Lloyd's always been more of a dog person. Loved every single dog he saw unless it was bone lazy because it can't really be a dog if it's not athletic or energetic or something, right? It didn't mean he didn't like cats, though—they were neat and proper so you didn't always have to clean up this big mess a dog would leave behind and you wouldn't randomly step in their pee and they'd purr and fall asleep on your chest. But that was more of a Zelos thing; he's always been a big fan of cats because he can't stand dogs barking all the time and finding them peeing in the worst place possible and blah, blah, blah—he'd stop listening to Zelos' complaining about two or three seconds in.
"—so we should totally get a cat," Zelos says and that's when Lloyd starts paying attention again, furrowing his eyebrows.
"We're getting a pet?"
"Uh, Captain Obvious, that's what I've been talking about for the past five minutes."
Shit. "Sorry. Tired."
Zelos rolls his eyes and flexes his fingers, slightly stiff from his hands being on his knees. He really was in the perfect position, with his legs crossed like that; if Lloyd weren't so comfortable laying down with his arm supporting his head he'd happily cuddle up. "But yeah. You're picking."
"I never said I'd be okay with getting a cat, Zelos."
Zelos pauses for a moment and then opens his mouth and before he can ask whether it's okay with Lloyd or not, Lloyd gives a small smile and says, "I think a cat would be nice." Another animal that wasn't totally like Noishe sounded like a great balance.
The Chosen then has a huge smile on his face and he leans down and kisses Lloyd (there's always a fluttery thing in his stomach whenever he sees the other happy and it gets really bad when he does kiss him, but he knows it's not just a crush anymore, knows it's not something to be embarrassed about because he knows Zelos feels the same way too). He lays down with him and drapes an arm over Lloyd's hip and Lloyd closes his eyes. It was nice and peaceful and he can feel Zelos' warm breath on his face and, he knows that sounds weird, but it's pretty much perfect.
"We're getting a kitten, right?"
Lloyd cracks an eye open and just moves closer to the other and mumbles, "Yeah, no. Sorry, but it's gonna be crying at our door in the middle of the night."
"Cat doors are a good thing, y'know."
Lloyd just kicks Zelos in response.
