But, even butlers had needs too, even they got tired of having to take care of everything. They needed rest just as much as the next person, if not more than the average person.
So when you asked him if you could brush him out for seemingly no reason other than wanting to pamper him. Who was he to deny you?
You were sat on his lap, his uniform long gone, sitting still for you in only a pair of black boxers. His chin rested atop your shoulder as your arms encircled his own shoulders.

It wasn't until you felt his shoulders sag, his grip on your waist loosen and his upper body lean completely against yours that you noticed. He had fallen asleep on you.
Soft purr-like sounds rumbled deep at the back of his throat, tail subconsciously wagging lazily behind him, thumping lightly against the soft bedding.
