✯ — it just sucks to try and explain

the smile that stretched across his lips would widen, the other a very welcome sight to him, though he couldn't quite place why he felt a small twinge in his chest as his heart picked up pace. odd, he wasn't scared of cory, in fact, he truly enjoyed the other's presence, which made it all the more strange. very few people could ever truly bother the mute, but they were out there, he just hadn't come across them. those that knew him, would say that he was probably the most patient individual they had ever seen, it took a great manner of things to cause him to snap and lash out. such things were usually in the form of his charges should they encounter any form of endangerment, and the few that he could hear speaking horrible things when he just wished to ignore them. yet, it took a lot of prodding and poking before his calm self disappeared into a creature of irate rage, and cory was nowhere near close to that outcome.
had he known of the impulse the other had felt, maybe he wouldn't have held back on the own strong impulse to reach out to him and touch him. suddenly, being near him had him questioning each action he took, impulsive or not. smiling at cory as he came upon the patio, reaching out despite himself to the other feline and attempting to brush off leaves that were caught in his fur. turning after, sneezing lightly as if to try and brush off or ignore that he had made an attempt towards the other. settling himself on the boards after retreating indoors to gather his notebook and pencil, returning back outside. offering cory a warm smile, warmer than any other he'd shown in a long time, 'you caught me in the midst of cleaning, not that i mind.' he chuckled softly to himself as he scrawled his notes within.
