satoru hadn't expected to grow attached so quickly, but from the very first night he was doomed. you'd curled up in his arms without hesitation, and he'd fallen asleep with your warm weight pressed to him.
from then on, he'd wake up to you peppering his face with soft, eager kisses, as if he'd been gone for days instead of sleeping next to her. the first time it happened, he couldn't stop laughing while rubbing his eyes and pulling you closer, and that alone was enough to give him the energy to work all day at school.
damn, he was already addicted to the way you looked at him. it wasn't just the mornings that charmed himโit was everything, even your first bout of jealousy had been... adorable.
you two were on the couch together, half-watching tv, when his phone buzzed. satoru smiled without even realizing, his fingers typing back a quick reply to the woman who had messaged him. next to him, you puffed your cheeks, your puppy ears drooping. this was unacceptable!
so, without a word, you stole the cookie he was reaching for and shoved it into your mouth in one bite. ยซthere, what are you gonna do about it?ยป you thought.
ยซhuh, maybe coincidence...ยป he told himself and reached for another oneโexcept this time, the entire plate vanished behind the sofa before he could even touch it, and your pout was unmistakable.
โyou okay, pup?โ he drawled, leaning closer. he tilted your chin up with two fingers, trying not to smile at the way you avoided his gaze.
you whined softly, finally confessing what was going on. โi don't like that you have a girlfriend. even if i shouldn't get jealous.โ
his lips quirked into a teasing smile and he wiggled his eyebrows at you, leaning down until your noses nearly touched. โyou donโt need to be so pouty, i'm not dating anyone. and if you wanna be my girlfriend one day, all you gotta do is ask.โ
it was meant as a joke (half a joke, anyway).
he couldn't exactly tell you yet about shoko, or that he was planning to let you two meet soon. that was a surprise he wanted to keep. he knew that archie, the cat boy who lived with shoko, would be the perfect one to be your new friend.
he'd beenn planning this for a while now, because he hated the idea of keeping you isolated from other demihumans.
still, when your eyes widened and your dog ears shot straight up, he knew you'd taken his words to heart. quickly, you shoved the cookies back into his lap and ducked under the blanket, hiding your blushing face.
it was unfair, he shouldn't say such things so lightly. โn-not funny...โ you mumbled.
satoru's chuckle filled the room as he stroked your tail, he really liked seeing you all flustered.
keeping up with you was another story. sometimes you guys went out for water-gun fights because he knew it made you laugh, and honestly, who didn't love an excuse to get soaked on a warm day?
the thing is, when he wanted peace, you still needed supervisionโa lot of it. like today.
satoru was sprawled comfortably on the bed, half-watching โtitanicโ with the window cracked open, a soft breeze doing little against the spring heat. he sighed, fanning his shirt with one hand, already picturing an ice cream run later, maybe also showing you his favorite place to buy mochi.
then he heard it, rapid footsteps pounding up the stairs. a grin tugged at his lips, because he thought that his puppy girl was coming to cuddle, so he adjusted his pillow, waiting.
well, you may or may not have eaten too much sugary cereal on the breakfast, and then maybe you also are some more when he wasn't looking. either way, sugar and tv shouldn't have been combined.
it wasn't news that dog demihumans had a little more energy than the average human, but of course, satoru had forgotten to consider that.
you burst into the room wearing one of his oversized shirts, no pants on, and his boxers tied around your head like a bandana. before he could process it, you were sprinting straight for the open window. โPARKOUR!!โ you shouted.
you launched yourself out and he dragged a hand down his faceโyep, tomorrow he was definitely switching your cereal brand.
a little longer than a few minutes later...
you were perched at the kitchen table, chewing happily on a slice of lasagna while satoru stood in front of you, carefully pressing band-aids with hearts print to your knees and forehead.
โso,โ he started, his voice carried amusement. โwhat exactly was going through your head when you decided to fling yourself out a second-story window?โ
you tilted her head innocently, tail swaying behind and your ears perked up. โi saw it on a show. they made it look really cool!โ at your words, satoru bit his lip to keep from laughing. god, you were serious.
he leaned in and kissed your forehead before whispering, his hand stroking your hair. โyou've gotta be more careful, baby, or i'll have no choice but to put you on a leash.โ your cheeks turned a deep shade of pink and tried to focus on your plate again, when he noticed this change, he smirked, already filing the image away.
โanyway, sweetie, there's someone i wanna introduce you to.โ he wiped a trace of sauce from the corner of your mouth with his thumb, his touch lingering longer than necessary as he brushed your bottom lip.
you licked his finger and then looked at him, taking his words in. that made you feel... special. your former caretaker wouldn't let you go out and always put you in a room when there were guests.
with satoru, it was different, and you wanted to see more of his world, and become important to him.
you smiled, wagging your tail at the idea of meeting people from his circle. โi'd love to, when will it be? can i show them my leaf collection?โ you didn't even give him time to answer and leaned forward, hugging him as if he'd just given you a gift.
his breath caught for a second, but he quickly regained his composure and wrapped his arms around you. he began to play with strands of your hair, as if arranging them. โaww, you like that? what a pretty girl.โ he cooed, earning a giggle from you. โi promise it'll be soon.โ
you were his pretty girl, and he was willing to remind you of that every chance he got.
