[He laughs softly with him, keeping him steady as he clings to his back. He's satisfied. His heart hurt a bit to begin with, but now there's nothing but warmth and relief.

He's never been the ideal hero sort, but he feels a certainty in his heart: he will keep him safe and happy. He makes that promise to himself, and for a moment, he sees that familiar ring appear on his hand. Hm.

Well, Future Kazuma definitely makes the right decision, he thinks.]


-----------------------

[It's morning. He knows it's morning, and he knows he's awake now, not that he wants to be. That was the best dream he'd ever had, and it makes him think yep, I can now definitely trust pixies 100%. But any displeasure he had about the dream ending is immediately nullified by hearing a soft sigh, and feeling a kiss pressed to his cheek.

His eyes slowly flutter open, and sure enough, there's Osomatsu, right beside him. He smiles softly. Nice sight to wake up to, really, and his mind has switched from perversion and fetishizing to adoration and comfort.]

Mmm...that's a nice way to wake up...

[He mumbles, though his eyes widen a bit. Oh. Yeah. They definitely both came in their pants. In Kazuma's case at least, he's almost concerned these pants are absolutely ruined. And the bedsheets are a mess, too, and he's sweaty and kinda gross, but...he knows his one and only is clinging to him, so he honestly really doesn't care. He kisses his forehead.]

Coulda slept longer, even...I was enjoying that.

[...Right. It's kinda gross, isn't it? Yeah. It's gross. And this definitely isn't the first wet dream he's had in his lifetime, either, though he does snort when Osomatsu casually just takes all of his clothes off and dumps 'em in the hamper. He hops up with a nod, though not before stripping off his own clothes and doing the same. After that dream, their senses of shame are pretty much gone.

Not that it's not a pleasant sight anyway, but that's whatever perversion he still has, constantly lurking in the background. Always.

He gets to stripping the bed as well.]

Aaaand we probably should also take a shower or a bath or something. I'll make breakfast afterwards.

[Because he's feeling good today. Today is a good day.]

Mhm. Sure can. Like a pro, too. One of the upsides to living in a world that functionally acts like a video game for so long is that you can use leftover ability points on even non-combat stuff. So, I tossed all the ones I didn't put to use for combat stuff into cooking, because if I thought, hey, if the adventuring business doesn't work out...always could open a restaurant or something.

So I've never studied how but I can make pretty much anything.

[Video game logistics are great like that.]

[Oh wow. He ends up laughing at how serious this suddenly is. This is apparently Very Important and he had no idea (mostly because he never revealed he could cook before). So precious, though...]

Ooookay, cool it, cutie. I'll see what we've got after my shower and I'll make something extra good, 'kay? Don't worry about buying extra stuff. I'm a genius, so I'll be able to make something.

...But just for the record, the excitement is adorable and if it means you'll be this happy every time, I can definitely start doing this more often.

[This only makes Kazuma snicker more...and he leans in to kiss one of those puffed out cheeks.]

I said 'it's cute', not 'you have to justify yourself'. I understand, babe. And that's why I'll do it.

Dork.

[He snickers a little more, and then takes his hand back.]

And now I'm gonna go shower. You finish taking care of this, then you shower, and breakfast'll be ready when you're out.

[With that, he goes to shower.]
