Cat snuggled on Marinette's pink bed. It was perfect weather for scratches and snuggles, and Marinette would be reading a story. He made biscuits with the sheets, sheathing is claws in and out, curling up in a small ball. Ah, this was the life. His Princess had even made hot coca for this rainy day.
Marinette smiled as she climbed the ladder, the book she had selected under her arm. She was about to sit crisscross applesauce when she noticed Cat. "Whoa, no shoes on the bed, Cat Noir! Just think of where your feet have been!" Cat grinned, and yawned lazily. "Nowhere but here, and the catnip field."
Oops. "I mean, flower field! Thought I'd look for a flower for my Princess!" "Nice try, you didn't bring a flower." "I love you?" That usually cleared up anything messy, and this time literally. "Good save."
Marinette nudged him. "Shoes, off, and then story and chin scratches." Oooh, he loved the scratches! Especially since that was one of the hard to reach spots. "Right, sorry. I'll take these off." Marinette watched in amazement as Cat took his booties off. Lucky, her suit didn't come with booties.
"Okay, cuddle close." Cat sprawled out across her lap. "Oof, your heavy! And hot!" Cat grinned, eyes shut. "Thanks." "Not that kinda of hot!" Oh, jam and jelly! "You may not say it, but you can think it. Now, may I have scratches?"
Cat purred as he listened to Marinette's gentle voice. Marinette might not admit it, but story time with Cat was a favorite part of her day. Even when she had to remind him to take his shoes off!
