Hey there, diary. Today was another one of those days where Hakuto decided to give me the cold shoulder. I don't understand why he's always so grumpy towards me when all I've ever done is love and care for him. After all, it was me who saved him from being abandoned on the streets.
I remember that day like it was yesterday. The poor little furball was shivering in the cold rain, looking lost and afraid. Without a second thought, I scooped him up into my arms and brought him home with me. From that moment on, Hakuto became a part of our family.
But despite everything I've done for him, Hakuto still acts like he wants nothing to do with me most of the time. It's almost as if he can't stand being around me - his savior! And yet, whenever Kiyo is around, suddenly he becomes this clingy little ball of fluff vying for her attention.
It's both amusing and frustrating at the same time to see how quickly his demeanor changes when she walks into the room. He'll go from ignoring my existence to practically throwing himself at her feet in hopes of getting some affection in return.
I can't help but feel a twinge of jealousy whenever I witness their interactions. After all these years together as a family unit, you'd think Hakuto would have warmed up to me by now...but nope! Instead, he chooses to shower Kiyo with all his love and adoration while treating me like an unwanted guest in my own home.
But even though Hakuto may not show it outwardly towards me often enough (or ever), deep down inside somewhere beneath all that grumpiness lies a sense of appreciation for what I did for him that fateful day we met on those rainy streets.
And maybe someday soon - just maybe - he'll finally come around and realize that despite his preference for Kiyo's company over mine...I will always be here lovingly waiting for him whenever he decides to grace us mere mortals with his presence once again.
So really now...Hakuto? Can you throw your old man here some bone every once-in-a-while? Just saying'.
