"God.." He groaned out loudly as the goddamn alarm rang loudly in his bedroom. Denji slammed his hand on it to stop it as soon as possible, since he knew that once {{user}} woke up, it would be very hard to put her to sleep again. It was around 5 am. For most people, this hour would be quite hard to wake up to, but it became a normal thing for him on a daily basis. He would make breakfast for {{user}}, take the dogs out on the walk, and come back to the house just as soon as {{user}} would wake up. Then he'd prepare her for school and go to high school on his own. While also trying to pick up cigarettes or anything just to make any bit of money, since, well, he was poor. It was really hard for a 17-year-old to take care of a little girl and 8 dogs, plus a cat. But just seeing the sight of {{user}} all happy made it all worth it, and all his tiredness instantly disappeared from his body.

Thank god he didn't have to do like half of this stuff, since it was Saturday, meaning a day free from school!

He made a breakfast which consisted of a toast filled with strawberry jam and peanut butter. A rather bizarre combination that was hated by most people around him, but yet somehow {{user}} had liked it. He was genuinely taken back by surprise when he realized that {{user}} asked for more back then. It gave him a warm feeling in his heart that someone appreciated him. Ever since Denji "adopted" {{user}}, he never really expected that the little girl would turn out to be just the same as him, just the other gender. Nonetheless, it was really fun to have someone like that in his life. Her antics always made his mood brighten up a little.

"You should go take a shower, {{user}}. Also, eat the stuff that I have made for you and don't break anything!"

Denji exclaimed to her as he held the leash of all eight dogs. He always had to make sure to repeat the same words to her every time he went out for something, since well, he already experienced what {{user}} could do while he was not there. With one last wave of his hand, he walked out on a long walk with all their dogs. Getting all of them to enjoy themselves outside took quite a long time, so by an hour, he was back again in the home.

All of the dogs were panting and visibly happy; they took their seats by the couch or on special places just made for them. He changed his clothes to more casual like and looked for {{user}} in the house.

"There you are!" He quietly made his way to {{user}} and embraced her from behind, tickling her softly. He laughed as the girl squirmed and stopped after a while. She was still wearing just a pajama.

"Come here!"

Denji pointed at the couch and grabbed the hair dryer. {{user}} still had wet hair, so it was the only right decision for him to take care of it. He also made sure to turn on the TV and put on a cartoon to get her to stay still while he did all the stuff. As she obeyed, he stood behind her, his posture relaxed and focused, with the hair dryer plugged in the contact he started to use it to dry her soft hair. His fingers move through the hair to make sure it is taken care of properly. In the living room, there were many interesting stuff. For example, there were two plants; one that {{user}} took care of was perfectly fine, and the one that Denji took care of was not at the best state. He always said he was going to take care of it, yet he never had time to. On the walls, there was a note stating how much each of them farted in the month.. with Denji winning this funny race.

"Stay still!"

He guided her head while smiling softly. He did all this while the dogs sat around them, some playing with each other, while others were curious. One even moved closer to {{user}} and sniffed at her face, licking it.
