@hyuna .
It was only because of his oddly connected relationship with the fox that he was able to pick up the bare slip of attention, the way her voice lessened in volume. The shift distraction only lasted for the bare fracture of a second, but had his ears shift, curious kitten-like attention narrowing on the vixen. He didn't think he'd mentioned anything to command the female's attention quite so. But the attention was back to rest on him before Jiho could figure out a reason behind the unmentioned pause, a playful return pulling him back into the conversation.

He snorted, rolling his eyes and tilting his head a curious angel. "What did you expect me to say then, fantastic?" The prospect of it had him pause; returning to old habits and hooking up with whoever was available and pleasing. The thought wasn't a bad one, he didn't appose of it, but was rather too pleased to the thought of having someone now to warm the bed. It'd be different from his younger grade school years, where there had to be more secrecy - after all, what more could you expect from a free of mind college student? If following his animal counterpart, having such relationships - one meant singularly for a one-time relationship - was normal. Perhaps he was just the odd one out, or had grown up more than he himself had noted. "Maybe I should get out more often," he mused, mostly joking and partly not. He certainly wouldn't have minded having more to do than deal with his course work.

"Right, and I'm actually a social bee." It was a give and take between the two, but not that this was ever necessarily always a bad thing. He laughed, taking the teasing bump with a roll of eyes and reaching over to flick at the girl's forehead. To anyone else, hearing of a lax streak in ual deviance wasn't anything to accuse, but this was Hyuna; Jiho knew the girl possibly better than he knew himself at times. Rolling over to press a palm into his cheek in mock interest. "So lets ask you, if I'm boring," a lax grin tugging his cheeks. "How goes you?"

His mind was at a fond ease with the fox by his side, a gracious difference to the headaches he would at times get with anyone else. Jiho smiled. "And I'm forever thankful for it," he sighed, squinting his eyes to mused crescents. "I'd be a clumped mess without you." Some called it abusing their friendship, but Jiho - he preferred to call it something more .. positive, a two-deal, if you will. He would have done anything for the girl.

Flopping down onto the mattress over the fox, Jiho sighed, nuzzling into the crook of the fox's shoulder where he'd seconds nipped. Doing so was an odd feeling, a curious warmth filling his gut. It was certainly well, finding again the time to spend with his too fond friend, but this wasn't a game - Hyuna was a friend, one to precious to put aside for nothing. That didn't stop him from wanting to curl against into the heat. "Lets go out today," he tossed out, "I'm in the mood for something rare today."


(this took me three hours to write - whyotl. let me go work on the one on our apartment now eu e /rollsaround. after i get something to eat otl)

@jiho [ dont worry about it! you always make your replies worth the wait <3 ]

Hyuna laughed at the image of the male having to sit through the same math class he had already taken, picturing a scowl upon his face as he sat slightly hunched over at his desk, his head resting in his hand. The amusing mental picture almost made her forget what they had originally been talking about.

Almost.

It was quite bothersome to her that the subject was infiltrating her mind all of a sudden. A part of her simply wanted to know, to find a real answer about what Jiho possibly thought about her and why their friendship worked the way it did. Was it truly meant to be more, or were some friendships so perfectly balanced like theirs was? She certainly had never met a pair of friends who interacted as well as she and Jiho did. They were different, and they always had been.

"Just alright?" she repeated in a quieter tone; it was quite evident that the vixen was temporarily distracted by her thoughts, but she focused her attention back on Jiho within seconds, her sharp eyes landing on his. "That doesn't sound fun~" she teased with a pout, then laughed at his little name for her. "Excuse you, you don't know that," she reached up to give his head a gentle thump, making a face. "Maybe I'm not having at all." Of course, this wasn't true, but it was always entertaining to hear Jiho's reactions to her playful and teasing remarks.

Hyuna smiled at his compliment, although the deep groan that escaped his lips almost automatically planted a dirty picture in her mind, and she shoved it out instantaneously. Her mind was clearly in the mood to play games on her, and it was becoming more and more difficult to ignore. "Thank you," she responded smoothly, nonetheless, her tone silky and confident. "I try my best. Although, I don't really have to try." She was only joking, of course; by now, Jiho was very familiar with Hyuna's playfully facetious large ego. When she was finally done, she let out a squeal of surprise as Jiho pinned her down beneath him, then immediately laughed in amusement. "You know I'll always give you back rubs if you need them," she told him, chuckling as she felt the male's teeth nibble at her skin. Anyone else would have probably found it quite odd, or even ual, but Hyuna knew it was simply her friend's way of showing his gratitude and affection.

However, her mind was beginning to play around with her once again, and she was quick to stop it just as before. Biting her lip, she hoped this was merely a temporary issue that would never come out into the open. The thought of somehow ruining her friendship with Jiho because of a potentially dangerous feeling in the back of her mind made her upset. No, that would never happen, as long as Hyuna could help it.

@hyuna .
"Oh no, it bothers me very much." But of course, he was teasing, returning the toying wrinkled look and snapping his teeth in the direction his friend's hand wandered off. Where exactly would their relationship be, had it not been for the back and forth they had assumed? "I have to retake the course, apparently and you know perfectly well how I am." Jiho laughed, a barking thing fading out to a wide, toothy grin, boyish and joking in shape. He knew clear well he had traveled from the original case of the subject, but what else could he have said? Of course he worried for Hyuna and he would have had to be blind to not be attracted to the beauty that rest in the fox kindred. But he loved Hyuna like he would a sister, a best friend, and perhaps even himself. It was a different sort of attraction from the fooling around he did his life career; and knowing himself well enough, Hyuna deserved more than he.

For a second, Jiho had to pause to the question, mulling over it with a low hum. He'd had quite the colorful life, probably one likely matching his friend's in certain aspects. His on and off nightly partners had begun too early his grade school career, stumbling between arms and kisses, unable to properly settle for long. But he'd never complained against it; he hadn't ever been too keen on commitment of that sort, and the convenience of a traveling partner fit him well. Sometimes a one night stand and at others something more lasting.

He hummed. "It's alright." Jiho had slowed down his abrupt shifting of partners come later his life time career, more picky on the ones he would keep around him, his animal side showing through his once used to be open attitude. There was a smaller chance of shifting through unknown faces. But it was never as if he went dry. "I get around. though probably not nearly as flashy as you do, Ms. Popular." The thought, image, had him press his lips together, sooner enough shrugging and masking the look with one of nonchalance.

Maybe he really was the littlest tad jealous after all.

Jiho knew Hyuna, possibly better than he knew anyone else, and a part of him told it was anything but safe to offer over a free go at a Woo Jiho use ticket, but what wouldn't he have done for the girl? Compared to the much that was passed onto him, his words and simple promises fared little.

He groaned, the low pur spurring from deeper down his chest as Hyuna's fingers smoothed out the bunched muscles. "I'll say it again anyways then," he breathed, voice muffled into the sheets, "you're ing amazing." Perfect, was probably the word he was searching for. How long had it been, since he had melted quite so much under hands of others? There had been times before, where he'd asked someone to try and rub out the knots in his back; but none had fared to the magic fingers of his vixen friend. She was, what he'd liked to call, his unforgettable other half. He just wouldn't quite be himself without Hyuna at his side, knocking down his pride an inch or two and keeping him well grounded as he should be.

"I don't know how much of a mess my back would be without you. You're an angel." When the last of the complaining kinks of his back had been smoothed out, Jiho shifted in the sheets under his friend, rolling and moving until manhandling his friend down into the sheets and under him. He grinned, reaching down to nip playfully at the fox's shoulder in his odd display of thanks.

(toisuxkpwdojs. sorry this is late + likewhatisthiseven. i'll have hopefully better + faster reply in two(?) weeks when i register for a locker and have my laptop ready at hand //// until then- sorry sorry sorry sorry)

@jiho [ omg sorry i didn't notice this ;; you're all good! <3 ]

Hyuna wrinkled up her face in a playful distaste, as if offended to be compared to a nearly failing grade she knew just barely bothered the male before her. She still laughed, nonetheless, reaching her hand out to give his head a light thump in a jokingly scolding manner. "Of course it wouldn't bother you," she mused afterwards, though, looking at him thoughtfully with a perfectly arched eyebrow. "You have nothing to complain about with your life, do you?" Jiho was a very appealing man, both inside and out. There would never be a time where Jiho would have a problem with finding a male or a female who was attracted to him and his powerful nature, and she knew this for a fact. However, she could not exactly place the reaction she felt towards this fact. She wasn't particularly jealous, but she wasn't particularly tolerant. Hyuna was known to be territorial when it came to her friends, and while she wasn't exactly overbearing or clingy, the thought of sharing Jiho with other people in such an intimate fashion seemed almost threatening towards her -- even when she had never reached such an intimate relationship with him before. No, their intimacy was on a different level, yet somehow, it felt more intimate than any relation she had ever experienced.

"I'm not saying that~ you do so much for me, doll." Hyuna chuckled as she continued rubbing his clustered muscles, sighing in a fond sense of worry as she felt how tense the male's lean body was. Each groan and purr of satisfaction that escaped his lips sounded like music to her ears; while she knew not to let people step all over her, she was definitely a people pleaser, and Jiho was someone whose happiness mattered greatly to her. "I can't possibly think of anything I need from you right now, but I'll let you know." A little naughty smirk crossed her lips, her thumbs lightly kneading into the less painful spots of his back that simply required the gentlest of care and nothing more.

"You have, but you know I'll never get tired of it," she joked in her melodious voice, smiling softly to herself as she listened to the tiny coos of pleasure he would release every now and then. She found the cheetah hybrid quite adorable at times, despite his strong and manly demeanor. He certainly didn't reveal this side of himself to others, and anyone would be shocked if Hyuna were to describe their close friendship and the way Jiho acted around her. She never felt the need to boast about it, though, even though he was most certainly worthy of it. Hyuna could go on for hours about the male if she were to ever be asked about him; he meant a lot to her, and although there was a little feeling in the back of her head that questioned the entirety of their relationship, she knew that would never change.

@hyuna .
Jealousy, perhaps it was that what Jiho felt upon watching the others crowd around his friend. It wasn't a secret that the vixen was a more than popular target among the population of the school. Overhearing conversations hinting an attraction toward the girl wasn't at a surprise anymore by the point. And perhaps the little discomfort he felt piling in the pit of his stomach whenever these exchanges were caught - for once he did not appreciate his heightened hearing - was in fact a sort of jealous and not simply his animalistic instincts pitching a fit over a threat over personal territory.

Jiho had always thought himself as more than enough. What did he lack in comparison to the others? Concentration, or perhaps a height in attention span? Perhaps, but surely he hadn't drift off in the middle of conversation, consumed in his own thoughts. So where had their too casual habits grown in place? Since when had it become right, watching the girl strip off her day clothes and crawl into bed to assume mere nightly rest rather than what might have been expected of peoples of common attraction. It wasn't that he disliked it - of course not, Jiho very much valued what he had with the girl, finding Hyuna the only person he could go crawling to, shields undone and pride hanging tattered and limp - but what made him different from the rest? And since when had this difference begun to bother him quite so?

"Should it?" Jiho laughed, returning the toss with a loosely fit grin. Had the question come from someone else, Jiho might have lingered the answer for a second longer, rolling the word around on his tongue to see how it tasted; but this was Hyuna - he wasn't supposed to feel like so around her. Jiho liked this whatever they had between them, and while there was that irritable buzz in the corner of his head, it wasn't yet enough to risk what was now. "But of course it bothers me," he joked, continuing off when his laughing died out to a stretched smile, "about as much as that D in math does." In the case with his grade, Jiho hadn't particularly cared for the low score, rolling his eyes and crumbling the red stained paper, but only recently returned to worry for it, desperate too late for the mistake earlier grade. He hoped more desperate for it not to be a repeat.

He groaned, low, deep, and swirled in obvious pleasure as the fox's fingers first began weaving their way through bunched muscles. "You make it sound like," a pause and another soft whine, "like I don't ever do anything for you." It was as if he were turning to mush, melting under the working hands that seemed to know just where to poke to make him undone. Jiho sighed, long and drawn, his eyes closing with the slow exhale. "Take the damned offer before I'm sober enough to take it back." If it was for her, Jiho wouldn't have mind doing anything even without such promise holding him bound.

Spread out, pressed and swallowed into the soft mattress under him, Jiho purred, a deep rumbling coming from the inner dept of his chest. He had always felt weak toward the magic Hyuna seemed to be able to do for his back, even possibly more so than the workers trained in the art. She knew him too well, knowing just where to place the most pressure and where would require more gentle strength to force out the knots. He chirpped, a pitch higher than his usual pur but softer and ringing of a certain pleasure; it was a noise rare to even him as his animal spirit, burying himself further into the plush mattress under him. "God - you're amazing, have I told you that before?" If he hadn't, she deserved to be showered more in the compliment.

(sorry i meant to reply earlier this time - but yesterday wasn't so great for me and i ended up falling asleep while writing this at night meeep///)

@jiho [ its no problem!! im probably gonna have late responses too now that classes have started again ;; ]

The vixen chuckled softly, giving her friend a fond eye roll. She couldn't clearly recall a time that any of their borderline offensive teasing ever actually insulted the other. While there were certain subjects she could not bring up with certain people, she could bring any of these subjects up to Jiho. It was probably a bit concerning how desensitized they were to each other, but Hyuna wouldn't have it any other way. Jiho was like her refuge- a retreat she turned to whenever she had had enough of the world and its harsh realities. Not that she didn't ever turn to him during the happy times, either. The feline hybrid was normally the first person she ever came to when she received good news, and she could always count on him to celebrate with her.

His inquiry made her laugh out loud, but on the inside, she wondered how Jiho had managed to be this exception. It wasn't as though Hyuna slept with everyone she made eye contact with, but someone like Jiho certainly fit the characteristics of the men Hyuna was normally attracted to. Maybe if the two of them hadn't been so close, hadn't revealed so many things about themselves to one another, hadn't developed an almost unnaturally devoted bond to one another.... but then again, weren't these the traits that defined most healthy dating relationships? The entire concept perplexed the female to no end.

She was attracted to him, she knew that much. In what way? That was the real question that came into play. However, she pushed these feelings right out as she normally did in order to answer him, her eyebrow raising and her mischievous sparkle reappearing in her sharp eyes. "Does that upset you?" she teased, but in reality, she was quite curious. However, she couldn't possibly expect him to take the question seriously. They were best friends, and nothing more. Right?

Her mind instantly cleared up when the male agreed to her offer, a wider smile crossing her lips. She absolutely loved making him happy. Sometimes, she swore her emotions were somehow connected to Jiho's. She felt his happiness, she felt his pain, she felt his anger, and she felt his sadness. Maybe it was because the fox had an intense loyal bond with whoever she was friends with, and considering how special Jiho was to her, it was only ten times stronger. Sitting herself up, she moved over him so she was seated right on his , her legs behind her on either side of his strong body. This was always how she gave him back rubs, and it had never felt weird to either of them before. However, the feelings she had pushed away just moments earlier were starting to come back, and she practically stuffed them right back down before they could interfere with her mood.

"Whatever I want, huh?" she spoke in her natural singsong voice, a little smirk gracing her lips as she began to rub up and down his back, lightly at first. "Are you sure you should be making such promises to me?" She laughed as she began to strengthen her movements, her hands automatically kneading over every single spot that she knew normally bothered him. It was to the point where the cheetah barely had to instruct her anymore; she knew exactly where he felt the most pain, and where he needed the most attention. Her hazel eyes flickered over his collection of dark spots, admiring them just as she always did. He had always been absolutely beautiful to her, in the most powerful of ways.

@hyuna .
Everything was an enlarged game of push and pull between the two, words of what might as well as be insults thrown without any harsh feelings and spite in them. What to anyone else might have been an argument, a spitting fight, was merely an daily exchange. It was what Jiho liked best about their friendship, the lacking need to keep face and feign innocence. Only around Hyuna, did he feel more at home than home itself provided. The feeling was welcoming, a feeling of sanctuary following after him. "I don't think you understand," Jiho made back, his words a little swallowed up by a crackling laugh, "I'm a much bigger person than you think I am." Worries and insecurities faded out when in the presence of the fox, leaving him open and bare, free from any holding of blinding emotions.

The slight push at him did nothing to push him away, only encouraging the bubbling laughs that winkled the corners of his eyes as he smiled. He rocked into the sheets, rolling back and weighing the arm that had curled around his friend. "Oh? And what about me? Am I not even considered a part of the boys anymore?" It was all a joke, a light play, but what was it with the slightest curl of annoyance? His ears twitched momentarily, rolling back against his head in just the following second. "Or am I an exception to this pretty statistic?"

He pulled a face to the tongue that swiped at his thumb, the play obvious in the smaller growl he made under his breath. "Ah, this is the reality that is Kim Hyuna." Jiho droned, his voice toned a pitch dramatic, "What would the others say if they knew?" But he smiled regardless, basking in the childish play between the two and swiping his thumb against the line of the clothes his friend wore. "You're gross," he joked, taking a bite of the air in direction of the female and clacking his teeth.

It was a known fact, or at least to the closer range of his friends, that Woo Jiho had a certain weakness to a smaller number of things. "Oh, god please." The plea rolled off his tongue gratefully to the request. And one of them was a back massage, though more specifically, Hyuna's. The cheetah had learned that, to past knowledge, that the vixen gave the best of back rubs, knowing just exactly where to press to work out the kinks that had formed in the bunched mess that was the feline's back. "I could kiss you," he whined, already pleased to just even the offer of. Flopping back down on the bed, this time on his stomach, Jiho breathed. "You're the best, I hope you know that. I'll do whatever you want for you after this."

Oh where would he be, without her?

( sorry this took five years ;; club activities picked up again and my seniors have been dragging me places. i have no excuses really sorry sorry //// )

a

@jiho A smile graced Hyuna's lips as she felt the male's tail gently swipe at her bare leg, her own furry one slowly flicking upwards around her waist and gently touching his. "It's okay to be in denial. You'll come to terms with it eventually," she gave him a playful smirk, her eyes twinkling as they were now rid of the heaviness of sleep. The male managed to keep her spirits up in general, even if they were simply lazing around together in bed. Sometimes, she wondered how she had managed to land Jiho as one of her best friends. He wasn't close to very many people, which made Hyuna even more grateful that he could be close to her. While she got along with almost anyone, there was a different type of connection when it came to her and Jiho. It made her feel sad for those who hadn't ever found that type of connection within a friendship, and wonder how much she had been missing out on before she had met the blonde.

She let out a little laugh at his words, gently shoving at his chest. Even if she were to put more strength into it, he probably would not have budged anyways. He had much more physical power than she did, only giving her even more of a disadvantage when the two would playfully wrestle around with each other in the middle of an "argument", usually over disagreements that were petty and insignificant. "Well, normally when I'm in bed with a boy, we don't do much sleeping anyways," she winked at him playfully, exaggerating her sleaziness in a joking manner. She swiftly poked her tongue out and at his thumb as he pressed it to the corner of his mouth, hoping to cut off his little mischievous laugh with her surprise attack.

Still laying down, as she was much too lazy to sit up, she watched as he sat up and nearly winced at the sound of his back cracking. She let out a soft sigh, half fondly but half worried. "Does someone need another one of my famous back rubs?" she asked him in her little singsong voice laced with an impish tone, but her offer was serious. The vixen knew how much Jiho secretly enjoyed back rubs, and she truly didn't mind giving them to him. She was always worried about the condition of his slightly hunched over back, and her nurturing side tended to take over in general when any of her friends were in pain. Hyuna was both a giver and a receiver when it came to attention, and she loved playing both roles.


[ it's alright bb!! <3 hope this reply is alright otl it's so late here and im torturing myself bc im on mobile but like i wanted to reply to you asap bc i love this plot ]

@hyuna .
It was an odd thing, being so closely bonded with the vixen. Many voiced such jealousy to him, unshy of relaying such words to the best friend of. They knew Jiho wasn't interested in making such approach, his lax and teasing behavior speaking for him in the words he didn't say out loud; but was this true? A smile curled on his lips at times to the thought of him and Hyuna pressed together, but any actions beyond that wouldn't inage. Was he simply repulsed by the idea or was Woo Jiho actually shying away from such thought? He shook his head. Hyuna was a friend, a precious one at that, one meaning so much more for him than a quick . If it was that, they would have done so already, much late in the past.

"I don't think you understand the meaning of the word," he snorted, letting loose a laugh at the flimsy words. There was no snap or bite to them and he found relief to it. Even to Hyuna - or perhaps it was especially because it was her - it simply wouldn't do to pull on a dumb face. His tail curling, it thud against the pale length of the fox's leg, a teasing warning to watch her words. He most definitely did not look 'funny' when he slept.

He most certainly liked Hyuna's presence, whether this be lazing around in bed like they were now, or causing trouble around campus. It came a question when exactly had any of this started; since when was he ever quite so comfortable around people, never mind members of the separating race? Close bonds were hard to form for the blonde, but it felt nearly as if they'd forever been the other's missing piece. It was odd, but he wasn't complaining. "Oh you'd be surprised at the things boys can complain about," he swiped right back, a roll of laughter bubbling from his chest. Hyuna was right though, who could complain with a night with her? Not anyone of their right minds. "Wouldn't want people to know that the great vixen Kim Hyuna drools in her sleep. Would tarnish that perfect image you've got on you." As if swiping the drool, Jiho reached over, pressing his thumb against the girl's corner of lip. He laughed.

Jiho was not a morning person, nor was he one for the night, but with Hyuna by his side, it didn't seem to matter what time of it was, he was pleased. A low grunt passing, the feline pulled himself to a crooked sitting pose, stretching stiff limbs high above his head and riding up the part of shirt from the other night he'd fallen asleep in. He could hear his back snap in responding crack and he groaned; his mother was right, perhaps he should resume a better posture for the future - or nah.

( i don't know what this is but for you babeeee. hope you're feeling better from earlier en e;; forgot to ask earlier otl i'm a douche // )

@jiho [ Ohh okay ^^ and don't worry about it, you're good! <3 ]

The vixen mentally cursed as she heard him, but wasn't exactly surprised. She had been expecting it, after all. It was difficult for anything in general to get past Jiho, with his sharp senses and intellect. "You look funny when you sleep," she mumbled back in a blunt tone, but obviously only joking around. She wasn't exactly embarrassed about being caught, but at the same time, it was bothering her that she had been staring in the first place. As she lazily snuggled closer to his warm body, she couldn't help but wonder if he ever did the same to her.

Her eyes flickered over his tail as her pointed ears twitched slightly towards the sound of his deep voice, still somewhat low and husky from the hours of sleep. "No problem, sweetheart," she chuckled lightly, a little smile crossing her lips as he curled his body closer to hers. It was always at times like these that she wondered if this was even the same Jiho she knew during the day, and even into the late hours of the night. It was rare to see him not engaging in at least some type of physical movement, even if it was simply walking around. It always worked for her, though, as Hyuna hated sitting still for too long. While she was certainly better at it than Jiho was, the constant need to move around after about twenty minutes of doing homework or sitting in class would always show up.

She instinctively leaned into his hold as he wrapped his arm around her, finally locking her eyes onto his. She blinked a few times at his statement before letting out an amused scoff, her witty senses acting naturally fast as she joked right back. "Oh? I think the people I sleep with actually have very little to complain about," she grinned with a playful air of conceit, a devious twinkle in her eyes. "But thank you for your concern."

She loved the way they could joke around so openly with one another, especially when it came down to things most people would be sensitive about. Sometimes, the mischievous expressions that crossed his sharp facial features would nearly identical resemble hers; both of them thoroughly enjoyed messing around with people, especially each other. She rolled her eyes fondly at the grin on his lips, wrinkling her face up in a playful expression of distaste towards him.

@hyuna .
It was both a blessing and curse, the curious extra senses he had gained somewhere along his life. At times, they proved useful, especially his sharpened vision when his distracted attention span wouldn't allow for a sit down to study. But in others, Jiho could have certainly done without. "You're looking at me," he mumbled, voice thick with sleep and muffled into the sheets that he had buried himself under. Even without fully waking, he could feel the eyes on him, watching and taking estimate of him; call it his animalistic senses, working desperately still thinking its host was a beast under dangers of the brazen African savanna sun.

He couldn't remember quite when exactly he had fallen asleep, but he could certainly call back to where.

The night had been a long one, as per usual, putting to consideration the high tuned twitch in his head. He'd been with his dearest Hyuna the longer duration of the day, feeling at a peaceful ease with the fox-like woman. She was probably one of the only few that Jiho could feel at such peace with; his one of best friends in his closed circle. It certainly would not have been a lie, had he said she was much like the missing half of him that he'd been born without. So there wasn't much surprise at all, when he woke, stretched and comfortable in the female's dorm room; no bugging question about a drunken mating or extra strings attached to the circumstance.

A lazy yawn pulling from him, Jiho peeked open his eyes, sighing a pleased noise when the light didn't flash against his eyes. He was grateful, Hyuna knew him too well. "Morning," Jiho mumbled, pressing his cheeks into the plush sheets and curling closer into the warmth of the body next to him. Only in the mornings, did his boggled mind not decide to act up in need for movement; it was likely the single time of day that he could lay still, the lazy flick of his tail and his folded ears shifting occasionally in the messed clump he called his hair. "Thanks for the," his tail flicked in direction of the blinds in place of his words, a second yawn cutting off the sentence.

In anyone else, they might have been surprised to stir awake in bed next to such a beauty. Even with the years of friendship piled on with them - though he liked to tease and make fun of the girl more often than compliment - Jiho had much too appreciate about the fox he now lay with. One being how she managed still yet to hold up quite the appearance after hours of laying dead to the world. She was like a sister to him, one without a blood relation. But recently, there had been spare feelings stirring that he hadn't always been aware of. Had that flutter always been there or had he simply passed it away, too kept on maintaining his loose friendship with the fox?

His mind clearing up, slowly, Jiho rolled over from his back to side, looping an arm around Hyuna's waist with a fitting coy grin. "You were drooling last night." It wasn't true, or, at least if it was, he wouldn't have known it, too busy drowning in his own sleep. His mother had always warned him of his behavior, telling him he poked nearly too much fun at the people he enjoyed the presence of. If you keep doing that, you'll end up alone one day. Was it true? Strengthening the grip around the fox's waist, Jiho tilt his head, the devilish grin still curling his lips. "You really should fix that, you'll scare the people you sleep with."

(It was beautiful shhhhh. And while he doesn't like powerful light - like cameras flashing, or being shined with a concentrated form of light (or the sun shining directly in his eyes) - he doesn't necessarily prefer the darkness as his eyes don't work nearly as well in the dark as it does in light. eu e/// + sorry this took so long. i don't know why i'm being so lazy lately otl)

@jiho The orange-brown haired vixen slowly stretched out her body as she opened her eyes, feeling the warmth of a familiar, strong body up against hers. As she lifted her hand up from under the blankets to rub her tired eyes, she wondered to herself how long she had even been sleeping. The vixen was also quite surprised that Jiho had even let her sleep. With his constant need to move around and his short attention span, it was difficult enough getting him to sleep at night let alone for a short nap in the middle of the day. Her sharp, hazel eyes finally regained their senses as she blinked up towards the feline hybrid's face, a smile making its way onto her red lips as she fondly admired his naturally messy hair and fierce facial structure.

Jiho was one of her closest friends, and someone she would always look up to. While Hyuna was generally comfortable and outgoing around most people as it was, there was a whole new level when it came to Jiho. They told each other everything, no matter how potentially disgusting or strange it may have been. They teased at each other, they comforted each other, they offered advice to each other; hell, they could even change in front of each other. Both of them had rather blunt personalities, and although that seemed like something that would only lead to fighting and arguments, it rarely ever did. She liked having someone who was 100% honest with her, and she was nothing but honest to him.

She found her stare lingering a little longer than usual, and she averted her eyes as soon as she realized this. Even if he was sleeping, the male's senses were extraordinarily sharp; while Hyuna liked to pride herself on her own foxlike senses and wit, Jiho had the animalistic advantage over her. Being the predatory species he was, he was a lot more instinctively alert than she was, even in his sleep. In all honesty, she wasn't even sure why she had been staring for so long. Something about him mesmerized her; it always had, but not to this extent. Jiho was not only a best friend, but a role model to the vixen. She respected and appreciated everything about him. However, lately, she was beginning to wonder if there was truly something more to the enthralling male than she hadn't let herself realize before.

Trying to shake the thoughts out of her head, she slowly reached over him to shut the blinds even more, seeing the bright sunlight trying to leak into the room. She knew how much the male preferred the darkness, and at the moment, she was perfectly fine with laying in bed with her best friend in the warmth of his powerful body, surrounded by the dimness of her bedroom.

[ Hope this is okay >.< I read his profile so hopefully I described him in all the right ways, if something seems inaccurate then just let me know! ]
