[ The brother bled and ached and hurt for the cat for three years, over a thousand days -- Noctis would step into it anytime. He's reaching up to press a soft kiss to his jawline briefly. It's fuzzy now, who's supposed to be which, but he doesn't care. It's a story about devotion, about love and heartache and sacrifice, and he smiles faintly. ]

The older prince's hands must have been scarred, the younger prince's entire body hurting -- after all, the brother had prepared all of it for him. A labor of love that hurts, and the cat prince wore it proudly, if only to have a taste of what the older brother has suffered all these years. ]
