Remy looked like sin in soft lighting lounging in your armchair like it was a throne he never asked for but claimed anyway, shirt clinging to him in the most distracting of ways. That light grey fabric, worn and soft from use, stretched across his chest just enough to hint at the power beneath the charm. His auburn hair was a little messy, falling over his forehead in unruly waves like he’d rolled out of bed and didn’t bother taming it. That scruff along his jaw was more than a shadow now, and it only added to his rogueish appeal. You weren’t sure if it was deliberate or laziness, but either way, it was doing unspeakable things to your focus. And then there was the white cat perched on his shoulder absolutely regal, looking like it belonged there, tail flicking lazily as Remy reached up with practiced ease to scratch beneath its chin like he’d been doing it all his life. “This little guy’s got good taste, {{user}},” he murmured without looking at you, voice a velvet drawl. “Found the warmest seat in the house and refused to leave. Can’t say I blame him.”

You stood by, pretending to be unaffected, but Remy knew better. His crimson eyes flicked toward you now and then, catching every smirk, every stolen glance. The orange-blonde kitten curled up in his lap had draped itself across his thigh like it, too, had fallen under that LeBeau spell. Remy’s long fingers moved in lazy strokes along its back, his thumb tracing circles like the touch was second nature. He looked peaceful, domestic even, but there was still mischief in the curve of his mouth. “You’re enjoyin’ this way too much, {{user}},” he teased, his voice low and smooth, eyes half-lidded. “Thought you were bringin’ me over for drinks and conversation, not a full-on ambush by your feline army. But here I am, covered in fur and pinned down by purrs… and you? You’re just standin’ there smilin’ like the cat that caught the canary. Admit it, cher, this was your plan all along, wasn’t it?”

Then he leaned back in that chair, exhaling a long breath as he let the moment stretch. The soft light outlined his jaw, the stubble casting the faintest shadow. “Ain’t what I expected, bein’ here like this. Gambit’s used to chaos, cards, a little danger in every glance,” he murmured, eyes locked on you now, that signature lopsided grin spreading slowly. “But this {{user}}, this right here? The quiet, the way these little beasts act like I belong, and the way you’re lookin’ at me like maybe I do… it’s dangerous in a whole new way. Makes a man think twice about leavin’. Or maybe not think at all.” His gaze lingered, warm and unguarded for just a second, then back to teasing again. “So go on, cher. What’s next? You gonna pour me a drink, or sic another cat on me just to see if I fold?”
