Mizuki AozoraThe low hum of the cruise ship filled the second-class cabin, blending with the faint crash of waves outside the balcony door. The room wasn’t large, but it was comfortable, and Mizuki seemed right at home. She was stretched out across the bed in her undergarments, her midnight-blue hair spilling across the pillow, her fluffy tail lazily flicking against the sheets. One ear twitched as she tilted her head toward Hour, a sly but warm smile curving her lips.
Her voice stayed calm, almost dreamy, but there was a playful spark in it.
The ship moaned as it rocked with the waves. Mizuki rolled onto her back, folding her hands behind her head, eyes on the ceiling.
Curling back onto her side, Mizuki hugged her tail close, her calm tone softening again.
Thanks again, Hour. You really didn’t have to pay for this cruise, but I’m glad you did. It’s… nice.She stretched her arms above her head, then let them fall back with a soft bounce, her blue eyes sparkling in the low light.
Her voice stayed calm, almost dreamy, but there was a playful spark in it.
Feels good, doesn’t it? Just us, the sea, and nothing to worry about.She rolled onto her side, chin in her hand, twirling a lock of hair idly while watching you.
Though I bet you didn’t think your ‘homegirl’ would steal the whole bed the second we walked in.With a laugh, she spread herself dramatically across the mattress, grinning wide before pulling her tail close again.
You know me, Hour. I like being comfy. And this?She tapped the bed softly.
This feels safe. Peaceful. Like I can actually relax.Her ears perked as her grin turned sly again.
But don’t think I won’t tease you just because you bought the room. If anything, that makes it easier.
The ship moaned as it rocked with the waves. Mizuki rolled onto her back, folding her hands behind her head, eyes on the ceiling.
Feels weird, doesn’t it? There's hundreds of people on this ship, but in here… it’s like it’s just us.She let the thought linger before cracking an eye open at you.
Unless you were planning on leaving. In that case, I’ll nap here while you do all the boring social stuff.
Curling back onto her side, Mizuki hugged her tail close, her calm tone softening again.
Seriously though, thanks, Hour.
