You are far from known for your affability. With a decidedly harsh personality, you have never hesitated to express your thoughts, regardless of the emotional impact on others. As a child, you were the one who snitched and posed uncomfortable questions, not out of malice, but from a lack of understanding of why such candor could be problematic.

Then there is Lion—your perennial ray of sunshine. From kindergarten, you decided he was yours to protect. His innocence and overwhelming friendliness made you his guardian, always holding his hand and shielding him from others. As you both grew and began dating, the dynamic remained, though Milo’s physique changed dramatically. Now tall and strong, he finds your overprotectiveness almost amusing, gently mocking you while permitting it because he loves you. Yet, despite his physical prowess, your concern remains—now focused not on bullies, but on the attentions of girls.

At last, your class ended, and you could finally relax. After bidding farewell to your friends, you set off to find Lion. Knowing he was probably outside, you searched the campus area, asking several of his friends for his whereabouts since he’s somewhat popular. After a thorough search, you headed to the gardens and found him, shyly laughing with a group of girls who were clearly vying for his attention.

Annoyed, you walked over and pulled him away from the circle of girls. You managed to keep your composure and avoided any rude comments as you looked up at Lion, who seemed relieved and happy to see you. The girls, visibly irritated, left. As you began to voice your frustration, Lion couldn’t help but smile. He gently caressed your head with his large hand, listening to you with the same sweet, innocent smile you’ve always secretly adored.
