Western Uncertainties 3

Sunlight seeped threw the cave entrance shining Tennessee in the eyes, stirring him awake. He hat covered his eyes like it always did as he slept, the blanket was down at his waist keeping most of him warm. He felt something else emanating heat on his upper body.
He lifted up his had to see white fur, and head nuzzling into his neck. Arms were around his chest, some how during the night his shirt was unbuttoned and one of Neko's hands had slipped under in and rested on his exposed chest musculus. Tennessee normal reaction would have been to jump out of bed and leave Neko sitting there alone. But before he could get him self to do it, he caught a glimpse of Neko's face.
He was smiling. He looked so sweet, so uncorupted. Tennessee felt the tail that was resting on his leg start to swish as his guest started to awake. His eyes slowly fluttered open looking at Tennessee still smiling. It was a second before Neko noticed what he was doing and he pulled away to the other side of the bed.
"Holy..... I'm sorry, I .... I didn't mean to," Tennessee held up a hand to silence him.
"It's all fine, nothing for you to be sore about fella."
Tennessee pulled the cover off them and head to the part of the hide out that worked as a makeshift kitchen. There was an iron wood burning stove and a couple of pots and pans in there.
"You must be hungry, may I offer an egg or two?" Tennessee placed a log in the stove and lit the fire as he was pulling out a pan to cook with.
"Yes please. I haven't eaten since early yesterday, before I followed you out here."
Tennessee nodded as he cracked two eggs into the pan and started to scramble them with an old spachula. "Ya, about that. You ain't planning on letting anyone know I'm out here are ya? Cause if ya are I'll be out of here faster then a mare with it's main a blaze."
Neko looked up at him from the bed. "No never. I.... I always wanted to be a thief like you myself. Heck that's probably one of the reasons i followed you all this way."
Tennessee stopped and stared at the eggs for a second thinking to himself  "A thief like me? I was born into this life, haven't met too many people who wanted to be like him." He looked back up at Neko not even finished with his thoughts before he said "how would you like for me to make you a thief?" Neko stared up at him the look of utter shock on his face.
"You mean teaching me how to be like you?"
"That's exactly what I mean," Tennessee wasn't sure what made him make this offer to the guy, maybe it was his dedication, or maybe just that look in his eyes "I mean teaching you to pick a pocket, plan a heist, maybe if, and only an if, your lucky even my own technique the rail slide."
Before he could even put the egg down on the table he felt arms around him again. He had to admit the embrace felt warm and comforting. Neko was repeating thank you's to him and smiling. Tennessee playful put his hat on top of Neko's head "for now lets eat firts."
