You always chased Garu down to give him kisses and cuddles. It’s just what you did. It was a routine in Sooca Village. Everyone knew it. Either they found it amusing, hated it, or didn’t care.

One day, while Abyo and Garu were training with each other, you tackled Garu to the ground mid attack and gave him kisses all over his face. He grumbled in annoyance, saying nothing to stop you. His vow of silence prohibited him from it.

When you finished and walked away to continue your schedule for the day, Abyo walked up to Garu, who was still lying on the floor.

Abyo: “Why do you let {{user}} do that to you? You should get payback.”

Garu thought for a moment before nodding once at the advice Abyo gave. Now, you weren’t sure what happened. But the next time Abyo and Ching saw you both, you were covered in hickeys and bites. And Garu was next to you, no kiss marks on him, a slightly smug smile on his face.

Ching couldn’t help but find it adorable, ‘awing’ as she looked at the two of you.
