[The cat whisperer works even when he is sound asleep! ...well, not quite sound asleep, but enough to have a nice, relaxing nap. The Iris week is exhausting as hell so Souji takes every opportunity to laze around and literally rest his back ~~and bottom~~.

But he kneading into his shirt he catches because the little nails from the paw get to his skin through the material. He grumbles quietly, bringing his arm up to rub at his eyes and open them, blearily looking around.]

'suke? [More eye rubbing.] Stop poking me with n...

[His voice cuts off when his eyes finally catch the orange tabby on his chest and his hand comes up to scratch it gently behind the ear.]

Hey, buddy. Where did you come from? [Scratch, scratch. Then he frowns and squints at Yosuke-] Was it wandering around our house? Is it hurt?

[She stopped kneading and leaned into his touch, purring loudly as she settled into a skinny loaf.]

She was adopted by me. The animal shelter near the sports center had a flyer out for recently found cats. She’s a little malnourished still, but she’s been recovering well. I couldn’t resist.

[He knelt down next to the couch, resting his chin in his hands and propping his elbows on his knees.]

I’m surprised you hadn’t gotten a cat sooner, to be honest, partner.

[Souji's eyes go wide and he was about to sit up but- can't disturb sleeping kitty. It's a golden, unwritten rule that everyone follows.]

You adopted her!? Really!? [He looks down at her, fingers still scratching behind ears. Yes, it's visible she's skinny but that will change if Souji has any say in it.]

I mean... we have a lot on our plates, with moonblessings and everything. But I did want a cat!

[His other free hand goes running across Yosuke's cheek to his ear and he smiles,] Thank you, Yosuke. This is the best gift ever.

[If it were Sanguis time, his doggy tail would be wagging at the praise and pets that he got as well. Instead, he simply flushed and grinned.]

I’m sure we’ll make it work. You should give her a name, partner. They just called her orange to make it easy, I think she was the only orange tabby at the time. But I’m sure you can come up with something better than fruit.

[A puppy and now a cat. Souji is a very lucky person, that's for sure. His fingers curl into Yosuke's shirt to pull him closer so he can give him a short peck on the lips.]

A name...

[He stares at the kitten in contemplation, scratching it behind her ears.]

How about Amber?

[She's orange, amber color, and a girl. It fits.]

[He giggled into the kiss, before he lost his balance and his booty hit the floor. He was already crouched down, so it was hardly much of a fall. His hand kept himself propped up on the floor.]

Amber is cute. I like it. You should finish your nap, I'll get her stuff taken care of and dinner started, yeah?

[Sorry Yosuke, he couldn't hold himself back. You surprised him and he doesn't know what else to do to thank you!]

No! No, I'll help! I want to. Oh! We should build a scratching post. OH! We can ask Kanji to knit us a pillow for her to sleep on! And of course, ton of cat food, she's so skinny, poor thing. I'll fish up a storm!

Souji, just breathe and let me do this, okay?

[It was a gentle chastising as he swept Souji’s bangs from his forehead.]

I already got the cat food taken care of for now and we’ll get the rest of the things tomorrow. I don’t work so we can spend the day shopping. They gave me enough to hold her over for tonight. Promise, she’ll be fine.

[He takes Yosuke's hand to give it a brief kiss. Because he's sappy romantic like that.]

Alright, alright. I'll remain here and cuddle with her. But we're definitively getting her a huge pillow to nap on.

Good boy.

[A cheeky grin despite his blush. He pushed himself up and walked to the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves.]

I have a feeling she won’t use the pillow if she’s got you. But I guess we can try it.

[Hm, what to make... Yosuke took a look at their food supply to decide. He wanted something hot and filling, but not heavy.]

You up for minestrone?

Well, just in case. Think Kanji would knit something for her?

[He's already imagining dressing the kitten up in cute things. A pirate cat!

A warm feeling settles in his chest as he watches Yosuke work around the kitchen and hums as he scratches Amber behind her ears.]

Sounds delicious.

[He's never been picky eater (Mystery Food not included)]

I’m sure he would. You know he loves doing that kind of stuff.

[He was no Souji in the kitchen, but being around him certainly helped improve his skills. He may be tired, having worked all day and such, but it was worth it to dote on Souji rather than the other way around. It wasn’t very long where everything was in the pot and cooking. He took that moment to step away and walk back into the living room so he could check in on Souji and Amber.]

It’ll be ready soon, need anything?

Mmm. I'll ask him.

[Yosuke's gotten really good at cooking, Souji can't lie. He loves pampering his boyfriend because of his new work, it's a pretty cool spot being CEO's assistant. But yes, Yosuke still insists to cook sometimes and Souji can't do much except yield.
When Yosuke comes over, Souji appears a bit drowsy and the kitten is still fast asleep on top of him. He smiles and raises up both of his hands-]

You. To cuddle with me.

That’s dangerous with food on the stove. Raincheck till after dinner?

[He laughed and took Souji’s hands anyway though, intertwining their fingers to squeeze but he didn’t attempt to join him on the couch. Not yet anyway.]

[Souji grins and pulls him forward- not harshly, but enough to sit down on the edge of the couch.]

Sure. But sit with me until it's done. Or I'll fall asleep again.

[Like a cat.]

You need your sleep, partner.

[He felt for him. And he would have to get up to stir the soup every so often, make sure the taste was coming out okay and such, but he still sat down on the edge as he was pulled.]

If you're not too sleepy after dinner, we could do the cat shopping then if you want to.
