[ he curls up against his owner, purring loudly. he's so warm - perfect for this cold weather. but he can't help but hide his face in the crook of sandalphon's neck for more of that warmth, and also to whisper to his skin: ]
...I'm not going anywhere till then.
[ now that he's full of food and positive attention, it'll be easy for him to fall sleep in this position too, since sandalphon can't possibly try moving his cat in order to go to the kitchen and see the mess. yes, this is the perfect plan. ]
[So what happens when they wake up later and the kitchen's still a mess? He's gonna find out sooner or later....
But for now, he's more than happy to let Izumi snuggle as close as he wants, gently encircling his waist with his arms in a loose embrace. He'd thought this part of owning a cat might be weird at first, but it's so nice...it's so comforting to have someone else's warmth and weight so close to him. The gentle vibrations of Izumi's purring nestled against his chest make him feel more at peace than he's felt in a long time.]
...You don't ever have to leave.
[The words escape him before he has a chance to bottle them up.]
I didn't offer to let you live here just to make you feel like you owe me. This is your home, Izumi. For as long as you want it to be. At least tell me you understand that.
[It's his dearest hope that Izumi wants this to be his home for a very long time to come.
[ he'd tell sandalphon that he understands, that he likes living here and being with him more than he's willing to admit, but he's already falling asleep in sandalphon's arms before even registering what his owner had just said. sandalphon is warm, so warm, that izumi can't help but cling more to have more of it.
well, the mess will still be there by the time sandalphon checks the kitchen, but at the very least izumi's assured that he won't be kicked out of the house because of it. isn't it wonderful? ]
[Sandalphon sighs, shifting his legs slightly to get just a little more comfortable. If Izumi's falling asleep it means he won't be going anywhere for awhile, after all. There's nothing stopping him from waking his cat up and getting them both properly to bed, but...well, it would be a waste of such a lovely moment.
He leans down and presses a gentle kiss to Izumi's forehead, when he's sure he's asleep. He can't quite tell yet, so it's possible he hasn't waited long enough, though—but even if Izumi is awake to feel it...would that really be so bad?]
[ izumi definitely felt that, and he can't help his cheeks warming up as he snuggles up to sandalphon, effectively trapping him on the couch. his owner, despite a grumpy individual most of the time, may be one of the kindest men izumi's ever met - and izumi's met a lot of them. hell, one might even say that sandalphon can be quite an angel.
so yes, sandalphon has no choice but to sleep here. either way, izumi will wake up before dawn anyway as cats do, and if sandalphon hasn't woken up by that time he'll have to clean up the mess instead. then sandalphon would be none the wiser, and they'll continue living their slowburn lives in this homely apartment. ]
