Chapter 23 - Comfort

Hanna lets out a shaky sigh, her body relaxing slightly in your embrace as she hears your promise. She lifts her head to look up at you, her eyes still teary but filled with a mix of relief and vulnerability.

-"Thank you," she whispers, her voice thick with emotion. "Thank you for not leaving me. I need you, you know. I don't want to be alone ever again."

She clings to you, her body pressing against yours as if trying to merge with you. Her cat ears twitch slightly, reacting to the emotions running through her.

After a moment of silence, Hanna speaks again, her voice still vulnerable.

-"Can... Can you hold me tighter? Just for a little while longer?"

You tighten your grip around her, pulling her as close to you as possible. Her small frame fits against yours perfectly, her head resting on your chest as she listens to the steady beat of your heart.

She lets out a soft sigh, her body completely enveloped in your embrace. She closes her eyes, feeling safe and comforted by the way you're holding her.

-"Thank you," she whispers again, her voice soft and warm against your chest. "This is... really nice."

Hanna snuggles closer to you, her body completely relaxed in your arms. She lifts one of her legs and drapes it over yours, further securing herself in your embrace.

She lets out a content sigh, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. She feels safe and secure in your arms, her vulnerable emotions slowly melting away.

-"Can... can we stay like this for a while?" She asks, her voice barely above a whisper.

-"As long as you want, my love..."

Hanna's heart skips a beat as you call her "my love." Her cat ears perk up slightly at your words, a hint of pinkness appearing on her cheeks. She doesn't say anything in response, but you can feel her body press a little bit tighter against yours, as if seeking more of your affection and comfort.

She nuzzles her face against your chest, a soft hum of contentment escaping her lips. She closes her eyes, relishing in the warmth and comfort of your embrace.

The room is quiet, save for the soft hum of the Kotatsu beneath the both of you and the sound of your steady breathing. Hanna remains cuddled up against you, her small frame fitting perfectly in your arms.

She lets out a small, content sigh, her body gradually relaxing even more as she enjoys the closeness between the two of you. She opens her eyes to gaze up at you, a soft smile on her lips.

She looks so vulnerable and needy in this moment, desperately seeking comfort and reassurance from you Hanna reaches up and gently brushes a strand of hair away from your face, her slender fingers tracing a soft path along your cheek. Her eyes meet yours, filled with a mixture of vulnerability and yearning.

-"Can... can I ask you something?" She asks, her voice barely above a whisper.

-" Yeah"

Hanna hesitates for a moment, her fingers still lingering on your cheek as she gathers her thoughts. Finally, she takes a deep breath and speaks.

-"Do... do you really mean it when you say you won't leave me?"

Her voice is soft and vulnerable, her eyes searching yours for an answer. She looks so small and fragile, like a fragile piece of glass that needs to be handled with care and tenderness.

-"You know, a lot of girl now start to like me recently."

Hanna's cat ears twitch slightly at your words, and you can see a flash of something in her eyes. Jealousy? Worry? She tries to play it cool, but you can tell that your words have affected her in some way.

-"Oh, is that so?" She replies, her voice carefully neutral. Despite her attempt at nonchalance, you notice a slight hint of tension in her body.

-"But I really don't care about them, because they only care about my wealth."

Hanna's expression softens a bit at your words. She can see the truth in your eyes, that you're not interested in the other girls because they only care about your wealth rather than you as a person.

She sighs, her body relaxing a little bit. There's a hint of a smile on her lips as she replies. "Yeah, I figured as much. You're too good for girls like that anyway."

-"And you are different, you wanted me"

Hanna nods her head slightly, a soft smile appearing on her lips. She reaches up and gently brushes her fingers against your cheek, her touch light and affectionate.

-"Yeah, I do. I genuinely like you because of who you are, not what you have. You're kind, caring, and most importantly... you want me too."

She pauses for a moment, her cat ears twitching slightly as she gathers her thoughts. She looks at you with a small, shy smile.

-"You make me feel safe and wanted. No one else has ever made me feel that way before. And that... that means a lot to me."

You lean in and gently kiss her and Hanna's eyes widen in surprise as you do that. But she quickly melts into the kiss, her body instantly relaxing in your embrace. She kisses you back, her lips moving against yours in a soft and tender manner. Her cat ears twitch slightly as she deepens the kiss, her hands reaching up to gently cradle your face.

She tilts her head slightly to deepen the kiss further, her body pressing closer to yours. Her tongue gently brushes against your lips, seeking more of your affection and intimacy. She closes her eyes, completely lost in the moment as she kisses you with a mixture of tenderness and hunger.

You pull away from the kiss, and Hanna lets out a small, involuntary whine of protest. She looks up at you with wide, slightly dazed eyes, her body still pressed close to yours. She looks a bit flushed and breathless, her lips slightly parted as if craving more.

-"I know you have shower but do you want to shower together?"

Hanna's face flushes bright scarlet at your suggestion, her eyes widening in surprise. She looks embarrassed and hesitant, but also a bit curious.

-"I--I... y-you want us to... shower together?" She stutters, her voice laced with a mixture of surprise and bashfulness. She glances up at you, her cat ears twitching as she contemplates your suggestion.
