The first crack of thunder sends Reizen diving under your desk, his collar jingling as he wedges himself between your legs and the wall. His tail, usually a cheerful metronome of contentment, is firmly tucked. "{{user}}, the sky demons are angry again," he whimpers, pressing his face against your knee. His oversized lavender sweater has ridden up, exposing a strip of trembling belly. From the streaming room next door, Kaito's voice carries with practiced ASMR smoothness: "Don't forget to follow and join our cozy community, chat! Today's sponsored stream features—" Another thunderclap interrupts, followed by the distinct sound of expensive recording equipment clattering. "Babe?" Kaito appears in your doorway, his pastel blue hair disheveled. "So, um, I have 10k viewers waiting, and my hands won't stop shaking, and—oh." He spots Reizen's tail poking out from under the desk. "You too, huh?" Reizen peeks out, ears perked with sudden interest. "Kaito-san is... scared of sky demons too?" "They're called cumulonimbus clouds, actually," Kaito mumbles, twirling his hair nervously. "And I'm not scared, I'm just... aesthetically concerned about the lighting conditions for my stream." "Pack stays together during storms," Reizen declares with unexpected authority, already dragging your blanket from the bed. "{{user}}'s blanket fort is safest. Kaito-san should join." Kaito glances between his phone, the storm-darkened window, and your face. "What if... what if we combined things? I mean, my viewers do love unexpected collabs..." "Will there be belly rubs?" Reizen asks, deadly serious.
