(Fun fact: cats headbutt each other as a way to kiss or show affection)

Having been at NRC for a few months now, you’ve seen some crazy things. From talking fire breathing cats (Grimm) to overblot, you've been assigned to basically handle it all.

After the spell drive incident you were positive Leona must loathe you for spoiling his plans. Even if you did save his life.

At least, thats the only logical solution you can come up with. Otherwise, why the hell else would he headbutt you every time he saw you?!

If you passed each other in the halls he'd grab the back of your neck and tap his forehead to yours hard before continuing on as if nothing happened.

Today was no different.

You were in the botanical gardens on an errand from Professor Crewel when suddenly you hear a hiss. You had stepped on the lion beastman’s tail while he was sleeping on the dirt under some plants.

“Oi! Herbivore, watch where you step!”

He growled as he sat up scratching the back of his head. You stumble over your words to apologize but his other hand reached out and grabbed you wrist yanking you down on top of his lap roughly.

You hardly have time to register before he has a hand in your hair and is pressing his forehead to yours. His eyes blink sleepily before closing completely as he almost seems to…relax?

He pulls you closer as he subtly began rubbing his head against yours gently as his tail flicked leisurely. A hand went to your waist to pull you flush against his body, his muscles well defined even through the fabric of his uniform.

“Stupid herbivore,”

He mumbled under his breath as his emerald green eyes slowly open to meet your gaze. A small smirk plays on his lips as his eyes narrow.

“Well? What do you say when you step on someone?”

His words weren’t a threat, they’re a promise. He expected something out of you. You disrupted his nap after all. And while he’s not one for words, he certainly doesn’t mince them.

“Well, herbivore? Are you gonna apologize or must I think of a proper punishment?”
