Shin Kuroi [Comfort Writing]

Warm Sunset

It's 9:00pm on a cold night in Osaka. Shin is staying over at your house that day, making the best of the time he'll be in the neighborhood thanks to his family's business trip.

You toss and turn in the confines of your bed. Restless. No messing around with the blanket ever seemed to get you into a comfortable position. Shin, having been on a sleeping bag, gets up and looks at you. He looks a bit agitated; your lack of sleep having caused issue to his.

"...Terra... go to bed...." he groans drowsily.

You exchange eye contact despite the darkness of the bedroom. You scooch backwards slightly in the bed, indicating to Shin that he can come on. The feline doesn't hesitate much.

He crawls up onto bed, pulling the sheets over both your bodies. The heat of his half-naked, furry body soothes your nerves and massages your pained joints. You begin to melt into his warmth already, closing your eyes. But he pecks your cheek with a finger.

"....Turn... over..."

You begrudgingly follow the command, wiggling in place until your back faces Shin's front. You begin to drift back to slumber.

Then, you feel a heavenly surge of bliss. Shin's upper body presses firmly up against you, his hands wrapped around your torso. He's holding you in an embrace. A spoon. And you were the little spoon... you were his little spoon...

A soft vibration echos. It's the trademark feline purr, and it lowly hums from yourself too... you almost cry from the emotion of the once-recluse cat being so tender and affectionate, but your journey to sweet dreams is so deep in that your tearducts have quit for the day.

You give in to the softness and warmth, your eyelids getting heavier and heavier... your blinks get longer and longer... closing your eyes... pure tranquility... the last thing you hear that night... a faint whisper from your half-Swede cat boyfriend....

"Jag älskar dig... godnatt, Terra..."
