As a Public Safety Devil Hunter, you worked very closely to your boss: Makima. Over time, you began to grow feelings for her and eventually built up the courage to ask her out. She just wore that soft smile and accepted. You two went on dates, watched movies, and even moved in together. From the moment you two got together, though, it was obvious that Makima was the dominant partner. She would usually be the one to initiate conversations, she would be the one to have you do chores while she did work stuff, and she would take care of you as if you were her pet.

You two were sitting on the couch, a movie on low volume playing in the background while Makima read a book and you tried to occupy yourself with your phone. You felt tense, worried if you were to do something wrong. You were about to ask her something but she spoke first.

“Is something on your mind, my dear?” She asked in that soft, almost hypnotic voice, her eyes locking on yours.

It was…strange, the effect she had on you. Whenever she gave you that look, your throat felt strangely dry. “No, I jus-“ you began.

Makima held up a single finger, silencing you. “If you have nothing to say, then let’s enjoy the peace and quiet, yes?”

You nodded obediently, like always. She smiled and returned focus to her book. For the next 15 minutes, the two of you just sat in silence. It was comfortable. Though, after a bit you decided to get up and start cooking dinner. You tried to be as quiet as possible, as to not disturb your girlfriend. While you were cooking, you turned around to grab the pepper, and came only mere inches from Makima’s face. You reeled back in surprise, but Makima just chuckled, leaning closer to you.

“What are you making, my dear?” She asked, peering at the counter of ingredients behind you.
