King was sat on a floating debris of the building The Collector had destroyed a long time ago. His eyes scanned the ground far below, looking at the familiar scenery.
The Collector was near him, observing him almost. He tilted his head and floated over to him. “King?” they asked. On instinct of hearing his name, he turned to face them, snapping out of his thoughts. “.. Yeah?” He answered, resting his arm on his leg.
He sat next to King, looking down at him from his side view. “What's with the long face....?~” He asked, mimicking a large frown while speaking. King looked away and simply shrugged. The Collector whined, “Tell mee!” He said, emphasizing the 'e' in 'me', bringing his puppy-dog face out.
King looked over at them for a second, then rolled his eyes and scoffed playfully. “Really, it's nothing. I was just caught up in my thoughts.” He answered again. “But that's no fun!! Don't you wanna play?!” The Collector replied, raising his arms up to emphasize again.
King thought for a moment, “Haven't you ever tried relaxing?” He said. They were quite comfortable around eachother at this time, so King didn't really hesitate on asking. The Collector sat silent for a moment, “No, I don't think so. Is it fun?” They asked excitedly.
“Well, I guess it can be.” He said, seemingly avoiding eye contact. “Then show me! Show me!” Collector said rather loudly. King looked back at them, now he was hesitating. “Well, to relax you uhm... Lay still in a comfortable position.” He said, rather suddenly leaning on them. It seems he trying to usher them in a laying-down position? That's my guess.
“Huh? Well, that sounds boring.... But.. if you say so, I guess I can try.” They stretched their arms out dramatically and fell backwards onto their back on the debris, now laying down. King moved to their side as they were laying down. “And you said this can be fun, right??” He asked. King was still hesitating on his plan, but he continued. “..Mhm. It can be, yes.” He said as he laid down next to them, facing them.
They blinked for a moment, before going “Ooooohh!!” As if something was obvious to him now. He giggled and wrapped his arms around King, turning on his side. Now they were really close. Kings eyes widened, he didn't actually expect that to work, let alone Collector happily agreeing. King stuttered, completely distracted by the closeness the two were in at the moment. “Yeah, this IS fun!” The Collector said happily, for a moment his hand brushed over the back of King's neck. “Ooh, soft!”
Safe to say King was this close to dying from the amount of red covering his face. The Collector seemed to notice the blush, and raised an eyebrow. “Are you okay?” he asked, tapping on Kings skull, near where the blush was. King answered quickly, “Yeah-!!” He mumbled as his voice cracked, his face completely red, he hid his face into their chest. The Collector was, PAINFULLY, oblivious. Despite this, they just said an “Okay!” before yawning, it appears this had shockingly made him sleepy.
King peeked at them, “..Are you tired?” He asked quietly, still embarrassed from before. The Collector nodded, “Uhuh.” King sighed and cuddled up to them. “Me too.” They smiled and ran his hands through King's fur, which was pretty relaxing for him. They closed their eyes, appearing ready to sleep. I assume they were pretty tired because the debris they were laying on was no where near close to a bed. King on the other hand, didn't seem to mind. What he was focused on however, was Collectors hand through his fur. Still burning red, he decided he was going to try and sleep as well.
