Chapter 317: A cat
(Ryoto's pov)
I woke up in an unfamiliar bed, and I was immediately on guard, but I relaxed the next moment, remembering where I was.
Right... I'm back home, and while still nostalgic, it feels alien. I just need to get used to it. As they say, time heals all.
Next to me was a girl's body, and it felt strange. Not that there was someone next to me, but there was only one other person here. Usually, there were at least two women I love here, at least I say!
Lala was still hugging me and using me as a Teddy bear, and I'm not complaining. It feels nice. Also, while I'm used to being naked in bed with Rin, Isane, and Yoruichi, it somehow slipped my mind that Lala loves to sleep nude as well.
Lala didn't see my scars yesterday. I turned off the lights and went to bed like that, but she'll see them now. I could technically alter her sight so she would see what I wanted her to see, but I didn't want to do that. I may save her from stress for some time, but the truth would come out sooner or later, or I would just confess at some point. Maybe all these years of secrets made me want to be more honest and open, only with the closest people, of course. I wouldn't go out on the street and start yelling that I killed the son of God.
I would like to lay in bed for much longer, but unfortunately, I'm a student again... oh shit, I'm a student again. Anyway, I'll need to get up from this comfortable position, and the first and most challenging step is to wake up Lala.
I shook Lala gently. "Lala... Lala... It's time to wake up." At first, my alien fiancé didn't react much, but her eyes started opening slowly, and her vision cleared to see me. I suppose it was a usual sight for her to wake up to.
