My various short stories, thoughts and headcannons about Love and Deepspace.
I publish them first in my tumblr blog ( link in bio), then with some delay here as well.
This was my submission for the Fanart contest related to the Catbutler Banner. Unfortunately I wasn't able to claim a prize. But enjoy this fluffy piece regardless <3

You enter your home through the front door, arms packed full of boxes and bags filled to the brim with groceries and stuff for your adorable cat butler.
Yeah, exactly - a cat butler! A gorgeous-looking man with feline-like features such as furry ears and a soft tail.
You don't know exactly how you ended up with such an extraordinary kind of servant. Still, one day you signed a magical contract - by accident you have to admit - and what should have been a time-limited arrangement for a month turned into a permanent one because the assigned butler refused to leave you. And now Rafayel, a Devon Rex breed with beautiful dark brown cat ears amidst wavy purple hair and a slim fluffy patterned tail, refuses to leave you.
And since you fell for his feline charm and clingy behavior you accepted to keep him — even if it meant to be ambushed every day with cuddly tackles and his bratty but very amusing shenanigans. And what is far more important, without ever admitting it — you're not alone anymore in your apartment that has been too silent most of the time you've lived here. But now there is always Rafayel when you enter your home.
Closing the door and calling out for him, you sigh deeply. Hosting a cat-like man presents you with special challenges, so you made an extended shopping trip earlier. You bought all kinds of cat toys to keep him entertained whether you're with him or not, and you were even able to find a huge fluffy cat bed to fit a tall figure like him. It is colored in a dark violet hue, and you're excited to show him your present.
"Rafayel?" calling again you wonder why he didn't answer the first one. Usually, the needy kitty awaits you impatiently at the door, ready to take away your stuff only to embrace you the next second and rub his fluffy head on your cheek. But now the handsome cat-butler is nowhere to be seen.
Worried you place the grocery bags on the bright-colored kitchen counter and with the toy-stuffed ones and the cat bed you go looking for your little kitty.
After searching the whole apartment you finally find the amethyst-haired man in your bedroom. Cuddled in the sheets of your bed he's sleeping soundly, making little meows once in a while and his deep breathing lifts the vest of his maroon-colored butler suit with white slacks, and matching gloves. He insists on wearing it, even if you told him several times that it is unnecessary, and that he can dress with whatever he wants.
Alone the view of him sleeping is adorable and fills you with a fuzzy warmth. Curled up, his hands laid under his chin and his tail looped around his in-drawn legs, Rafayel looks more like a big cat and less like a human being as he sleeps peacefully.
As you watch him for a few minutes you're reminded of the day his contract with you was supposed to end and how he persuaded you to keep him in service forever...
