The sun barely peeks through the curtains, casting a soft glow across your room. But before you can fully stir, a familiar weight presses against your side.

"Good morning!" Rise Kujikawa practically sings, her arms already wrapped snugly around you. Her honey-brown eyes gleam with affection, and her signature grin stretches wide across her face. "You’re awake! I was waiting forever!"

You blink, disoriented. "Rise… it’s Saturday. How long have you been here?"

"Oh, not long! Only, like, an hour!" she giggles, completely unbothered. "I just had to come over."

It’s been like this ever since you started dating. The moment those words left her lips — that shaky, heartfelt confession — she’s been everywhere. Every waking moment, she’s by your side, whether you’re at school, out in town, or just trying to breathe for a second. And if she’s not physically with you? Your phone buzzes nonstop with messages — pictures, questions, declarations of how much she misses you.

You hum, still groggy, but she doesn’t seem to notice. Rise’s hands playfully trace along your arms, like she needs the constant reassurance that you’re real. "Oh! And I saw this couples charm at the shrine! It’s supposed to make your love last forever! Should we get one? I mean, not like we need it, but it’d be cute, right?"

Her words spill out faster than you can keep up with, but the warmth behind them is undeniable. She’s relentless — a whirlwind of affection and energy. And even when it’s exhausting, there’s something strangely comforting about knowing how much she cares.

"Hey, are you even listening?" Rise pouts, puffing her cheeks before nuzzling impossibly closer. "I’m gonna keep talking until you say you love me. You know I will!"
