All these stories began with a wall. Certain members of the SPR team recently discovered that there was a certain spot on the wall between Naru's office and the rest was particularly thin and they could hear everything that went on in his office.

Monk-san discovered it first because he had been lucky enough to have moved his desk right next to that stop because his previous place was always sunny in the afternoon which often interfered with his afternoon nap. He jumped when he heard Mai and Naru's voices coming from right next to him. He looked around and realised it was coming from the wall. He gave a slow smile and settled his head next to the spot and began to listen.

"Mai, I have something to show you. Now try not scream. It's becoming an awful habit."

"Naru, I don't scream for fun. I scream when I'm caught off guard."

There was a rustle and then a small thud.

"Oh!" exclaimed Mai.

What did he show her? Oh no! Not that. That pervert! She's too sweet and wholesome. It would be like flashing the Strawberry Shortcake character. He wondered if he should offer up a quick prayer for Mai's eternal soul.

"Surprised you, didn't I?" said Naru smugly. There was no response from Mai. His voice became gentler, "You aren't scared, are you?"

"No-o, just surprised that's all. I was a bit freaked out when it moved while it was still inside though."

"Don't worry, it won't hurt you."

"That's what everyone says."

"Trust me. Touch it."

Monk-san honestly wondered if he should intervene. Should he defend Mai's honour? Not that she was putting up much of a fight... He then wondered if he should stop eavesdropping on them. 'No, I should listen on... Just in case, Mai needs help and Naru doesn't take no as an answer'.

He sighed, "See, I'm touching it and it's fine."

She hesitated, "Ok, then... Oh, it's so soft! I never thought it would be so cute."

Cute? Monk-san had not expected that. C-U-T-E. Oh god.

"I love the fuzziness."

FUZZINESS? Wow, maybe Naru should go to a doctor. That can't be normal.

"And it's so small."

SMALL? Well, that's one burning question answered. Now if only he could get an answer about Lin's size.

"I want to carry it around with me all day."

At that point, Monk-san's mind shut down. 'Please, no.'

"I can't have you distracted like this all day," said Naru. It almost sounded as if there was a hint of amusement in his voice.

"I love the way it feels."

Oh god, I'm never going to ask her to make me sandwiches again. No amount of disinfectant in the world would kill those germs. Plus, they are Naru germs, they are probably genius germs too and impervious to disinfectants!

"Can I name it?"

Oh, slightly kinky...

"If you must..."

"Naru Jr? Mini-Naru?"

I wonder if they'll take me back to the monastery after this? I may be too unclean after this incident.

"If you aren't going to be serious about it, I'm going to take it away from you."

"No! I like it, it's sooo warm. It makes me feel happy."

They are consenting adults, consenting adults, consenting adults, consenting adults...

"Stop squashing it against your cheek, Mai."

CONSENTING ADULTS, CONSENTING ADULTS, CONSENTING ADULTS, CONSENTING ADULTS...

The door swung open and Mai appeared before Monk-san.

"Monk-san, look at what Naru gave me!"

Monk-san's jaw dropped. In her hands was a small black hamster.

"Isn't it the cutest?"

"Yes," he managed weakly.

Later on that day, Mai went into Naru's office to deliver his tea.

"Naru?"

There was an answering grunt from Naru.

"Where's Monk-san?"

"He went home early, he said he wasn't feeling very well. He also muttered something about kids these days..."
