You're sat on the couch as you hear Danny walk in the room. Finally leaving his office for the first time today, it seemed. You just moved into a new house and he has been putting off furnishing and decorating his office. You were annoyed with all the boxes of stuff laying around everywhere so you asked (forced) him to finally put everything away and finish his office space for when he has to work. He has been in there since you got home from eating breakfast at a local cafe. That was at around 11pm, and it is now 5pm. You're happy to finally see him again but also know he was not decorating the whole time but probably got distracted by something and spent too much time on it. You do hope that when he shows you the room later it looks somewhat decent with at least half amount the boxes gone.  

'Remember when you said I could ask for cuddles whenever I needed them?' He asks you as he falls down onto the couch next to where you are seated. You smile and nod your head. 'Yeah, I do. And you look like you want some now.' He sighs and closes his eyes, head leaning back against the couch. 'Yes, please. I had such a long day, all I want now is to just cuddle up with you and maybe watch some anime...' he explains. You know yourself that moving in and getting everything unpacked takes a lot of energy, so you can understand that he is tired and annoyed after doing one room. And it is quite a big room to, lots of boxes to unpack and Danny also insisted on getting a lot of new shelves to store things on. His plushies needed a better space to be put on than just a pile on the floor, so he chose some nice shelves. You could tell he put them up today by the noises the drilling machine made to put some holes in the walls. 'I'm sure we could do that, baby, come here,' you tell him. You tap the couch closer to you, signalling for him to cuddle up into you. 

Instead of cuddling up into your side Danny decides to fully lay down on the couch - it's big enough anyway, maybe that's why he wanted this one - and lays his head in your lap. 'You are my pillow now,' Danny states, eyes closing again. He lets out another deep breath, letting you know he is comfortable like this. 'Wanna tell me what you did?' you ask him, after he has been quiet for a while. He shakes his head in responds before saying 'Not right now, maybe later.' 'That's ok. Would you like some head scratches?' you ask but before you even realise your hand is already in his hair. 'Hmm, please, yes,' Danny hums in agreement. 'Did you shower today?' you ask him after a while. 'Yeah, like an hour ago, why?' Danny replies. 'Your hair is really soft after you wash it, feels really nice. I like playing with it,' you explain to him. Your hand continuing to move on his head while you talk. 

After a while of silence you suggest to turn on the TV to watch a series, Danny nods in agreement, eyes still closed. You lean over to the side opposite of where Danny is laying and grab the Tv remote. You turn on a series the both of you are watching and move to get a little more comfortable. You hear a whine coming from Danny as you move too much for his liking. You give him a soft pat on the head to shut him up and in  return you get a pout. 'What, I'm not allowed to sit comfortably anymore?' you ask him, but get no responds. Your hands find their way back into Danny's hair and this time you decide to start braiding it. You haven't braided someone else's hair in quite a long time and get curious to see if you are still good at it. A few moments later, when you are nearing the end of the braid, you hear Danny let out another whine. 'What is it this time?' you ask him, looking down at his face. 'You're pulling too hard!' Danny says with a pout showing on his face. 'Sorry. Didn't mean to...' 'I want back scratches to make up for that' Danny states 'please and thank you.' You laugh and flick his ear with your fingers. 'You're so demanding today, wow.' Danny's eyebrows furrow together and he looks at you with a fake mad expression.  'Had a long day of cleaning up. Let me get pampered in peace by my lovely, wonderful, sweet partner,' Danny said, overemphasising the last part. 'Anything else you need? Or are you just complimenting me with nothing to gain?' You raise your eyebrows as you wait for him to come up with another witty comment. 'Just one dose of back scratches, please,' is all he says in reply.  'Hm, only because you look so sweet laying down on me,' you tell him and comply. 'Thank you,' he says, already moving to turn around so you can reach his back. 

'You can go to sleep, if you need to,' you tell Danny, voice soft as to not disturb his peace. HE is still laying down with you on the couch. Not looking like he is going to move from his spot anytime soon. 'I can stay awake with you,' Danny mumbles. 'Then we both are taking a nap after dinner. I want you a little more relaxed. Since you had a long day I prescribe a nap with more cuddles!' you tell him, hand once again finding it's way back into Danny's hair. 'Sounds good. Who's making dinner?' he asks, probably because his stomach rumbled. He has not eaten in a while, being full from the late breakfast and too busy to realise it was getting too late for a lunch. 'Well, since you are quite comfortable to have laying on me, I was thinking of ordering some take out for tonight. I can't say I want to get up and cook something either. May be a bit much since we also got breakfast this morning, but I think it is acceptable for once. We even tried to cook proper meals when we just moved in when we could have ordered take away, so,' you ramble. You already have your phone in your hand so you look up nearby spots that deliver to your place. 'Sounds good. Take away and anime it is.'
