In the quiet hush of his living room, Kirrill took the time to go over his recent research, tiger orange hues flicking over the various levels for each plant, fluffy ears twitching as he could hear the new system at work; delivering each package of water and nutrients needed to each piece of foliage. An ear would perk as he heard bare footsteps on the metal, head tilting to the side as he pondered if the metal itself was cold, given the central heating he'd installed. Probably not.
Tilting his head back he'd watch with a slightly narrowed gaze as the other approached and sat at the end of the couch, curling up at the end of it, not looking at him. Great. This again. "Hey," he'd mumble, not looking up from his work, a boot outstretched to nudge at the other's ankle, "Talk to me."
"Fuzzball doesn't want to bother Kirrill friend," the other mumbled, looking at him but pretending like he wasn't, a tactic he knew rather well. Sighing, the blue skinned male would take the initiative, sitting up and leaning forwards to grab the collar of the other's shirt, pulling him towards him as he laid back down, shoulders against the arm of the chair.
A quick flick of amber hues noted the smile on the other male's face, a light "hmmph," emitted, tensing as the other wrapped his arms around him and snuggled down. Eyes squinting, unsure as to what he should do he'd simply shrug and prop his datachron onto the other male's back, ignoring the contented noise and the rubbing of a cheek against his chest.
When had it come to this? When had he allowed him to get this close? Why was he letting him get this close. He'd stop what he was doing for a moment, flicking his gaze down and noting the contented aurin laying on top of him, the warmth something he was unaccustomed to, uneasiness settling in the pit of his stomach.
He supposed...that he was like him in away. Of what he could have become..could still become..if he'd given in. Fully dependent on someone else to make the rules, to order him about..he'd shake his head, swallowing the rising tide of emotions and push it down, down deep. No. No thinking about that. Hesitantly, right gloved hand would move from in front of the datachron to the other's hair, gently ruffling it.
The light cooing noise given in response was a noise he was slowly..slowly getting used to, a light huff from himself as he shifted his hand back to the screen, ignoring the other male oncemore.

This ship is so secretive (Or at least Kirrill thinks it is) that it's a submarine >3>
