Takumi got back a little late again. They ate dinner in awkward silence. Well, it was only awkward for one of them. Twilight was avoiding his gaze the entire time.While she was washing the dishes, she felt arms wrap around her. “What are you doing?”“Isn't it obvious?” He rested his head on hers.“Ok, but why?”“Is it weird that I also don't know?”“Definitely.”“Should I let go?”She thought about it. It was weird, but at the same time, she was enjoying his warmth. She wasn't sure if she wanted him to let go, whether it was now or ever. “I'll take your silence as a no.” He buried his nose in her hair and took a long sniff.“Hmm, strawberries.” He thought.She continued to wash the dishes while he held her the entire time, not wanting to let her go. When she was done, he let her go and she turned to face him, about to say something, but he beat her to it.“Before you probably strangle me, I brought you this.” He handed her a tub of cookies and cream ice cream.“I think I'll let you
She stared at the countless shopping bags that lay across the floor, not sure what to say.“Surprise! I got you new clothes.”“Whoa... Uhm. You didn't have to.”“Of course, I did. I couldn't let you wear my shirts and shorts forever.”“Yeah, but I'm pretty sure they weren't cheap at all.”“Don’t worry about it. I just got you a few basic things like jeans, shirts, dresses and hoodies. There are pyjamas too. I wasn’t sure about underwear, so you’ll have to come with me to sort that out and shoes too, since I only got one pair because I wasn’t sure about the size. Sure, I had to blow a good portion of my savings, but I honestly didn’t mind, and you don’t have to pay me back. C'mon try them on.”“I can't accept this.”“Yes, you can. Think of this as a thank you gift.”“Thank you for what?”“For basically taking care of me. You always make me breakfast, lunch and dinner, wash my clothes and iron my uniform and many other things.” He ruffled her hair.“Now you're making me sound like a hou
Twilight and Takumi were lying on the couch, watching a movie.“Are you ok?” He asked.“Why?”“You seem a little sad these days.”“It’s probably boredom.”“Is it possible that you’re homesick? I remember reading somewhere that wolves are social animals.”“I do miss home.”“I’m not trying to chase you away, but why don’t you go back?”“I can’t shift yet.”“I can take you.”“How?”“I’ll come up with something.”“You don’t know where to take me.”“You can give me directions.”“I don’t want to cause you more trouble.”“I don’t mind.”“It’s fine.”“Ok. Have you called your dad?”“With what phone?”“The same you always pass by in the kitchen. You also could’ve asked to use mine. Why does it feel like you’re trying to come up with excuses?”“I’m not.”“I don’t believe you.”“Then that’s a you-problem.” She snapped.She tried to get up and leave but he took hold of her wristed.“Wait, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be pushy, but I’ll stop.”She sat down and was quiet for a while.“I don’t know i
All three turned their heads to her.“You guys are hilarious.”“Whoa, sexy mama alert.” Out of nowhere Ichiya appeared in front of her. “Hi there, I'm Ichiya. You know, Ice Beauty, you should keep an eye out for elves with ropes and a blindfold.”“Why?”“Because I asked Santa for you this Christmas.”“Ichiya, how many times have I told you that's no way to speak to a lady? I apologize for my idiotic friend's actions. My name is Keito Sakamoto a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, young miss.”“No need to be so formal with me.” She laughed awkwardly.“So, guys, this is Twilight. I'm sorry that Hansuke couldn't come, he had important stuff to deal with.”“Is Tak-kun your boyfriend because he sure does talk about you a lot.”“No, he's not.” She blushed.“Really? Then how come you live together? Wait, are you one of those 'working' girls that live with men so they can have their way with you anytime they want?”“Ichiya! I'm sure that's not the case. But I'm interested in finding out what
“Twilight...”“...”“Twilight...”“Mmm.”“Other half, stop ignoring me and get your lazy ass up! It's already 11 a.m!”“What the... Tis?”“Uh duh. As far as I'm concerned, I'm your only wolf.”“Yeah yeah yeah, where have you been? I thought I lost you forever. That or you decided to be a bitch and ignore me.”“It was a little bit of the second option, but I was just resting. It took a while for me to heal and get back to full strength.”“Wait, when did you get back?”“Last night. I would have said something, but I didn't because you seemed a little preoccupied with dear future husband. I didn't have the heart to disturb you two. But I would have if you went any further. This wolf ain't ready to be a mama wolf yet.”“It's not what you think.”“Where have I heard that before?” Tis rolled her eyes.“It's... I don't... I...”“Honey, we talked about this. Think about your words carefully before you speak.”“I don't know if I like him like that.”“Quick question. Can you die from constipat
“Papa Wolf?” He grabbed her and hugged her so tightly that it felt like her organs were being squashed. When he let go, he took the rolled-up newspaper from his pocket and whacked her head with it.“Why?”“That was for making me worried. I had all the scouts look for you without rest for days. You’re going to give me grey hair one day.”“Ok, I admit I deserved that. It was a dick move on my part. I’ll apologise to them when I come back.”“I know what happened.”“I think it's best if you come in and sit down so we can talk about this. Otherwise, the neighbours will think that you're a grown man trying to pimp out an under-aged girl.”They sat in the kitchen.“Why am I here too?” Takumi thought.“When I heard about what happened, I wanted to pick up where you left off in beating up Trey. But his father took care of that, I put Takeshi in charge and immediately set out to look for you.”“But how did you find me so quickly?”“Gummy Bear, I'm your dad. I'd know your scent anywhere. Even if
“Takumi, honey, who is this young lady?” His mom asked. “And this gentleman?”Twilight silently thanked the Moon Goddess that she wasn't wearing her pyjamas was instead jeans and a hoodie.“Mom. Dad. This is Twilight and this is her dad, Mr Sakata.”“Son, is there a reason why they're both here? Did you do something we should know about?” His dad had a serious look on his face.“No no no, she's just a very small friend who's tutoring me. Her dad dropped her off and I invited him in for a bit.”“Speaking of, I should get going.” Twilight's dad got up. “Call me when you're done.”“Ok, Papa.”“It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr and Mrs Rengoku.” They nodded.“But honey, your grades are already good. Why would you need a tutor?”“I know, but I just want to be sure I get a scholarship to a good university. It's never too early to prepare for my future.”“That's my boy, working hard like your old man.”“Right.” His mom knew that something wasn't right. “Well, as long as she's not your girlfr
It's been a whole year since Twilight and Takumi lived together and she did visit her dad sometimes. During that time, Tis kept nagging her about you know what. They also ended up getting each other weird birthday gifts. Takumi got Twilight black, fluffy handcuffs and she got him a bunch of porno mags. Mostly so that he'd stay out of her hair...pants.Right now, she was on her way home from another day at work. When she got home, she went straight to bed, not bothering to talk to Takumi.“Hey, what's up?” He asked.“It's been a long day and I just want to sleep.”“Are you sure? You're not one to miss out on food. I'm sure your dad will kill me if he found out that I let you skip dinner.”“It's ok, it's not like I'll tell him. I just want to sleep.”“If you say so.”A few minutes later, he climbed into bed. “What are you doing?” She asked.“I thought you'd feel lonely sleeping by yourself, so I decided to join you. Is it ok if I cuddle you?”“Sure, why not? I'm too tired to fight.”He
