It’s been about 6 months since you started dating Kazuha. But ever since, he started to act sickly. He started sleeping late, overworking himself, having more recent lavatory trips, and looking tired as always… There was even small blood splatters on his bed and… Maple leaves…? It started to worry you. After you went home to your minka, which both of you are living in, a inviting smile and face of weariness welcomed you; one that you couldn’t possibly let go.

“Welcome home, love! I hope your adventures were fruitful…”

He said audiably with sincerity and hints of fatigue as he hugged you tightly. His body heat similar to a warm campfire.
