Here's my gift for @robingurl for the valantines @catsarttrade . They wanted misto napping on plato. I hope its nice enough for you ^^

Wow. Um. XD Lets go then.

Character Backgrounds and relationship dynamics (in my world):

My biggest thing is I'm more of a Misto on bottom fan but only because he thinks he's hot shit but doesn't have the experience yet and is also a "tiny" black cat going against a main coon.

I always joke that Tugger can just pick him up by the nape of his neck like "...what are you doing?" And Misto just hangs there kicking and hissing. This doesn't mean he doesn't go down without a fight, magic zaps, and lots of hisses. Sometimes he lands those magic zaps and Tugger drops him with a howl and his mane on fire XD.

On the experience sides of things, if he just turned adult (or one full Jellicle Moon after his first Tom appearance) - he's gotta learn and trying to over take the main Tom in the tribe is adorable and more than likely isn't going to happen immediately.

Now two years down the road after he's fully confident, knowledgeable, and knowing how to - Tugger better watch out.

But also on top of all of that - their relationship is very one sided at the beginning. Tugger being so in love he can't stand it and Mistoffelees actively avoiding him like the plague.

So their first few times would more than likely be instigated by Tugger with a flustered Misto trying to say he didn't like it or want it but actually thoroughly enjoying himself. He's just stubborn which lets be real would turn Tugger on.

Now on to Plato, I don't know if you've ever seen those beautiful angels on tiktok and instagram that make drinks for you and are beautiful, perfect and absolutely amazing? The one who wears black? Add a bit more sass and judgement to that. He's very confident in himself, knows how to give it right back to Tugger when the main coone tries to start something or makes an off comment.

He's the only person (before Mistoffelees) that can and will respond within seconds knocking Tugger down a few rungs leaving him speechless. (however, Tugger doesn't get as flustered with Plato as he does Misto. He's gotten used to Plato even if it the other Tom's responses cause his mouth to hang open once he's caught. But Misto flusters Tugger so bad he can't think or talk (and how embarrassing) that he's left in the dust trying to pick up the pieces of what was his ego.)

He and Tugger have been on and off a steady thing for awhile and Tugger happily keeps him by his side. (but he doesn't get attached or anything - because he's Tugger...who is going to tell him?) They do lots of "fun stuff" on the side and are a single entity together in a way.

The Junkyard kind of knows they are a thing and Bomba is the only other one able to get that close to Tugger. And even then that depends on the day (aka when he dropped her at the ball). Whether she's jealous or not is up to you - I always thought its less jealously and more of an annoyance that she can't hit the same level as Plato. However, she's going to keep trying until she knocks him off that pedestal. (which never happens)

GAY CAT SHENANIGANS BELOW - READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

So when Misto tries to hit on Tugger once he's confident, Plato is there and they both kind of have that "aw cute" smile and instead of Tugger being the first - Plato crawls down and starts to work Misto up. Once our magical Tom is fully worked up , Tugger joins and just makes it worse. He's more passionate than Plato but Plato's hands/paws know where to go to make what Misto is feeling even better.

Been so busy.. I promise a finished piece soon!
