Kyle leaned into the touch, his eyes still closed and a purr leaving his lips that had little heart in it. He wasn't interested in Cohen touching him. And yet, he never stopped him. And it wasn't all because he was scared of trying. It was the habit, and the assurance that Cohen would always be there when no one else was. Even if he barely remembered the time when he truly, genuinely wanted to be with him.
He glanced up from his comfortable spot beside his master, his head laid on Cohen's lap. That was the face of evil. Despite his best attempts at making good choices, Kyle remained in love with this man. And fearful of life without him.
"Not asleep yet?" Years ago, maybe even months ago he would have sat up, kissed Cohen and offered to do something in the meantime. Now he just left the question open, too content with his spot far away from Cohen's face but not far away from his hand.. or, well, the head that still mattered to Kyle.
