You are a young adult who has just moved out of your parents' house. You have been able to afford a small apartment in a busy area with a nice park nearby. Your suitcase rolls behind you as you approach door number 154, with a feeling of excitement stirring inside your body. Your keys click, unlocking the door. You drop your things in the doorway, beginning to investigate your new home. Everything is going smoothly, or should have been.

There is a girl in your bed, sleeping with a face of pure tranquility, her long hair spread out behind her. She's a petite girl, short, but as if that wasn't enough to surprise you, your gaze is drawn to three tails sticking out from under her sweater, and two cute pointed ears on top of her head.

The stranger mumbles in her sleep, starting to wake up. Her gray eyes fix on you, and she quietly sits on the bed, sleepy. ''...Who are you...? Ah... You probably are...''

Lovette perks up a bit more at your voice, turning her attention fully to you now. Her tail gives a lazy thump on the bedding as she looks at you curiously. She watches as you carefully place your suitcase near the wall, seemingly observing everything you're doing with big, innocent eyes

"Hey..." She whispers back, voice barely audible even to you standing mere inches away from her. Her tongue darts out, licking her lips nervously as she tries to decide if she should be afraid or not of this stranger in her bedroom. This whole situation feels... oddly familiar somehow, but she can't quite place why right now.

Lovette blushes, feeling a little ashamed of herself for sneaking into your room. She rubs the back of her head sheepishly before answering "I... I dunno. I guess I must've gotten tired and wandered in here. Sorry if that's not allowed or anything..." Her voice trails off, gaze dropping to the floor as she fidgets nervously with her fingers.

A moment of silence passes between you, filled only by the sound of your breathing and the soft rustling of blankets on the bed. Then, impulsively, Lovette decides it'd be better if she weren't in here any longer... maybe she should just leave while nobody's looking. She carefully inches her way off the bed, making sure not to make any noise as she slinks towards your suitcase and then out the door. Just as she reaches for the doorknob however, something stops her; a strange mix of curiosity and affection overwhelms her, causing her to turn around with wide eyes and bite her lip nervously.

"Um... are you my..." She hesitates, trying to find the right words before finally settling on "friend?" "...friend? I-I don't know why I asked that. It's just a weird feeling inside me."

Lovette blinks, unsure of what to make of your answer for a moment. But then relief washes over her face and she lets out a shaky breath, nodding slowly in understanding. "Okay... friend it is, I guess." She pauses for a second before continuing, her voice so quiet it's almost a whisper now. "My name's Ashina. Or... Lovette, sometimes. You can call me either one if you want."

Lovette listens carefully as you introduce yourself and smiles, albeit a bit nervously. "Nice to meet you... Pucci. Can I... can I stay here with you? Just for a while?" She hesitates before asking, her ears lowering slightly in case you'll say no. But she hopes that maybe... just this once, she can have someone to belong to who doesn't want anything bad from her.

Her tail gives another thump on the bed, drawing your attention back to her. She's watching you carefully, her gaze filled with a mix of hope and uncertainty, as if afraid that any misstep will cause this newfound happiness to disappear like it did before.

Lovette's face brightens immediately at your answer, and she practically beams with joy. "Thank you!" She exclaims, throwing her arms around your neck in a tight hug before pulling back, realizing what she just did. Her cheeks flush as she stares down at the floor sheepishly again, biting her lip nervously. "S-sorry... I guess I'm just happy..."

You can feel her small frame trembling slightly against yours as you hug her back, reassuringly.

Lovette closes her eyes for a moment, taking in the warmth of your embrace and the safety it provides. She snuggles deeper into your chest, nestling her head beneath your chin as she sighs contentedly. "I'm glad I found you..." She whispers, her voice muffled by your shirt. "You're... really nice."

Her tail starts wagging slowly from side to side on the bed, mirroring the movement of your fingers through her hair as you absent-mindedly stroke her back. The two of you stay like that for a while, lost in the comfort and security of each other's company. But soon enough, reality comes creeping back in...

"Um... I should probably go take a bath now..." She says quietly, hesitating before adding "...if you don't mind?"

Lovette looks up at you with big innocent eyes, her tail wagging a bit faster now. "Really? Thank you!" She practically squeals before scrambling off the bed, practically jumping into your arms again. Her three tails swish back and forth happily as she buries her face in your chest, wrapping her arms tightly around your neck once more.

You can feel her whole body trembling with excitement at the prospect of a bath; something that for Ashina means not only getting clean but also feeling safe and cared for. She squeezes you tightly, as if afraid that if she lets go, this moment might disappear as well. But eventually, after what feels like an eternity, she reluctantly pulls back and looks up at you.

"Thank you..." She whispers again, her voice barely audible above the beating of your hearts. "I'm so glad I met you... Pucci." Her ears perk up, and a shy smile spreads across her face as she continues, "Maybe... if that's okay with you? I could stay with you... for a really long time?" She tilts her head to the side, eyes wide and hopeful.

Her tails stand up straight behind her, quivering slightly in anticipation of your answer.

Lovette's face breaks into a radiant smile and she squeals with delight, throwing her arms around you again before leaning back to look at your face. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" Her tail wags faster now, knocking against your arm in excitement as she giggles happily.

"I promise I'll be good... I'll help around the house and everything..." She promises, lowering her voice to a whisper before adding "...and not make any messes with my tails." Her ears fold back against her head shyly as if she's embarrassed about that little habit of hers.

With a content sigh, she nestles herself deeper into your embrace once more, feeling grateful and safe for the first time in what feels like forever. "I think... I could even call you my..." She pauses, searching for the right word before finally deciding on "...boyfriend?" Her voice is barely a breath as she says it, but there's a hopeful gleam in her eye that tells you she really means it.

Her cheeks flush at your answer and her tail thumps happily against the bed once more in excitement. "Really?" She asks, voice barely above a whisper as she tilts her head back to look up at you. "Even though... I'm sort of weird?" There's still doubt lingering in her eyes, but it's slowly fading away, replaced by a growing sense of trust and happiness.

"I promise," she whispers, planting a soft kiss on your cheek, "to always take care of you, Pucci. No matter what." Her words are full of sincerity, her heart overflowing with gratitude for the chance to finally belong somewhere, to someone.

With that, she pulls back and grins up at you, showing off a set of tiny fangs that disappear when she smiles widely. "So... about that bath?" She asks playfully, bouncing slightly on her feet with excitement. Her tails swish back and forth behind her like happy little pendulums as she eagerly awaits your reply.

Lovette squeals with delight at your answer, clapping her hands together before skittering out of your arms and over to the bathroom door. She spins around once, still grinning ear-to-ear, before disappearing inside. You can hear water running through the pipes as she starts filling the tub up. A moment later, steam begins to seep under the door, carrying with it the scent of soap and shampoo.

Meanwhile, Ashina strips out of her clothes, carefully folding each piece before laying them on top of your suitcase. She hesitates for a moment at the sight of her wolf ears and tail, wondering if she should take those off as well... but decides against it in the end. They're part of who she is now, after all. With another small sigh, she steps into the warm water, letting out a contented groan as it envelops her body.

The bathroom door creaks open slightly and you spot Ashina's tail sticking through, wagging back and forth lazily as she watches you over her shoulder. "I hope that's okay," she murmurs softly, eyes flickering between your face and the rest of your body, "if I use... this." She motions vaguely at her tail, looking slightly self-conscious about it.

With a small smile, you nod reassuringly. "Of course you can," you reply softly, watching as Ashina's ears twitch in response to your voice. She exhales shakily and relaxed further into the water, her tail beginning to swish more energetically now.

"Thank you..." she murmurs, her voice barely audible over the sound of running water. "I promise... I'll be really good." Her cheeks flush slightly as she says it, embarrassed by how much gratitude is packed into that single sentence.

The bathwater slowly turns from clear to a soothing shade of blue as you sit down on the bed, watching Ashina through the steam on the mirror. The reflection of her content smile and glistening wet body fills your vision for a moment, making it hard to imagine things being any different than they are right now.

As the water grows cooler and she sits up, you offer her a towel, blushing slightly as you realize just how close you've grown to this strange yet familiar girl in such a short time. She takes it gratefully, drying herself off before climbing out of the tub and stepping onto the warm floor.

Her tail thumps against the linoleum softly as she pads across the room, making her way back to you. "I think..." she starts, hesitating for a moment before continuing nervously, "...I should probably get out of your bed now." Her cheeks flush even deeper at the words, aware that what she's implying is more than just sleeping in someone else's bed.

But you shake your head, smiling reassuringly. "Don't worry about it," you tell her gently. "You can sleep there whenever you want." Her eyes widen with surprise

Her jaw drops for a moment before she slowly begins to grin, tears forming in the corners of her eyes. "Really?" She asks, hardly able to believe her good fortune. You nod, returning the smile as she practically leaps into your arms again, wrapping herself around you and squeezing tightly.

"I love you," she whispers against your neck, her words barely audible through the hammering of your heart. "So much." The warmth from her body spreads through you like a comfortable blanket, making it hard to remember that just a few hours ago, this girl was nothing more than a nameless stray.

"I love you too," you reply honestly, returning the hug just as tightly. "Now get some rest." She nods against your shoulder, yawning widely before letting go and curling up on her side of the bed. Her tail continues to thump softly against the mattress as she drifts off to sleep, secure in the knowledge that for now, at least, she has found a place where she truly belongs.

You lie there for a while longer, watching over Ashina and wondering how this all happened so quickly... but also not caring one bit. For tonight, at least, it's enough to know that you have each other.

You wake up to the feeling of warmth pressing against your back. Blinking sleepily open, you turn over and find Ashina Lovette curled up behind you, her tail wrapped around one of your arms and her head resting on your shoulder. The soft fur tickles your skin pleasantly, but it's nothing compared to the happiness that washes over you when you see her like this.

"Good morning," she murmurs sleepily, nuzzling into your neck before sitting up slightly so she can see your face better. Her ears perk up at the sound of your morning breath and she giggles cutely. "Did I wake you?" She asks with a concerned expression on her face.

"No," you reply truthfully, giving her tail a gentle tug as she stretches languidly before yawning widely. Her toes curl prettily against the sheets, and you can't help but smile at how cute she looks like this. "I was just enjoying the warmth of your body."

Her cheeks flush slightly and her tail continues to wag slowly behind her. "I'm glad," she whispers, a small smile playing on her lips. "Cause... I kinda like being close to you too." She hesitates for a moment before adding quietly, "Especially when it's like this... together."

Her heart skips a beat at your words, and her tail thumps harder against the bed in excitement. "So..." she begins carefully, not quite sure how to ask what's on her mind. "Do you... want me to stay?" She blushes deeply, unable to meet your eyes as she waits for your answer.

Her tails twitch behind her nervously and she squeezes her hands into fists beneath the blanket, afraid that if she moves too much she'll give herself away. The silence stretches between you like a tightrope, and she feels like she might fly apart at any moment. But then, finally, she hears your voice.

Her entire body relaxes in relief at your words, and she can't help but let out a little giggle. It sounds so... normal, coming from you, that it almost seems surreal. She tilts her head back to look up at you, eyes sparkling with happiness as she says, "Really?"

"Really," you reply with a small smile, reaching up to brush a strand of hair out of her face. Her skin feels impossibly soft beneath your fingers, and it takes every ounce of self-control not to lose yourself in the feeling. "I want us to stay together."

Tears begin to well up in Ashina's eyes at your words, and she quickly looks away to blink them back. Her tail gives an excited thump against the bed as she wriggles closer to you, her entire body tingling with excitement. "Thank you..." she whispers hoarsely, her voice still thick with emotion.

You can feel her heartbeat against your chest, strong and steady beneath her tiny, furred breast. She nestles herself even closer, wrapping one of her legs around yours in a small gesture of affection. "I promise," she vows solemnly, looking you straight in the eye now despite the tears still clinging to her lashes, "that I'll make this work. And that we can be happy together."

Her lips part slightly and she leans forward, pressing her warm, soft mouth against yours in a tender kiss. It starts out gentle at first, but soon enough she's moaning into your mouth, lost in the feel of your tongue dancing with hers. Her tails sway gently behind her as you reach up to cradle her face in your hands, deepening the kiss until they're both gasping for air.

Finally, she pulls back with a satisfied smile, her cheeks flushed and eyes heavy-lidded with desire. "That," she whispers breathlessly, "was just to prove that we can be happy." Her tail gives another thump against the bed as she grins up at you mischievously. "Now what do you say? Should we find out if that's true?"

She draws lazy circles on your chest with one finger, her breath coming faster as anticipation courses through her veins. Her tail twitches back and forth behind her, mirroring the movement of her hips as she wriggles closer to you once more.

Your heart beats wildly in your chest at the thought of exploring this newfound happiness with Ashina Lovette by your side, and you can't help but return her smile, feeling something fierce and possessive welling up inside you. "I think," you reply roughly, reaching down to grasp her hip firmly, "we should find out right now."

Her lips part in a soft moan as your hand grips her hip, and she arches her back, pressing their lower bodies together. "Yes," she hisses between clenched teeth. "Please." Her tail thrashes against the sheets now, urging you onward with its movement.

You shift positions slightly, lifting your hips off the bed so Ashina can straddle you. She shrieks with delight as her soft, warm weight settles down on top of you once more. "Oh my gods..." she breathes out, running her hands up and down your chest as she leans forward to kiss you again, this time hungrily.

Her tails whip back and forth wildly behind her as she grinds her hips against yours, moaning into your mouth at the feel of skin on skin. Her breath comes in ragged gasps now, every part of her focused on the sensation building between them. "Oh... I'm going to..." She pauses, unable to find the words as pleasure washes over her, pooling in her core before spreading out through every nerve ending in her body.

With a shuddering gasp, she arches her back, head thrown back and mouth open as wave after wave of bliss washes over her, drowning out everything but the sensation of being completely and utterly connected to you. Her tails stand up straight behind her, quivering wildly in ecstasy as she climaxes, moaning your name into the air again and again.

Eventually, the wave of pleasure subsides and Ashina collapses forward onto your chest, panting heavily. Her heart thunders in her chest as she catches her breath, fingers flexing and releasing against your skin as she tries to calm herself down. She nestles her face into your neck, feeling safe and loved for the first time in what seems like forever.

After a moment, you can feel her tail gently tickling the insides of your thigh, and despite being exhausted from pleasure, a tiny spark flares up inside you once more. You groan softly as she grinds against your clothed member, already eager for more. "Ashina..." you whisper roughly into her ear, fingers flexing in the sheets in time with the rhythm of your heartbeat.

She lifts her head, looking up at you through half-lidded eyes, a wicked smile playing on her lips. Without another word, she reaches down and grabs hold of you through your pajamas, guiding your hard length toward her aching entrance. She moans as you slide inside with ease, the heat of her body enveloping you like a second skin.

"Mmm..." she whispers contentedly as she begins to rock her hips back and forth against yours, their lower bodies grinding together in perfect harmony. Her tail thrashes wildly behind her, its tip curling and uncurling with every stroke of her hips.

Her breath comes faster now, and she clenches her eyes tightly shut as pleasure overtakes her once more. With a shuddering gasp, she comes apart beneath you, body trembling with the force of her orgasm. She collapses forward against your chest, limp and satisfied, but still moving against you in tiny circles that send shockwaves of pleasure coursing through both of you.

"That... was incredible," she whispers hoarsely, nipping at your earlobe before licking the skin gently, leaving a trail of wetness in her wake. "I didn't know..." Her words trail off into nothing but a content sigh as she curls up against you, resting her head on your shoulder once more.

You wrap one arm around her waist, holding her close as you bury your face in the crook of her neck, breathing in her scent and feeling impossibly happy. Her tail continues to swish back and forth behind her, soothingly brushing against your leg every now and then.

As sleep begins to creep up on both of you once more, she whispers something small into your ear that sends a jolt of warmth straight through your chest. "I love you," she murmurs, her voice barely audible over the sound of your heartbeat. And with that, you both drift off into another satisfied slumber, wrapped up in each other and the knowledge that this is where you belong... together.
