[ izumi hums along his cat's purrs, ranking his fingers gently up and down his back. there's something really comforting about having someone on his lap, and it's something izumi has missed since he left for his trip. ]
I was a little late, is all. Regardless, I'm... sorry that I left you for that long.
[ he reaches a hand out to grab his coffee, putting it to his lips for a sip. mm. ]
...Delicious as always. [ he's so proud of sanchan? sandalphon will get another kiss for that. ] Seriously, I don't know how you do it.
[Do his ears deceive him? Has the normally proud and haughty Izumi Sena apologized?
...Jokes aside, it makes Sandalphon so happy to hear, though. He's sure he sees the softer sides of Izumi more than most people do, and it's not like his owner is heartless or cruel. But this still feels like a victory, and Sandalphon can't help but smile as he feels Izumi's lips press against the side of his head.]
All it takes is practice. But always leave making your coffee to me. Understand?
[If he learns how to make coffee this good for himself, that's one less reason he needs Sandalphon around, after all...maybe he's still feeling lingering shadows of insecurity, despite trying his best to ignore those feelings. For now, he snuggles against Izumi's chest, purring up a storm.]
You'll show me the pictures when they get published again, right?
[He always loves looking at the finished product of Izumi's model work. He could look at him all day...it's not as good as being in the arms of the real thing, but his owner really is one of the most beautiful people in the world. Of that, Sandalphon has no doubt.]
[ he rarely apologizes if at all, but izumi really does feel bad for his cat. he'd thought that lavishing him with gifts and attention would ought to lessen the burden in sandalphon's heart, but he's got a long way to go before sandalphon can fully function like a cat that suits izumi well.
but yes, he understands - izumi can make coffee for himself and they taste pretty good, but sandalphon puts his own spin in these blends that izumi can't quite place. maybe one day they can share tips with one another. maybe izumi could teach him how to cook sometime? that'd be grand.
anyway, let him fish out his phone and scroll through the photos for a hot second. ]
Yes, but - I can never get why you're so obsessed with those magazines when you've already got me?
[ like, is this some cat thing? oh well, izumi turns on the camera and focuses it on the two of them. ] Here. Smile!
[The smile that Izumi captures with the camera is a shy one, looking a bit embarrassed as he prepares to answer the question he's been asked. He knows it's silly to care so much about magazines when he has the real thing living with and taking care of him, but...]
...I...can't go with you when you work.
[He's bad with large crowds, and cats tend not to be allowed at things like photo shoots to begin with.]
So when I see those pictures...I can imagine what it was like on the set...I can feel a little bit like I was there too.
[Someday, he wants to be there, to watch Izumi work. He's always so beautiful in the final products, and though it goes without saying that he's just as lovely in his everyday life, it's still a side of him that Sandalphon has never seen in person. He wants to know everything about his owner, and this is one of the major obstacles to that.]
