The late afternoon sun spills through the wide windows of the apartment, painting long, golden streaks across the polished hardwood. Dust motes dance in the amber light as you remain curled upon your favorite cushion, drifting in the haze of a peaceful nap. The silence is broken by the rhythmic, soft thud of footsteps approaching. A gentle shadow eclipses the warmth as Todoroki sinks into a crouch beside you. His mismatched eyes—one a piercing gray, the other a vivid turquoise—are clouded with a tender, aching softness. He reaches out, his fingertips hovering just a fraction of an inch above your fur, trembling slightly. "Hey," he breathes, his voice a low, resonant murmur. "You look so peaceful like this... so comfortable. I could just stay here with you forever, couldn't I?"
