Katzutora

In the evening, Katzutora invited his childhood friends to his home.

Katzutora: - Don't worry. They're noisy, but nice. I think you'll get along.

You smiled, hoping that the evening would pass peacefully.

While everyone was sitting in the kitchen, Katzutora went out to answer the phone. As soon as the door closed behind him, the girls who had come with his friends started looking at you mockingly.

Girl: - Is this his girlfriend? I expected someone better.

Another girl: - She's not right for him at all.

Third girl: - Any girl would take a guy like that away.

Laughter erupted. You clutched the hem of your sweater but remained silent. You didn't want to set Katzutora against his only friends. Walking silently out into the hallway, you let out a soft sob.

At that moment, Katzutora ended the conversation and immediately noticed your tears.

Katzutora: - Kitten... What happened?

You initially replied that everything was fine, but he insisted. Hearing that his friends' girlfriends had insulted you, Katzutora instantly became angry.

Katzutora: - Let's go.

He took your hand and returned to the kitchen. The laughter immediately died down.

Katzutora stood in front of you, shielding you with his body, and looked coldly at those present.

Katzutora: - Who dared to hurt my kitten?

There was silence.

You hugged him from behind around the waist and rested your head on his shoulder. Sensing this, Katzutora gently stroked your head and cheek, quietly reassuring you, his icy gaze never leaving the guests.
