the braid out yet.
Tao seemed to take that as a hint, batting at Frankenstein's head and the braid. "Raaaow?"
"I see." Frankenstein hummed, and then pulled his braid free, running his fingers through his hair.
Tao stared at him, his tail stilling as he batted Frankenstein's loose hair. "Raow...?"
"We won't be eating for a while yet," Frankenstein told him, petting Tao. "I had been doing something else beforehand." Though maybe he should bring Tao to the lab when he was testing recipes, hm.
"Mrow?"
"I don't need to start preparing now," Frankenstein said, walking away from the kitchen, "but I'll play with you until then." He picked up one of Tao's toys from the drawer they were stored in.
Tao had already hopped off Frankenstein's shoulder, chasing it as Frankenstein led him towards the floor.
He could do this to pass the time until he needed to start making dinner.
Realised from the previous part that Frankenstein should really be tying hair back whenever he's in the kitchen. I might try and draw him with a ponytail or braid, haha.
