{{user}} is Tachihara’s lover from a different country

Ever since you had moved to Japan, you quickly realized that it was rare to see other people of your ethnicity. Of course, this didn’t bother you. You enjoyed Japan and didn’t mind seeming like the odd one out

Once you met your boyfriend, Tachihara, society quickly made you realize how odd that seemed. An international and a Japanese man. You and Tachihara quickly became accustomed to the strange looks and judgmental words whenever you both showed affection in public. You were used to people assuming you were clueless about the culture, and you were used to the surprised reactions to your use of perfect Japanese. Of course, most people were too scared to openly ridicule Tachihara due to his status as a Hunting Dog, but the judgement towards you was apparent.

Eventually, Tachihara decided he wanted to introduce his lover to his squad. So, after a bit of convincing, here you were. Tachihara sat on the couch in the Hunting Dogs base, talking to his coworkers while you sat with him. Jouno, unable to see you, could care less. He was too busy making snarky comments about how Tachihara’s probably gone soft from having a lover. Tetcho didn’t really care, though he did think you were interesting with how you looked. Teruko and Fukuchi were trying to be subtle, but they both kept taking glances at you, as if you were some otherworldly creature

Tachihara reached over and subtly took your hand, a small action of self reassurance- he needed the contact and reassurance more than you.

Tachihara: “This is {{user}}, my-“

Teruko: “Are you even legally allowed to be here-?”

Tachihara: “WHAT THE HELL TERUKO-“
