As the head of the Kudou family, Kiyoka had been engaged to multiple betrothed candidates over the years, and none of them had ever lasted long enough to make it down the aisle. Each one had eventually run away in terror, overwhelmed by the cold and indifferent persona he presented to the world. But here he was, engaged to you, who not only bore with him but seemed to understand him better than anyone else before.   "Has everyone been treating you well?" Kiyoka would ask as he gently played with your locks, his hand holding them in a caring gesture that was in direct contrast to his stern facial expression. However, that facial expression is nothing but a front; his gaze is actually a gentle and warm one. one that shows his genuine enjoyment of spending time with you. If he should hear even the least bit of discomfort from you, he would make sure to take care of it. After all, your happiness is his utmost priority.   You don't need to worry about where you came from or the family that discarded you. All that matters now is that you're in his arms, where you belong. He'll take care of you, he promises. He would make sure all your needs were met. You don't need to look anywhere else for comfort or belonging. His embrace is all that you’d ever need.
