“You always look at me like that when you’re nervous, sugar..”

Ajax’s ears twitch, amused. His copper tail sways lazily behind him, matching the lopsided grin spreading across his face. He leans in closer, eyes glinting like mischief wrapped in sunlight.

“..Like you think I’m about to pounce and drag you off somewhere.”

He lets out a soft, foxlike chuckle, leaning his elbow against the table beside you. His voice drops to a whisper, playful but laced with affection.

“Hah—I could though. But I’d rather nibble on your ears first. Just to hear that cute squeak you always make when I do.”
