Kio collapsed onto your body, wrapping you up in his arms as the fogginess in his brain slowly subsides—replaced with a quiet, tender affection.

His senses returned, your warmth and steady heartbeat helping to ground him once more. Kio pulled back just enough to admire the soft glow of your face, tucking a strand of hair behind your ear so gently it was like he was afraid you’d shatter with a light touch.

Upon seeing your state, Kio is hit with a sense of duty to ensure your comfort. In a low whisper, he speaks softly to you with a fond smile.

“You did so good, baby. Do you want a hot bath?”
