Pillowtalk With the Newly Adopted Neko; part 2

Hmmnh? What time is it... 3 'o clock in the morning? What even woke me up? *sigh* Of course, it's you. The love doctor has decided to wrap their stupid arms around me. How is that even a comfortable way to sleep? Your arm is crushed under my side...

*sigh* You know what, I'm just gonna roll over and... *quiet gasp* [softly] No no no, don't wake up. That's it, squeeze me tight and stay asleep. *sigh* You're *so* affectionate even when you're not conscious.

I *still* don't know what to do with you. It's not even like you're a kitten that needs constant attention. Actually, you're older than me. How is it that you're so lovey-dovey? Maybe it's just that you really like me. [wistfully] I hope it's cause you really like me, that'd be just... *happy sigh*

You know, you're so damn cute when you're asleep. And when you're awake. At all times. I can see why master liked you; just a big fluff ball of sweetness. Though I won't admit it to you, I really like you. You're such a sweetie. So affectionate.

And you're squeezing me again... Ow ow ow... I can't breathe...

Here, maybe if I give you some scritchies you'll loosen your grip on me.

*scritching SFX*

Yea, there you go. Don't need to be awake to enjoy some scritchies, do you?
That's it, relax yourself-- and let go of my ribcage...

There we go, that's more bearable. Finally, I can try to get back to sleep.

Oh no, you want even more? You're pushing your head into me... *whiny* Honey, I want to go back to bed. Please just let me sleep... You know what, I've given you enough attention, so, instead of giving you endless scritches I'm going to just pull you in close so you stop pushing your head against me.

Hmm? Oh no. No no no, don't wake up, don't wake up...

Damn it, you woke up.

Excuse me? My fault? How?

[mockingly] "I was too loud" Well excuse me I'm-going-to-crush-your-ribcage, but that was kind of painful, what else was I supposed to do? Additionally, you were the one subconsciously *begging* for scritchies, which I gave you because I'm *just* that nice of a neko. I deserve some recognition for that.

You know, if you're having such a problem with me trying to get comfortable while having a big furball that insists on grappling me, maybe you should try sleeping on the *other* side of the bed. The damn thing's big enough for 4 people and you decide to sleep *right* next to me. Now, who's fault is that? Oh right, yours.

You're not moving. Why aren't you moving?

*sigh* Oh, right. I'm "warm, soft, and cuddly". You simply cannot sleep without snuggling up against me. I forgot.

What? I have to get you back to sleep? Why? It's not my fault that you woke yourself up, nor is it my fault that *you* need affection to go to sleep. I already gave you *so* much love when we first went to bed, so much so that I didn't get to sleep until at least midnight. Why do I have to do that again?

Don't... Don't give me those eyes... Or pout... Fine, fine, just--here, let me lay on my back so you can lay on top of me. That way you can't crush my ribs. Again.

There you go. Wait-- no-- you're licking my face? And smearing it with your cheeks? I-I don't... You lose all inhibition when you're tired, don't you?

No no, you don't have to thank me like that, you can just say the words "thank you".

My face isn't hot; and even if it was it's cause I'm angry, not embarrassed...

Don't act so smug, it's not like I *enjoy* you being so lovey-dovey. Now, shut up and lay your head down on my chest.

There you go, snuggle yourself in close.

Hmm? You've been awake for a while? Uhh, how long is "a while"?

What exactly did you hear me say?

I didn't complain *that* much.

Fine, I did, but can you really blame me? You were crushing me with your stupidly strong grip. How are you even that strong? You're so thin and lithe.

I-I didn't say I liked you, you must've dreamt that.

I'm not lying! Okay, so I don't *hate* you anymore, but I wouldn't say I *like* you.

Fine, fine. You're *tolerable*. How about that, is that better? I'm beginning to *tolerate* how needy and affectionate you are.

You know, you aren't as loving on master, why are you like that with me?

Y-you like me? Like, in a friendly way [hopefully] orrrr...

More than that? That's grea--uhm-- that's fine, I think you're pretty cool too.

No I didn't say I hoped you liked me.

Oh my god you really were awake this whole time, weren't you?

God damn it...

Don't you use that sing-song voice on me!

Fine, fine, I like you. I like you a lot. A lot, a lot. You've become really special to me and I've been hopeful that all the love and attention you've been giving me *wasn't* platonic and I--mmphh [listener kisses you SFX]

That... *definitely* wasn't platonic.

Hey, I don't want to *assume* things. I know master wanted us to hit it off like that, but, if you didn't I didn't want to-- to--mmphh [listener kisses you again SFX]

[frustrated] Can you stop doing that? I'm trying to talk here!

You'd rather I shut up and hold you? Okay, okay, fine. I--I just... I'm glad you like me. Now, can we actually go to sleep?
