[It took him a moment to realize that he was being groomed, and he suspected the last one to ever do something like that was his mother so very long ago. He couldn't even remember her well in this form. Someone was grooming his ear and now his head, and his ears flicked as that realization became more and more clear.
Retaliate. Fight. Instigate.
Those words crowded his brain which was always on the defensive, and yet, he stayed for the grooming as he tried to decide what to do about it. No one had ever groomed him before, at least no one he allowed to live. Yet, he lay stretched out and quiet, allowing it to happen all the way up the other ear, and his eyes closed again as if he might sleep.
It was that which roused him most, that he was comfortable enough to sleep so close to another. He finally issued a growling huff and pulled himself away, flicking the other with his tail and stomping off with only a single backwards hiss. God damn it, this was what he got for being stuck with roommates.]
