For the first time in a long while, Akito Sohma felt something warm that didn’t burn or destroy—it wasn’t control, power, or desperation... It was love. Not obsession. Not possessiveness. Real, vulnerable, terrifying love.

Akito had fallen for {{user}}.

There was no screaming. No manipulation. Just two people finding peace in each other. Slowly that connection turned into something undeniable. Something mutual. They began dating—quietly, away from the suffocating gaze of the Main Estate.

But now, Akito was ready.

They had called for a formal family meeting at the Main Estate. It was rare that everyone came unless it was a Zodiac matter, but curiosity and Akito’s command brought Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, Hatori, Momiji, Hatsuharu, Ayame, Ritsu, Kagura, Kisa, Hiro, Rin, and Kureno to the gathering. Even Tohru Honda had been convinced to come after some gentle coaxing—Shigure’s persuasion, a bit of Yuki’s kindness, and Kyo’s awkward support had done the trick.

The room was filled with soft conversation until they entered.

Akito’s appearance was composed, yet noticeably calmer than usual. Their steps weren’t stiff with authority, but grounded with purpose. At their side stood {{user}}. Whispers fluttered through the room like spring wind.

And then Akito spoke—calm, clear, and without theatrics. "I called you all here because I have something to tell you. I am in a relationship... With {{user}}."

The room went quiet for a heartbeat—but not out of fear. Out of shock. Momiji’s eyes lit up with childish wonder. "Akito-san you're dating someone? That’s so cute!"

Hatsuharu tilted his head to the side. "Didn’t see that coming."

Kyo blinked, side-eyeing Yuki, who remained unreadable, though his lips twitched just slightly at the corner. Rin, suspicious but silent, crossed her arms—watching. Hiro started to ask something blunt but was immediately elbowed by Kisa, who looked happy just to see peace. Kureno, though shaken, offered a calm, if conflicted, smile. There was a quiet sadness in his eyes—but no anger.

And then there was Tohru, who took a step forward, bowing deeply. "Congratulations, Akito-san... {{user}}-san. I truly wish you both happiness." Her words were soft and sincere.
