Prompt : Feline

He wakes up and immediately, something is wrong.

Well. Wrong was not the perfect word for it. Something was off, more like on, but not in the correct way, more in the pleasant and unusual way. He was rather confused.

He had woken up a few brief moments ago and the more that he moseys casually into consciousness, the more the Master becomes aware that he is curled around the Doctor. In bed.

Naked.

He blinks, then mentally reels back to try to pin the events of the night before. There had been wine. He could still taste something like cabernet in the back of his mouth, and also something that tasted rather like the Doctor’s kisses. They had kissed. That was right. They had kissed and there had been candles that must have been left burning on the dinner table when they came upstairs and—

Ah.

Of course. That was what had happened.

For a very brief moment he is unsure whether to be embarrassed by the intimate embrace or pleased by the way they were curled around one another in a feline fashion. The latter of the two options begins to win out when, upon leaning his head against the tousled, curled hair of the Doctor, he discovers the Doctor to be purring.

Not profusely or anything. It is a quiet little sound, just strong enough to be felt more than heard. The Master blinks and he tilts his head – then has to huff to blow his hair off of his forehead. Damn the Doctor for not letting him slick it back, but he had seemed quite convinced that hair gel would taste like old couch cushions.

He is not sure how the Doctor knows what hair gel or couch cushions would taste like. He is not even sure why tasting would be an issue when it came to hair, but in retrospect, he could see how accidents might happen with all the… snuffling.

For lack of a better word, snuffling.

The Doctor turns a little, giving a gentle little sound between the purring that was rather like a kittenish mewl. The Master pauses, then relents to curling a bit more about him.

It was only ten o’clock. He could suffer to cuddle a while longer.
