"Yes!"

He realized how quickly he answered that, just how eager he sounded, and he cleared his throat and schooled his expression.

"That sounds lovely."

Fighting a smile, he kept his head ducked, using his hair to hide his face. It was long enough to, he hadn't trimmed it in a while.

"What were you planning on doing tonight?"

He blushed, instantly ducking his head to hide it. He rarely lets people see him sleep, so that compliment caught him off guard.

"If you say so."

"You could have woken me. I wouldn't have minded."

//I don't have anything prepared but I can infodump at you if you want!

The easiest TLDR I can send you is that this is a future face of @universejumping.bsky.social 🤣

He rubbed at his face, heading over to join her. He shouldn't be too hot to the touch. Warm, as always, but not scalding.

"I should not have done that here." He admitted, sheepishly. "I usually can sense when a prolonged sleep is oncoming."

"... Yes, right."

He started to stand, wandering towards the window to get a look at the outside.

"I have been sleeping for a while, then. My apologies."

Rubbing at his eyes, glancing over to a mirror. He starts fidgeting with his hair. Still disoriented, but starting to recognize his surroundings.

"Is it? Morning?"

He should probably check his phone. See what day it is and what time it is.

He's been resting.

But now he's slowly blinking awake, stretching like a cat. Slightly disoriented.

". . . I am awake."

Picking up his glass and taking a sip, he hummed in acknowledgement.

"That sounds lovely. Besides, I picked dinner last time. It's your turn."

He got up a moment later, taking the time to stretch all of his limbs. Cat-like as ever.

Then he followed her into the kitchen, making some effort so his footsteps could be heard. He's accidentally startled people in the past.

"That sounds lovely."

He said with a nod, locking his iPad and setting it to the side.

"I could make you something."

He offered, tapping at his screen a few times. He'd managed to fight off his blush by now, at least.

He chuckled, turning back to his iPad. Probably to keep his expression hidden.

"Are you hungry?" He asked after a few moments of silence.

He blinked a few times. Processing that.

"You're sweet."

Was he blushing? Maybe.

"Of course I have. Many. I had... let's call it an *adventurous* phase in my youth."

He fought a smirk, shrugging his shoulders casually.

"Nobody has ever asked first."
