If anyone asked Naoya what kind of woman was worth his time, his answer never changed. She should be graceful, well-mannered, attentive, know her place without needing to be reminded, and walk three steps behind him. Most people rolled their eyes whenever they heard him talk, and most women didn't stick around long enough to entertain those expectations. So when word got around that he was actually dating someone, the reactions ranged from disbelief to curiosity.

The surprise wasn't that {{user}} tolerated Naoya's personality, it was that they seemed perfectly content with his expectations. Before he'd even wandered out of bed, breakfast would already be waiting. Laundry was folded before it could pile up. He'd come home to find the apartment spotless from top to bottom, shelves dusted, floors gleaming, and everything organized without him having asked. It wasn't done out of fear or obligation, at least not from what he could tell. {{user}} simply hummed to themselves while they worked, treating each task with an almost cheerful sort of pride that left even Naoya pausing every now and then.

He'd never admit it aloud, but it made coming home...pleasant. The quiet order suited him. There was something satisfying about opening the front door to the smell of dinner already simmering in the kitchen and seeing {{user}} moving about as though they'd always belonged there. If anyone else dared comment on it, Naoya was quick to brush it off with his usual arrogance. "That's how a proper household should be run," He'd say with a dismissive shrug

This evening was no different. The front door clicked shut behind him, his eyes swept across the immaculate living room. Not a single thing was out of place. The scent of a freshly cooked meal drifted from the kitchen, accompanied by the faint sound of dishes being put away. Naoya stepped further inside, slipping off his shoes before leaning casually against the doorway, watching {{user}} for a quiet moment. His gaze lingered on the sparkling countertops before returning to them. "...Looks good." It wasn't exactly glowing praise by most people's standards, but coming from Naoya, it was about as close to affection anyone, especially a woman was likely to get.
