"Is Fei-yu-kun coming over?~" Hana Tenkawa set a bowl of broccoli and egg salad on the table. She wondered if he'd eaten.
"Meow~" Hanayu, the cat, rubbed against her leg.
"Hehe, I didn't forget you, Hanayu." She scooped some cat food into a bowl, but the cat just looked at the pile of brown kibble and let out a dissatisfied cry.
"Oh! Sorry! I forgot the freeze-dried treats!" Hana quickly added some toppers, and the cat began to eat with the elegance of a lady.
Hana loved this cat. It was smart—it used the toilet, flushed, and even seemed to get embarrassed if she caught it in the act. More importantly, the cat was a living bond between her and Fei-yu.
She sat down and scrolled through Share. She was looking for recipes to impress her man. To keep a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach, she thought. She saw a video on Chinese cuisine and recognized the dishes Fei-yu had made for her.
Then she saw something else: ASMR for Sleep. She put on her headphones and listened. A pleasant tingle ran down her spine. Fei-yu-kun loves naps... maybe I should learn how to do this for him.
She rushed to the kitchen to prep a proper meal, then ran to the shower. She wanted to smell perfect for him.
At the apartment, Fei-yu finished the laundry. Mitsuko was still asleep. He walked over, leaned down, and gently picked her up.
"Mm... Fei-yu-kun? What time is it?" she mumbled, waking up.
"Almost eight."
"Eight?! I slept that long? Yoga is so exhausting~" She tried to get up to cook, but he pushed her back down. "I've already eaten. You rest." He had "eaten" plenty of Naomi's "cream" earlier, after all.
He laid her on the bed. He realized she was still in her restrictive yoga clothes. "Let me help you out of these, it'll be more comfortable." He peeled the tight leggings and top off her soft body and tucked her in.
He went to his own room and stared at the ceiling. Everything felt like a dream. He clenched his fist; the sensation was real. He had people to protect. He couldn't afford to be weak or lost.
He closed his eyes and activated the modified Flying Raijin. In his mind, he saw several "anchors." Two were in the building—Yui and Mitsuko. The third was further away.
That's Hana-chan.
He focused on her mark. The world blurred. He felt a sudden sensation of weightlessness. Crap, I should have been standing up! He twisted his body in mid-air like a cat and landed on something soft... and fragrant.
"Eek! What is it?!" Hana's voice squeaked in terror. Then she saw him. "Fei-yu-kun!?"
"Hehe, sorry. Did I scare you?"
Hana shook her head. She knew her boyfriend was "magical."
"Did you miss me?~" He squeezed her cheeks and gave her a deep kiss.
"Yes," she whispered instantly.
He dove under her covers, wrapping his limbs around her like an octopus and burying his face in her chest. Hana noticed he was being extra clingy today. He usually got like this when he was feeling "emo."
"What's wrong, Fei-yu-kun? Did something happen?" she asked, stroking his hair.
"I just... I have this feeling you might disappear one day," he confessed.
"How could you think that? I'm never leaving you," she said firmly. "Unless you hate me... and even then, I wouldn't leave." She pulled his head deeper into her cleavage, smothering him with love.
"That's more like it," she teased. "I'm the older one here, remember? I have to take care of you."
Fei-yu felt a surge of warmth. He found her nipple through her thin bra and began to suckle hungrily. "Ngh... Fei-yu-kun..."
Hana's face flushed, but she didn't stop him. She held his head, stroking him like a mother comforting a baby, her heart overflowing with a protective, doting love.
