Snippet #6
Henchman peeked up from their work again for maybe the thousandth time so far- they couldn't keep themself focused on the paperwork on their desk with that view constantly at the side of the room!
Villain was laying prone across one of the couches in the room. They were usually meant for people waiting on Henchman for meetings and whatnot but about an hour ago Villain just sat down and got comfy, idly batting around a small pet toy in front of them.
Henchman couldn't take their eyes off- they'd barely completed half a page of the stack in front of them since Villain settled there.
They just looked so goddamn cute!! Their fluffy little cat ears flicking around playfully, their genuine enjoyment of and intent focus on the toy in front of them despite their typical seriousness, their generally adorable face looking so content right now-
"Do you need something, Henchman?"
They snapped out of their daydream at Villain's firm voice calling them out for losing focus, still just as stern and precise as ever despite their adorably tonally unfitting current activity.
"N-Not at all, Villain!" Henchman hastily lied, directing their attention back at their paperwork.
"Then don't lose focus."
Henchman looked down at their paper, trying their hardest to keep their attention on it... but god, they couldn't take their mind off Villain. They so badly wanted to just... pet them, feel that soft fur, hear lil sounds of contentment from them...
After about a minute of failing to keep their mind on anything but their adorable feline boss, they sighed and looked back up.
They weren't sure if asking this was a good idea, but they figured it was either this or disobey Villain by continuing to get nothing done, and they'd rather do absolutely anything than disobey Villain.
"V-Villain?"
They looked up from the toy again to see Henchman... blushing. They weren't sure why, but it was honestly kind of adorable to see. "Yes?"
"I'm, uh... well- uh, I'm getting a little too... d-distracted to focus? Can I take a small break-?"
They hastily whispered something after 'break' that Villain couldn't quite make out. They cocked their head to the side in a way that made Henchman melt just a little more.
"What was that last part, Henchman?"
"O-OH, uh, well, it- uh, well, y'know, it's like- well, I mean-"
"Shh." Villain interrupted, causing Henchman to stop instantly. "Take your time."
It flustered Henchman even more, but they kept it together enough to take a few deep breaths and gather their thoughts.
"Okay... I also- well, I didn't mean to, but-"
"Focus."
"U-Understood. I... asked if I could maybe... pet you a little, too...?"
Henchman was both blushing like mad and was nervous as all hell. It was such a stupid thing to ask, especially to someone this powerful, notorious, and rather amoral. They braced for the reacti-
"Eh, sure. I've got nothing better to do."
Henchman blinked a few times in surprise, processing that they were actually just granted permission before being completely overtaken by excitement.
"REALLY?" They squealed embarrassingly loud, still trying to be careful just in case.
"Ow- Quiet! But... yes." They grumbled back.
"Q-Quiet! Got it!!" Henchman stuttered out, quickly and eagerly going around their desk to the couch. They kneeled next to the couch to be directly next to Villain's head laying on it instead of awkwardly sitting next to their sprawled form.
They took another quick deep breath when they got there to steady themself- they didn't want to be TOO overzealous and make Villain regret their decision. Keeping themself calm for Villain's sake, they gently reached a hand out to brush it across Villain's head... and they let out a gasp, almost melting on the spot.
It was so, so much better than they could've imagined.
It was soft. Not just Villain's precious cat ears, but their beautiful hair entirely! Villain's ears even twitched and they let out a small, adorable sigh on contact!
What got to Henchman the most, though was the temperature.
It was so... warm. Villain was so warm.
Henchman couldn't remember the last time they felt anything like it.
They reached their hand slightly forward to scratch behind Villain's ears. The little sigh that escaped, the visible release of tension as Villain felt the scratch... Henchman had never seen anything so precious in their life, they couldn't get enough of it!
They moved their other hand up as well to pet Villain with both, who let out a typical catlike drawn-out, squeaky yawn in response that almost brought Henchman to tears.
Still maintaining contact, they slowly went from kneeling by the couch to sitting on top of it just next to Villain... who pulled themself forward to rest their head on Henchman's lap.
So much built up serotonin flooded through Henchman, they felt like they could've died on the spot, but they were more than content with that happening by now. The feeling of Villain on their lap, accepting their affection like this... the immense, wonderful sensation of warmth wasn't just physically. They felt so, so comfortable. Safe. Content.
Minutes passed as Henchman cherished every passing second they got to spend like this. They didn't realize how much they'd been wanting... any kind of comforting touch at all, let alone from Villain.
Villain didn't expect to like it... but here they were, relaxed in Henchman's lap, feeling their touch, hearing their precious, flustered, loving, grateful little noises and reactions... they could get used to this. It felt amazing to make Henchman so happy.
As minutes passed, Villain slowly began to doze off. From another small yawn to precious little mumbles to the tiny, slow breaths of sleep, it was impossibly easy to drift off in an environment this comfortable.
It didn't take long for Henchman to follow.
The most peaceful, restful night of either of their lives followed... and even better ones were soon to follow.
Neither had felt so safe before.
