Sasuke wakes to snuffling and scraping, and at first he wonders if Naruto's being a pest next to him--but the scrape is different, sounds like cardboard, and he slept alone last night.
Blearily, he rubs his eyes and looks down at the side of his bed where the noise is coming from. Reads the note. Frowns. Opens the box.
"If this is a joke about my hair, it isn't funny," he hollers, very carefully lifting the little animal from the box. It's warm, and soft, and surprisingly easy to handle--it snuffles at his wrist, and attempts to climb up his arm.
Shisui hears him, and grins, flipping the omelet he was making downstairs.
About ten minutes later, he makes his way upstairs to Sasuke's room and opens the door, full of smiles, despite having only slept three hours. Obviously, his head is in the clouds because of something else, but he won't mention that just yet.
"Well? Do you like?" He sits right beside Sasuke on the bed, looking over at the little guy in his hands ♥ "Everybody else has cats and dogs and gerbils."
"A girl." He reaches out to pick up the little hedgehog in his hand and gently turns her over, tickling that fluffy belly for a bit before cautiously bringing a finger down near the tail. "The female's genitals are immediately next to the anus. If it was a boy," - he runs his finger up the hedgie's belly - "it'd almost resemble a belly button because the penis would be somewhere around here."
And now, because the hedgie is going to struggle a little, Shisui gently flips her over again and puts her back into Sasuke's hands. "So what're you going to call her?"

His heart squishes, just a little.
Not that he'll tell anyone.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" he asks, trying not to squirm as the little hedge-feet tickle over his palm, the animal crawling against his wrist.
