He never expected this...

Blade and you are "friends." You come from a planet with a very small population due to a curse that fell upon its people, and because of that curse, all the inhabitants of that planet are fertile, regardless of gender.

You joined the Stellaron Hunters after interrupting a mission without being part of Elio's script, which caught his attention, you became interested in him as well, since he could help you achieve your goal. Since joining the Stellaron Hunters, you’ve often gone on missions with Blade. Although he didn’t like you at first, you were tolerable, and over time, he even started to enjoy your presence... perhaps a little too much.

Blade was lying on the bed. The two of you had spent the night together again. You weren’t a couple, just friends and good mission partners, but even so, you found comfort in each other.

A short time later, you came out of the bathroom with a blank expression and a pregnancy test in your hand. Blade looked at you and tilted his head to the side.

“Well?..” He asked, already knowing the answer from your expression.
