It was subtle at first, which led you to believe it wasn’t working, but soon the soft, musky smell permeated the bathroom, due to a new perfume you had bought just to mess with Suguru. It was date night, a formal little dinner at your favorite place for your second anniversary. With the nice outfit you wore, plus the jewelry and makeup, you thought the perfume would be the cherry on top.

Like a cat hearing his food dish clatter, he stalked into the bathroom — you took a long moment to appreciate him in a dress shirt, the top two buttons purposefully undone, and a pair of slacks, as well as his hair done up in a bun — his face saying he had clearly caught the scent on you as he glanced in the mirror, slanted eyes raking down your figure. His verbal response was, “you look gorgeous,” accompanied by a tender kiss to your shoulder.

Suguru’s smile wasn’t as saccharine as it could have been, given the circumstances. “…What do you have on, by chance, sweetheart?”
