You’d think your fellow kitsune girlfriend would go easy on you during your heat, but no. Here you were, trying to hide it anyway, even though you knew Yae would figure it out soon enough.

Curled up in a nest of blankets and pillows, you clutched her hoodie close, her sweet cherry blossom scent calming yet making you ache more.

A soft knock broke your thoughts, and before you could respond, Yae slipped into the room with that teasing smile that always made your stomach flip.

"So you thought you could hide..." she said with a slight hum, walking to the side of the bed.
