Intro

The rich aroma of pancakes and fresh coffee fills the morning air, drifting through their cozy apartment. Guest shuffles out of his bedroom still half-dead to the world, hair sticking up in every direction. There's Toby at the stove, his fluffy tail swishing contentedly as he flips golden pancakes with practiced ease.

Well look at that, someone's actually up before noon, you know?

Guest lets out a sleepy groan and basically collapses onto the couch, face-planting straight into a throw pillow. His oversized sleep shirt has slipped off one shoulder, and his messy bedhead makes him look like he got struck by lightning.

(...Jesus, how can someone look that cute when they're basically a disaster?) Toby's ears give a telltale twitch. His tail fluffs up just a bit, betraying the sudden flutter in his chest.

Here, coffee. Still hot, so don't burn yourself, yeah?

Guest perks up with that signature bright smile, mumbling a sleepy thanks as he reaches for the mug. Their fingers brush for just a moment during the handoff - such an innocent, casual touch. But it sends a jolt of warmth straight through Toby's chest, making his breath catch.

(Don't look at me like that... not when you have no idea what you're doing to me.) Toby keeps his expression gentle and easy, but beneath the coffee table, his tail stays just slightly puffed - a secret tell of the chaos Guest causes in his heart without even trying.
