9. Good luck getting your cat boy to do laundry.

It had been the middle of the afternoon and Matthew was napping away on the couch. Napping instead of doing the laundry that he had promised Alfred he'd do earlier.

So when he was abruptly awoken by a blanket of warm, pleasant smelling fabrics, he knew it was Alfred's way of annoying him.

"Oh no, Mattieeee, the laundry monster has gotten you and it's demanding you fold it! Or else it's eating you alive!" Alfred screamed dramatically, carrying the empty laundry basket in hand as he tried hard not to begin laughing at the moving pile of clean laundry that was once Matthew.

"That's nice…" Matthew murmured, deciding the impromptu clothes blanket was actually very comfortable as he began to nuzzle deeper into it.

"But you don't understand! If you don't start folding it now, you'll be EATEN!" Alfred reached down to gently shake Matthew.

Instead of the snarky reply he expected, he was surprised to hear soft snores instead. 'What, he fell asleep again!?' he thought to himself, having half the mind to pull Matthew off the couch. But instead sighed, deciding there was really no winning a sleepy Matthew.

He knelt down beside the couch and gently moved away the few articles of clothing covering Matthew's face. Matthew's ears twitched slightly, nose scrunching at the sudden disappearance of warmth from his face, but remained asleep.

Alfred reached to softly caress his cheeks, smiling when Matthew's immediate reaction was nuzzling into the warmth of his palms.

'Really, you're too cute for your own good' Alfred thought as he rested his head on the armrest of the couch, and continued to softly caress Matthew's cheeks and head.


Note: ;w; got this idea from this freaking adorable text post on tumblr. I had to write it down quickly. Here's to the shortest chapter I've ever written, and probably ever will. Next chapter comes will be longer, it's taking forever because I'm working on 6 of these chapters from this story at once, hopping from chapter to work on whichever I'm in the mood for at the time.;w;
