PLEASE READ THE FICS IN THIS SERIES BEFORE READING THIS! THANKS!

This one gets a bit steamy haha

"I really don't have time for this right now, Tanya." Mao Mao sighed, not even sparing a glance in her direction.

"Do you mean you don't have time for this conversation or time for me." The tanuki raised an eyebrow, placing a hand on her hip.

Mao Mao, finally turning to meet her gaze, gave her a quizzical frown; his hands still pressed harshly against the traveler he was pushing into the alley wall. "Uh...both? I'm kinda in the middle of something."

"Yeah, beat it girlie." The weasel, who was currently being arrested, mumbled against the brick wall; only for his face to be pressed even deeper into the surface.

"Hey, did I say you could talk?" Mao Mao muttered. "You're already in trouble, buster. Don't make it worse."

Tanya rolled her eyes, ignoring the exchange. "Look, all I'm asking Mittens is that you ease up on Sun. I've seen the dark circles that boy has, and I know you've been keeping him up with your little hero exercises-"

"I'm not doing anything he hasn't agreed to."

"That's the problem." She groaned, shaking her head in an exasperated manner. "That boy of ours will agree to anything as long as it makes us happy, and it's rather obvious you are pushing him to his limit, even if both you and he can't see it."

The weasel snorted, his words muffled, "Your kid sounds like a loser-"

"Watch it!" Mao Mao and Tanya hissed in unison.

"...And see, that's the problem." Mao Mao looked back at the tanuki, his ears flattened still from the weasel's comment. "He has a limit. By the time I'm finished with him, he should be able to go on nightly reconnaissance for a week without rest!"

The cat finally peeled the weasel off the wall, after handcuffing their paws together; keeping them restrained. "So no, I won't 'ease' up on Sun. If he truly wants to become a real hero, this is what it takes."

"...it takes a lost childhood, a ravaged sleep schedule, and an uncaring father?" Tanya questioned, snarky.

"Uh...duh? That's what I had, and I'm quite the legendary hero." Mao Mao began to walk past Tanya out of the alley, pushing the handcuffed traveler to move forward as well. "And if you don't agree with my teaching practices, you can bite me-"

Before the cat could put his lightning-quick reflexes to work, he suddenly found himself pressed against the alley wall, with Tanya's paws pressing into his shoulders; her cyan eyes burrowing into his own. He couldn't focus on the distant sound of her magic in action, all of his attention was suddenly pulled to the woman pinning him to the alley wall.

"W-what are you doing?!" He spluttered, unprepared for the unplanned closeness.

"Hm, sorry, I thought that bite me comment was an invitation," Tanya smirked, showing off her sharp canines.

"You can't be s-serious! My-" His eyes widened, and he turned his attention away from Tanya to the alley. Other than them, it was empty. "Gah, the criminal! He ran off! Tanya Keys!"

"Calm your mittens, Mittens." She chuckled softly, and he could feel the vibrations from where their chests were pressed against one another. "I poofed him into a leaf when I grabbed you."

Mao Mao felt like he was gonna have a heart attack, this woman, "T-then where is he? I can't see any leaves-" Tanya leaned in even closer, their noses brushing, and his words ended in a squeak; the cat suddenly felt far too much like a teenager.

"I suppose he must've just blown away~"

"That is so irresponsible!"

"You love it."

"Grr...m-maybe a little..."

Tanya chuckled again, and god those vibrations were driving him crazy. Her smirk softened into a sly smile, and he couldn't help but stare at her lips as she closed the distance and-

Mao Mao couldn't even remember the last time they had kissed like this, nonetheless been this close. Her paws remained on his shoulders, pinning him to the wall; which was probably for the best since his knees felt like buckling. One of his gloved paws found purchase on her cheek, while the other grabbed onto her waist as his life depended on it. Tanya smirked into the kiss at the feeling of his tight grip.

It was only when she pulled away did he breathe, his chest heaving as air finally filled his lungs. "Tanya-"

Their muzzles met again, albeit much messier. He groaned softly into her mouth as she bit at his lip. When he finally did pull away, she growled at the loss of contact. "T-this is very unlawful, Keys."

"If that's the case Sheriff, then you should-"

"Don't say it-"

"-punish me~"

"Tanya..." Mao Mao hissed softly, closing his eyes, exasperated.

"...This wouldn't be happening if you'd let Sun take a break every once in a while, y' know." She licked her lips teasingly.

"Please don't bring our son's name into this." Mao Mao groaned, "Jeez, what am I even doing..."

"Well Sheriff Mittens, if you play your card perfectly, me." Her grin widened at his shocked expression. "And I really do mean perfectly."

Tanya pressed her muzzle to his cheek, pressing a soft kiss there; Mao Mao shivered. "So, are you gonna take Badgerclops, Adorabat, and most importantly Sun for ice cream tonight?"

"D-Dice training is usually tonight-"

"Exactly~"

"W-well I-"

"Uh, Dad? You around here?"

Both Mao Mao and Tanya's ears perked at the distant sound of Sun; although neither moved from their position.

"Hm, sounds like you better make up your mind quickly."

"You can't be serious-"

"Dad?"

"3..."

"Why ice cream-"

"2..."

"Hellllooo, dad?"

"Tanya-"

"1-"

"Gah!" Mao Mao pushed Tanya off him, his paws planted firmly on his hips, "N-no, I'm not gonna cancel his training just because you're dangling yourself in front of me like some sort of-"

"Oh, there you are Dad!" Sun suddenly poked his head into the alley, smiling brightly and innocently, "Oh, hey Mom! Didn't know you were here too."

"Hi, Kitten." She purred, before glancing back at the cat; her gaze teasing, "and that was the wrong answer, Mittens. Maybe next time, then."

"Uh, what are you two talking about?" Sun asked.

"Nothing dear, just some adult stuff." Tanya smiled far too innocently. "Why were you looking for your father?"

"Oh, yeah! Well, I was gonna ask him about this! I found it blowing around in the main square." The canuki pulled a leaf out from his belt. "But now that you're here, it's kinda obvious where it came from."

"Ah, and there's your weasel guy, Mittens." Tanya chuckled, "Lucky you!"

Mao Mao, looking suddenly far too tired for his age, sighed. "yeah... lucky me."
